I imagine there will be a lot less now. The E3 trailer was like... really bad.

Okay I admit I was a doubter, but why didn't we see some of this at e3? This trailer is leagues ahead of what we saw at e3, so you can't blame me for doubting.
Take my money now.

You did maybe. A lot of people prophesied an overall awful game that didn't live up to their standards.

That trailer theme. My god, I am in love. That shit better not be reserved for the title screen or w/e.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Yep. This is amazing.
Weirdly, it's like the 3D Land reaction all over again. "Meh" > "Wow!"

From the article:
"But while I did enjoy my time in each of the five different stages we were allowed to play, I still can't help but long for the vast, open, and mysterious environments of Mario 64 and Sunshine."
Game looks far better than before, but it doesn't really change this main criticism.
Ah, looking at the scene where the goombas are behind the sliding doors, I wonder if there will be other environmental secrets that are revealed by swiping the fingers around the gamepad. There looks to be more than "holding enemies" and "revealing invisible coins/blocks".
^It would have to be a preference thing then. It delves into "what should a game be and does it have to be this way". If Mario 3D World aims to be a densely packed 3D platformer with obstacles and traps and surprises in every block, and has enjoyable multiplayer fun, then I hope the game is reviewed based on what it tries to accomplish and not how people wish it were.

And decided to render a final verdict based on only that. They fit into 1 of the 4 categories.

Not original my ass!
That was awesome.
That was awesome.
I miss this as well. I'm hoping they decide to return to a more open environment some day.

It initially didn't seem like much to begin with other than a Wii U version of 3D Land. Also, people were wanting a Galaxy type game instead. That could be Nintendo's fault though, because the trailers they have been showing really don't seem to do the game justice after this new one was shown. Regardless, this game looks awesome now and I for sure will be getting it day 1.
It's only a criticism if you think SM64 & Sunshine are better than SMG, SMG2, and 3D Land.

it's a 3D Land/World title, not a successor to 64/Sunshine/Galaxy. I bet one of those is coming too, collecting Stars and shit.
I never doubted EAD Tokyo. Sure, the game initially looked fairly uninspiring compared to Super Mario Galaxy's unveiling, but having only shown off one trailer and one demo, there was obviously more to the game that was was initially revealed. Of course, it remains to be seen how it ends up overall. Personally, I'd only plan to play the game in single player mode, so the multiplayer component doesn't have much value to gamers like myself.
Not to be that guy, but i'll go ahead and say two things:
1) For the people saying "I can't wait to see the haters take everything back", this trailer does very little to alleviate any of the concerns that pessimists had of the game. It still has a 3D Land formula, still very linear level design, the running and jumping mechanics of mario frankly don't seem as fun as in previous 3D Mario games (I'd have to play to verify if that's a valid complaint), etc etc.
2) This game does look like awesome, and this trailer does show that they added enough interesting and distinct things to make it not feel like a 3D Land map pack. Still would rather have a game like Super Mario 64 in design, but I'm definitely picking it up.

Wow, this write up got me even more hyped up than the trailer did. Everything about this game is sounding awesome. I had been planning to buy a Wii U for DKC and then get this afterwards, but I might have to move my schedule up some if the finances will allow it.
It's better than I could have even dreamed possible.
Indeed. I wasn't even sure I was going to buy it after the E3 reveal (bland levels, almost complete focus on multiplayer)...but this has turned me around almost completely.
Wow, that was amazing. It's like a totally different game from E3.
That gif showed the best part of the trailer. I was really confused when I saw a Goomba with two long blue legs.
Great news on the multiplayer controllers, I didn't want to have to buy more Wii U controllers.
Japanese site: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wiiu/ardj/index.html#
Confirms multiplayer can use any controller compatible with Wii U.
Rendering resolution is 720P.

After SMG you had to wonder how they could come up with new ideas to top it.
After SMG2 you had to wonder if they could possibly come up with anything new.
After SM3DL you had to wonder if this time they really had used up the last new ideas.
With 3DW we may as well just assume there are another three or four games' worth of new ideas still to come.
EAD Tokyo keep subverting the genre in all the best ways.
don't put galaxy alongised N64 and Sunshine, if the critics is: "the vast, open, and mysterious environments of Mario 64 and Sunshine"
galaxy was the opposite, and 3DLand (and possibly this) was just on the same path: bring the platform back to..the platforms.
