As always, I can only speak for myself, but the Wii U has been worth what I've paid for it so far. I got NSMBU, Zombi U and Super Metroid on VC. Planning to get W101, Pikmin 3, Batman, SM3DL, and WW HD this year alone (and I'm still planing on picking up MH3U some time soon). I'm loving my Wii U, I have a feeling I'm gonna spend more time with the Wii U this gen than the PS4.

Wow, besides the terrible music compared to Galaxy this looks really good.

You must have missed the first three words that said "the initial impression". You're putting words in my mouth.

What's that video icon in the corner?

I believe it means the camera is auto controlled. In the Developer Direct video, it changes into something else when manually changing the angle.
Ok thanks for that.

-I really wanted a Super Mario 64 sequel
-I love the cat suit
-the levels seem a little bland. I'm not sure if it's the design, or a lack of a compelling environmental theme.
-graphically it looks fine. "Basic" Mario, but serviceable.
-I'm liking the music--the tune in Mice Hills is super catchy
-I do NOT want orchestral music in this...

It looks very nice, but I'm still not thrilled this is what the new, big 3D Mario is. I really liked 3D Land, but I played so much of it and I guess I wanted something with more....granduer, it's certainly an element you just can't seem to get in platformers, anymore.
Will buy, but not right away.

It doesnt have to be grandiose bravado to be orchestral and still fit
The orchestra meets bluegrass Tricky Treasure track from Rayman Origins or Mario Galaxy 2's Puzzle Plank Galaxy always struck me as the route Mario music should go.
I think the music in 3D World is pretty darn catchy but it could be better.

Okay so I just rewatched the Nintendo Direct and im starting to firmly believe the "3D series" is a new branch for Mario games in the vein of New Super Mario Bros.
From the Direct Iwata explained the game as:

Considering the stagnancy in the NSMB series, those are some scary quotes.

I didn't mean its a "rehash" game like the NSMB series. I meant it as that its a new branch for Mario games like how NSMB are the 2D games, Mario3D are the 3D/2D mix games, and games like 64, Sunshine, Galaxy/2 are the "real" 3D games. The use of word 3D makes it confusing but I think you get the point.
So basically im assuming we have 3 mainline series for Mario now:
New Super Mario Bros. _____
Super Mario 3D ______
Super Mario ______
That was hardly the focus of the game. Those visual tricks were one of many new elements. Making the focus of the game a graphics feature that can be turned off would be very stupid.
3D Land was designed to fuse 2D and 3D Mario and create a style of gameplay that was as easy to understand as possible. It's meant to be the most accessible Mario game and the 3D visuals can help some players better understand the 3D gameplay space. The 8-way run is another way they've tried to bridge the gap between 2D and 3D gameplay. The game was received incredibly well in Japan because of this style of gameplay so it's understandable that they would build on it.

We'll have to see if they can shake it up better than they've done with NSMB. That series just depresses me.

I think it's a lot to assume that there'll be a third mainline series. I think it's reasonable to guess that this is their effort to homogenize 3D mario in the same way they homogenized 2D mario in the hopes that a distillation of the 3D mario games to the most basic elements of platforming with a consistent aesthetic will draw people in by selling them exactly what they already know they like. I'm hopeful I'm wrong, but that's my take on this.

Its alot to assume but its not impossible. As you stated it seems they're trying to bridge the gap between what people know and what people dont. I think having a 3rd series that implements both the styles of the NSMB and SMB___ just gives people another option and would help people familiarize themselves w/ what the SMB___ series can offer while still having its own unique experience.
Yo just noticed. Guess who's fcking back from Super Mario World.
Super Mario World
Super Mario 3D Wolrd
It is a sequel to the World - series
NYAN NYAN!
That song in the first level is so kitschy and awful that it's catchy.
I don't get the people who would rather have Galaxy 3 than this. One of the things I used to admire about Nintendo is that they rarely made direct sequels. That's changed in recent years. 2 Galaxies is more than enough. As unambitious as 3D World is, it's still different enough from 3D Land that I don't consider it a direct sequel.
Btw, if anyone from Ninty is reading this: please convince the producers of 3D World to implement online multiplayer. I get that local mp is better, but that's not an option for everyone.
Where are you guys getting this from? Sounds like wishful thinking to me.

They should take note from Rayman at least... online leadboards

Just realized.
THE TREES ARE STRAIGHT OUT OF MARIO 64!!!

Me too, I really liked the video.
I'm not deciding anything, that's just my opinion, or do we have to clarify it every time we write a post with our name before it? In my opinion had this game featured a more impressive graphical style and a spectacular trailer along with it, there would be much less people complaining
Despite my initial disappointment, i think i'm actually really warming up to this one. While I find it perhaps a little hard to articulate why, I almost think it looks like one of the best mixtures of the sensibilities of a 2D and 3D mario game, mixed in to one. I don't mean to imply it looks like it'll be the best 3D mario, but it looks like one that'll most feel comparable to it's 2D counterparts.
Funnily, similar to how i feel about Sonic Lost World on the Wii-U, which while a 3D sonic game, looks to at last capturing what makes the 2D sonic games great.

If you use the right-stick, then the camera position changes and that is what the icon is.
