Not necessarily, although that might have been what I saw.

I was only apprehensive when it was first shown because the fact they changed the controls of a 3D Mario game really surprised me, and I still don't know if it's the right decsision.
The 3DS finally has analog control, and they ignore it in a 3D Mario game. Sort of the opposite of Mario 64 DS.
I was always super upbeat about Skyward Sword though.

In the 3D downloadable trailer (E3), there is a part where Mario is doing a long jump.

I definitely think this'll be good, I'm just not sure it'll be a top tier Mario game or not yet. It seems kinda uninspired, like it's picking lots of low hanging fruit and just going with it. I still can't believe the button to run thing, but it won't ruin it for me. I just hope the game picks up, its sort of lumbering speed relative to the best Mario games just gives me pause.

that is strange, what IS up with the speed of this game??
I mean is it a frame rate issue or is the speed simply uber slow compared to something like galaxy?

no i mean in the videos EVEN when he is running, it still looks slower than it should ?
I played quite a bit of this at E3 and it was my favorite game on the show floor. I guess it does look a little slow in the videos, but the controls felt spot on in the game. The 3D was also really nice. And I got a little Mario pin with a shadow tail. Very fun. Really looking forward to this.

I think having a control method set-up screen would be about one of the most un-Mario things you could put into the game.
Billychu said:
has it been brought up in interviews? I'm guessing they probably went with the control scheme they did because this 3D Mario will have way more 2D segments than past iterations.
I can't wait for the Iwata Asks. There's already a video for the Japanese version:

I wonder what they say.

Hmmm. I'm definately tired of traditional mario.
FreeMufasa said:
I know the genre is going through a phase right now with making new games more like the old games (Megaman 9 and 10, Sonic 4 and Sonic Generations, DKCR, Rayman Origins), but Mario doesn't need that, because what is new is just as good if not better than the old stuff.
That is why going back to 2D-like gameplay on a 3D game doesn't feel like it is great justice, it feels like it is a severe downgrade. The game is still bound to be good though.
FreeMufasa said:
if you're tired of traditional Mario, couldn't you just play one of the dozens of non-traditional platformers out there until you could stop feeling ADHD'd on on the traditional Mario formula, and this way one of the last bastions for pure platforming could remain alive and well?
Besides, games like Super Mario Galaxy and Yoshi's Island prove that there is plenty of wiggle room in the Mario universe to try new ideas platforming-wise, so I'm not sure what the line is for 'traditional'. By all accounts, Super Mario 3D Land is really quite traditional... it just has a lot of control barriers that shouldn't be there. Too slow, press button to run, kind of simplistic level design from all the videos I've seen. It's another one of those maybe in between Mario titles that Nintendo thinks is important to bridge the non-gaming crowd into the new paradigm they believe 3DS is bringing with its abysmal autostereoscopic 3D. In this case, they feel the 3D will help bridge those who are familiar with the 2D style straight forward level design with the more outlandish and complicated 3D design. I think it's evident in how restrained the world design seem in terms of difficulty. It's very simple so far. I'm sure there will be difficult parts by the end (like NSMB Wii), but most of these games are spent languishing in the glazed-eye boring "for-infants" parts and that's always a bummer for me.
Typically whenever Nintendo thinks it prudent to start handholding the new gen to make them comfortable with a concept, the game that is the guinea pig in question ends up being a bottom tier title in the franchise. I hope this is not the case here, but I can't quite pin down this game. I am excited, but I just feel like I'm not as excited as I should be.
Really the bigger problem is how boring the Mario universe is at this point. They've been abused in every genre known to mankind, and frankly it's routine and lame at this point. I'd love for them to put their big budgets and ideas into brand new characters and universes in brand new platforming titles, rather than feel obligated to once again check that box.
P.S. Mufasa is dead, time to deal with it.
Hard to judge the game from what we've seen. Potential is there, seems to bring a lot of creativity/variety. I'm not a big mario platformer fan but I may buy it waiting for Mario Kart if it ends up being really good. Love the way it looks in 3D on some scenes.

Does it look like there's a lot of creativity? That's my biggest problem. it doesn't seem particularly creative at all.
Let me give you a fairly simple straightforward example. To date, what is everyone getting excited about in the latest announcements? Tanooki suit, P Wing, stuff like that. This is not 'creative.' It's old ground being unearthed to tickle the nostalgic funnybone. Most of the stuff is the same from what we've seen: simpler versions of things we've seen in Galaxy, World or 3. And with the added control and slower speed complications which really have no business being part of the mix.
What seems creative to you? For the sake of sanity, let's skip over the 3D parlor tricks when you clip the 3D on and stick to the fundamentals that are actually impacting the gameplay design. As far as I can see, there are almost no new ideas here at all.
I've read quite a bit about the title but I'd love to hear about some things which are actually new and creative, 'cause I must have missed it in that case
I don't expect 3D Land to replace a newer and proper 3D Mario platformer on WiiU or even 3DS and I'm very curious what Nintendo can achieve on a game structure they rejected when they first researched how a 3D Mario should have been.Willy105 said:
In the same way I've appreciated how Nintendo tried to transplant 2D gameplay into 3D with Other M although the game had several other flaws.

On the picture on the website, you see a Luigi Statue down in the corner...so it seems there will be some version of the Tanooki Suit that does that.

@Amir0x
If by creative, you mean innovative, I agree, there is very little of that here. However, what's creative is the way levels are put together, where everything is balanced so that each bit feels like a unique part of the world yet it all flows seamlessly -- yes, we've seen almost everything before, but not all put together at once. It doesn't specifically rely on a new gimmick (3D is arguable, but it's not really the main focus of the gameplay itself).
