NSMB wasn't it.

It was short, linear, the levels were uninspired and empty and there was little challenge. The blue shell sucked a big one too.

SMG just feels like Sunshine - decent game but nowhere near the classic 'replayable over and over again' nature of SMB3 or SMB4.

And that isn't nostalgia speaking - I spent more time hooked on SMB4 recently on a NY to London flight than I thought possible.

Wouldn't it be nice if Nintendo pumped some serious development might behind SMB5 Wii?

Probably would have sold more too judging by NSMB's worldwide sales.

 

[Splash Wave]

New Super Mario Bros.?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Nope.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Um.... no? The NDS isn't capable of delivering an incredible 3D experience. The Wii is. Leave the 3D Marios on consoles and make new 2D ones for the NDS. Everyone wins!

 

[beef3483]

I think 2D games fit better on the DS.

 

[OliveJuice]

NSMB was an awesome game, just not difficult enough.

 

[Great Rumbler]

Good thing we got both!

 

[GamerSoul]

Not before we get Metroid 5. >_>

 

[CPS2]

Would anyone else have preferred a proper 2D sequel to SMB4.

I would've preferred a true 3D sequel to Zelda IX.

 

[Xeke]

Rather that than the best game of all time? No way.

 

[Johnas]

I was thinking how cool it'd be to have a new 2D Mario on Wii, but it just won't happen. Be glad we got Galaxy.

I highly doubt there will be a NSMB2 for DS either, despite the stellar sales of the first game.

 

[A Link to the Past]

If you don't live in Japan, it's called Super Mario World.

Calling it SMB4 just confuses anyone who doesn't know what that is, either asking wtf or "New SMB?", and there's no point to it besides showing off.

But anyway, no. SMG is just fine. Keep proper 2D sequels on the DS, make SMG2 please.

 

[Windu]

No

My question was a shorthand way of considering New Super Mario Bros. as the sequel to world, I knew what he meant. I agree with your point though.

I don't understand your logic.

 

[fernoca]

SMG just feels like Sunshine...

I just stopped reading there..
And so did my 360/PS3 fan(boy) friends...some of which are even planning on getting a Wii just for Galaxy...

SMW was really called SMB4 in Japan?

 

[Johnas]

I don't understand your logic.

How often does Nintendo release new Mario platformers these days? Yeah.

I'd be happy to see it, but I'm certainly not holding my breath.

 

[Joe Molotov]

You shut your filthy mouth.

There was a time when we didn't get Metroid games either. Then we got 7 in 5 years. (Prime, Fusion, Echoes, Pinball, Zero Mission, Hunters, Corruption).

 

[Vic]

I thought that the main title was SMB4.

 

[drohne]

a new 2d mario with galaxy's kind of invention and style would be amazing -- galaxy shows you the degree to which new smb was just going through the motions, though it certainly played pretty well. maybe this will light a fire under new smb 2's team -- and they've got to be doing new smb 2, right?

 

[Johnas]

Don't forget Zero Mission.

Like I said, bring it on if they want, I'd love to be pleasantly surprised.

NICE EDIT (I forgot Fusion )

 

[Great Rumbler]

You edited!

I initially forgot Fusion as well. Which is actually my favorite of the seven games.

 

[Slavik81]

So what's Yoshi's Island? Chopped liver?

 

[Gigglepoo]

So what's Yoshi's Island? Chopped liver?

The best spinoff since Super Mario Kart.

 

[jooey]

it's because you're old. Get over it and continue having a life.

 

[Johnas]

Yoshi's Island is awesome, but it's different enough that I think it's fair to exclude it for the sake of this discussion.

 

[Slavik81]

The best spinoff since Super Mario Kart.

But how can Super Mario World be SMB4, while Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island not be SMB5?

 

[Gigglepoo]

But how can Super Mario World be SMB4, while Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island not be SMB5?

Because Super Mario World is the sequel to Super Mario Bros. 3 whereas Yoshi's Island is (by my crazy definition) a spinoff of the main series... despite the similar name.

 

[drohne]

i count two metroid games, four lame spinoffs, and one good one

 

[evlcookie]

2D mario > 3D mario. But that's just how I personally see it. I never got into the 3D mario games, i played them and enjoyed them but it just wasn't the same.

So yes give me a real 2D mario game please.

 

[tjhooker]

But how can Super Mario World be SMB4, while Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island not be SMB5?

SMW was SMB4. I had the Super Famicom version and it was subtitled SMB4. Yoshi's Island was just a spin off with Yoshi being the main character.

 

[Slavik81]

Because Super Mario World is the sequel to Super Mario Bros. 3 whereas Yoshi's Island is (by my crazy definition) a spinoff of the main series... despite the similar name.

Fair enough.

Although I think the Super Mario Lands were probably close enough to the main series to count.

 

[ZealousD]

But how can Super Mario World be SMB4, while Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island not be SMB5?

The same way that WarioLand 2 isn't Super Mario Land 4 (and subsequently WL3/4 aren't SML5/6), or Jedi Knight II isn't Dark Forces III, or why Final Fantasy X-2 isn't Final Fantasy XI.

Sequels that diverge from the original spirit of the franchise are just weird with how they number things.

 

[Suburban Cowboy]

The best mario games are SMW2 and ML3.

 

[SuperAndroid17]

SMG just feels like Sunshine - decent game but nowhere near the classic 'replayable over and over again' nature of SMB3 or SMB4.

No , just no

 

[Zerodoppler]

It was short, linear, the levels were uninspired and empty and there was little challenge.

The 2d Mario games are replayable because they are short and sweet.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Wait... what?

There are five legit Metroid games (Prime, Echoes, Corruption, Fusion and Hunters) one remake (Zero Mission) and one spinoff (Pinball). I will not hear a bad word about Prime, Corruption or Fusion. Zero Mission is obviously great since the source material was amazing and Pinball was a surprisingly solid pinball game. Honestly, with 5 of the 7 games falling between Damn Good and Great, the Metroid name has only been bolstered these last few years.

 

[silenttwn]

Nope, not really. Galaxy is fresh.

 

[Slavik81]

Errr... So does that mean SMB2 (US) is excluded? Which SMB2 is the OP talking about? The Lost Levels or the US release of SMB2?

It's drohne...

 

[tjhooker]

Getting all 96 levels in SMB4 wasn't short nor easy on the first attempt. Certainly sweet.

I'd venture to say the levels in Star World alone outclass all of NSMB's levels.

 

[talking head]

i just hope whoever develops nsmb 2 throws in some of that sexy charm that galaxy is spilling over with. there was something sorely lacking from nsmb, greatly hindering my enjoyment of the game.

 

[Gigglepoo]

It's drohne...

Is he a known troll? I have such a hard time keeping everything straight on this board. Though I'm sure some people who prematurely dubbed me "Wii Hater" are confused at my optimistic outlook on the system...

 

[ZealousD]

In Japan, Lost Levels is the real SMB2. Our SMB2 is known as Super Mario Bros USA over there.

That's really a whole 'nother can of worms right there.

 

[Suburban Cowboy]

can you PLEASE stop calling Super Mario World SMB4, its annoying

 

[Vic]

i just hope whoever develops nsmb 2 throws in some of that sexy charm that galaxy is spilling over with. there was something sorely lacking from nsmb, greatly hindering my enjoyment of the game.

Yeah, I do except great things from NSMB2 after Galaxy.
