New Super Mario Bros. 2

[Koopaul]

You must admit this is very lazy on Nintendo's part. It looks like they took NSMB and made new levels and powerups. They didn't build a game from the ground up.

Simply put, the New Super Mario Bros. series was fine for the first two, but now we need to move on to something better.

Unironically, I would like examples of "something better". When people want/expect a sequel, I believe they actually just want more levels to play and maybe some different power ups? A radically different game is something else. Like Super Mario 3D Land, not New Super Mario Bros.

I guess SMB3 IS radically different from the first one, but well, the first one doesn't have that much content either. SMW isn't that different from SMB3 in my opinion, they're basically the same mechanic.

Not at all.

Not only does Super Mario World have different physics (so it feels and plays different) but it also has a totally new visual style, takes place in a brand new setting, offers new mechanics like Spin Jumping and throwing shells up, most of the enemies are new, Yoshi riding, alternate routes on the map, ect.

The game was very much it's own thing without radically changing the formula.

They didn't make a Super Mario Bros. 3 with Yoshi. They made a completely new game.

This is not the case. I want a new Mario game.

a game you have been playing for the last 30 years with no particualr interest than baby-steps gameplay.

then, we got another port.

tl;dr:Its mario. its not meant to redesing itself, its meant to just be there and be mario, that game you can basically ask anyone to play.

That's not true either. Most Mario games feel like a different experience. And they are.

I can't say I've been playing the same game for 30 years, but I have been playing the same series for that long.
