New Super Mario Bros. 2

[Ninspriterx]

Personally what I think is a huge factor is the innovation jump. From Super Mario World to Super Mario 64, and a Link to the Past to Ocarina of Time the jump was more than landing on the moon. That's why those games are settled in our brains so deeply. We yearn for a new giant leap but every new game is only a baby step forward.

As for what I expect for NSMB2: Franchises will get to the point where it may become more fan-service, than innovation. Nintendo is abusing the nostalgic button but any one mad at the fact would probably calm down if Wario or Peach was playable.

As of now there's nothing about it is known. I am very interested to see what the game is really about.
