I probably wouldn't even bother picking up NSMB2 unless it was sold to me for a buck. actually, not even that, it'd have to be worth a penny. And not even the fact that it's a Mario game can save it from that.

I mean really that whole game seems like a massive insult to what Mario can do in a platformer and frankly it really disappointed me when I saw the trailer. It just showed me that Nintendo is really losing control of the Mario series and what to do with it. How it got decent reviews is beyond me but quite frankly, I just don't think it's really worth my money just to play a game where I have to get money.

I'm really disappointed with nintendo for that alone.

I see where the disappoinment comes from, but I feel most are completely blowing it out of proportion to the point that my head explodes everytime I read the word 'rehash'.
Sure, you have every right to hate the game, it's your opinion. It's just the magnitute of the hate it gets that I find unjustified. It's decent, but fall way short. That doesn't mean it's the devil's bastard child that should've never been born.
I have to agree that Nintendo, or just Nintendo EAD, is being a big, moronic money-whore for releasing 5-10 Mario games in such a short timespan, let alone run 2 NSMB projects at the same time!
However, jumping into the conclusion the game is bad just because it's a rehash with a broken gimmick? Play SMB:LL. For some reason the 'fake' SMB2 gets more hate than a harder rehash of SMB1.
Or I'm just rambling nonsense, I don't know. Call me a fanboy if you want, I don't care. Just putting it out there.

While I think NSMB2 is bad, it isn't THAT bad like he put it. It's not insulting and it's most certainly fun. It's just boring and bland, that's all. But it works pretty well for a portable Mario
