With those games being too much like NSMB it does get monotonous for me. In fairness, I've not played 3D Land or World, but Galaxy 2 was disappointingly samey after having played through NSMB Wii.

I understand how 3D Land and World are more like the 2D games (which I think is a neat change of pace. I always wondered what a traditional Mario would be like in a 3D environment), but how is Galaxy 2 any more like the 2D games? The whole game was built right from Galaxy 1 and is pretty much a new set of levels, with the same game play mechanics and engine. If anything, most people criticized how it was too much like the first Galaxy (and it is, but I wouldn't have it any other way).

Do you say that because there are a handful of 2D sections?

Your reading comprehension isn't very good. Where did I mention Mario 64?

You asked Segadream why did he say Luigi wasn't in Mario 64 & I mentioned that the game is one player only.

I recall Galaxy 2 having mostly linear level designs that shunned exploration and many parts where it was basically side scrolling, get from point A to point B with checkpoints, and that was the only objective in some of them (one star per level?!). The levels seemed longer, but there were actually less of them per Galaxy which also irritated me. I think Land and World are shaping up to be more of what Galaxy 2 was. I just think by the time we already had NSMB DS and Wii, we didn't need more of that. Definitely now that we have NSMB 2, Wii U, plus NSL about to drop, I think they should keep the two gameplay styles separate.

Mario 64 was never mentioned in what I quoted from him and certainly not in my response either. WTF?!

Sega at least gave us more good sonic games.
Nintendo gave us the same old games redone.(with at least lost levels)
Speaking of lost levels, what the hell Nintendo?, Doki Doki hack? for super Mario 2?
WTF?
With hacks today im glad to see SMW and Sonic have many many good ones.
More of these than any other hack ever.
It seems most companies don't know what really sells.
There should have been a Luigi game for the 64.
I guess he was busy making the Mario RPG manual.
We had to wait until the ds came out to FINALLY get LUIGI.
They held him over us until the GC came out.
Then they didn't even team up the brothers!

He was stating that Luigi wasn't featured in Mario 64 and that he eventually did appear in Mario 64 DS.

What exactly were you referring to? I would like to know.

I never quoted that part, which means: my response was not to what he had said about Mario 64. Seriously!

Mario was teamed up with Luigi in the arcade game Mario Bros. in 1983. He was also an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. on the N64.

Still puzzled. What were you referring to again?

I responded to this part of his post. How is this puzzling?

The 1983 arcade game Mario Bros. teamed up Mario and Luigi, before the NES ever existed.

I guess you could count Mario Bros. But it is kinda ironic that Nintendo didn't return to Mario Co-op until over 15 years later.

Obviously

When you have to publicly say you're not doing something, that usually means you're doing it.

However what is "too many Mario games" to gamers isn't "too many Mario games" to Nintendo because they still sell. If they stopped selling then maybe they'd consider the fact that they might have made too many.

There aren't too many on the Ms systems, Sony systems......I could go on and on....

Either if you cant see I'm referring to on the 64 only.
Like they did with the originals.
Come on, you really don't get what I was saying?
I wanted SUPER MARIO BROS. 64.
Get it now?...........Sorry it's just that it seemed obvious to me that they held out on us.

even nintendo fanboys are getting sick of them. I believe I read that 2 of the most recent mario games actually sold very badly.

Talk about a double standard.

I want to rep you for this
