1st party wise you'll have to look at E-shop for new IPs, Pushmo is awesome.

Sounds awesome. Misleading thread title though, and not the first from you either.

At their investors meeting, Nintendo announced that a new 2D sidescrolling Mario game would be coming to the 3DS in the fiscal year 2012-13.

They really are going all out, aren't they?

I hope that you can do 4 player multiplayer like on the wii. It's so fun to kill your friends while playing it :P

All out as in........taking an already designed game and releasing a map pack for 3DS? Hardly all out, sorry. This is coming from a huge Nintendo fan. I like 3DLand, but there is still yet to be a killer app imo. Mario Kart, perhaps, but one that defines the console, nope? I hope the original zelda title is not a disappointment.

Hey I remember you hyping UC3 in your 2011 sig!

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] 2D sidescrolling Mario game. Has to be NSMB.charizard1605

...No, it really doesn't.

That's a likely outcome, but you're treating it as fact when there's zero confirmation.

I believe the word you're looking for there is "biennialized".

Mario Is a mascot. Not every Mario game is a Sequel, it's not like Zelda.

Let's do some math: 2007 Nov 16 (UC1) -- 2012 Feb 22 (GA).

That's actually 4 years and 3 months apart, 4 games.Calendar year wise it's 6 years.

You seriously need to double check your arguments.

I'm bored already

NSMB on the ds was about as basic and barebones as mario games get, while the wii version actually felt like it had substance to it.

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="HarlockJC"] In this case Nintendo wants to make their fans happy...The fans want Mario 2d games. Nintendo giving us what we want. HarlockJC

Now how's that different from Call of Duty or Madden?

In terms of the company's motivations, I mean.

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] I just copied GAF's thread title for this one. In any case, new 2D Mario Game Announced for 3DS... I mean, if you want, I *could* change it to that...Shinobishyguy

[QUOTE="HarlockJC"][QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] So because it's Nintendo they get to have warmhearted, non-profit-focused intentions? They want to make money.Cherokee_Jack

Entirely new levels and generally more effort put in the sequels of normal franchises than sports games.

Mario is actually fun to play.

Yearly release with little updates. In CoD's case, Activision just keeps packing more crap into each box. Mario actually gives us hours and hours of new content, and isn't a yearly release of the same game.

I knew someone would say that.

Activision and EA are obviously giving the fans what they want because they buy the games every time. So again, what is the difference in motivation?

This is great news as long as it's NOT NSMB

i want another actual 2D mario game with 2D sprites, not 3D polygons in a sidescroller

i'd love to see some amazing and crisply drawn 2D sprites and backgrounds and put that **** in amazing eye popping 3D

super mario world 2 anyone? (or 3 if you really consider yoshi's island as SMW2)

It better rack up the difficulty, have entirely different world/level designs, interesting power-ups and use some of the 3DS' features as well.

This is complete bull**** SW has double standards for rehashes. Nintendo is sacred I see is resistant to being repetitive.rasengan2552

Oh, god. I made a similar post like this two-three years ago. Each Mario game (and I'm talking about platformers here) has VERY different gameplay. The only thing that is "milked" or rehashed is the name.

I'd rather a SM3DL 2, but this ok. Actually I'm interested if they're gonna make some like DK Returns for 3DS. That would be awesome.

Hoping it has the quality like SMW and SMB3 did.

Nintendo releasing more mario? Who would have thought. Mario will become the new COD soon enough.

Oh boy, that's original. It's not like seeing a 2D Metroid would be great or anything. But no, we get to get another Mario, same levels, yawn. Boring as f*ck. Count me excited. Keep pushing the boundaries there, Nintendo. :roll:

Sounds good to me! And lol @ the inevitable rehash comments.

As long as the games keep feeling different while still offering solid platforming mechanics and expert level designs I'll keep playing them. Hate away suckers!

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"] I don't think so. Mario platformers would have to be thrown out yearly.93BlackHawk93

I'd expect a company with such apparent talent and creativity would utilize it better instead of putting it into a handful of franchises over and over and playing it safe. As much as I like Mario (and to a lesser extent Zelda), I'm getting a bit tired of them. Nintendo needs to take risks.

Most new Ips are not seen and don't succeed. That's why they don't make them.

Geez, if only Nintendo would stop making good games. Then people would have something to complain about.. I mean sure, there's a lot of the same characters, but the basic thing is, THEY'RE (USUALLY) REALLY GOOD GAMES.
