Nintendo needs a mario game that shows off the gamepad the way that mario 64 showed of the n64 controller. Not saying that this one doesn't but it needs to be something unique aswell and it needed to be near launch as well. Nintendo should've been thinking about that mario game 2-3 years ago along side wii u Development. To see this was really disapointing but I'll still reserve judgement until I finally play it. It just didn't have the wow factor of when they showed of mario 64 and the galaxy games. People thought nintendo were working on the top secret megaton mario game and nintendo  showed this instead. At this point it seems like nintendo has no idea to make use of the second screen.

Atleast Mario kart looks good.

to use the touchscreen in someway

Multiple characters

vs mode - one person used gamepad while other plays on tv

level creator

that's all I can think of at the moment

I think nintendo really needs to make a mario game that really sells the controller. At this point we know the graphics will be great because what they did with mario galaxy on the wii all they really need to do is make the gameplay good/show off the controller.

some ideas

Co-op mode, one person uses gamepad while other can use pro controller, wiimote

online co-op(upto 4 players if possible)

multiplayer mode with all the char from mario universe (waluigi, peach/daisy, wario, boo, dk)

create a level

hub world would be somewhere on earth like the castle or something else, a cannon somewhere in the hubworld can launch mario into space

mix of space/normal levels

- a place in the castle were user created levels can be stored, plus those downloaded from other players. would be like a long hallway or something.

more weapons, a co-op option perhaps?

would be cool to have a manhunt multiplayer were the last guy who is not a zombie wins.

GTA 4 (pigeons)

MGS 4(big boss extreme ftw)

Just too hard for me.

Can't think of that many games that I've liked this gen to even platinum.

fix the online, add more modes (things like king of the hill or elimination, a 20 man elimation online mode would be sick)

mii support (with the abilty to custimize your char)

an adventure mode where you unlock more things to custimze your mii with.

spectator mode, and a mode were the spectator can change the rules of the match and drag and drop items to the battle field.

With graphics not being able to wow the majority of players this time will next gen become the war of console features?

Wii-U - touchscreen, miiverse, 

ps4 - touchpad, remote play, streaming demo's, move .etc

durango - live, possible BC, kinect 2.0 , ???

unless the complete power of ps4 will not be realized a couple of years after launch then it seems like the distguishing features are gonna be the features themselves rather then just graphical power.

Ill be honest in that the ps4 graphic demo's did not impress me but all the features they showed really did. If they end up having all those features in the ps4 then I'll probably end up buying it. 

I don't think they will ever be able to top mario 64 so I don't mind a remake as long as they add some new stuff to it. I think exploring the castle with another player would be really cool.  Perhaps in galaxy 3 they can have a mix of galaxy and more open world levels.

Anyone else think nintendo should bring this franchise to the wii U? Nintendo is really missing a title that makes full use of the wii u controller and it looks like giest could really have some unique ideas for the controller. Also could be a unique multiplayer shooter that could attract more people to the wii u.

Would love a sequel but don't think it's possible to top that game. At this point I would settle for a remake of the original but with added levels and characters similar to the ds version.

Co-op Mario and luigi mode?

cannon outside of castle shoots mario into space where you can play galaxy like levels.

Toad, Yoshi, Walugi, Peach,Wario, Dk (all playable) DLC

customizable levels ( add rooms to the castle and use wii u pad to paint and create your own levels,)

multiplayer
