what do you think?
also i really hope nintendo would make a new super mario land to launch on the 3ds and maybe we will have a real 3d super mario
That’s… not what I mean. I mean a 3d Mario that doesn’t use the Mario 64 formula but uses the Super Mario World/ Super Mario Brothers 3 formula.
And there will be a 3d Mario for the 3DS. It is Iwata’s standing orders that a Nintendo console launch with a Mario game. I do know that there was a 3d Mario in development for the DS (Nintendo is obsessed over 3d Mario and just love making them. Meanwhile, it takes decades for them to make a new 2d Mario because they don’t like making them). Likely when 3DS hardware development was going on, they switched the new 3d Mario on DS to be on 3DS and to make use of the 3d output technology. That sounds like typical Nintendo. Nintendo wants to emulate the DS’s success so it would mirror launching as the DS did with Mario 64 DS.
I am joining the 2d Mario-or-bust crowd. No matter what is shown at E3 2010, I will not purchase a 3DS. I will only purchase a 3DS or any Nintendo console in the future only if it has 2d Mario on it. I bought a NES for 2d Mario. I bought a SNES for 2d Mario. I bought a Gameboy for 2d Mario. I bought a DS for 2d Mario. I bought a Wii for Virtual Console (which had 2d Mario). And I skipped N64 and Gamecube which had no 2d Mario. Before, Nintendo could claim ignorance as conventional wisdom stated that all games had to be in 3d in order to sell. But after the collossal sales of both NSMB DS and Mario 5, if Nintendo becomes stubborn and refuses to make more of such games, what is the point of buying the console? I am not interested in funding the vainglory of Nintendo developers. If they refuse to continue 2d Mario, it would be insane stupidity, and you can expect the console to crash and burn anyway.
Aside from a new 3d Mario on 3DS being announced, I expect Nintencats to be made as well. The reason why dogs in Nintedogs licked their paws was because the programmer was a cat person. With how much Nintendogs sold and pushed the DS, and with the Nintendo developers being cat people, it is probable that Nintencats would be the non-immersion Nintendo game for the 3DS.
But we are moving to the Eighth Generation. Nintencats can not be considered an ‘Expanded Audience’ game as Nintendogs could. The ‘Expanded Audience’ of the Seventh Generation is now part of the ‘Core Audience’. Will Nintendo be able to make a game for the new Expanded Audience at launch? I don’t think they’ll have anything like that ready for launch. Maybe next year. I think 3DS’s main goal right now is to retain the DS crowd as it launches and then focus the software and marketing on the new Expanded Audience. And what will this new Expanded Audience be? We’ll have to find out.
