My original comment did not do this trailer justice so I edited it to be more appropriate: Cool.
Super Mario 3D Land
Game » consists of 7 releases. Released Nov 03, 2011
Super Mario 3D Land blends elements of 2D and 3D Mario platformers, making it distinct from both parts of the franchise.
E3 2011: Super Mario Trailer
@csoup: Haha indeed. My spirits have been raised significantly in the past day, in regards to my 3DS which had mostly been functioning as an expensive pedometer. Hah. But now... now I finally have some games on it worth playing (okay okay, I admit to not giving all the launch titles a fair chance, will pick up some of em eventually), yay Nintendo eshop!
@Funger: I've generally noticed in most videos that Nintendo (and other companies) make, they generally tone down the movement and stuff if they are not trying to pass off the game as being super hectic. We shall see when the game is released, but I'm guessing that if you put the stick at full tilt, Mario will run just as fast as he has in the previous couple of games. Heres hoping anyways.
Finally! A Mario game without a stupid gimmick like a super soaker backpack or spherical levels! This looks like the 3D mario game I always wanted (was always a litttle disappointed with Mairo 64 back on the N64)
Another irresistible reason for me to get a 3DS...the remake of Snake Eater almost had me buying this, but now this new Mario game will definitely have me buying a 3DS this year.
Oh Nintendo. I complain about you milking your IPs and never doing anything new, never providing other games for your systems, and making me pay for nostalgia.
But then you show me a Tanooki suit and I cave like a motherfucker.
Be it in 2D or 3D this will be a 5Star game, sell very well and be loved and be one of a number of great Mario Titles.
Simple as that really. This will be one of the things to help drive 3DS Titles just as other Mario games have in the past for their respective platform.
Sad thing is, these and only a handful of other titles drive the hardware sales. To little games on Nintendo Platforms bar these do.
