New Super Mario Bros. 2 ‘Isn’t The Usual Super Mario’ - Page 2

I think I generalized a bit too much on that last statement. I was refferring to other aspects of the Mario series, such as the sports games and what would have been NSMB.2 if these new features were not added. Obviously, the platformers have been totally unique in their own respect. I don't even think the harshest of critics could make Mario Sunshine, Galaxy, and Galaxy 2 similar even if they tried.

Trust me Virtue, some of them do try and say they are the same games. And some of these people I've argued with are CoD fanboys...

This game is very difficult to get a Game Over, because of too many coins, and after losing five lives in a row, the Invincibility Leaf which decreases the chance of rage quitting at this game.

Virtue I know what you mean, you're talking about the main series, right? Because THOSE games are all the same, except NSMB2. SMB, SMB2, SMB3, NSMB, and NSMBW are all basically the exact same story over and over again.

Yeah, that's exactly what I mean. The spin offs are the ones I'm calling the most attention to. Maybe I'm just not a fan of Mario in competitive sports, but new powers ups doesn't create a new experience for me. It's essentially the same game. The entire NSMB games were getting awfully close until they announced all of these new features. These aren't gimmicks, but significant upgrades to a game series that desperately needed it.

And Gotenks, no amount of logic can ever strike their brain. I would call myself a Nintendo fanboy at times, but I also know when a game needs improvement. Putting a gun and camo gear doesn't automatically qualify it for iconic status.

All the Super Mario and New Super Mario games were all good, different and interesting in their own way. But they all had the same story. I would keep the storyline if I were you. That's what we like about Mario games. I know it's getting boring that Peach gets kidnapped, and go on a quest to save Peach. It's a lot better playing Mario games with though. They all had their positives and negatives, but in a way they are all the same. The storyline started off like that and it's still like that.
