<em>So I just played Super Mario 3D World, and let me tell you, it is not fun. The Hardcore seem to love 3D open world punch-and-kick mario, none of that is even in the game. Everyone else loves classic mario, it&#8217;s nothing like that either, despite how flat-looking they try to make it, and with all the nostalgia pandering. The game doesn&#8217;t even manage to be as fun as NSMBU which is admittedly a bland upgrade to NSMB Wii. This could be one of the worst selling mario games yet. I have a feeling Nintendo will completely mess up mario kart and smash bros too.</em><br />
<em>Also, as a member of Club Nintendo I get emailed surveys. Just the standard questions except what really made me laugh was one of the questions in this recent one which practically could have just said &#8220;What&#8217;s so good about 2D mario anyway? Tell us below&#8221;</em><br />
<em>And now they&#8217;re selling a &#8220;Mega mario pack&#8221; with both the 2D mario games on wii u and with 3D World tacked on in the UK at 299</em></p>
<p>_______________________________________</p>
<p>Sales so far seem to be saying that 3d World isn&#8217;t that hot. I&#8217;m curious what North America sales are for 3d World. 3d Mario always sells best there.</p>
