GameZone's David Sanchez writes: "Nintendo has done great things with the Mario franchise, but as of late, it seems to be losing its luster. That magic that first propelled the iconic platforming series is now but a faint light bulb, barely surviving on the success that every cash-in so unremorsefully chugs along by. There's nothing novel about Mario anymore, and it's a shame."

My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder delivers record-breaking sales after over 10 million players ride the inchworm. The plumber and the pipe make history.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it
Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?
This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.
Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3
I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game
I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh
Nintendo needs to add some new flavor to that old fashioned gameplay of the plumber
Numbers say otherwise. He's still popular. But, the premise of the article is absolutely true for hardcore gamers.
So, the real question is: Does Mario even NEED the hardcore crowd to make Nintendo money? It can't hurt.
Either add something more appealing or let the plumber rest for a while. This goes for those New Super Mario Bros. games and was not intended towards the 3D games.
i guess that mario finally worked out that the princess was doing bowser
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee en lost his awesomeness. Snes was the last time i liked mario.
although New super mario bros was pretty good
