GD: "There have been pockets of controversy and argumentative discussion over the last couple days between myself and a number of friends, family, and colleagues. Pretty much every discussion has been about the final announcement and confirmation of Nintendo's 'help' feature, and its inclusion in New Super Mario Bros. Wii."
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?
Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.
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

Super Mario U is a great one that reminds me alot of Super Mario World on snes. When ran in 4k@60fps on pc, it's hard not to love it.

Well if Little Big Planet went 3d with Dreams then I guess marios going 3D maker next, looking forward to that
I think going forward it would be redundant to have another NSMB game on the Switch as the Mario Maker series can accomplish almost anything the NSMB series have level-wise.
I’d rather have a Zelda Maker. The dungeon builder on the new upcoming Zelda: Links Awakening looks like a testing ground.

Aonuma hinted at the possibility of Chamber Dungeons evolving into a Zelda Maker game in an interview with Kotaku during E3. Reporter Jason Schreier asked Aonuma directly if a Zelda Maker was in the cards, to which Aonuma replied:
“I can’t predict the future, but if people do love this idea of arranging dungeons, I’ll keep that in mind going forward.”
Why can't they just make it a demo mode. It shows you the correct way to do it, then you repeat it. Monkey see monkey do. Then at least you still have to play the game.
Don't really understand why this "help" feature would bother anyone if it isn't a mandatory part of the game. I do agree with it being a positive element though. Chances are pretty good that they will amp up game difficulty if they have an in-game walkthrough that can just simply show you how to beat the game.
It's "handing the game over to your game savy older brother" for those who don't have a game savy older brother. Oh no!
My fellow older brothers, we must not let this help feature allow our younger siblings to get better than us. Us older brothers would have less purpose for life. Just make sure your little brother doesn't use the help function or you'll be sorry.
i think this is awesome! i'd prefer a in-game guide, but this can be really nice for casual or non masochist players, that after like, 20 tries, can't kill a boss, or jump from one platform to another because of weird camera angles =) really cool feature imo
