I as well. Although I did not think SM64 was bad, even it was one of my faves, and SMS probably will be good, but 2D are better, and right now, I could come up with alot of Mario games, and I'm sick of wasting my money on a game I already have. The only good remakes were SMBDX, and SMA was good cause they actually changed the game, but Nintendo's going too far: Remaking all the Mario games and adding the same mini-game, MB, Over, and over, and over, and over, and over, and...well you get the drill! Now if Nintendo came to this board, we could probably have tons of good new 2D Mario games that will sell greatly. I mean, here in Canada, all these **** remakes are over $50, and that is a RIP OFF! If they were 10 bucks, I could understand. I mean, I feel like a mule getting these remakes. I realize that I have more fun with other peoples's games like Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, Mega Man Battle Network, and Golden Sun, than with my Mario remakes.
SMA was Ok. I liked it. It would've been nice to see some new levels, but I loved the improved gameplay, and voices and stuff.
But I'm definately not getting YI: SMA3, because SMA2 wasn't too appealing. When I first got GBA, I chose SMA cause I'm a Mario fan, and when I did, I liked it, despite its easier gameplay. And mostly, I loved MB. I miss the days where I played again and again, trying to beat my scores. Those were the days.
Well, now I've gotten to Phase 99, and I have beaten all the 2D Mario Platforms, and now we need a new game. Wario Land 4 was good CAUSE IT WAS NEW! And I'll most likely get G&W4, because those games kick ass!
Thank you for hearing my thoughts!
