"Nintendo hopes this will end 2d Mario."
heheheheheeehehehehehheheheeehehhheheeehheheheeeheheeh
I mean, that was said with the context of New Mario 2 and New Mario U being made at the same time for some reason. I agree that by all logic 3D World and Mario Maker SHOULD spell the end for New Super Mario Bros.--one is a natural evolution of SMB and the other is essentially all the SMB that you could ever want, and now would be an opportune time to just put it on hiatus again and really try doing new things with Mario, but that is never ever ever ever ever ever going to happen because at this point New Super Mario Bros. is like Nintendo's cup of coffee, a routine grind. If Nintendo hopes anything about 2D Mario it's that you won't notice that they aren't changing much and that you aren't tired of the Koopalings
