I wouldn't be here if I didn't like Mario games now would I?
Now onto The New SMB.
I just don't like nor want the game.Is that illegal or something?
I shall explain why I'm not taking any chances.Lets take Mario Kart DS for example.I had highly anticipated that game and when I finally got it,it hardly sparked my interest.That's why I'm not taking any chances with this game.
Sooooo... since you were disappointed with one Mario Kart game, you're never going to take a chance on a Mario game again?
No, it's not illegal to not want a Mario game, it's just very surprising, considering the particular Mario game in question. If this was the "Do you like Mario Party 26" thread, nobody would be so shocked for you to say that you don't want to pick it up.
New Super Mario Bros. is a different case though. We haven't had a traditional-style SMB sidescroller in almost
FIFTEEN YEARS it's kind of a big deal to turn it down because you don't want to risk it. That's another thing, the Super Mario Bros. games are, you know, just a TINY bit well known for being decent.*
Your reaction to New Super Mario Bros. has me (and I imagine others on the board) kind of baffled. Is it maybe that you're losing interest in gaming in general? I'm not trying to rip on you, I just find your take on things a bit perplexing is all.
I'm not saying the game is perfect either, like I said earlier, there are a handful of minor details that I wish were changed, but it's still one of the best platformers I've gotten to play in a while. I'd daresay it's worth the risk. ;)
