>>152403719Hamburger guy here. Just came back to the thread after a while, and that wasn't me. Although I do support his point. And it wasn't a retarded analogy. Comparing getting really similar games to getting the same food every time is a good analogy. You only believe that I'm shit at arguing because you're so stuck in your own opinion that you won't accept anything that goes against it. I can call you some faggot 15 year old who hates Nintendo because he see thinks it's cool because /v/ does it, but that's a baseless statement. You resort to ad hominems as a substitute for arguments.
I do believe that it's alright in SOME circumstances for games to be similar to their predecessors. Yes, they should add a significant amount of new material to not be called rehashes. NSMB2 feels almost exactly like NSMB. NSMBWii felt like a different game entirely. However, that's the reason I bought NSMB2. I really enjoyed NSMB, and I wanted to feel the same enjoyment. Not a whole lot of the content in the game is "new". In fact, the game is more of an expansion than a sequel. You're playing through the same style of levels, more or less, but none of them are the same as NSMB. NSMB2 is basically NSMB with only new levels, a few new power-ups, a new coin-collecting goal tacked on, co-op, a new mode, and a lack of minigames. That's enough for me. Since it's one per console, I'm fine with that. It's just that the announcement of NSMB2 and NSMBU at the same time at E3 left a bad taste in everyone's mouths, along with the fact that both were being released in 2012. I'm sure that people enjoyed NSMB and NSMBWii as separate games, and that's how I'm going to enjoy NSMB2 and NSMBU. I enjoy 2D platformers. I enjoy Mario. It may be a little repetitive, but I'm getting something that I enjoy, and I'm okay with that.
