    Has anyone else noticed how Nintendo has been “remaking” the whole Super Mario series since 2006?

    Super Mario Bros 1-3 (1985-1988) -> New SMB 1-4 (2006-2012)
    Super Mario Land 1-3 (1989-1994) -> Super Mario 3D Land (2011)
    Super Mario World 1-2 (1990-1995) -> Super Mario 3D World (2013)
    Super Mario 64 (1996) -> Super Mario Galaxy 1-2 (2007-2010)
    Super Mario Sunshine (2002) -> ???

      Editing … All Nintendo do is remake and rehash. I'm amazed people keep paying for the same shit.

      Editing … No, you're just drawing very loosely and arbitrarily defined and correlations based on the names of those series of titles.

      Editing … Super Mario 3D Land has very few resemblances with the Super Mario Land games and the same goes with 3D World. And I wouldn't call Galaxy a remake of 64 since they have different takes on the 3D Platformer genre.

      Editing … NSMB is obviously a throwback the NES games. But I don't see much similarity with Galaxy vs. 64, or 3D World vs. World. If anything, Sunshine had more in common with 64 than Galaxy, though it's obviously not a "remake" either, to anyone with even half a brain.

      Editing … well at least the whole thing made sense in my head for about a minute, so there's that. ha. maybe I should've used a different phrase like "revisited", "paid homage to" or sth like that.

      Editing … Gries, I fully understood what you were saying. Looking at your list, it was immediately clear you weren't actually claiming that Nintendo makes the exact same games over and over again.

      Editing … Some say 3D Land is a spiritual successor to SMB3. (return of tanooki suit)
