Miyamoto: No new suits in SMG2!?

Source

So what I currently understand is this:
SMG2 will not focus on much of a story. Mario will have no new special suits, just power ups for Yoshi, but it will include a bunch of new maps.

What? :?

The game originally was to be only a combination of left over levels, but now the game is only 10% leftover and 90% new content. Also Mario games never rly had a story to begin with. Its just...save the damsel in distress. Nintendo wont pull a stupid with a Mario game i promise you.

I gotta say I am actually looking forward to this one. Maybe there will be some other secrets, like maybe you can play as Rosalina at the end or something lol.

Well then I hope they use old suits. Raccoon suit, please.OreoMilkshake

I love the Bee suit! Its fine with me...I didn't care for the boo suit...I liked the spring suit...I didnt care for the fire suit because of the time limit...I liked the ice suit... It would be cool to have a frog suit! it would work well.

On the other hand, New Super Mario Bros. Wii will have some new suits, in addition to several more recent suits that appeared in NSMB DS.

Ironically, the raccoon suit might not work well in that game either, since the camera moves with you when you fly, and that just can't happen with other people on the screen. However, the screen could zoom out...

that's a little disappointing that there will be no new suits... but with yoshi and power ups im still pretty excited for SMG2!

Really, that's not so much of a loss since the suits, especially the Boo suit and the Red Star (heh, communism), turned out to be fairly underutilized, so I suspect they are trying to focus on integrating those suits better as opposed to creating a bunch of new suits that are only going to be useful for 2 missions.

Not a problem as long as some old ones return thats fine by me.

I don't see much of an issue. More of the best game this gen, improved, is nothing to be disappointed in. Maybe the flying powerup in SMG can be more fleshed out, which would be nothing short of awesome.

Well...Mario kinda has a backstory, but Nintendo didn't flesh it out much and probably won't.

The new power-ups will affect Yoshi, not Mario, so I am definitely not disappointed.

... that is why I got confussed... The pinguin suit is from New SMB, right?

This is sad, i was hopping (since Super Mario World i think :P ) a glorius return of Racoon Suit and Tanoki Suit, oh well, the game would be awesome for sure.

mariogalaxy 2 looks good ,

As long as the game is still amazing, I'm satisfied.

Yoshi's still getting power ups so this doesn't bother me that much.

But I wanted to see Boo Mario back D:

what are you talking about, "story"? the article only says "this time yoshi will get new powerups, not mario" and that's it. not surprising, and i dont mind.

BTW the article said "no NEW suits". that means old suits will probably still be there.

There were a lot of suits in the first Galaxy, so I'm not really suprised they aren't adding anything new. Plus, it looks like (from the trailer) Yoshi will play a big part in keeping the game feeling less like an expansion pack of the original and more like a true sequel.

Still VERY excited for this!

This doesn't slow down my hype at all. We still hardly know anything about the game, so we won't know for sure until we start getting the details.

Well first off, what do we need a story in a non-rpg Mario game for? A full fledged story in a Mario game would just be dumb, I mean the story book segments in Galaxy were really pointless and annoying at an attempt at a decent Mario story, Mario's about the platforming. As for the suits, what do we need new suits for when you got Yoshi and all his abilities?:D

The Ice Suit was the best, so it doesn't matter to me. Mario ice skating=awesome. Begs for a Mario Hockey game.

Yoshi is in this game? I had no idea.

Nintendo might as well take my money now. I will wait outside Gamestop on the night before it is released.

Well, maybe I won't wait over night. I do want the game though.
