Would you like a Super Mario 64 2 for the Wii U?

As in a true sequel to Super Mario 64?

I sure would.

No, I rather have a Galaxy 3 or something new than another Mario 64. I'm not even sure what a Mario 64 2 would be except for just a bunch of big maps to dump you in, which I don't really consider as a fun concept.

Absolutely not. Mario 64 was a terrible direction for the series IMO. The 2D marios and the Galaxy games do it right

I think the Galaxy games are actually a step backwards and more limited. There is not even a real hub world in SMG 2. I'll agree the 2D games were the best but platformers have evolved since then.

I prefer Galaxy 3 for WiiU and Mario 64 2 for 3ds

We already have Mario 64 DS, we don't need anymore Mario 64. I really don't even think we need anymore Galaxy

I liked the more open world feel of Mario 64. Galaxy 1 and 2 were fun, but didn't really feel like there was much to explore. However, I would probably buy and play either one. I would like something new, but I don't know where they would go.

IMO platformers are best when they are straight forward and well designed point A to point B obstacle coarses where challenge is derived from making it to the end alive with sheer platforming skill rather than figuring out what to do in a loosely designed open world.

The only 3D platformers that did it the way I liked it were Rayman 2, and the Galaxy games

To be fair, We have not played any of the Galaxies yet... But we will once we get a WiiU..

That being said, I love Super Mario 64. I would love another Mario game in its Vein. That would be fantastic. Why couldn't they do both a Galaxy 3 (U) and that other Mario "64 like" project...

I would prefer something original. Different from Mario 64, Galaxy and all other Mario games.

The whole idea behind SM64 is exploringa 3D world for the first time ever, a sequel wouldn't be that good

If you are asking if I want the next 3D Mario to be 64-bit on an HD platform, not really. But a game in the same vein as Super Mario 64, without any gimmicks like F.L.U.D.D. or gravitational pulls, then yes, that would be cool. I like Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy a lot, maybe more than SM64, but I'd like them to just do a standard Mario adventure in 3D again. Although, that's what the new 3DS game looks like. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

How about something original?

Define 'standard'. Has the fandom really reached such a point where there should be a 'standard' to how Mario games should be made and played in a certain restricted format, then only we can enjoy it? Is Mario 64 the only 'normal' game while the rest of them are just deviants that can't be considered 'true' Mario games?

I don't know, but I'd rather Mario games be unique and varied than everything following a similar, formulaic 'standard' until I get sick of it.

haha oh thts a coincidence:P Im aware tht there is multiple ways to use the word, but I cannot agree with the notion that gameplay mechanics are gimmicks.(thts right, im different what u gonna do? 8) )Every game has a theme tht designers mold their gameplay around. My ideal definition of a gimmick is something that doesn't add tht much to the experience. It could be a good thing or a bad thing, but because its not tht important it doesn't motivate the theme of the game. If SMG didn't have all tht physics mumbo jumbo in the game then it would be a completely different game. thts how i see it anyway.

"...without anygimmickslike F.L.U.D.D. or gravitational pulls..." To me it seems as if he's implying tht those gameplay mechanics are bad & should be removed which is why I am making the assumption tht he's using it as a negative term. hope tht makes sense as to why im taking it the bad way

No, but I certainly want 3D platformers in the same vein back. I need something like Banjo back, or at least bring Rayman 4 :( They should keep doing their own thing with Mario meanwhile.

The Mario Galaxy games were boring because I had to go where the game made me. It makes replaying levels very boring, and they aren't even too much fun the first time. I would be much happier to see a Mario 64 type game.

i honestly dont even care

Mario for the 3DS looks like it could be the best mario game ever made. I combines the elements from the 2 best mario games (Galaxy and SMB3)

so i cant even start thinking about a WiiU mario before the release of Mario3DS

No, I rather have a Galaxy 3 or something new than another Mario 64. I'm not even sure what a Mario 64 2 would be except for just a bunch of big maps to dump you in, which I don't really consider as a fun concept.

No, I'm definitely not. I greatly preferred the Galaxy games' linear design, because they played like old school platformers. You can throw in multiple paths, but platformers should be about actual platforming, levels, and providing a challenge to finish. Give those big maps and needless hub worlds to franchises like Banjo, because I don't believe dumping the player in the middle of nowhere and collecting coins are fun.

The only way I'd take a Super Mario 64 sequel is if it had the castle setting, but played like Galaxy.

I don't see how the Galaxy games are a step back. Actually, that doesn't even make sense to me.

First of all, the controls in Galaxy are so much better to the point where Mario 64's controls actually feel slightly janky now.

Secondly, the level designs in Galaxy and much more creative and clever. Sure, they are much more linear, but they have far more imagination and variety whereas Mario 64's levels feel bigger, but more basic. Mario 64 really does feel like a first foray into 3D where they couldn't really get all that creative because they were trying to make it all work on a 3D plain. Galaxy feels like Nintendo has fully mastered the 3D gamespace and can be as creative as they want.

I'd rather have Mario Galaxy 3, but I would not say no to Mario 64 2.

Nah, I want an entirely new Mario game for the Wii U. No Super Mario 64 2 or SMG 3.

Nah, they need to leave Super Mario 64 alone now.

Well they have Super Mario Bros.

Super Mario World.

Super Mario Galaxy.

Makes sense the next will be Super Mario Universe!

I would rather have the big worlds of Mario 64 back. If Nintendo wants to do a linear Mario, then the company should just do a 2D Mario game. I actually want Nintendo to try different direction with the franchises that the company has. Mario Sunshine brought a completely new setting to Mario, and that is what made the game special. There was no fire world, ice world, or water world. I like the new creatures Sunshine had. Those guys that flipped you up in the air were cool. It would be cool if Nintendo put Mario in a completely different setting than what we are used to.

Sunshine and both Galaxy games were essentially Mario 64 2, 3, and 4. Didn't really enjoy any of them, I wish they'd just stick to side-scrolling Mario. New SMB Wii was the first Mario game I've enjoyed since Yoshi's Island.
