I have a huge Mario gap in my gaming history because I ended up going: nes > Sega Genesis > ps1 > ps2 > ps3/wii > PC gaming (where I am today) there's a lot I missed from Nintendo over the years but I recently played through this game and I personally loved how original and new/fresh it felt. Definitely reminded me of how i felt about Mario 3 on nes when I first played it.

What say you? Did you enjoy it? Want to see this become a new series in the Mario saga?

I think if I was playing alone I would like it more. The co-op design, particularly online, is not that great.

Of course they’re going to make more.

I agree that couch coop is still a bit rough (until they fix the "camera only follows leader"), but i had a blast with the online multiplayer

Online multiplayer is basically single player while you watch your friends play in the background. If they die nearby, you might be able help them, but if they get stuck on a particularly arduous platforming sequence, you quickly leave them behind and can’t really lend a hand in any way. The Mickey game was nice in that the camera would zoom out to accommodate other players, let you drop a rope for friends to climb, and you could share health. I think that was a very solid implementation of co-op for comparison - even though the genre of game is a bit different.
