As the title suggests, I've made this thread to see which of the two New Super Mario Bros. titles you're looking forward to the most. So which one is it? 2? Or U?
Personally, I'd have to say 2. U looks good, and all, but it looks like absolutely nothing new with a whole lotta rehash of the past. It legit heavily reminds me of Super Mario World, and that's a game that goes back to the SNES days. That's not a good thing. While it's imperative to keep the core aspects of a series, simply re-using and polishing the old isn't going to do much in terms of making a series better. It's still going to be the same old thing with a shiny new coat. I may be wrong, as it may actually wind up being quite unique, even for Mario's standards, but the trailer and gameplay footage I've seen doesn't really suggest that'll be the case.
Now, as for 2... I think it looks freakin' brilliant. I've never seen coins used like they are in any Mario game. Lol, I know they aren't becoming revolutionary in terms of use, or anything, but just look at dem coins! They're everywhere! I think adding in the intense amount of coins to collect while completing levels is going to provide an interesting change of pace and definitely provide an addicting amount of replay value, which, face it, is one of the biggest things Mario needs. Mario isn't a series trying to change gaming. It's a series trying to do unique things specific to each game and provide hours upon hours of fun that's always worth coming back to again and again. 2 really looks like it's going to provide that for me. Can't say the same about U. Again, I may be wrong about that game, but I think I've been given plenty of reason to be doubtful about it.
