Do grasshoppers fap with their feet?

It's obvious they'll be a new mainline Mario game. There is one on every Nintendo console.

Not at launch there isn’t.

 

[Dacvak]

Galaxy 3 would be a dream come true. Those games still look absolutely gorgeous, and that’s on the freaking Wii.

I truly have no idea what kind of Mario game Nintendo has in store for us. I feel like they’ve gotta be running out of core-gameplay gimmicks at this point (like the hat toss in Odyssey, or the gravity in Galaxy, or FLUDD).

I’d be thrilled if they went back to the roots and made a new Mario 64-like game where you have to explore a new version of Peach’s castle, or something similar. I really miss exploring all of the nooks and crannies in an enclosed space like that.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

It should be a Nintendo fandom take on Astrobot.

 

[lame gag1990]

New Nintendo hardware so Nintendo will Nintendo and release Mario 64 through shoddy Nintendo emulation at 720p.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Uh you need to add a Mario 64 sequel in the poll and that is not only my choice but its also what I think Nintendo will finally give us.

 

[Zannegan]

I wouldn't want a whole game to be based around it, but the multiplayer mods/hacks of Odyssey showed the potential for multiplayer modes like hide and seek, capture the flag, treasure hunt, etc. The Odyssey moveset is the most versitile and breakable a 3D Mario has ever had.

So, an Odyssey 2 that maintains the Cappy powers seems like a good next move for enabling that.

 

[IDKFA]

Correct, but there will be one of the new console.

 

[poppabk]

Galaxy sequel. The originals aren't really as accessible as they should be.

 

[Codes 208]

Why does it need to be a sequel? I want the next spiritual successor

 

[simpatico]

Nintendo is one of the few developers I trust to tell me what I want. Kojima, From, there aren't many others. But I trust the Big N.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Something like Astrobot

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

None of those, it should be Super Mario 128 (follow up to 64).

 

[Trilobit]

None of those, it should be Super Mario 128 (follow up to 64).

You know what, I agree with you. I first hoped for something as creatively explosive as the Galaxy games as I was quite disappointed in Odyssey. But we haven't really gotten any 3D Mario game on the level of 64 after it. I hope that the advanced controls make a comeback.

 

[EverydayBeast]

It really should be a Mario 64 sequel, it’s just a great game and text book Mario. Sequels are always an option for Nintendo and I give them credit for figuring out something new.

Absolutely. I still enjoy later offerings like Galaxy, but Mario 64 is my absolute favorite 3D Mario experience. The primary reason being how tight and wonderful the controls are and the focus on platforming at expense of logic (ie areas don't inherently need to make "sense"), akin to say the "secret" stages in Sunshine that offer no FLUDD. I also really like Sunshine, but the Fludd is a mixed bag for me (does open new opportunities, but simultaneously makes some situations too easy).

I don't need a "cohesive" world, I need extreme Mario platforming action.

 

[Ceadeus]

3D world 2 or Odyssey 2 would be good bet.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

Sunshine sequel

 

[TintoConCasera]

No gimmicks, just good platforming and level design.

 

[tomato shrub]

New concept for new hardware, as always. I'm always flabbergasted when people want a standard Mario sequel when a new generation comes. WiiU had many problems and one was that the flagship Mario platformers were safe sequels with little innovation.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

None of those, it should be Super Mario 128 (follow up to 64).

That's gonna end up as a BR Mario game.

 

[sigmaZ]

Galaxy Odyssey hybrid

Moveset of Odyssey, level design of Galaxy

OK to have bigger worlds but less of a focus on dumb moon collecting

The collecting in Odessey was a big let down. 64 nailed the star collecting. Tying the stars to clues and specific challenges.

 

[MagnesD3]

I would love a 64 sequel but its just never gonna happen. Id be greatful for a remake that fixed the camera and added new levels.

 

[Ainem Enamas]

OPEN WORLD 3D MARIO

 

[NyogoZ]

A fully explorable Mushroom Kingdom. It's only been possible in the RPG's so far

 

[rogr rogr]

I voted for Odyssey sequel, but it's time for a Super Mario World sequel and all the improvements and crazy stuff it would bring to the flying cape power-up.

We need Caped Mario back!

 

[EruditeHobo]

Modern cape would be interesting... wonder how they'd do that. Could only be in an open world, probably.

Love the cape.
