I've been bored with 3D games for ages. Hell, even today 2D games are 3D in origin. It doesn't mean I don't enjoy some 3D games, but just look at how big retro gaming is today. 99.9% of the time a 2D game is more fun. The only Nintendo game to break this mold has been Wario Land: Shake It. The game sucked. It had great potential. If Nintendo had just created a great game in the mold of the original Wario Land in that amazing hand-drawn style the game would have been a hit. There was nothing entertaining or challenging about the game. Instead they played on the new control scheme, thinking shaking the remote like you would a juice bottle before you drank it would be something fun. Every level was the same. Meh.

Now. Do something in a similar 2D hand-drawn style to Mario, and make it a full-on classic style Mario game... you get this:



And it's made of awesome.
