Follow on Google News | 2D Mario via 3D Mario on Nintendo 3DSNew battle between 2D Mario via 3D Mario will begin on Nintendo 3DS
By: Pandamimi Nintendo has been releasing two general lines of Mario games over the past generation: 3D games along the lines of Super Mario Galaxy and 2D games along the lines of New Super Mario Bros. Till now, the latter type sells far better, see the following sales statistics: Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 combined total sales: New Super Mario Wii total sales: 15.5 million New Super Mario DS total sales: 22.4 million Can this mean that players like Mario best when his world is flat and prefer running from left to right? Now let us analyze general merits and demerits of 3D (the current polygon-based 3D). 3D visuals give players a greater sense of being part of the action and give more freedom and choice. But in another hand, it has the demerits as they appear too complex. Some players say that” appear too complex” is not the only reason that 3D games aren't as popular. They add that Galaxy are "strange"; and "confusing"; chaotic, unreliable, and don't make any sense. Turning to 3DS, during a Q&A session at Nintendo's earnings briefing, Miyamoto said Nintendo also will make both 3D and 2D games on 3DS since they both have their own appeal. He outlined how the 3DS's 3D display effects could help both types of Mario. For the 3D type of Mario game -- and this includes Zelda, he said -- it can be difficult to perceive depth, for example if you multiple floors stacked up on top of one another. However, if you have a similar situation on the 3DS with the 3D effect turned on, you can more clearly see what's closer to you. The 3DS's 3D effect also"gives a great feeling of existence to Mario, Link and others,"said Miyamoto. He feels that this is important for his games, as they're made with character "weight" in mind -- that is, making the player feel like the character has weight in its movement. For 2D Mario games, Miyamoto pointed out that we already see depth-based effects in many of the games. For example, a Wiggler (Hana-chan in Japanese) or Bullet Bill (Killer in Japanese) 2D Mario via 3D Mario, this time is on 3DS, which is real appeal to players. Can 3D turn over the situation to beat 2D this time? Let us look forward to.
