Is there something wrong with me? When I say “like a Mario game”, I mean it looks so bland and childish and unremarkable. Am I wrong or stupid for not seeing the appeal of the Mario games in general? I don’t even hate Nintendo, when I was a kid i played every Zelda game and thought they were the shit, hell I even played the shitty star fox games. Mario just never, ever appealed to me, and to this day it just doesn’t look fun or exciting. Yet all of my friends are losing their shit over it. Am I just a sad broken man?

>watch some gameplay
Maybe you should play a game before judging it

nah, details like that don't really matter

I get where you're coming from. It's a good game but it's more of a pleasurable experience than a mind-blowing "holy shit this game is amazing!" type of deal. The way I see it you just don't see that type of game as exciting or worth a $300 system. A lot of people do though because with 3D Mario you know what you're getting and a lot of people just want that in spades.

the game is fun but its not as amazing as people are making it out to be.
most of the levels are pretty fucking bland. you would think they would be bigger and more dense because of the hardware its on compared to previous nintendo systems but nope.

im actually having more fun just doing the koopa races and improving my time than running around trying to get all the moons.

hey man if it's not for you, it's not for you

play the games you like on platforms that play them the best for you

for me mario games have always been my favorite games so this was a no-brainer purchase.

>just buy it you stupid gaijin

Different people can like different things, it is OK.

You tried

>is there something wrong with me?
Yes. Wipe yourself out. You are already dead.

>childish
You've let social media take over you, probably a long time ago and now there's no return. Enjoy piling in your consciousness to the global media mix in 30 years.

it's the nintendo cycle bud
>duude marios fucking epic
>omg its so good right
>repeat ad infinuim
and people think its the best game ever when its just mario: banjo kazooie edition

This is the first Super Mario game that I'm actually going to finish, and it's fun enough that I'm waiting for the virtual console to play past Mario games.

but i didn’t even like Mario when I was 4 user

yeah man what a terrible game lmaooo fuck lets play runescape my nig

That's perfectly fine. Though I'd suggest you try playing a 3d Mario if you have never played one, I felt the same as you until I played the Galaxy games and had a great time

>I don't like the franchise, how do I enjoy another game in the franchise?
You don't.

OKAY WE GET IT DON'T FUCKING PLAY THE GAME

except no one says that
but you have an endless stream of media and other drones parroting "muh mario:

It's not even the best game on the Switch, or even the best 3D Mario let alone best game of all time. It's easily understandable for someone to not care for the games.

All 3D platformers are bad. Platforming is a 2D genre.

Yes it's all mass hysteria, the games are secretly shit but only geniuses like you find out, congratulations, you passed.

I agree with you to an extent but frankly, what adult human with half a brain pays attention to media and especially "game journalism".

not fucking me.
