Man, I love this game. I love it so much that I think about it all the time, and I get extra excited when I see people talking about it on Negative World..until I realize that they're talking about *NEW* Super Mario Bros. 2 on 3DS, and then I weep a little on the inside.
And a lot on the outside.
Anyway, I traced my childhood one day and I realized that this may be THE one game that got me so into Nintendo; Patient Zero perhaps? So, if this is my favorite Mario game, and TheOldManFromZelda's favorite Mario game, and Shiggy's favorite Mario game....when are we going to see some more Subcon? You're telling me Luigi is going back to another haunted mansion (or mansions), but Mario hasn't had a dream since the 80's?
Pidgit, please.
I miss the
Shy Guys and the
Birdos and
Pokeys and Ninjis where they belong (and where is Beezo or Triclyde?! And freakin' MOUSER!? AND WART!!!), lets see another game, Nintendo?!
