Hey Nintendo, Jack here. Unabashed button-pusher and Nintendo fanman. Just a thought here, something a bit crazy. A little ditty for your developers and product managers to chew on in the coming year.

You see, the consumers have spoken about Super Mario Bros., and maybe the future of the franchise isn’t necessarily one that’s dominated by 3D.

In this day and age of making things more powerful and pushing polygons and GPU usage and telling engaging emotional stories, it’s crazy talk, I know, but “facts” and “sales numbers” and “what consumers really want” are annoying like that.
