this game doesn't push it's 3D gimmick as much as other Mario games pushed their own respective gimmicks, like galaxy pushed it's aspect of platforming in space and sunshine pushed it's aspect of F.L,U.D.D. It is going to sadden me that it didn't go the length to push the 3D illusions aspect of the game as much as the other games, but something tells me i will still enjoy it, and i will wait for the next Mario game to do what this didn't
I loved FLUDD. If i had to choose, I'd say i prefer the 3-dimensional games over the smw style ones. This will be an interesting mix, base don the trailers I've seen.
