I think I agree with Koopaul here, obviously there's a point when sequels can become too much but -one- sequel isn't a big deal unless it's done poorly (yes, I know people will endlessly beg for sequels after the first, but until it reaches that point where its luster is faded then what's it matter, you don't have to buy it). Sometimes it's a shame when gameplay types or ideas only last for a single game.
edit: oh but the sales argument going on here is fine, yeah. I think the game itself would be fine for a sequel but if it really didn't get sales then it probably won't and that's fine. The sales and quality both matter, it has to be able to keep both up to get sequels. I don't know how LM did in sales, if it really did do crappy then that's just the way it goes. I was basically focusing on the idea that good games don't need sequels. I guess they don't but it'd be nice unless they overdo it. Especially with the amount of time that has past since the first LM, another wouldn't be a bad idea if it could sell.
I wouldn't mind Luigi having his own games. Originally a 2P recolor or not, he's developed his own character and fanbase, and he's considered a more major character in the Mario series, so I think that's enough of a reason for him to get some games. Unless it's just a mario-formula game starring luigi, then that would probably be dumb unless they did something different with it. I'm not particularly rooting for it, though, I'm fine with his current roles. I just see why people would want "that poor underdog in his brother's shadow" to get some recognition. He has a bit of charm to him. They want him to get out of his filler status because they see potential.
