New Super Mario Bros. 2

[StarSock64]

Even if the gameplay's pretty good, if it doesn't have any personality then I'm not having fun. Especially if the gameplay isn't particularly new or exciting.

There's plenty of other run and jump games to choose from that are actually interesting. I keep skipping out on Nintendo products lately because they just look boring and generic. I mean Nintendo has its own brand of personality, I guess, but they don't seem to be doing anything with it lately. It's like the most bare-bones version of Nintendo possible, with none of its usual charming details.

I dunno if I'm being too harsh because, y'know, I keep skipping out on Nintendo products lately, so I haven't played them all. And yes, there have been recent exceptions. But with NSMB specifically, the first one was dull and lifeless, so I'd rather not waste my time on a sequel.
