I always felt that Mario used to introduce new concepts in platform gaming.
There is no denying that Super Mario Bros. 3 introduced some pretty awesome ideas to the platform gaming environment, and from there we had Super Mario World, with introducing Yoshis and other awesome gameplay ideas.
Super Mario 64? I mean the list goes on with introducing new ideas that are exciting and fresh - the problem is that the gaming market has hit a sort of sudden brick wall where it doesn't know what to do any more and the ideas are running fairly dry. 3D is here in full force, HD is now old hat, 3D was a pile of shit, and all that's left is to use the console's gimmick to introduce new ways of playing. Touch screens are the newest fad in gaming, which is why I feel the Wii U might bring something new - like the Wii did for the Galaxy series. Whether that happens or not, we'll see.
But yeah, the NSMB series is just stale and repeated. Nothing new about it, it's just the same game multiple times with minor changes.
