Game Vs. Game! This week: SA1 Vs. SA2

[daemoth]

Mario is Nintendo's play thing. You can't weigh him down with a 2D side-scrolling chain anymore. The way we play a Mario game has been reimagined multiple times for years now. Mario will always be there to show improvement and new functionality between Nintendo consoles and gaming experiences. Saying that something doesn't "feel" like a Mario game just makes you seem ignorant to the constant reinvention of Mario games themselves. You can favor a specific type of gameplay, but you shouldn't say that the 3D games are any less Mario.


As for the Game Vs. Game, I'm gonna have to say 64 just for pure memory sake. 

 Might i remind you the sale of the games? Innovation isnt what Mario need, they needed their entry game to be the kid friendly and easy to play for their new console.
Ill let the game theorist explain, @4:48:

Also, note that im speaking about when Mario 64 was released.
