While all of this will make for what fans can only assume will be a fun game (see our hands-on preview), there’s still a heavy desire for a new single-player focussed Super Mario title that’s reminiscent of Super Mario 64 or even Super Mario Sunshine. According to an interview between Gamekult and Super Mario 3D World’s producer, Yoshiaki Koizumi, the reasoning for straying away from the husky hero’s traditional 3D formula was a need for simplicity, as players allegedly didn’t know where to go in some of the plumber’s large-scale adventures.
With that said, Koizumi was quick to state that larger scale Super Mario titles will only resurface if there’s enough demand from “a large number of players.”
During the same interview it was confirmed that there will be no downloadable content developed for Super Mario 3D Land, so gamers intending on picking up the game later this month won’t have to be on the look out for additional worlds or items. Presumably, the lack of DLC is a combination of Nintendo pushing its internal teams to work on new software and a lack of public enthusiasm for pre-existing add-ons such as New Super Luigi U.
Would you like to see a new open world Mario game on Wii U, Ranters? Is Nintendo making a mistake by not focussing on DLC for Super Mario 3D World?
