10 Things Only Hardcore Nintendo Fans Will Understand

8. You Couldn't Wait For Super Mario Galaxy 3 (Or Super Mario Universe)

There's absolutely no denying the outright quality of both Super Mario 3D Land and 3D World. They've blended much of what has made Mario successful over the years onto a pair of games that are almost 2.5D in control scheme and camerawork. But there are those that believe Galaxy 3 could happen and still seek further innovation from the Big N.

The biggest question is over not just level design (assuredly excellent) but also over new controller creations; Nintendo is yet to reveal the concept behind the NX, and there are several rumours regarding input, screen solution(s) and even the possibility of VR or a 3D display. The nagging issue of a portable/home console hybrid is still to be addressed, too.

If Nintendo is to innovate again with controller design (as with Wii) or the way information is presented to the player (as with the DS and Wii U) then it needs a strong Mario game to sell it to the largest audience possible. Mario Galaxy 3 could be the title to do this.
