Multiple Mario fans have expressed disappointment towards Nintendo as they believe that the recent Mario games were not up to par when compared to older titles. Some have theorized that Nintendo is releasing “half-baked” games just so that they can charge players for DLC.
Some Mario fans have defended Nintendo for the changes made in the newer title as they believe the game is much more grounded. However, some of those defending the game can agree that the game felt “small” for a $60 title.
Mario fans have started to worry that the next spin-off Mario games will receive poor treatment during the game’s development. At the same time, some have started to feel discouraged as they enjoy playing these games and have considered not getting the next Mario release.
