I don't get why people, especially Gaf, would be mad at a Mario game being good. Like....that's to be expected. I can't think of a single person that would be all "MAN, I HOPE THE NEXT MARIO GAME SUCKS" aside from stubborn console fanboys who have to insult others to justify their purchase.
.....not to mention, it's for a game WE HAVEN'T PLAYED IT, save for the lucky few who got to try it at E3 or Best Buy's demo kiosk or whatever, & that's just a demo. Like come on, how is it people are all "WUT DA HELL, IT'S A GOOD GAME!" to people who actually played it when they themselves have not played a single second of it.
