Talk has long been circulating among Super Mario fans hoping for a Super Mario Sunshine sequel or Galaxy trequel but is this truly the best course of action? I for one would like to see a return back to basics, converting the traditional 3D platformer to the 3D realm along the lines of Super Mario 64. Said game already had a sequel in development until it was cancelled and although some of SM 64 2's ideas were implemented into later installments, it never hurts to release a new game.
While the title would certainly have to be altered for the modern day, the principle theme of navigating Peach's Castle would come off as fresh after three more eccentric 3D Mario platformers. While cleaning graffiti and soaring into outer space are great, every plumber requires a break in familiar home turf once in awhile.
Interestingly enough, the shift towards Peach's Castle would mirror the minor story alterations Nintendo is pursuing with New Super Mario Bros. U wherein the Mario Bros. are thrown into a distant grassland by Bowser's airship and must traverse worlds of peril to reclaim the homeland.
What are your thoughts on the manner? Would you like to see a sequel title in the vein of Super Mario 64 or is the concept too outdated and lackluster after Mario's latter more creative outings in the additional third dimension? Post your thoughts below.
