Dylan Newcome - May look to explore the Galaxy further.
When Mario fans heard that a 3D Mario platformer for Wii U would be shown at E3, expectations were undoubtedly high and varied. Many had their own ideas about what Mario's 3D foray into high-definition would look and play like, but it would have been difficult to predict a successor to Super Mario 3D Land. Fan reactions to the announcement were certainly mixed, with some questioning the decision to focus on multiplayer.

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).
Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.
Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Nintendo completed its share repurchase and set its secondary offering price at 8,347 yen ahead of March 16 delivery.

Nintendo filed a lawsuit in the United States Court of International Trade.
Nintendo of America is suing the United States government over the sweeping tariffs President Donald Trump put in place last year, according to a complaint filed Friday in the U.S. Court of International Trade and obtained by Aftermath.
LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.
The sooner the better if Nintendo won't bother to make the multiplayer ones online.
So can they at least confirm whether or not this is the Wii U "spiritual" successor to Super Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy.
Because this looks like what New Super Mario Bros U was to the handhelds New Super Mario Bros.
Here it seems like we have gotten a console version of Super Mario 3D Land
Oh please not another galaxy. Don't get me wrong, I really liked galaxy 1 and 2 but let's be honest here, they had nothing on 64 and sunshine. If they do make a single player focused mario game for the wii u, let it be a 64/sunshine sequel or an entirely new sub-franchise.
Multiplayer is fun but
Single player platform game level design

Multiplayer platform game level design
I don't see why u can't have a great very tight single player mario game. But also be able to play 4 player. Sure 4 player will take away a lot of the challange, but it's fun to play 4 player. I don't know why it can't be both.
