This initial opinion is a little bit different as I haven't played the game yet. This is more of a question. Can one return home again? In other words, does New Super Mario Bros. even stand a chance at living up to expectations? Is it bound to disappoint based on not living up to the nostalgia? Depending on who you ask, it's been eleven or fifteen years since the last traditional 2D playing Mario platformer has been released. Not everyone agrees that 1995's Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island belongs (it does) and would go back to 1991's Super Mario World as the last one. Whatever your take on it, it's been a long while and nostalgia has firmly set in. Can any title live up to it? I hope so, but I also doubt that it can. For the most part, the saying is you can never go home again. Meaning that nothing is the same when you do. You can never recapture your youth and innocence. Will people be able to judge New Super Mario Bros. for what it actually is, or will it be judged unfairly against a nostalgia boosted Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, or Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island?
