I mean, it&#8217;s got cute 3D overworlds, the scope is still as big as ever, and it&#8217;s got an increasing emphasis on online communication and player interaction&#8230; which is about all we asked for back then, wasn&#8217;t it? Huh. I guess it sounded more exciting when you expected it to be on a disc or a chunky cartridge.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Also the idea of a Mario murder mystery cracks me up, if just for the mental image of Wario assassinating Yoshi by dropping a Thwomp on him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s wicked, Chris!
