Strong disagree.  I think the pixel art looks great.  I didn’t expect anything else either since the 1st reveal trailer already showed the pixel art.

Really?  The health bars is what you focus on?  Talk about nitpicking.

Gee, I sure hope Nintendo survives because of your decision.

Dumb posts like this are why I’m starting to come to Kotaku less and less.

There’s a 0% chance any negative feedback affected this game’s production. You basing that on a Hobbit game that never came out doesn’t mean much.

What is it with the writers on this site and April Fool’s Day? Every year some of you make it a point to complain about it. Ligthen up.

Yeah, I’ll probably pass on this. Or at least wait until it’s on sale around black Friday.

Someone get this guy the “Jump to conclusions” board from Office Space.

Geez, was this article sponsored by Microsoft?

I think they would do Gameboy games before N64 games.

Ok?  Not like you have to pay attention to news you don’t like.

You’re being way too harsh on 3D world.

How was Odyssey not free roaming?  Unless you were just expecting even bigger levels?

It doesn’t have to be perfect, but it sounds like the Ian is making mountains of (monty) molehills to me.  

That wasn’t as satisfying as I was expecting.

Personally, I’m fine paying that in order to keep classics like Super Metroid and LttP on hand, if nothing else.

“Maybe I’m just an overly nostalgic fan”

As opposed to those artistic remasters where money is a second concern?

Yeah, I don’t buy this. It makes zero sense for Nintendo to cancel something like this because it was leaked. I think it’s speculation that somehow got turned into a story.

It’s probably the most refined Mario containing linear levels. As long as you’re not expecting something more open world like Odyssey or Mario 64, it’s great. But even if you do want open world, it sounds like the Bowser’s Fury side game will scratch that itch.
