Option 1 I guess, since I couldn't decide if I wanted more info on LM3 and SMM2 or a new Paper Mario. Honestly want both (asking too much most likely).
I was going to saw option 2, but the only Mario game I'm looking forward to is LM3. Meanwhile, I super want a new Animal Crossing and the Pokemon game, plus I have been meaning to get into the Metroid franchise at some point.
^All of the above except for 10. However, if I were to pick one, probably the improved online. Especially since I have the weaker of the two onlines (the 3DS online). It's decent, though.
Dry Bones Shell.
Not much else actually was that great looking (except for Story Mode, which I'm still kinda iffy on, and night mode). Also online has never and probably will never mean that much to me so eh.
Option 4. The extreme infrequency of art book and soundtrack releases outside Japan is not acceptable. I'd buy an art book and soundtrack for my favorite games in a heartbeat.
I'd also be down for more amiibo, and it's a real shame they've cut down on releasing those.
Option 5, but more along the lines of buying what I like if I do. I'm not really a merchandise kind of guy. But I do have some merchandise. So not hard core option 8. But, I don't want Nintendo to stop with the merchandise stuff. It is a thing outside of game, you know.
Merchandising is not for me, since I do not generally get them these days since they tend to be on the pricey side. I am not completely ruling out any sort of merchandising, as I might get something if the interest and availability is there. On the other hand, the big thing I would like to see from them is either an animated series or a comic book series (outside Super Mario-kun), especially as far as Mario is concerned.
None of the options really describe what I would want, so I am going to go for Option 6, whereby they focus on peripherals.
Option 2. I get more Mario figs, more plushies of Mario characters isn't a bad thing, and bootleggers can continue to get more opportunities to half-ass toys so I can laugh or be terrified at them.
I just want a merchandise line for subseries like Mario & Luigi, like actual quality figures and whatnot, not just some accessories with artwork printed on them. The BIS styluses were closer to what I want, but I want something like the World of Nintendo figures. Make it limited run, do whatever you gotta do, all I need is for it to exist and I'll make the rest work somehow.
If I can get an official plushie or standalone figure of Fawful my life will officially complete. I suppose this falls under option 2. But some official clothing would be nice too.
