i'm not a Mega Man guy, but the "hardware constraints + modern game design sensibilities" conceit is so good. and Nintendo would pull it off better than anyone! would be the ideal canvas for them to flex their level design talent

think about how incredible it would be if Nintendo made a throwbacky 2D Mario and truly committed themselves to the era-specific aesthetic, Mega Man 9 style. they'd hit it out of the park, visually and mechanically. seems like such an easy win

I’d be down for some new chip tune music alone! And when/if a new Mario Maker comes out I hope hey they give us access to all the power ups throughout all the different visual styles.

I’d love a new side-scrolling Mario game in the style of SMW!

i've thought about this before, too. i just assume they are too afraid of potential backlash with it being their core series or would just rather have that effort focused on a new gen console mario game

but as far as a new "retro" style mario game, god it would rule. can you imagine some of the revamped ideas they could do these days? i'd kill just to even see some simple secret pipe areas in those old graphics

Oh hell yeah, like a Sonic Mania but Mario? That would be super cool!

Unlike MegaMan 9 and 10, where the retro just comes off as infuriating and lazy because it was such a massive pointless step backwards, Mario would actually benefit HUGELY from it due to how badly modern New Super Mario Bros games suck (especially aesthetically).
