A documentary on the making of Super Mario World, the launch of the Super Nintendo, and how the game perfected the concepts of the Super Mario series.
A nice, long video about a classic game. The best Mario game? Maybe.

Super Mario 3 was better, Super Mario 4 had the advantages and disadvantages of using new hardware AND following up on one of the greatest games of all time.

I’ve always highly enjoyed his work, so it’s a bummerI watched this yesterday, I noticed gaming historian barely puts out videos anymore.
I remember him saying a few years ago he hired some people so he can get more videos out (then videos came out even slower)
Wonder if he lost interest or just too busy with other real life stuff.
Never liked it.
It's good, but it ain't no Sunshine.The best Mario game? Maybe.

Knowing how safe the NSMB games are, it would probably suck and be a disgrace to the original SMW just like NMSB2 is a disgrace to SMB3. I also think the NSMB art-style is ugly.My absolute favorite Mario game.
I wish they made a modern 2D "New Super Mario World", or something like that. An HD game in that art style would look beautiful.
I was referring to World's art style in my post. I thought it would look fantastic in HD.I also think the NSMB art-style is ugly.
I'd still love a more direct follow up using the same art-style (a throwback ala Sonic Mania) that grabs everything that SMW did and expands upon it, something that does what Super Mario Odyssey tried to do with 3D Collect-a-thon Mario but with 2D Sidescroller Mario.
Something that brings every element from all the classic 2D Marios (SMB1, SMB2, Lost Levels, Land, SMB3, SMW and Land 2) That would be a true SMW2 (No offense to Yoshi's Island, that game is equally fantastic, it's just not a real sequel)
Sonic Mania did this because that style and gameplay was the best Sonic ever had, nowhere to be found in later games.I'd still love a more direct follow up using the same art-style (a throwback ala Sonic Mania)
Is it wrong that I spend more time watching videos about games than actually playing them?
Talking about or watching about more than playing is normal. Unless you are watching lets plays of games you actually own.
Honestly it wasnt much different from this retrospective made 2 years ago. It even uses some of the same footage.Great video. Well researched and informative. Super Mario World is still the best 2D Mario for me. A defining masterpiece for the Super Nintendo and platform genre.
To be honest I have to disagree, Sonic Advance exists and Sonic 4 was OK as a mobile game but shouldn't have been ported to consoles, or marketed as a sequel to Sonic 3 & Knuckles, that's also another reason why I don't want a NSMB-styled sequel to SMW btw, It's not like that matters anyways, a Mania-styled Mario that recaptures the charm that the original classic Mario games had would be a better choice.Sonic Mania did this because that style and gameplay was the best Sonic ever had, nowhere to be found in later games.
Mario can offer good gameplay without sticking to its past in terms of graphics. Nintendo know this, that’s why they keep changing styles for Mario games. I personally never had a problem with NSMB’s style, especially when it came to better hardware than the DS’s.
NSMBU is arguably on par with SMW for creativity and design. Too bad it came at the worst time, in the worst place.
Eh I think a lets play can have it's own unique value, I like to see blind lets plays of games I love just to see their reactions, it's part of the appeal, like playing the game for the first time again. I also like to see other kinds of lets plays like OneyPlays just for the humoristic value, feels more like a funny podcast with videogames in the background.Talking about or watching about more than playing is normal.

Oh! Yeah, my bad, I think an animated style would be gorgeous, just imagine a Mario game looking like Rayman Origins and Legends.I was referring to World's art style in my post. I thought it would look fantastic in HD.
