okay let me go through this whole exchange
That's not the same thing as saying it affected the genre. He's saying he didn't claim it did. SMB kickstarted platformers and was bland and that's it. This is ridiculous.
if what you're saying is that FEZ 2 would be superior,
I'm saying it had the potential to, not that it would be.
super mario bros: the lost levels, the true sequel to super mario bros, is pretty much the same game but harder.
Well I'm sorry. I'm not a big nintendo fan and I thought that SMB2 was the sequel.
