Which are you more excited to play: New Mario or new Zelda?

Share your perspective. Keep it thoughtful, welcoming and on topic.

1. Mario for me.

2. Zelda, of course. What a silly question.

3. I Would Have Them Both

   However, I must admit… I already have Zelda preordered, but not Mario. I think the only reason I went ahead and preordered it was to get the Wii Remote Plus and 25th Anniversary CD. Since Super Mario 3D Land doesn't come with anything more special than a set of pens, it doesn't require a preorder.

4. Oops…I mean Mario's the game I'm looking forward to most. Zelda's gonna have to wait a bit.

5. Tough choice, but I tend to do more mobile gaming so I'll go with Mario

6. First off I'd like to man up and apologize for being so disagreeable lately. Though, please do me and the other infendo regulars a solid… Lighten up please? It's bad enough everyone else rags on Ninty, we don't have to do the same. Discussion? Sure. Future ideas/concepts? Why not. It's just the needless spite that I detest.

   I'm definitely more excited for Zelda! It's why I'm a Ninty fan through thick and thin. It's the Link that keeps me here. lol If Mario 3d Land takes a week to beat, well then touche to that game. I really doubt it will though, Mario games are easy and 2nd nature to me (and probably most gamers here).

7. Super Mario 3D Land for me. I have always loved 3D and every Mario platformer so far has blown my mind. I can't wait to see how Nintendo combines the two.

8. Mario.

   I just prefer handhelds, to be honest.

   I have them both pre-ordered, though! Just the regular edition of Zelda, though–I'm not MADE of rupees (besides, I already have enough Wii Remotes!)

9. WAI U MAKE ME CHOOSE?

   Probably Zelda…I've been hearing amazing reviews for that.

10. Without a doubt, Zelda. Considering I don't have a 3DS, it's not a hard choice. Though even if I did, I would jump into Zelda headlong anyway.

11. To be perfectly honest, I'm more interested in Super Mario 3D Land. No, it's not just because I own a site about the 3DS and another about Super Mario 3D Land, I've always just been much more of a Mario fan than a Zelda one.

    Although I'm kind of looking even more forward to Mario Kart than either.

12. Zelda and Mario. Equally excited for both.

13. Zelda for me, been waiting for the game for over a year.

14. Zelda

15. It´s even harder for us germans. Both games are released at the same day, so we definitely have to chose one of them.

    I´ll go with Zelda, cause the 3d Mario games didn´t excite me that much.

16. Zelda for sure. I respect your opinions, Mario fans, but at the same time, Mario is just getting easier and easier the older I get. It doesn't help, of course, that games in general are just getting easier, but Zelda always provides a fresh challenge. Plus, the catchphrase on the NES game was just so catchy – it remains ingrained in my memory to this day. "Experience the challenge of endless adventure."

17. I wanna play both of them cause I'm a big fan of both Mario and Zelda.

18. Mario.

    Actually, the Zelda excites me more, but… Mario sounds like countless hours of handheld fun and constant replays. Zelda sounds like a good 1 or 2 magical playthroughs.

19. Besides, Nintendo owns both.

20. Definately Zelda

21. Zelda (drools), but I'm concerned now that I heard it is supposed to be easy as twilight princess, but supposedly the reviewer had a tougher time than what he said so in actuality it might be on a good difficulty level.
    On the 20th I will be glued to my tv until I beat the game already got a game plan that I will screw up (the only reason you need plans for anything is to screw them up ask pink panther).

22. i guess the next mario DS game?

    (also, it turns out Santiago to DC is plenty of time in a plane to start and beat new super mario bros without warping. Esp if you go through Dallas instead of Miami.)

23. BOTH

    Actually I have both.

    But I have to say I'm more excited about Zelda.

    My goodness, it's been 5 years since Twilight Princess !!!

    What a loooooooooooob wait !

24. Zelda only because I'm more of a console guy.

25. I'm definitely more excited for Skyward Sword; full fledged Zelda games are always amazing. Mario 3D Land will probably be pretty fun, but I can wait until Christmas or a $10 price drop on Amazon for it. Actually, I'm much more excited for Mario Kart than I am for Mario 3D Land.

26. Mario has been better than Zelda lately. That's not to say Zelda has been bad—Mario has just been mind-blowing. So for me, it's Super Mario 3D Land all the way. Zelda will follow.

27. Are you serious? The failing 3ds or the old bt still great wii? forget mario or zelda, this goes to the wii each time. Plus, Zelda's been talked about since last year, when it was SUPPOSED to come out in early 2011.

28. I am way more excited for Zelda Skyward Sword than for the Mario 3D land, as we got 3 awesome Mario games on the Wii, and Twilight Princess was way back in 2006!

29. I'm more excited for Zelda. Didn't Edge give it a 10 out of 10 and say it was the best Zelda game ever?

    Anyhow, I tried both of the games at the San Diego Comic-con and they're both awesome. But what tipped it towards Zelda for me was the evil villain in the demo. He was one of the best, most unique personalities I've ever encountered in a video game.

30. Mario.

31. I preordered Skyward Sword and I don't even own a 3DS yet, so I guess that answers that.

32. Definitely Skyward Sword. I love me some Mario Games but the epic adventure, story and cutting edge gameplay of Zelda outweighs Mario in a big way.

    I'll still buy Mario 3D Land, just not right away…

33. Maybe it's 'cause I'm a girl, but…LINK ALL THE WAY!

34. Mario. Zelda always has terrible bottlenecks and awkward, if not just terrible conveyance.

35. Zelda. Sorry, it has to be!
