Johnny Amizich makes his GOTG debut to talk about 2011’s Super Mario 3D Land. We discuss the merits of 2D vs. 3D Mario games, how 3D Land bridges the gap between the two and how much better Nintendo EAD was before their restructuring (y’know, if you don’t could The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Mario Odyssey).

Show Notes:

Like most Iwata Asks, the one on Super Mario 3D Land we referenced in the episode is packed with interesting tidbits.
