Every game has sold well (if im not mistaken). It's like they can make a bad Mario game and it will still sell like hot cakes. Why do you think this is?

The most iconic gaming brand of all time, with a hugely high critical success rate (many of the main games are considered amongst the best games ever created), plus for the last twenty years or so Nintendo consoles tend to have a shortage of quality third party support so the Nintendo games sell even more on them.

They are (usually) fun, accessible, and well made.

Nintendo doesn't half ass these games. They put a lot of effort into making the games artistically unique, mechanically tight, and most important of all, fun and replayable even though they're all platformers at their core. Also they don't release them on a yearly schedule like the CoDs or the BBs, or whatever. The games may get old, but they're never bad.

I mean, sure, I'd say it's the worst 3D Mario, but it's also the first & only 3D Mario on a handheld (not counting 64 DS), and I was fucking hooked when it came out. In fact, I remember people loving the hell out of the game back in 2011/2012.

I guess when 3D World came out & it wasn't the 3D Mario most people wanted, it retroactively soured 3D Land's reputation.

when I was a kid I asked my mom to buy me Turok but she slapped me and said you're getting Mario 64 instead so probably something like that

Do other people hate the game? I have no idea, it was so awful to me I never even went to see the online discussions of it. 3D land is the only Mario game I played that I didn't enjoy at all in. The entire time I was thinking "this is really dull, I wonder when the good levels are gonna pop up?" all the way past the true final boss and it never did. There was just so little content, it was like a mobile game which I guess because it was one of the first 3DS games Nintendo didn't know if it would turn out well so they decided to play it as safe as possible. It's ironic because the 3DS turned out successful as hell while the Wii u flopped but 3D world had so much more creativity and love put into it than land did.
