Do We know the Future of This Franchise Yet?

I think we do know the future. When it returns, if it even does, it will be unrecognizable, void of all the charm, and full of microtransactions.

Honestly I feel like SMB3 started going that way already. I loved the customization, but the gameplay wasn't as fun as the first 2. They were definitely trying to go a little more sim, while trying to keep some of the initial quirkiness. But SMB3 ventured too close to that line of being neither in my view.

Only thing I'm not a fan of in SMB 3 compared to SMB 2 is the overall presentation. I loved the color scheme and sound effects of 2.

I have to play this game again to see where the pitfalls are for me still, but it's the most fun I've had playing a baseball video game in quite some time.

i played tge original smb last night.
forgot how much better the view was after hitting the ball in play.
hopefully they add different fielding views. the views in smb 2 and 3 seem too zoomed out to me

1 was actually the best to me - I bought all 3 but it lost it's charm

One thing that I would hope that they would keep for SMB4 is the ease use of the creative tools

It is very easy to create decent-looking logos and uniforms and the ability to copy attributes to all players so that players can have color-correct shoes, gloves, tape, and wristbands, makes getting started very quickly.

I was able to set my women's league up in one day and it looked great, also being able to edit things after getting started is a good touch also.
