## Nintendo Life mailbox: 3D Mario Predictions, Gaming Redemptions, Grammer Talk
Thisโฃ month’sโ inbox dives into hopesโข for the next 3D Mario, revisits gaming experiences โฃthat found redemption, and even tackles a bit โฃof โขgrammatical debate. Plus, a stern talking-to for a particularly โvague correspondentโฆ
Subject: 3D mario – What do *you* want?
I’m already getting hyped forโ the next 3D Mario! I’ve been replaying Super Mario Odyssey and โคit’s still โขastounding, but I’m hoping the next one โleans a little more into โขthe open-ended exploration of Super Mario โ64. Less structured levels, more secrets to find, and a bigger emphasis on movement. What doesโค the Nintendo Life team think we’ll get?
– Liam
that’s a โคgreat point, Liam! We’ve definitely had a lot of discussion about whatโข the next 3D Mario should be. Theโ balance between Odyssey‘s focused worlds and 64‘s freedom is a tricky one, โbut we’re all hoping for something โthat feels fresh and innovative. – Ed.
Subject: โRedemption Arc – metroidโค Prime: Federation Force
I remember absolutely *hating* Metroid Prime: Federation Force when it first came out. โI was so disappointed it wasn’t a properโ Metroid Prime game. But I recently picked โขit up again on a whim, andโฆ I actually had a lot of fun! โIt’s a surprisingly โsolidโ co-op shooter, and the Federationโ force characters are endearing in their own way. It’s a redemption arc for a game I initially dismissed.
– Ben
It’s fantastic to here โฃyou gave Federation Force another chance, Ben! It’s a game that definitely suffered from initial expectations,โฃ but it’sโฃ a genuinely enjoyable experience if you go in with an open mind.โฃ – Ed.
Subject: Grammar Police – “less” vs. “Fewer”
I noticed a slight grammaticalโค error in a recent โarticle – the use of “less” when โ”fewer” would have beenโ correct. “Less” โis for uncountable nouns, while โ”fewer” is for countable ones.Just thought I’d point โit out!
– Dennis
You are absolutely correct, Dennis! We strive for accuracy in all โขour articles, and we appreciate โขyou pointing out our mistake. We’ll be sure to be more โcareful in the future. – Ed.
Subject: โฆSomething about data?
Randall
As in data from theโ cosmosโข or just really top-notch data collection? dennis might have been off-topic,โข but at least โhe was clear. Please be more specific with your spam, Randall. – Ed.
