## Nintendo Life mailbox: 3D Mario Predictions, Gaming Redemptions, Grammer Talk
This month’s inbox dives into hopes for the next 3D Mario, revisits gaming experiences that found redemption, and even tackles a bit of grammatical debate. Plus, a stern talking-to for a particularly vague correspondent…
Subject: 3D mario – What do *you* want?
I’m already getting hyped for the next 3D Mario! I’ve been replaying Super Mario Odyssey and it’s still astounding, but I’m hoping the next one leans a little more into the open-ended exploration of Super Mario 64. Less structured levels, more secrets to find, and a bigger emphasis on movement. What does the Nintendo Life team think we’ll get?
– Liam
that’s a great point, Liam! We’ve definitely had a lot of discussion about what the next 3D Mario should be. The balance between Odyssey‘s focused worlds and 64‘s freedom is a tricky one, but we’re all hoping for something that feels fresh and innovative. – Ed.
Subject: Redemption Arc – metroid Prime: Federation Force
I remember absolutely *hating* Metroid Prime: Federation Force when it first came out. I was so disappointed it wasn’t a proper Metroid Prime game. But I recently picked it up again on a whim, and… I actually had a lot of fun! It’s a surprisingly solid co-op shooter, and the Federation 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 you gave Federation Force another chance, Ben! It’s a game that definitely suffered from initial expectations, but it’s a genuinely enjoyable experience if you go in with an open mind. – Ed.
Subject: Grammar Police – “less” vs. “Fewer”
I noticed a slight grammatical error in a recent article – the use of “less” when ”fewer” would have been correct. “Less” is for uncountable nouns, while ”fewer” is for countable ones.Just thought I’d point it out!
– Dennis
You are absolutely correct, Dennis! We strive for accuracy in all our articles, and we appreciate you pointing out our mistake. We’ll be sure to be more careful in the future. – Ed.
Subject: …Something about data?
Randall
As in data from the cosmos or just really top-notch data collection? dennis might have been off-topic, but at least he was clear. Please be more specific with your spam, Randall. – Ed.
