not even remotely a Nintendo fan, honestly the only Nintendo game I've ever played is Wii Fit/Sports after my Dad got a Wii after breaking his neck to actually help his balance (not just bullshittery like most people bought it for).
But... I do gotta say, after seeing the vids of the Mario figure reacting to stuff, and being all animated... he's actually sorta cute. I think LEGO really tried their best to elevate what could have been a really boring and stale series of sets, to something unique and memorable.
My main gripe with it isn't that its "soulless" or whatever, there are plenty of themes with significantly less creativity or imagination (cough Star Wars cough), but it doesn't really feel like LEGO. It's clearly a PARTNERSHIP between LEGO and Nintendo, some weird hybrid of the two. But that's better in my opinion than something like LEGO Minecraft, which is basically just recreations of blocky scenes from the game, without any real innovation or substance.
Anyways, just my unpopular opinion.
