I mean, sure it's a fun Mario game, I'm not denying that.
But each level is basically the same. The 3D-planet-gimmick wore off fast for me.
It was neat at first, like "Holy, I'm upside-down, and I'm Mario!" but then it was just "I want to finish this goddamn level so I can stop being upside-down."
I'm not denying it's not a fun game.
Maybe with the release of NSMBW, I just realized I like the side scrolling a lot more than a game that is centred around Mario.

I don't really think you gave the game a fair chance. But if it didn't hold your interest, I won't judge. There are only a couple of upside-down moments, though. For the most part the camera reorients based on your position on whatever surface you're walking on. The side-scrolling Mario games do tend to be more accessible, though.
Regardless, I'm going to say Over by some but Under by most. It's a fantastic platformer and it has a lot going for it. There are things that could be better but those gripes are more aimed at Nintendo in general.
Nintendo seems to just snub evolutionary advancements in gaming, and I do think it hinders the quality of the stuff they put out. You can see this in their adaptation (or lack thereof) of HD graphics, online network/multiplayer, and mass storage. Nintendo wants nothing to do with an idea if it's been done by a competitor in the last five years - so they lag behind in every aspect but the one they focused on (this time around, motion controllers).
