come anticipate NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. with me

If it is good, I will buy a DS (lite).

i think the gameplay is 2d but it uses 3d models? i dunno i've seen like one screenshot.

watching those makes me feel very nostalgic.

!

that could be a lot of fun

And yeah, the new one looks like it's going to follow on from that. So I suppose that's why I'm just not that bothered.

Exactly! It makes me nostalgic for how excited I was and the pleasure I used to get playing 2D Mario games when they first came out. I don't think playing those old games again will ever give me the same feeling they used to, but the New Mario footage makes that nostalgic part of me think that maybe I CAN get that same feeling again because it's, like, old but new ALL AT THE SAME TIME. But then I simultaneously feel sad because I really doubt it can ever be like it once was. And I also think "Man, I'm old now". And I also think "Why can't I get no satisfaction from killing Goombas and Snifits and making vines grow and bouncing turtles shells against stairs for infinite 1-ups like I could once upon a time?" O NEW MARIO Y U BRAEK HAERT??/

I remember this feeling.

It is always the right choice to get excited about stuff with a past stuffed with perfection. ALWAYS.

Man, now I have to get a job so I can buy awesome shit. I knew this would happen if I started reading ILG again.

why do developers assume that the final guy MUST be a hairpulling hourlong experience in an otherwise well-balanced and enjoyable game?

A friend and I just beat the Warriors, which does exactly the same thing. Dunno why we couldn't just stab him like in the film.

If this is SMB1, the humble and almost clumsy everyman working joe on a mission has been replaced by some sort of ninja gymnast plumber, apparently.

it's actually a .txt but whtevs

coz I know you're fooling but I'm kinda getting excited about the Wii as a platform and if you have a list, I'd love to see it...the DS list you guys put together earlier this year on the DS thread has been pretty much my gaming agenda for the last six months; solid gold.

solid gold wii imo: Klonoa, Tiger Woods 2010, Little King's Story, Okami, Punch-Out!!, Resident Evil 4: Wii Edition, Resident Evil, Resident Evil 0, Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn, Pro Evolution Soccer 2010, House of the Dead: Overkill, NPC! Pikmin 2, NPC! Chibi-Robo, No More Heroes, Animal Crossing: City Folk, Metroid Prime: Trilogy, Mad World, Bit.trip series, Super Paper Mario, Zack & Wiki, A Boy & his Blob, Dead Space: Extraction, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, You, Me & the Cubes

upcoming: Metroid: Other M, Tatsunoko vs. Capcom, Silent Hill: Shattered Memories, No More Heroes: Desperate Struggle, Fragile, Dragon Quest X, Monster Hunter Tri, Red Steel 2, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Mario Galaxy 2, No More Heroes 2, Sin & Punishment 2, Epic Mickey, Illvelo,
Fatal Frame IV (fan translated), Pikmin 3

yeah.. see... i don't know, half that gold list are either gamecube ports and stuff that doesn't sound super appealing - or was ignored even by cultists. like klonoa, bit.trip stuff. dead space? super paper mario, isn't that totally forgotten at this point?

i don't mean to be such a debbie downer but i dunno

dead space!!!

dead space extraction is a pretty good game actually, a solid rental at least. anticipating far more wii games than ps3 games tbh.

I'm still catching up on Gamecube games (just got WarioWorld and Mario Power Tennis in the mail today)!

Super Paper Mario was rad; my mom lol has a wii and over a Christmas break a couple of years ago I played that mf pretty much day/night. Maybe she'll let me have the wii; I'm sure that I played it more in that three day binge than she's played it since.

also I want Punch-Out so badly

you should. it rules!

I wanted to like Super Paper Mario so much since Thousand Year Door is pretty much my favorite GC game but aaaaaaaaaaaagh ppl be talkin in it. I think the correct way to get through the opening scene is to set one of those drinking birds up by the wiimote and then go out for a walk.

if u h8 on klonoa ill punch in u in the stomach

my ideal wii games collection

01 nancy drew
02 klonoa
03 muramasa demon blade
04 gurren laggan tactics
05 paper mario
06 mad world
07 dokapon kingdom
08 boom bloxxx
09 resident evil 4 wii
10 grand slam tennis i think its called

This is surprisingly difficult with two players. Even cooperating, it's hard not to get in each other's way and mess stuff up. Crazy fun though!

Damn...

Single player is also surprisingly challenging - so far it feels just like a classic Mario game.

Poor luigi.
He's in a mouth for the whole level :(
Hope he didnt punch the uvula of the yoshis :(

this game owns

really

all the reviews for this need to say are "2D mario platformer. 9/10"

this game is predictably brilliant, every level seems to have an interesting new gameplay element.

!!!!

too short tho

thats what she said

how long you been lurking on ILG waiting to strike with that one

it'sa me!

am0nio!

Love that they worked Mario's catchphrase into Assassin's Creed II.

too short tho

yeah - its also not that good anymore once the nostalgia value/omg2d/visceral thrills have worn off

also, dear nintendo make a system that has graphics that don't look like shit you dumbfucks

software pirate is gonna have to become a bankrobber

been steadily working my way through this and it's become kind of a chore. :-/

wii ver, that is

maybe it's bc I don't play very frequently but I just can't get w/the controls. way too sluggish for a mario game.

The floaty, slow imprecision of the jumps really kinda dogs it. Seems like it was intentional to suit the multiplayer aspect of the game, where it does work (in the crazy contradictory/competitive sense).

yeah, "imprecise" is exactly the right word. I die a lot in this game and it often doesn't feel like it's my fault.

it's a shame because the level design is often pretty inventive but the game is just not that much fun bc of the controls.

i tht the levels were p lame

it's not even close to mario 3 (or even mario world) in that respect, but I do think it's fairly good on the whole. the castles in particular.

tho I could do without the motion control junk, as usual.

mario had floaty jumping? don't ever play littlebigplanet then

The DS version had it too, but it didn't feel quite as sluggish. I most definitely like these games, but it's all part of a distinct, plushier feel to the games - I don't want to say "less hardcore" because the game can still have challenging difficulty, but it's definitely away from the general speed of both play and repetitive death from the originals. Even the music styles support this atmosphere. A strange fallback from converting the 3D Marios in reverse to 2D again.

In particular one of the things I wasn't ever able to get a hold of, but seems like an important thing I'm missing, is the technique where you start running - it feels very slow - and when Mario has accelerated enough, do multiple pinpoint successive spinning jumps. Sometimes the levels seem to be designed for this super high risk technique to be used, and other times it feels like you are forced to just tiptoe through.

Even the new Wii game had the "floaty" jumping! I'm glad to hear someone else mention it, because all my friends acted like I was crazy when I complained about the weird looseness of the controls.

I am only 3 levels in (and I've played some of level 5) but the "floatyness" hasn't got to me and I never thought about it until I've seen it mentioned here. Floatyness could be a pester during boss battles but I'm sure the difficulty in this game is just fine (maybe a bit easy? - I can't say for sure yet). But Luigi or Princess Toadstool in Super Mario 2 would definitely win in a floatyness competition.

It's not just that the jumps are floaty, but the whole physics and inertia of running, jumping, and landing feels really weird - like how when you start running, Mario is like a tub of butter on ice, and it seems to take just a bit too long to be fast enough to jump forward - similarly, when you land. You can get used to it eventually, but it definitely doesn't have that click to it that SMB3 and SMW have.

You should try Kid Kool on a NES emulator to feel the most messed up running/jumping controls ever... I used to own the game and I still like it but woo-wee

I am only 3 levels in (and I've played some of level 5) but the "floatyness" hasn't got to me and I never thought about it until I've seen it mentioned here.

fwiw, I didn't have too much of an issue w/the controls until the game got a bit harder.

So I am playing Super Mario RPG, which is a really fun game and lives up to the hype. But it's kind of strange because it is the first 3D Mario game (complete with jump mechanics) and also the first CGI-rendered Mario game. At times it feels proto-Super Mario 3D World.

I am wondering why Nintendo doesn't just make a Super Mario Bros. CGI movie. The cutscenes (hell, the gameplay even) are already up there w big budget CGI cartoons imho. Plus an official movie that wasn't live action but actually made by Nintendo would be guaranteed nostalgia money, would have tons of marketing/cross-promotion potential, etc. Nintendo is shooting itself in the foot every minute that goes by and there is not a SMB movie in production.
