Title: Super Mario 3D World
Post by: zeldafan42 on 13 June, 2013, 02:23:22 am
So I haven't seen much of it 8eyond the one trailer, 8ut I'm kind of excited for this game. It looks like it'll 8e fun.

The characters having unique a8ilities like in Super Mario 8ros 2 is a gr8 feature for them to 8ring 8ack, not to mention it's a8out time we got a playa8le Peach again.

Also, the Cat Suit is super adora8le.

Anyone else looking forward to this?

Yeah, though it doesn't look as innovative as Galaxy...


...but kitties!

Super Mario Bros 2 is my favorite of the NES games so I'm pretty stoked. Plus 3D Land was boss as hell.

I'm sure this will be great, but to be honest it was probably my main disappointment for Nintendo's E3 showing. Though that's primarily because after so many level-based Mario games recently (the NSMB series and Mario 3D Land), I was hoping for a return for the less linear approach seen in SM64, Sunshine and, to an admittedly lesser extent, Galaxy/2. I just kind of miss having a hub world and visiting open levels that I can explore at my leisure, and collecting stars/shines instead of just heading for flagpoles. I enjoyed 3D Land, and I'm sure I'll enjoy this too, but both games just seemless like proper 3D Mario games and more like 2D Mario games trying to masquerade as 3D ones.

While I do want a 64/Sunshine like 3d Mario, I have to admit that this looks like it will be a blast to play, and from what I have heard, it totally is. :3  Love SMB2, and this feels like an extension of that.  Been wanting playable Peach for a while now.

And yeah, kitties! X3

I'm sure they'll make a proper 3D Mario sooner or later, 8ut for now, I'm rather excited a8out this. I liked 3D Land quite a 8it, so I don't mind giving the gameplay style a go on the Wii U.

Among other things, I think this is the first time Peach has ever 8een playa8le in a game with powerups. Cat Suit Peach is adora8le, and I think I've seen a few screenshots of Fire Peach too. That alone makes me happy for this game.

The only real "problem" is that it's not what I was expecting. When you hear that Nintendo's developing the next 3D Mario game and it'll be shown at E3, you expect the next SM64/Sunshine/Galaxy. I'm only disappointed because I got my hopes up.

I do like the cat suit, though, and it's good to see 3D multiplayer. Even though I don't actually know anyone in real life who'd want to play except occasionally my sister. So yeah, hoping for online.

There better be online. :/  I think the game looks SUPER fun, but it would really be brought down by such limited multiplayer.  And I personally really like local multiplayer; best kind.  But in the real world, it's not always so easy to get friends together in a single place. :/

So yeah, Ninty, you bettah puts it in. >:3

Also, kitties! X3

Post by: Gargravarr on 17 June, 2013, 03:08:34 pm
I prefer local too. I remember in high school we used to have a great time on Mario Kart DS. I rarely won, but still.


Title: Re: Super Mario 3D World
Post by: zeldafan42 on 17 June, 2013, 07:08:13 pm
I think Nintendo made a comment somewhere that there's no online multiplayer........I just don't remem8er where I read it.

8ecause really, these kinds of games are the most fun when it's local multiplayer. Online just wouldn't feel the same.


Title: Re: Super Mario 3D World
Post by: Gargravarr on 17 June, 2013, 07:09:27 pm
Well yeah, but for those of us without the option of local...


Title: Re: Super Mario 3D World
Post by: Dusty Starr on 17 June, 2013, 07:17:38 pm
Options are NEVER a bad thing. :/  The ol' gang I used to play classics like Mario party, Mario kart, and Smash Bros. with has since moved to various different states.  Playing local is better, but being able to play at all is better than nothing.  Plus, not everyone has real life friends.

This is on my radar for sure. The return of character-specific mechanics makes me feel all fuzzy inside... The cat costume feels like its a liiiittle op, though. Climbing up flag poles? Really? Either way, it looks awesome.

Now just gotta wait for a Paper Luigi game...

Ok, true, options are never 8ad.

The only thing is........as much as I love Nintendo, as much as I stand up for them and defend them, they do have one weakness.

They're severely lagging when it comes to implementing online features and options.

They always seem to 8e a generation 8ehind on implementing online connectivity, and I have a feeling that this game is going to show this. Yes, it would 8e really, realllllllly cool to play this online. And really, in this day and age, you think it'd 8e an o8vious feature to add. After all, most video games with multiplayer options have online, right?

8ut yeah, Nintendo is most likely going to drop the 8all on this one. And yeah, a lot of the die hard fans might 8e "Well, that's ok, 8ecause something like this is just more fun playing locally anyways."

I do have friends I could play this with IRL. Mostly my girlfriend, 8ut hey, it's still two players. So no online doesn't really 8other me. 8ut I will agree that Nintendo needs to realize that for some people, online is the only way they can experience multiplayer and they need to change up their style. So far, the 3DS and Wii U have done an excellent jo8 at catching up to the level of online connectivity of Nintendo's rivals. Now they just need to push it with their games as well.

Yeah. Nintendo are closing the gap, but they need to keep at it.


Title: Re: Super Mario 3D World
Post by: Dusty Starr on 12 July, 2013, 06:10:41 pm
Exactly.  They are almost there, especially with games like Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Kid Icarus: Uprising, and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon (this was made by a western team though), they show they can do it pretty well... they just need to keep doing it with more games.

Maybe I'm just easily swayed, but after being a bit skeptical about this game for some time I'm finding myself a bit more encouraged after reading this preview:

I think it's safe to say I'm now looking forward to this game quite a lot more than I was.

You guys beat me to it, but yeah, that new trailer really brought the hype for me. :3  The game looks way better than it did at launch.  Looks like SO MUCH FUN!  No online sucks though, but still.

Also, looks like Bowser got a Pimpmobile from Wario.

Speaking of pimp Bowser:

Yeah so I got this today and it's really good, this is on par with Galaxy 2.

There so many new gameplay mechanics that are really fun. Some of the older level ideas are here too but they've added a whole new twist to them, the old 2D ideas work well in 3D here. There were some old power ups that I'd forgotten about, it was awesome using the mega mushroom in a 3D game. They've taken all the best parts of the older games and put them here yet it doesn't feel forced like NSMB.

It looks great too, there's small details that you never really get to see if you're playing through the first time. There's parts where you go through the clear pipe that are kinda like the parts where you'd fly though space in Galaxy, you past by some scenic stuff. The music is fantastic, it's got a good range of stuff and it's all amazing.

It plays like a kinda like Galaxy where it's 3D yet you're on a set path like the 2D ones. It let's you go off the path they laid out to explore the level and there's always something to find be it lives, green stars or stamps. Sometimes it's just another way to go with more coins or a shortcut, it's also great to speed run too. The level select screen is kinda like a hub, you have free movement and there's some hidden stuff scattered around which is a step up from Galaxy 2.

Seriously this should be your reason to get a WiiU now.
