Hmm.... No one has gone with a Tetris-DS idea.


I will be back soon, booting up the photoshop.

This is adding a layer of realism that I'd never want in a series centered around a concept as archetypically-simplistic and rooted in fantasy history as a hero defeating a monster and saving a princess.

Braid says hello.

Though I agree with you on never wanting to see a Mario game with this layer of realism.

edit: Holy shit, just noticed Kodiak's reply at post 69. I should have scrolled up.

You mean the way it horribly clashed retro pixel objects with a more realistic background?

While the NSMB graphics might be my least favored out of of all the Mario games, the far bigger problem I have with NSMB Wii are the jaggies. It looks just as pixelated as the DS version.

I think it depends. The complete retro look by plain integer pixel multiplication is cool, but I also find a charm in what essentially becomes a vector graphic interpretation of the retro. Different scaling methods for different situations.

Yeah, I like the filtered look as well. I know many might not, but I always preferred blurry over pixelly. (though not in that particular comparison to be honest :x)

And that's how sprite filters are created.

Stop talking about me like if i was not there:lol

Won't someone show mercy and create a mockup Super Paper Mario style. ;_;

 

[A Black Falcon]

this has been explained 100 times. Because you will meet princess and the others along in the game as NPCs.

NPCs that become playable characters, though, or just "here's Peach, go rescue her now"? That's my question...


As for sprite filters, I think they sometimes can look okay, but the unfiltered look usually is best.

Actually, the "let's emulate a TV" look is usually best, really... adding stuff like fuzziness, lines, etc, to make up for the fact that the screen is much sharper than the image was meant to be seen on.

If it only would have had this type of graphics...

 

[ThatObviousUser]

This thread convinced me to buy Super Mario Bros. 2 off the Virtual Console.

SMW has aged so gracefully.

Oh totally. I think it still looks absolutely awesome even today.

 

[Grayman]

If it was to be 2d I would have rather had new high detail art for the game. All of the examples look better than the DS version, if you ignore the filtering...

 

[Grampa Simpson]

Looks like Kotaku ran out of things to report on again.

 

[CTLance]

Fuck my eyes. The next one to post some "filtered" pixel art will wake up with a few extra nostrils.

 

[DDayton]

Looks like Kotaku ran out of things to report on again.

Kotaku picked filtered images over pixel-perfect creations.

Should we be surprised?

 

[biggkidd32]

I quite liked NSMB's art direction, so NSMB Wii looks great to me. The music was dreadful, though.

 

[bartris]

If it only would have had this type of graphics...

Yes!

Edited the picture a little after you quoted it honestly I just copied and pasted stuff from screenshots and artwork from the game to make it resemble the original picture, what kind of source material would you like to see? The PSD file?

Sprites....

See, years ago I had this site bookmarked with EVER Paper Mario 2 sprite and other sourcefile, but I lost the link, and google is of no help.

Thanks anyways...

Ah. I got a few from http://www.spriters-resource.com/ if that's any help.

None at all, but thanks regardless.

Holy fuck!

The cloud and the bush are the exact same sprites o_o!

Only different colour

Is this a joke, or have you actually not been in the cloudbush thread? :lol Currently the latest one is that there's a miniature version of the Zelda 1 map in Zelda 2's overworld.

 

[GhostSeed]

This thread got posted on a Japanese gaming site yesterday. :lol
