Plus NSMBU's levels were much more complex and full of dynamic objects like enemies than NSMBWii's.

Don't forget that some(all?) of the backgrounds were fully 3D.
Didn't see this mentioned in any of the threads, but a screenshot in the Japanese site reveals that
is in the game in some form.

can we please not post ugly ass NSMB screens in this thread pls
thank you
thank you
^^^^ wow!
We all suspected as much from that one thread where we spotted the galaxy hub world in the background.
Actually, you can see the Comet Observatory in one of the artworks.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Rosalina making a little cameo in the game.
Edit: Damn you Manny!!
When I first saw it a while back I was pretty disappointed but now it's looking fantastic. It's now joined the following games that look 'next-gen' (please note that in my book that means that said games aren't a match for anything on the PS4 or One just that these games are beyond what the PS3 and 360 are capable of):
Need For Speed Most Wanted
Pikmin 3
The Wonderful 101
Super Mario 3D World
Bayonetta 2
X
Mario Kart 8
SSBU
Shame that third parties haven't put more effort in though tbh.

This looks awesome. Nintendo should have started development earlier and released this holiday season last year, would have sold consoles probably. Can't wait to play it.

I bet there's a section of the game that's based on Mario Galaxy mechanics (spherical + gravity).
Yeah, I know that (pretty sure I posted in that thread myself), but I don't think we had 100% confirmation of the character herself.

The one dominant thought in my mind when I see these screens is "that looks fun."
Nothing really grabs my gaming interest and makes me feel like a kid again quite in the same way that a new 3D Mario game does. 3D World gives off a sense of pure gaming bliss.

Why is Mario's cat suit yellow? Was red too flashy?

totally concur. THIS SHOUKD HAVE BEEN THE LAUNCH TITLE. Ninty was too quick to jump into next slash current gen. Now they actually have some gaems!

I imagine that they figured Peach's pink was close enough to red and wanted more distinct colors, touching all ends of the color wheel.

You can swivel the camera around a bit, but from what I've understood you don't have enough control over it to replicate some of more dramatic angles seen here. The way they introduced the camera controls made it sound like it's more of a rather restrictive way to "look around" stuff a bit and such, and not a totally free camera like in Sunshine. But they are welcome to prove me wrong! I guess it could also vary between levels. Most levels we've seen seem very much designed to be viewed from one particular angle, while others we've seen snippets of lately look more open and free-form.
We still don't. That screen is just for the stickers you collect I believe, and I don't think a character being represented by a sticker necessarily means that character is actually in the game. Or maybe it does!
Anyway, yeeeeah, this game is the first to really make me want a Wii U. Are there gonna be bundles with it?
It really, really should have been a launch title.

Any word on how the Wii U Gamepad will be used in this game, apart from finding hidden objects?

Definitely aliasing (although there's probably some artifacting going on as well). Did you expect the game to have great AA? Hasn't seemed like a priority for Nintendo on the Wii U thus far, there are jaggies all over the place in their games. And this game is probably pushing the console harder than most games released so far, looking this nice while running at 60 fps.
It's not about new IPs, but new experiences!

Nintendo has a wide variety of IPs and they make new characters all the time. The problem is, creating flagship franchises with new characters is really difficult so Nintendo continues to rely on their tried and true properties for the bigger and higher-budget productions.
Fortunately for Nintendo, they are not creatively bankrupt when it comes to crafting and designing video game experiences so they can keep pumping out Mario games like this while also satisfying their audience. Sometimes it really is less about a game being a "new IP" or having original characters and it's more about pushing boundaries with what has already been established.

The fact that this game was not a launch title is a travesty.

Man, this game has really been impressing me since the last Nintendo Direct.
NSMBU only saves after towers, ghost houses, and castles until you beat the game. You can do quick saves anywhere until then and then save anywhere after beating the game.
3D Land autosaves after beating a level.
I prefer manual saves because sometimes I just wanna play through some levels for fun and then revert to my previous save to regain my powerups.
Hopefully this follows 3D Land then, hate not being able to just quit the game without having to worry about losing progress.
Manual saves are great but not the way Nintendo does it imo.

My hype for this game has gone nuclear, in fact if this isn't a top 5 game all-time, I'll be disappointed. Crazy, but I can feel it. Bought a Wii U this weekend in anticipation.

I was just a little taken aback by how noticeable it is in some of these shots. The game does look rather nice in motion though, so it's no big deal.

Can't wait. The game looks gorgeous.

no. Im just saying by default the game wont look like that. You have to modify the cam yourself and I have no idea how cumbersome that will be and if the game will even play right with the camera pulled in that close since the levels are designed so that you have a wide view from further away.
Not that I have anything against "real" autosaves, but I don't really get the beef people have with quick saves. Unless you get a game over, isn't it basically the same thing? And with lives handed out like candy on Halloween as they are in NSMB... does anyone ever game over?
The Wii U has great and quality games now so make sure to take a look at the Wii U Games Thread while you wait for 3D World.
I was just referencing to the comments made by Miyamoto.

I love quicksaves, my beef with how it's done in NSMB is the fact that you have to save yourself or beat a tower otherwise it just doesn't save or show an option to save so at times i will quit the game and lose progress because the game does not have an autosave feature (to my knowledge.)
And yes i know this is partly my own stupidity for forgetting to save.
nah, not accurate
Ahh ok, I gotcha. Yeah I can see how that could be a problem, especially for people who are used to games auto-saving.

Doesn't the "quick save" in NSMBU mean that you can't quick save in any other games? Like the Wii U only holds one "quick save" at a time?
If that is the case it is a bad, bad system. I think it should auto save after every level. Sometimes I don't feel like/have the time to play 3-4 levels to get to a save point.
