That's the one amazing thing with the Switch actually. Virtually, any game, like this one, could have LAN multi with different consoles. They should use that a lot, maybe create mini games like in mario 64 ds.

Yeah im also surprised 3d world had the more detailed model. Mariokart models had so much life and expression to them. Maybe the shader work on mario kart was better or something. But i was definitely more impressed by the models in kart.
All comes down to art direction at the end of the day. Kart may habe simpler geometry and such, but it seems more accurate in game
There is also nothing controversial about showing a small software teaser in a hardware commercial. You're really making up the problem in your head as you go. Even if you don't like it, it won't affect the game in any shape or form. You will get your proper reveal, don't worry dude.
Suddenly I imagined "ahora sí te descalabro los cachetes Bowser" in Charles Martinet's voice, what have you done!?.
Yes indeed, different.

Mario Galaxy was announced like this, too. It's not a big deal. This game will get the attention it deserves.

You're making this weird ass narrative for yourself dude, I don't know what to tell ya.
Were you not around for the Wii reveal?
Galaxy was first shown in the exact same way.

Wait I thought that was the Wii U, I haven't heard about the Switch supporting two screens at once
though I haven't been keeping up with details too much.

Was "ezploration" a typo or a portmanteau of "easy exploration" (i.e., walking around without a sense of danger or tension)?
Plus sunshine had that weird off screen beta trailer

Its an unfinished Mario game dude
I'd stake my entire account on that this effect, clearly ripped straight from 3DW, is just a placeholder
It would be a world where Mario 64's camera controls and level design aren't amazing.

hopefully this game is not set just in a mexican theme land didn't like it with isla delfino made all the levels looks too much the same i prefer variety like the other games.
That. On a handheld.
Stolen from another Switch post.
Looks great. Mario64 successor? I'm there.
I am ready.

I love how we analyze four seconds of video. The game looks great!
To be clear, i'm not saying this will have any impact on either the quality of the games or the sales. It's just puzzling that Nintendo would treat one of their most esteemed titles as a mere afterthought. There's nothing wrong with bringing that up.
Answer my question: do you feel it would have been totally fine if Disney released the first ever snippets of TFA in some random vid that was spliced in with other random Disney movies?
Uh...yes i'm aware that was the case with SMG and I addressed that on the last page. And that's exactly my point. SMG was in some ways even worse since it was the first proper Mario game in 5 years, and since it was coming after one of the most disappointing Mario games ever, some would argue that it was actually more than a 10 year break from the last Mario game.
We've spent pages dissecting a four second clip. This game will still get plenty of deserved respect and attention the moment they show an official trailer.
If anything, they just got a head-start on building the hype because we're now anticipating a big blow-out, just like Zelda got with BotW.

Looking at these clips, I'm pretty sure these both take place in the same location / level.
- The frozen/ice imagery is common in both.
- The building far in the distance in the first clip looks a lot like the building on the left hand side in the second clip which would mean you travel around it at some point (the horizontally layered stonework in the brick helps hint at this.)
-The ground in both clips is the same reddish brown color.
I'm not sure what this says about the structure of the game, but this one area itself shows quite a bit of visual/ environmental variation.
I don't know why people keep thinking this. Look at 3DW:

When Nintendo shows a Mario game, it's about as close to the final product as it can be.

If the dive returns then we're truly back in business, controls wise. Galaxy kinda babied you with the spin, I wanna see more control return for Mario. At the expense of slightly less demanding level design, perhaps.

lol are you serious? this is a cartoon dust cloud from somebody running fast a la a Bugs Bunny short. it's a stylistic flare that doesn't exist in real life. this is like demanding realism from a cartoon.
If they have any sense they'll aggressively support single cart multiplayer.

Those ice blocks are eventually going to be melted right? The more l think about it the more the concept of switching entire levels makes sense. Like in this level the town's fountain is covered in ice. What if the NPCs ask you to fix this so you start exploring to find a way to help them and somehow you end up melting all the ice in the level. This means that the massive ice mountains we see could create lakes you could swim in to access otherwise out of reach areas; or an ice block that covered the entrance of a cavern melts away and now you can explore the grotto. There's quite a lot of potential l think. Of course l'm just rambling based on 20 seconds of footage don't mind me.

Nah son, this is what neoGAF is for. Let your inner demons out here so they don't spill out into the real world
I did not even address that point because that "comparison" has absolutely no thought behind it and makes no sense.
You just can't compare marketing for a movie which can be viewed by attending the cinema to gaming software which is there to sell you on the actual gaming hardware.
Pretty sure it was the same in 3D World.
Dude, you're making this way more complicated than it actually is. Proper trailers are the norm, not the exception. This applies whether if it's for a movie, or video game. Square-Enix, Capcom, Activision, Sony, Microsoft, everyone makes proper trailers, and have been for years.
Why is this so hard to understand?

Except for all the 3D ones that didn't have 3D in their names
SM64's release looks better than the betas and demoes
Sunshine... I mean you read the thread
SMG clearly improved aesthetically following its first reel footage
SMG2 followed up on SMG with an underwhelming trailer featuring HORRID MIDI MUSIC of all things
Nintendo is a console maker. As a console maker they are obviously going to show off a new game for their mascot in the reveal trailer for their brand new console. Holding back on Mario when they had footage of it would make absolutely no sense.

So do Nintendo, they just didn't make it yet. Nintendo announced Zelda like 2 years ago and only just released the first real trailer for it a few months ago. I'm guessing we'll see the first real look into the game in the coming months, but for now they wanted to tease the audience instead of not showing anything at all. I'd say it was a fair compromise, clearly it got the hardcore crowd talking. I'm definitely more interested in the system now that I got to see firsthand that yes, they're making a new Mario game and yes, it looks much more inspired by the other 3D games in the series than 3D Land or World did.
because it's silly

Dude practically just placed 3D World on Other M's level for the sake of his argument, as though the whole world reciprocates his disappointment for the game to the extent that it shouldn't be considered to have even existed at all
Sounds like a silly billy to me

I hope Nintendo follow through with the Mexican theming in this game ala Sunshine with its tropical theme. I love 3D World to death, but visual-wise it is very bland and uninspired in comparison to the other 3D Marios. Sunshine made you feel like you were actually in a locale, not just suspended over an endless skybox. I'm hoping this game goes back to that, but I wouldn't be too upset to get something a bit linear too. I'm open to almost anything.

Really like what they showed. It's short, but it's a return to a more dynamic camera unlike the 3D World one as well as more traditional 3D Mario movement with the triple jump and a new long jump. All with really nice animations and a great art style.
Looks like MK8 as a platformer, which is basically what I wanted out of the 3D Mario team for years now

Nah, there is nothing complicated about it; rather you make it look complicated.
For the last time: they teased some new games from known properties (one of them being the new Mario) to primarily sell you on their console, not to sell you on the new Mario game.
When they want to sell you on the new Mario game, then they will properly reveal and talk about it.
Well mario 3d world wasnt split screen...everyone was on the same screen and the camera would just pan out.
Would love a 2 player mario bros game where mario and luigi can explore stages seperately

That's what I initially wanted for 3D World before it was announced, although what I got instead ruled anyway. I'd be fully in for that on this, I can see it happening if they utilize the 2 screens well. I'd love that. If you could each collect stars on the same file & shit, that'd be awesome
If they're not ice then why is the level full of ice crystals floating in the air and why are they covered in steam like they're melting in the hot desert sun?

Big Mario fanboy right here so i am definitely pumped for any new Mario game, but i think that graphically speaking it's not what i'd call a looker from that tiny glimpse today. I was wishing that i'd be blown away... silly me.

I can't believe people are so frustrated the new Mario was revealed this way. We were told the Switch reveal would be a 3 minute teaser. We aren't getting any more info till next year. Mario Galaxy debuted the exact same way (seconds of gameplay shown with footage of someone playing a Wii). We should be happy we saw anything. Mario Galaxy turned out fine. We'll be fine

I love the stealth drop. They showed one level. It's EAD Tokyo, it's going to be a treat to see and play (and listen to, presumably).

It's going to be amazing. I think I may be more hyped for this than I am for BOTW and that's saying a lot
