I agree with this which makes me very curious to see the N6's launch line up. Even as someone who intends to get the console eventually I wouldn't get GTA5 for it if it was out at launch because I already have a ps3. This may be a problem Nintendo faces with early ports and multi-platform releases.
Edit: Oops, wrong thread, my bad.

Did people really not like Super Paper Mario that much that they don't even consider its existence?

I feel the same way but let's be honest we're whores and if there is ONE Nintendo property that will forever be on repeat, and we'll suffer it because we're gaming whores, it's Mario.
I so do wish Nintendo would not feel the drive to attach every concept to one of their properties... it's the biggest flaw with the company
I'm pretty sure he was more surprised about the idea of them being out within the same year as each other and both within the first year of the 3DS' launch.SamBishop said:
Oh and they do release new franchises, but they get forgotten about the moment a classic franchise game is announced.
BGBW said:
They're usually forgotten because almost certainly they're embarrassing low budget affairs outsourced to some C-team
Most people are intelligent enough to understand when they're getting half-assed efforts. We want new franchises from the Mario and Zelda team with a substantial marketing/development budget so it has a chance to live. Not that announce and then release two days later shit Nintendo was so fond of during the Wii gen.
BGBW said:
Naw it was franchise disenfranchisement. Jeezus, that was a weird pair of words to type. I'm fucking sick of recycling. As Amirox said, I will probably buy them, but that's because I look for advancement in the franchise and not only are we stuck with the same stupid group of franchises, but in years they have been... inconsistent in giving us something new with that same shit we already bought.
I'm not blind anymore, Nintendo. I want something new, given full support from the company and made to the same standards as the core titles. It's not even funny anymore; you give us the same games over and over again and they are good so there's no huge outcry (fine, maybe Sunshine), but this is horseshit. I grew up on your games, on your system, and while I was happily entertained elsewhere, I came back to the NES because it had great games from everyone.
You don't get that luxury anymore. You have had three generations of shitty third-party games and a new system that lets you get three-way ports with benefits isn't pushing things forward. I know there's more, I know you are tugging at the edges of the spectrum for a games audience. I get that.
STOP. FUCKING. WITH. US. OLD. FOGEYS.
NEW. New. new. NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!

Again? Meh, 3/10 effort.
Dude, we get it, you're gunning down for that "jizz of gold" tag but you're trying waaaaay to hard at tagfishing and there's no need to keep at it in every goddamn post, GAF overlords are not that dumb.
Back to the drawing 6" touchboard for ya

Hey, they have their chance to do it now. It's their fault for letting the opportunity pass them by. >=I

it was like this in the 80s and early 90s. we got about 7 real mario games in an 8 year time span from 1985-1993.
and then super mario 64 and super mario sunshine were the only new real mario games for 13 years
i call it making up for lost time. and it's nowhere near as bad as what happened to zelda from 2000-2007.

Licorice-flavoured booze?
Lets hope we at least get more than one Mario plat-former on the 3DS, still can't believe we only got one on the DS.

Nintendo:
Wait forMario kart Super Mario.
Wait for
Yeah, some of it is a little half-arsed, some of it isn't even targeting us. Their strategy on short term noticed also wasn't very bright when most of the gaming press was ignoring them which is why I'm never surprised when people honestly think Nintendo hasn't released anything beyond Mario and Zelda.Amir0x said:
As a fan of quirky games I don't mind the B-tier titles that are released, but I can understand why others see the need for a new AAA brand. Nintendo just has to figure out how to capture the media who are the most guilty for asking where the new Mario game is whenever they announce a non-Mario title. Just look at the 3DS launch where some journalists insisted that even the AR games have to include Mario. I'm glad Nintendo included something like Face Raiders with the system as that is a breath of fresh air in this current climate. And no, I'm not suggesting that Face Raiders is Nintendo's answer to the lack of new brands, despite how good it is.
Guess I'm still a little mad that great games like Rhythm Heaven/Paradise/Tengoku Gold were completely overlooked by the media in favour of yet another Guitar Hero or Rock band.

I also share this view. SMB3 had a far superior aesthetic.
2 years plus is more likely. People forget so easily that SMG2 was missing many of the key members of SMG1's development -- EAD Tokyo has two teams by now. The second team worked on another game while the other team developed SMG2. That other game is most likely Mario 3D. If not, well, then we are going to see quite an awesome Mario game for Wii 2 at E3.AceBandage said:

Eh, I can see how one could feel that way. The only thing that looks off to me is the sprites for Mario and some of the enemies (like the Goombas, although SMW Koopas are the definitive 2D version for me.)
As for the music and backgrounds/tilesets, they're absolutely gorgeous and they still inspire me to this day:
Something about the art just to me.... promised a kind of wide-open adventure. I understand people like the Mario + kingdom kind of approach to things where things were kind of story-bookish, but I love SMW because I look at the backgrounds and I'm filled with an excitement for the unknown. The game feels almost infinitely vast to me because of its art (and many, many secrets.) It wasn't until like three years ago I even found out about Soda Lake. It's a game that keeps on giving.

You mean the joke involving Yoshi and betrayal was lost on you before that? Wow.

No but it was funnier to me as Mario saving himself by ditching Yoshi instead of ditching him to get to a new level.
Also it may have been like 5 years ago before I ever saw that image, I don't remember.
Another secret I learned of last week was that there's a Moon in the first level of the game, only accessible through using the cape. It's what inspired the first image I posted.

They tried that with Steel Diver.
Not a total slam on that game but I'll take Marios up the asshole if this is how it plays out.

I can see a sequel packing more content being awesome, but as it stands now do you really think the game qualifies as a full-fledged effort from Nintendo?
EDIT: omg. The tail. It's THE tail.

Holy Order Sol said:
Nah, you're right.
But the game was in the making or the idea was for years and years and years, it's not like it was a quickly thrown together concept.
I just hope they DO make a sequel to it, many seem to like it and it obviously could be much better with more content.
My comment was less of a slam on that game and more of "nothing wrong with sequels to the best of the best game series" though it might not have seemed to indicate that.

Welp, if that and Mario Kart happens this year I might not be able to wait for a revision afterall.

It's only partly related, but reading the article reminded me of this:

It might be already done. Nintendo came out and said that a lot of 3DS games have been in development for a while and some of them are already at the end of their development but they're holding them back to release accordingly. If Mario Kart and Super Mario 3DS come out this year there is no way in hell they'd also release Paper Mario. I feel though if Super Mario 3DS gets delayed, we'll just get another awesome Nintendo game(animal crossing, paper mario, etc)Amir0x said:I pretty much think it's going to be delayed but if not
fuck yeah a game I really want this year
I don't think Paper Mario is making this year at all.

I would definitely like to see a more open world spin on Galaxy's mechanics, even though I prefer mostly linear platformers. EAD Tokyo can make it work.
