So here's what the Wii Mario game will be like.

As far as level design ideology goes, it will share many elements with the "old school" levels of Sunshine. More linear progression is the keyword here, linear progression instead of open subworlds with several 'missions' in each. When it comes down to the actual shape and feel of the levels, obviously they will be shaped around the wiimote and entirely around the wiimote. Whatever funky moves Miyamoto has come up with will decide how the obstacles will be. Undoubtedly they'll open for great fun and never-before-seen platform dynamics.

Note I'm not saying it will "be like" the fludd-less levels in sunshine, just that it takes it's linearity and 3d-ness with it and develops it into something entirely unique. The look? Probably much more fleshed out than those levels of SMS I mentioned above. I'm thinking it will be a full-fledged mushroom kingdom-ish universe... basically envision the 2D marios and make them 3D, only more intricate (and yet again; not wide-open like SM64).
What will this give us: Linearity limits movement and enables miyamoto and his team to create a level experience tightly around the funky control methods... and enabling a game where - when players have become experienced - you'll be able to achieve that great flow, rushing through a level with precise and carefully planned moves, something half-way lost in the open-ended 3d universe of SM64 and SMS.

Anyway, that's my prediction and I feel it's a very likely path..

I fully believe the biggest opportunity Nintendo missed on the Gamecube would have been a full game of those fludd-less Sunshine minilevels. Get about a hundred of them (obviously with a bit more variety than in Sunshine), divide them thematically into worlds, slap on a "plot" and you've got yourself an amazingly fun game. Sigh... maybe on the next gameboy.

Anyway, I digress, and wouldn't be too surprised to see this sort of progression in the series, but it depends entirely upon what sort of basic game mechanics Nintendo's got going on for the game, whether they lend themselves well to a free-roaming game or not.

That picture ("The Revolution is Just Around the Corner") is from this year? That sign said the SAME thing last year.


Apparently theyre still waiting... someone should tell them to update it:

"The Wii is just around the Corner"

er, I could translate 90% of all games from English to French, by myself, in about 2 days. The translation excuse is weak and not valid
Yes, because translating text doesn't require more testing, script-writing, or production of new discs, not to mention the games needing to conform to other standards than those in the US or Japan.

Companies should just hire the people who do fan subs for animes. Yea, there might be a few more cuss words, but we'll get the games faster.

Wow. Is there going to be a new thread for the conference, or is Amirox going to update P. 1? I hope there's a new therad, because the information value of a thread this size is not particularly great in terms of finding key info if you haven't been an active participant from the start.

I'm not sure, but I figure there will be at some point :) ... and then it will require hunting and pecking to find the appropriate page, after the various "OMG I'M SO EXCITED" posts. I suppose the same goes for the other early posts...

No search functions gonna hurt too. I predict a summary on every page!
 
When you think that in few hours, a world of megatons, fakes and rumours will be bringed to his end within one single hour. l think I'll miss the monthly [insertsomething]-ton...at least until the next hardware transition, when I'll, once again, damn the little hide-and-seek game played by some way too secretive videogame companies...
I'm such a nerd :( .

Just to let people know, a blog-like section has been created on Everything and Nothing, and we are hoping to cover most of the major news over E3 on there, with plenty of screen shots and so on which can be linked to use on GAF and other message boards, and obviously you're all free to drop by if GAF and some of the other bigger sites are struggling with traffic.

The URL is:
