Super Mario 3D World: New Trailer

I hope Ninty is prepared for the digital release, those servers will explode the minute it is released. I have to stop looking at this videos, makes the wait very painful.

Anyone have an clue how long this has been in development? Just a ball park number, I am concerned about the content and length.

I really hope it is filled to the brim with features and content and it is long. It just looks so fun.

Please no... I found the mega mushroom to be a huge gimic, and didn't add anything to the game. the mini mushroom however was super fun, wouldn't mind seeing that...

no reason it can't be used more effectively in this game, though

I did, I'm saying you have to get to the top of the flagpole with either Mario or Luigi. Not both.

Oh, top of the flagpole. Yes you seem to be right. But you do have to beat every level with both of them. I think I just did the flagpole for both to be save and not miss anything.

My WiiU just arrived!!! Time to plug it in and begin the update process. Then it is on to WWHD goodness. Feel like a little kid again - my wife laughed at me when I opened the box this morning.

I don't think I've ever 180d as hard on any game as this ever. It's gone from 'fuck that' to being the only game I want to play at the moment.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Does NOT make me want to buy a Wii U.

I would have loved that when I was 11 though.

I've gone from "maybe I'll pick it up some time next year" to "DAY ONE" now. I never doubted EAD but recent footage has made it clear I need to play this asap. Can't wait to see more.

You'll love it again when you grow up. I'm 32 now, but I had that period in life when I was too cool for school too.

... and the best news is that once you've stopped trying to distance yourself from childish things, you'll never again lose your taste for pure fun. I'm 45 and looking forward to SM3DW with feverish interest.

My only problem with this game is the EU launch date just happens to be the same day the PS4 comes out so my brain will almost certainly melt trying to work out which to play first.

Bowser Jr. >>> Koopa Kids

Always and forever

Before NSMBU I would have disagreed with you, but Bowser Jr. had by far the best boss fights in that game.

Not until Gametrailers gets with the times and ditches flash.

Now look at this:

Finishing each stage with each character secret unlock confirmed? At every least everyone has their own flag icon. It's missing an indicator for who has already finished the level before like in 3D Land (was hidden at the bottom of the screen). So unless that displays somewhere else it might just indicate who the player used to finish the stage with last.

Might just be to indicate who you beat it with. We do know that gold flags are back, which seems kinda pointless with the cat powerup. Should have made it so you can't get a gold flag if you climb the pole.

I was facing the same problem. I canceled my PS4 pre-order this morning. Problem solved :D
 
Old?

ONM spotted the Comet Observatory from Mario Galaxy in this (wonderful) piece of 3D World artwork. Also 9 other things.

Even the girl boom boom is recycled as if these boss fights weren't worthless enough already, and (as one could have already feared) the awful NSMB world theme tropes now also make it into this series.

*facepalm

Pretty telling that the best parts in there are superficial throwbacks to Mario 64 and Galaxy.

Sarcasm? It's sad that it's hard to tell.

Dont you guys know, its instantly a bad game if it has anything NSMB did. Snow levels? Wow copying NSMB. A timer? NSMB invented that. Mario can JUMP in this game? Wow CLEAR inspiration from NSMB, this game is going to be so garbage

is that a volcano off in the distance?? wow forget how 64, sunshine, and galaxy all had volcano stages, NSMB did too so this game is gonna suck hard

So we've got a boss fight on a highway fighting Bowser's car, some tanks, a Bullet train, possibly a shipwreck, so what else? A tropical cruise liner, an aeroplane, a roller coaster? *giddy*

Even Bowser is recycled! Even Mario is recycled! Even platforming genre is recycled! Even red, blue and green are recycled! Even the 12 notes on a musical scale are recycled for the soundtrack! Even the game case is recycled!

I WANT DEH BRAND NEU

Should've listened to Brera and turned it into a "new cat game IP"

It sure feels great not being like you.
 
What do you mean by spirit?
Super Mario 64 is more of an adventure game than a straight-up platformer. This trend continued and ended with Super Mario Sunshine.3DLand and World are straight up platformers. I think people want to see another 3D adventure Mario game.

I want to see the ideas of SM64 and Sunshine expanded on, too, but I loved 3DLand and 3D World looks even better.

Damn this game looks amazing. I should never doubt this team again.

Also...I can't stop seeing the cat tail at the end of the logo as an "S". Super Mario 3D WorldS
 
The level numbers have definitely switched from E3. 1-5 is now Switch Scramble Circus instead of Sea Serpent Ride (probably 1-4 since it's between Switch Scramble and Mount Beanpole).
I think people were putting too much stock in the level numbers at E3. Especially as a means to criticize.

I don't know why this track got so much hate at E3. It's very "Mario", and sounds great. Upbeat and with nice instrumentation.

Its a grower and not really trailer material imo. I had to listen to a few 8bit remixes before it really clicked with me. It has that "Short, memorable, and you can listen to it on repeat for hours" vibe the NES Marios were forced to have by necessity of limited music space.
At the same time, I dont know if its the most grabbing theme to use in a trailer (the big band theme in the latest trailer is a perfect choice in contrast). I felt the same way about the 3D Land theme which is great to listen to on its own, but feels limp when used in a trailer meant to excite.
