Haha.
 
I can understand being underwhelmed at the reveal (Nintendo really needs to get better at hyping games), but I don't see how you can doubt the recent footage that this would be great.

Its not just reviewers, though, its a lot of gamers as well. A lot of people went apeshit on Ebert for his opinion that video games are not art. People went all hyperbolic at that Miyamoto quote that many developers secretly want to be moviemakers.

I can appreciate interactive movie games. Fuck, I love 999 and the Ace Attorney series, which are similar in style. I just think its comical that some people take offense to a developer that wants to do nothing more than make damn fine incredible video games.

Thank you EAD Tokyo.

Yeah I play and like those games as well, I just hate how "gamey"-games constantly gets looked down upon because they do not "evoke mature emotions" or whatever bullshit the newest presentation-heavy movie-game does.

I didn't think the recent footage looked that good but I saw a twitch stream of it today and that convinced me. It looked like a really fun game to play.

This game probably marks the start of turn around in Wii U's fortunes.

But, its MarioKart 8 that Sony/M$ should be concerned about. That game is going to be massive.

Haha, lets not get carried away here shall we?

I hate that week when this shit was posted.

New thread for new news.

From Josh Thomas (TheBitBlock):

@Matt_Beres Around 8.

@beardedgamer93 The game is fairly easy.

Update: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=89124832&postcount=445

This shit worried us for days. I was actually questioning the game and I feel very ashamed for that. Screw you Josh.

The game is more than 8 hours with post game content and difficult.

The metric by which Super Mario 3D World is measured @ Escapist is laughable - it's like they tried to find negative points



Multiplayer is completely optional and the second point is just

wat

Which is best ?

Bowser still a villain as negative point or ...

Yes, the man's a god.

On top of being involved with the best Nintendo games, he's also responsible for Peach being playable, has gone on record stating that he wanted to appeal to both genders, AND came up with Rosalina's backstory in Galaxy on his own.

We're not worthy.

I didn't know about that, brilliant stuff.

Also Mario is amazing like usual...

I'm pretty sure Gamespot had very few complaints about 3D Land and then gave it an 8. Honestly forget the review scores. Every review is overhwhelmingly positive

Also in a year with amazing gifs that has to be one of the top ones.

Repeated for the new page.

My tea tonight...

To be fair a lot of people started munching on black flying creatures a while back. I was one of the people disappointed after the first reveal of the game...although I started my crow diet during the last couple of months when the amazing screenshots and videos first started appearing.

I'm not going to doubt EAD Tokyo 1 again lol

Seriously though.. He seems like he's on a crusade against the game on Twitter. I can appreciate that you might not like Mario games at all, but if you are reviewing a game you should try to dig a little bit deeper then rushing through the main story, barely playing any multiplayer (based on his "pointless" tweet) and then giving it a low score.

I don't really mind the Gamespot thing. A game doesn't need to have any notable flaws for it not to be a 10. "not being fun enough to give it a 10" isn't really something that can be put in the negative section.
 
BitBlocks review isn't up yet but it seems like it wont be quite as glowing as these other reviews based on this comment.

Can't say anything until I play the game, but there's always someone nowadays who doesn't like a given "9+" game. He's entitled to his opinion, but it is really difficult to bifurcate between sites doing it just for clicks, and sites legitimately assessing the critical factors of games.

Man, I'm not a huge Mario fan (I've only ever really enjoyed Mario 64, and even then I preferred Banjo Kazooie), but I might have to pick this up. Looks fantastic, dogs are better than cats though.
