Guys, guys, I just need a confirmation Bowser is _not_ the antagonist this time around! Please, so I can sleep well tonight.

 

[Currygan]

ahahaha best ever

 

[Katsuragi]

I can't stop laughing.

 

[ohlawd]

Bit odd that Nintendo has pretty much all the good games to themselves this season but none of the hype. :/

I didn't expect any better tbh. Even if Nintendo went all out and put out like a 10/10 game every week from Sep-Dec, things still wouldn't pick up. They're done.

 

[batman2million]

Context, please?

 

[Saint Gregory]

Oh wow! I have a meeting in a few minutes but I can't stop laughing!

 

[RedSwirl]

Who's avatar is this supposed to be?

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

I don't get the joke. Why is the gif funny?

 

[Javier]

As expected, Nintendo did not disappoint with Mario.

Friday can't come soon enough.

BitBlocks review isn't up yet but it seems like it wont be quite as glowing as these other reviews based on this comment.

Not surprised based on this gem from the same person.

Beat it in 8 hours, levels are quite short, multiplayer is kind of pointless.

I don't get the joke. Why is the gif funny?

Avatar of user who trolled every SM3DW thread, lurking in the crowd type of gif.

 

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

Why can't I see this gif everyone is quoting?

 

[Sendou]

For those wondering about the .gif:

SpielerEins, a GAF user, is the biggest 3D World gamewhining champ on GAF and predicted how shitty the game is going to be in every single 3D World related thread

That is his avatar and then there's the story behind the original gif.

 

[cyberheater]

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

Yeah. I'll certainly be keeping my eye on them from now on.

 

[Nibel]

 

[Currygan]

that's SpielerEins' avatar; he trolled the game hard since E3 and kept doing so even when expectations took a huge turnaround

 

[Kouriozan]

Ah...this one is purrfect.

 

[KHlover]

I don't get the joke. Why is the gif funny?

Search for SpielerEins.

Read some of his posts.

Come back.

Laugh until your tears start running.

 

[Outtrigger888]

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.

Agreed. My conspiracy theorist in me wants to think that hes waiting to post his review tomorrow, so it can get more attention, after all the day one reviews flow in. That he'll give it a low score, to top it off, for maximum clicks.

Or...something else, haha.

 

[Coolwhip]

I don't get the joke. Why is the gif funny?

1. Check Spieler Eins post history
2. Cringe
3. Shake head in disgust
4. Laugh at gif

 

[Zalman]

I was waiting for one of these!

 

[paul187]

The consensus is definitely higher than what I expected.

Imagine what's gonna happen when real 3D Mario comes out.

 

[gamergirly]

Nevermind that

 

[Malus]

I'm surprised by TheBitBlock considering Josh Thomas gave 3D Land a 9.5/10.

 

[Snkfanatic]

Replace "Nintendo Directs" with "games"

AH man this still kills me. The "Lets a go" is so amazing

 

[Porcile]

There can't of been too many games where reviewers simply have nothing to put in a negative points list. I guess despite all the moaning and grumbling about their lack of ambition/whatever, you just have to take a step back and genuinely admire the gaming experiences Nintendo have crafted and refined over nearly 30 Years. There's really no other creative institution like them.

 

[LakeEarth]

Just checked out this thread. Wow! Great shit Nintendo.

 

[illmatic22]

So the journos dont hate Nintendo anymore

Game looks dope, 3D Mario can do no wrong in my eyes.

Multiplayer "pointless"???

It's to have fun and ummmmmm.......beat your friends' scores.

The multiplayer looks leagues beyond NSMB just because of the scoring and the crown and that you can attack others.

 

[kittens]

Holy shit, those scores. I couldn't possibly be any more excited for this game, but it's good to see that's in been so well received.

3D World's greatest strength lies in the boundless creativity on display. Each level offers a new challenge, a fresh surprise, an unexpected twist on the Mario formula, and there's vastly more content to the game than you'd think at first glance. I could enumerate at length the many ideas and inventions that characterize the game's stages, but the joy is in discovery. My advice: Experience it for yourself.

I think it was completely fair to doubt this game after the e3 direct. What they showed was pretty bland and uninspired. I'm very glad to be wrong about the game, but it makes me nervous that they might do the same thing with 3D Zelda at next year's e3 (assuming it's there).

 

[InsaneZero]

I don't need to be laughing this hard at work, people are looking at me funny

 

[RobFox64tm]

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.

Had my PC gamer friend call my Wii U a toy this past weekend; I would assume because it doesn't have a lot of those types of games on it. I can't help but think that the game and its content doesn't change the fact that all video games are inherently toys by definition. I mean is it more pathetic for a grown man to play with a toy, or for a grown man to play with a toy while pretending it isn't so? It's those insecurities that really play into these ignorant trends. Some people just need to grow up.

 

[oatmeal]

Wow, like an hour and a half later double post. :\

EAD is in a league of it's own.

 

[zroid]

How long till this image goes up on Nintendo's facebook page?

 

[Lordwindowlicker]

I am buying this the moment Gamestop opens on Friday. So much want.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Good on them. Will be buying this whenever I get a WiiU.

 

[metalslimer]

Yeah. I'll certainly be keeping my eye on them from now on.

At the very least EAD Tokyo will always make a good-great game. For all the doubts I had about the game, i don't think i ever thought it would be bad.

 

[Saint Gregory]

C'mon now, everyone thought the game looked like crap the first time it was shown. But by the time the ND trailer was released a few months ago any doubt about the game should have disappeared.

EAD Tokyo... the legend continues.

So midnight!? (guessing they're gonna do a midnight opening for Xbone)

Lol I don't know maybe Josh Thomas doesn't have friends.

Mine is.

Yep. If you have a WiiU. It's a must have on the system. Such a pity they couldn't have launched with this game. Things would have been hugely different if they had.

this needs to be tweeted to TBB

Well, here's his reaction to the Iwata Asks thread, lol:

Holy shit, a whole page dedicated to straight up lying and bs marketing to all people that actually wanted a game on the same level of ambition as SMG :lol
Good to see they noticed the feedback though. Now all that's needed are subpar sales like for the generic NSMBU and they might just go back making a Mario on par with the series' legacy next gen.

Also, seems like the rumoured new Miyamoto IP will be done at Tokyo, unless the translation isn't well done. Hopefully that's where their real efforts went.

 

[Sendou]

C'mon now, everyone thought the game looked like crap the first time it was shown.

I didn't. Yet the more stuff they showed the more promising it got.

 

[foxuzamaki]

ALL THOSE TENS
