Yeah Mario is such a great character! My kids really like the outdated 80s design, want to be plumbers and are totally into cubism... And I bought an Ipad because I love apples.

he was a rip-off of Popeye, that's whyGravijah said:
Core gamers keep up with news like this, and that's who Nintendo's aiming for with 3DS and Wii U. That's also who will buy Wii U at launch. Now, that core fanbase knows the controller is fundamentally flawed and they'll hold off on buying a Wii U until they're sure that there are no issues. That could mean a bad launch.hardcastle_mccormick said:

Wait, what, nothing you're saying contradicts what I'm saying. Miyamoto worked on both SMB2/TLL and SMB2/DDP. Tezuka worked with him on SMB2/TLL. Tanabe directed SMB2/DDP which Miyamoto also worked on. I have always heard in everything I've read that Miyamoto spent more time working on DDP than he did on TLL. If this is not the case, it doesn't change anything.
SMB2/DDP is just as much an internal Nintendo game as SMB2/TLL was. That was my point.

Do you think, based on your aggregate record posting here, and maybe on other forums, that you might sometimes jump the gun a little bit or be prone to hyperbole?
If so, do you think it's possible this could be one of the times?

Videogames are 10% ideas, 90% execution. Nintendo gets all the credit in my eyes, if this is even true.

Do you honestly believe this? Have you even played the game for a significant amount of time?
It's only one of the greatest gaming achievements ever created. It's brilliantly perfect in what it does and how it does it.

'actually, my younger sister loves the mario design. i've always wondered how his design has held up so well.'
Maybe she likes the design, but the reason people keep buying the games is that they are actually good. Brain associates visuals, sounds to pleasure. Creates neuronal pathways and generates addiction.
As long as you are not disappointed again and again, this will go on forever.

Miyamoto really meant when he said they could of made Halo
"Yeah we coulda bought Halo and passed it off as our own but we didn't want to spend money that day"

3D Mario has always been meh, so I'm willing to believe.
I can't comment on Pikmin because I only played the first one so briefly.

Means nothing. He could have heard about the second analog stick and used it to sell his other bullshit.

Just because a design isn't new doesn't mean it's "outdated". WTF would Mario look like if he were first made today? Would be he as well received and recognized? Do kids dislike the way Mario looks?dairladada said:
If people still love the design then its clearly not outdated. Its like saying Mickey is outdated and that they should pump him full of coolness and make him edgy like they did Sonic ...

Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Lol.
Seriously?
Lol.
There may be some truth to this (what games companies don't do prototypes or acquire shit they like, and how is it a bad thing?) but "added Mario and its friends, tweaked a thing or two, and... Here was Mario Galaxy!" is just too funny. Yep, they bought a prototype, added Mario, and called it a day. No effort, 10 million sales, vacation time! Christ...
And people are calling people out as super defensive fanboys for stating how ridiculous that shit is? Oh man.
Go play the game, it's merticulously crafted from start to finish as a Mario title through and through, from the biggest planet to the smallest rock or blade of grass.
It's no third party prototype with Mario on top...
Seriously?

Let's see, a deluge of articles in a matter of days from an undisclosed source all slanted towards sowing doubt about Nintendo's inability to make timely decisions. Gee, I wonder how someone could read an agenda into that.erragal said:
Speaking of extrapolating, and a lack of reading comprehension...erragal said:
All these articles read so tabloidy.
More like someone from outside Nintendo looking in and speculating from a disgruntled with Nintendo's direction point of view.
Join a few of the dots and leave everyone else to do the rest. They are all playing into pre-existing lines-of-thought on the Internet. Interesting to see what the next 2 days throw up, but yeah massive pinches of salt.

I could be wrong, but I think he meant to say "There are so many people already pointing to the 3DS rumor as if it were already proven fact," and because these are all from the same source, the jumpiness.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Okay, maybe there's not much, but I find this rumor, Nintendo not flat-out denying the rumor, the Monster Hunter Tri G rumor, and the upcoming conference to be way too much of a coincidence to ignore.DaSorcerer7 said:
Aside from that, Carmack's loss of enthusiasm with Wii U would be explained perfectly by development issues.
I know that I'm a paranoid person, but the fact of the matter is that where there's smoke, there's fire. There's one too many things lining up to dismiss anything.

This site should be banned, they posted a batshit insane rumor that makes no sense (a joystick can't be retrofit into a current 3DS, who doesn't have bluetooth nor external expansion ports through wired means) and this article shrouded with accusative speculation is also a load of bullcrap, clearly.
Of course Mario Galaxy didn't invent gravity in video games (Nintendo was way late to that party), and of course stuff like that had been tried before:
And suggested in fiction:
But that doesn't mean they took the idea from it. That's like wondering how Okami and Twilight Princess had a wolf to it. Nintendo had the idea in 2004, Capcom also probably had it around that timeframe.
They're obviously loving the Nintendo related traffic.

Mario would not be done today, that's my point. People don't like Mario games because you put Mario on it. They associate pleasure to Mario. And the Nintendo logo by the way...

Actually they do. Rewind to early Mickeys and look closely. He keeps changing.
