And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
That was hilariously thorough, much appreciated.

Although I really like the look of Dream Team, I'm not yet seeing the comparison to Super Mario RPG. And I played the shit out of that game as a kid.
vs.
Dream Team looks distinctively Alpha Dream, as is appropriate. It's Mario-esque, but not so stereotypically so like NSMB2, which I prefer.
Not that I would complain about a Geno/Malo appearance, assuming Square-Enix doesn't mind relinquishing the license. Honestly, I don't know why they don't just sell the characters to Nintendo - it's not like they use them for anything.
Although this topic reminds me of how unique SMRPG was in its...atmosphere, I suppose. I doubt we'll ever see any Mario game like it again.
Np, their stuff is always pretty crazily thorough.

Amazing and really interesting analysis.
Wow, this is probably GameXplain's best video. He caught so many details in the trailer.
The thing in the GameXplain trailer that I never thought to look at but I'm glad they brought up is the way that the real-world environment affects the layout of Luigi's dreams. Really intriguing, and it looks like they're probably about right that it functions a bit similarly to the time holes in PiT.
The only thing that saddens me is that it looks like the Bros attacks will probably still be based more around them using different items to attack. I still miss the old days of Superstar Saga when the Bros attacks were just creative combinations of their normal moves. The ability to "Advance!" the bros attacks is probably the thing I most miss from that game.

Agreed, it's not a big deal, bu I really liked those unique combos. I never did get the hang of swing bro...
Yeah, there's so much potential there, it's nuts. I can't wait to see what they do with it

Wonder if Sticker Star was nerfed because they want Dream Team to be the RPG out of the two and thought two Mario RPGs in 6-odd months wouldn't have been good?
Maybe we'll see another PM on 3DS as we got 2 M&L games on DS, and this time it will be a real PM game.
Also worth noting that the co-director and scenario of SS was Taro Kudo from Vanpool (thus they share the credit but it's obviously an unwritten one), so that might've played a huge role in the shift, hell I think it's more like a Vanpool game than an IntSys game if it was directed by Vanpool, they also did Dillon.

I really hope so. What's happened to PM is so sad

I just really hope you get to use more than just Mario in battles.
It seems you will since, as gamexplain pointed out, the Special Attacks are back. Plus Luigi has health on the overworld

Whatever this thing is, it appears on those wind spinners as well.
Probably doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things.
Or they just look coincidentally similar to each other.

I hope so. Soloing in Sticker Star was boring enough, I don't want to do it twice.

Looks like Kamek in disguise.

Hmm, maybe the bird-people made those spinners?

Just the first one. 2 is bad & 3 is mediocre.

Whatever it is, it's sitting on Mario/Luigi's head. That certainly looks like brown plumbers boots & blue overalls there.
Well from what I've read, 3 is the best one. I have yet to play it, it's in my backlog. I beat the first 2, and I do think the first one is better than the second.
Well it actually isn't on Mario or Luigi.
2 is alright, 3 is fantastic.

I think it's a new thing
I'd say 3 was better than mediocre.
But yeah, the fisrt is definitely the best. No contest.
The only thing I really miss is the "Advance" option, which could easily be implemented now if they ever gave us an option to man-up and take away button prompts and/or made the timing much more precise.
Anyway, someone bought it up on GameFAQs, and I couldn't believe it. This year does mark the 10th anniversary of the M&L franchise itself. Good that we'll get to celebrate it with a new game!
The more I look at this game, the more I love how they've made the leap from 2D to 3D.
I absolutely loved the first game, didn't like the second (and sold it accordingly). I didn't progress much in the third game but with the announcement of this comes the incentive to finally beat it; it's next on my list after Kid Icarus: Uprising.
(Hoping also that with the hype will come a VC release of the original. One can dream, right?)

The third one's really good; I recommend finishing it. PiT was god awful though; I barely made it a third in before bailing. The first is still the best though, with its less linear design.
GameXplain posted a discussion of gameplay ideas video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq9F90zARFc
They bring up some interesting ideas.

Thanks for posting! That was a pretty interesting discussion. I hope their idea of Mario 2 playing a part turns out to be true. Would be really cool.

Wario RPG is too good to happen.
Well, "HI I'M DAISY" is terrible. But Wario and Waluigi could make for a fun inclusion. I think they also deserve their own spinoff game.

I really wanted Superstar Saga but never got it for some reason. I wish they made a DS version, or made it an Ambassador game.

Dream Team is actually a Waluigi origin story where you find out that he was created in Luigi's dreams.
Whoa...
