[Easy_D]

Looks like yet another streamlined level based 3D game. Sigh.

What about the very Hub-World looking Bean Bean Kingdom esque shot tho?

 

[Banjotanooki]

If Mario's in Mexico this time around, will we see an appearance by Capitan Todd?

 

[robotrock]

Why are those mountains transparent ?

bcuz u need to paint them

 

[psyfi]

Looks beautiful. I hope it's more linear like the Galaxy games, but I know yall open level design lovers need your sequel too. I'm sure I'll love it either way.

 

[Icyflamez96]

SO SO glad it's not a Galaxy game.

Excited as heck.

 

[Kyle8497]

Is there any indication we can change the camera? It seems like the chosen angle will be difficult for platforming.

I'm sure you'll be able to rotate the camera with the right thumb stick. I assume they put the camera at that angle when recording to show off the game's beauty.

 

[Raw64life]

This is all I really needed to see to know that I'm getting an NX.

 

[MrBadger]

From the camera angle, it looks like it's gonna be single player again. Slightly disappointed, but also excited because this opens up the level design possibilities. Definitely excited, and it being 3D Mario guarantees that it'll be amazing. Also noticing no item boxes, and what looked like a spinning heart? So we health bar now?

 

[moltonasty]

nutted but I'm still nutting

Spoiler

again

 

[Yoshi]

What are those gold rings? were they ever in a Mario game?

Afaik they were and they give coins.

It looks like a 3D World style linear Mario (actually, both scenes have a geometry that says "linear"), but with the full moveset of Mario 64, which is a fantastic combination.

 

[phanphare]

holy fuck triple jump is back hnnng

first thing I noticed

 

[SuperAngelo64]

Well, I hate to say I told you so.

 

[amdb00mer]

Looks like it's running under UE4 or UE3. Also, that one scene where Mario is walking into a town makes me think of Samba de Amigo and then we have Mario collecting, gold rings?!? Are they collaborating with Sega?

 

[ec0ec0]

Looks like they're blending 64/sunshine with 3d world just like I wanted.

and is the dive (the "b" button in both 64 and sunshine) in or out in that?

 

[Malus]

A Mario game with a nice hub and Galaxy or 3D World-esque focused level design is basically my perfect Mario game. The setting looks great too. It's also nice to have some elements of a distinct setting.

 

[cyberheater]

I really hope this is the SM64 sequel I've been waiting for. A proper 3D Mario.

 

[Intel_89]

I was hoping for a single player mario game with a unique look, this looks a lot like what you'd expect from a 3D Mario game (Land/World). Kinda disapointed but the cactus people are keeping me hopeful, at least they're not Toads.

 

[wild wild rice]

This was the best thing about the trailer. It's gonna be so fucking gorgeous.

 

[ffdgh]

Looking good. Nice to see a 3D game like 64 and sunshine and not in space(yet)

 

[Kinsei]

Looks really, really good. I'm getting some SMG style vibes from this.

What's up with all of the hearts? Is this the grand return of Subcon?

Anyone notice in the castle-like level the rotating heart (look towards the right of the gif)?

A return of the Spinning Heart from Mario 64?

No. Earlier on you can see three above an Umbrella. If it is the spinning heart then there wouldn't be three in a row like that.

 

[Milly Osworth]

This makes me so happy!

3D Mario is back!!!

 

[Malus]

Did you not play Mario 64? Exploration was what made it so damned good, and the reason it's still contested so crazy in the speed-running community.

Not the guy you quoted but I never cared much for 64. Also I'm not speedrunning anything so that doesn't make any difference to me lol.

 

[shinobi602]

Getting Super Mario 64 vibes.

 

[linko9]

I wonder if the whole game is Mexican-themed or if that's just one level. For whatever reason I'm feeling like the whole game might take place in that setting.

 

[Diddy Kong]

3D Mario is definitely going to be my most anticipated Switch game! I need to see more.

 

[cyberheater]

What is the chances of this coming to WiiU?

 

[dawgparty]

If this has playable Peach it will be the best game ever. Please.

 

[mrmickfran]

Trump deporting the game as we speak

 

[Neiteio]

Dat SM64 triple jump

Dat SM64 ground-level view

Dat fresh-feeling world

A RETURN TO GLORY

Trump deporting the game as we speak

Hehehehe

 

[ffdgh]

If this has playable Peach it will be the best game ever. Please.

Right there with you. Playing through 3D world with peach was so dang nice.

 

[Odrion]

I don't understand how anyone can look at that footage and discern whether it's linear or not.

 

[_PsiFire_]

What is the chances of this coming to WiiU?

Chances are LOL/10.

 

[PSFan]

Looks more like a Super Mario Sunshine remake or sequel to me.

 

[Malus]

Getting Super Mario 64 vibes.

It'd be interesting to see Tokyo EPD's take on that style of game. The design of the sand level looks a lot more busy than something I'd expect out of 64 or Sunshine, which is more than fine by me, but it's only a glimpse of 1 level.

 

[Dark_3nergy]

Super Mario 64 2? I had some very fond memories of that game. Young Dark_3nergy would

Spoiler

almost draw blood

to get the N64 into their hands. The hype engine was pretty strong when you're a rowdy 11 year old.

Go get your slider trousers Mario 64 gaf fans. We're sliding down this mountain for the next 6 months.

 

[Violet_0]

Looks more like a Super Mario Sunshine remake or sequel to me.

it would be pretty funny if the theme of the game is actually just Mario and company going on vaccation, again

 

[Vital Tundra]

Judging by the camera angle and the momentum Mario has with the long jump, this is most likely fully 3D.

 

[Labrynian Rebel]

I'm intrigued by the near-invisible structures on the left and right of the top pic.

Super Mario Galaxy: Color Splash

 

[Wiz]

I like what I'm seeing so far. The style looks vibrant and unique. Need to see more but I get more 64/Sunshine vibes than Galaxy/3D World

 

[Sendou]

I'm intrigued by the near-invisible structures on the left and right of the top pic.

Ice blocks.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Are we building the world??

 

[Aldric]

l'm satisfied. lt already has a thousand times more personality than 3D World (a sense of place and NPCs in a 3D Mario??? What is this tomfoolery), the triple jump is back and apparently there's no run button. l'm excited to see more.

 

[takriel]

If this is actually the spiritual successor to Mario 64 I don't even know what I'm gonna do. Looks really, really good! First 3D Mario since 64 I'm actually excited about! Holy shit!

 

[sanstesy]

Remember how the first Super Mario Galaxy was revealed? The same way as this just in the Wii reveal trailer.

Super Mario Galaxy 3 cofirmed!

 

[Joelstinton14]

Seems to be a map marker shinning in the background of one of the gifs. (The town one)

 

[Adam_Vania]

looks AMAZING!!!! I WANTT!!!

i mean, oh no, another tightly designed level-based Mario game, booooooring!? /s

 

[Malus]

I like seeing the moon during the day, and so big too. Neat little touch.

 

[jimboton]

Looks like yet another streamlined level based 3D game. Sigh.

We won't get another full fat 3d Mario experience like 64 in our lifetimes. Better make your peace with that fact..

 

[Neiteio]

I'm just slightly concerned about how they don't show Mario running left or right. But there are items to the right and left (gold rings on one side, hearts on the other), so presumably this hasn't devolved into an auto-runner or whatever.

 

[Little Mons†er]

Looks like it's pretty early in development.

I doubt it
