Is it just me or does the realistic-ish lighting make this game look a little creepy?

 

[StreetsAhead]

Is it just me or does the realistic-ish lighting make this game look a little creepy?

I think Mario Chase looks amazing...like a toy factory. Maybe just me?

 

[RobotHaus]

The only new one there is the Pikmin one. Mario and Metroid were tech demos at E3 2011.

 

[MarkusRJR]

The lighting looks really nice.

 

[Fireblend]

This and Rayman Origins are the games I'm excited the most about for the WiiU... still unsure about getting it this year, though.

 

[Data West]

now imagine that lighting in a real metroid game

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Mario Chase looks like Banjo Kazooie: Nuts n Bolts.

 

[Peru]

I will never not criticize the decision to not include this is as framework software on the system with possibility of DLC additional games, but the aesthethics are very appealing, clean, sharp, some character of their own.

 

[udivision]

Mario Chase looks like Banjo Kazooie: Nuts n Bolts.

Was about to post that...

 

[Formless]

It's a cool way to get people to know not so well known franchises, I guess

 

[meppi]

Still unsure about this game, but I'm getting it alongside the black system anyway, so I guess I'll find out if I like it or not soon.

One thing I noticed was the felt look on the caps in the Zelda game.
Really stood out for me for some reason. Attention to details is what makes a difference sometimes. Very charming.

 

[Kouichi]

Nintendoland is my favorite of the launch titles and I think it looks great. The friends that I play Mario/Wii Party with will love it.

 

[Sinthetic]

Pikmin looking sublime.

Good to see Mii's in HD.

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Dat Ridley.

 

[Phonomezer]

 

[deleted]

I'm really excited for Mario Chase and Coop Metroid. Looks like lots of fun!

Dunno whats going on in Pikmin though..

 

[Uncle Rupee]

Visually, I'm getting a real Nuts n' Bolts vibe from the Nintendo Land stuff and.. that's not a good thing

 

[pdnyc]

Any mention if these games will be online multiplayer as well? Or just local?

 

[Hiltz]

Any mention if these games will be online multiplayer as well? Or just local?

It sounds like it will be strictly local multiplayer.

Oh, Ridley's actually in Metroid Blast? Nice touch.

 

[friskykillface]

Any mention if these games will be online multiplayer as well? Or just local?

I'd say its all local, which is horrible news for me i want online, that mario race thing looks fun but alas it'll be just bots i play with lol, or alone

 

[Chet Rippo]

Mario Chase looks like Banjo Kazooie: Nuts n Bolts.

It all gives me that vibe, and I'm loving it.

 

[pdnyc]

Same here that's why I was hoping Nintendo might have mentioned online multiplayer as well. Ah well guess I might get the white wiiu then.

It sounds like it will be strictly local multiplayer.

Oh, Ridley's actually in Metroid Blast? Nice touch.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Metroid Blast looked really good. Horde Mode on Wii U at launch!

 

[dock]

Nintendo Land is my most anticipated Wii U game, followed by Wii Fit U.

I'm... I'm a monster.

 

[StreetsAhead]

Nintendo Land is my most anticipated Wii U game, followed by Wii Fit U.

I'm... I'm a monster.

You're not a monster...this game is definitely in my top 5.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

Now I see why pikmin 3 is not at launch. Playing NL to get more people into the series.

 

[Teknoman]

If only. Does remind of the battle screen though.

 

[Cjdamon042]

I er...I'm liking the look of Mario Chase graphically and art style speaking...

I'm not sure if I want realistic lighting in a Mario game, I'd have to see it for myself before I made a final opinion on it, but Mario Chase doesn't look too bad there.

It will be interesting to see what they do for the first main 3D Mario title on there.

 

[Penguin]

You know there is a trailer for this?

Much better look

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sawZZVrlsSo&list=UUGIY_O-8vW4rfX98KlMkvRg&index=1&feature=plcp

 

[BowieZ]

i think there's merely passing similarities.

 

[evilromero]

These three games look amazing.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

A Mario Galaxy-type game with graphics similar to Mario Chase would be insane.

 

[StreetsAhead]

You know there is a trailer for this?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sawZZVrlsSo&list=UUGIY_O-8vW4rfX98KlMkvRg&index=1&feature=plcp

Added to OP
Thanks

damn, this looks like a quality pack in, call me hyped.

Graphics are good too

 

[MadeInBeats]

Yup, lighting on the Wii U. This looks great Pikmin and Metroid totally sold it to me. Hope I can get the packin SKU day one finances permitting.

 

[Sinthetic]

Awesome, thanks for the trailer.

I can definitely see myself blowing loads of hours on Balloon Trip.

Why wasn't F-Zero shown? What teasers.

 

[JAYinHD]

I'll be snatching up the deluxe edition so I hope this game delivers.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

Those minigames look actually pretty fun. If this was a pack in that would be pretty great.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

Why would anyone rather play as their Mii than the franchise's main character? Anyway, Nintendo Land looks alright after all but I hope it's fun to play in single-player. Seems like most of these are meant for five-player games and even if you're lucky enough to have five controllers you still need to find four other friends who have time to come over and play some Nintendo games with you.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Why would anyone rather play as their Mii than the franchise's main character?

...You're visiting a theme park..

 

[:Motorbass]

Those minigames look actually pretty fun. If this was a pack in that would be pretty great.

It's in the Premium Package for the West from what I got.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

...You're visiting a theme park..

So? You'd rather play as your Mii than Samus, Link, Olimar, Mario and whatnot? Why wouldn't you be in a theme park as a main character. Your response sounds weak to me, that is by no means a decent argument.

 

[Currygan]

So? You'd rather play as your Mii than Samus, Link, Olimar, Mario and whatnot? Why wouldn't you be in a theme park as a main character. Your response sounds weak to me, that is by no means a decent argument.

because that's not the point of the game. Mario is not visiting the theme park, "you" are visiting it

 

[Jaded Alyx]

So? You'd rather play as your Mii than Samus, Link, Olimar, Mario and whatnot? Why wouldn't you be in a theme park as a main character. Your response sounds weak to me, that is by no means a decent argument.

Mario visiting a Nintendo theme park to play his own Mario-related game? What's the point? Why bother make it a theme park then?

 

[Adam J.]

I'm in for Balloon Fight and the ninja-star throwing game.

 

[Berordn]

So what games are yet to be unveiled then? Do we just have Octopus left?

 

[evilromero]

So? You'd rather play as your Mii than Samus, Link, Olimar, Mario and whatnot? Why wouldn't you be in a theme park as a main character. Your response sounds weak to me, that is by no means a decent argument.

You've never wanted to visit a Nintendo theme park? Also if you want to play as Mario why not play a Mario game?

 

[zroid]

I think Mario Chase looks amazing...like a toy factory. Maybe just me?

I think there is actually a weird animatronic thing going on here. I wouldn't have expected this based on what we'd seen of NintendoLand earlier. It's interesting, they are pushing the "theme park" motif more than I anticipated.

 

[LonelyGreyWolf]

because that's not the point of the game. Mario is not visiting the theme park, "you" are visiting it

No, I'm not. My Mii that looks nothing like me is. And please don't tell me that you're trying to make it sound like a Nintendo game would be realistic. Nintendo games never have been and never, ever will be realistic. Because we don't want realistic games.

The point of the game is too have fun. The point is to play mini-games. The point is not to visit a freaking theme park. I mean listen to yourself. When your friend ask you want Nintendo Land is, do you say that it's a theme park or a mini-game collection? When your friend asks you what you're doing, do you say that you're visiting a theme park or playing a game? This is a mini-game collection, no matter what you call it. And why, I repeat, why would you not be able to play as the actual characters in the mini-games? Like your Miis are controlling the actual characters or whatever.

There's only one answer to my question, I guess. Laziness. Instead of programming a whole lot of characters, why not just use the same character across all mini-games. Brilliant. Why put effort into the game, right? Why not just make a hub that looks like a theme park and save a whole lot of development time. And you're falling for it. God Nintendo are genius.

You've never wanted to visit a Nintendo theme park? Also if you want to play as Mario why not play a Mario game?

Mario Chase is not a Mario game? What next, Super Mario Galaxy 3 and New Super Mario Bros U2 won't feature Mario as a playable character?
