For a figment of my imagination, you sure are aggressive.

wait if we can see the figment of your imagination, does that mean we're a figment of your imagination, like some sort of st elsewhere deal?

I hope so.

If you're a figment of my imagination then I'm kind of witty.

Sounds like quite a few people are unaware of some of the shittiness in Nintendo's games. Maybe it's some sorta repressive issue after being diehard Nintendo fans for so long.

that suit is truly god mode!!

 

[Brera]

This thread was going great. Lots of Super Mario Bros 3 and World banter, discussions over the cape breaking SMW etc.

Then some fucker brought up NSMBWii. GTFO!

wow so edgy

Also I was expecting the P-Wing to let you fly over the stage while spamming 'A' instead of just teleporting you to the flag pole.

from what I remember, and from what people say on here, NSMB DS was wayyy to easy.

I hope the fact that they are including a Super Guide with this one means they will leave the actual levels with challenge intact.

Well NSMBWii wasn't too easy. Super Guide is basically Nintendo's awesome solution to the problem of wanting a game to be accessible to everyone without alienating the core.

I want a console version, even though I know it won't happen.

And I want a handheld version of NSMBWii....we can dream.

Miyamoto did say they were working on both 3D and 3D Mario for 3DS...

 

[GreggTheGrimReaper]

Haven't been following modern video game culture lately but what is it with all those easy games coming out these days? Are tough challenges considered uncool now?

Well we can direct the fellow to a suitable thread at any rate

 

[friskykillface]

wait, if you touch the p wing it just warps you to the end of the stage, lol bummer but heh.

examples? Difficulty is in the eye of the behold. But generally developers/publishers want to make games that are "accessible" to casual people in way that doesn't make them give up and return the game after the first level/stage/whatever.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

That was actually a mistake.

Hey what? The laughing smileys are back!

(edit... NOoooooOOoo)

Umm, what now... Anyway yeah I figured it was a mistake but considering the whole 3D thing with this platform it totally flew.

I was just wondering while reading through this thread where people were discussing some super god mode which activates itself after you've lost 5 lifes or so. Unfortunately I haven't been playing a Mario game since NSMBDS which already suffered from being too easy.

It's the Super Guide, which gives you the option of letting the game show you the rest of the way through the level if you're having a particularly difficult time with it. Completely optional, and you can indeed ignore it if you wish. It's been in every other first-party Nintendo title since NSMBWii in 2009.

nsmbwii has a cpu which clears the stage from you and you can take control at anytime. This allowed nsmbwii to actually be challenging.

This one has a white tanooki suit that's like invincible.

 

[Emitan]

Hey what? The laughing smileys are back!

You jealous?

Can't wait for people to complain about the P-Wing. IT'S OPTIONAL PEOPLE. And I assume it only comes up if you've died a lot.

You die.

The stanooki suit comes after 5 deaths. The p-wing comes after 10.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Just a heads up, I'm already waste-deep in making the official thread for this.

So I don't want anybody stealing it like Copernicus stole my Android OT. >:|

But that wasn't really his fault.

Thinking of posting it the same day as the Generations thread. :3 Or on November 1 when Generations comes out.

You die.

The stanooki suit comes after 5 deaths. The p-wing comes after 10.

Ah, this is valuable information...

 

[Freezie KO]

The stanooki suit comes after 5 deaths.

After 99 deaths, you get the Snooki suit.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

After 99 deaths, you get the Snooki suit.

Let me guess what it does...

To anyone who's played the demo: On a scale of 1-10, would you guys say this is a 5 or a 6?

 

[AniHawk]

probably a 5 for me. the controls are bad, and the levels weren't very interesting.

Have you seen the video posted on the eShop recently? None of the levels in the demo are as cool as whats in that video. But the demo is good enough to give you a good idea of how well it could play and look. The best level is the one with flipping green panels imo... and some of the nicest moments are when you go down a pipe or hit a warp block and are confronted with some kind of quick puzzle. 7/10 demo, but it illustrates the game has the potential to be 10/10.

I agree with this.

 

[codhand]

wait, is someone on gaf sexting shiggy?

 

[BGBW]

Yeah the flipping green panel level was the best as it actually had a hint of challenge. The airship was fun but felt really short, to the point it made levels in SMB3 feel long.

 

[Amir0x]

Played this at NYCC. I am reaaaally not feeling it at all. It's the first time I've been put off by a Mario platforming game in forever. Not even NSMB/NSMB Wii elicited such a strong turn off response. I didn't think the problems which were so apparent in videos and such would actually turn me off and make me disinterested, but when I'm playing it... it really kinda DID.

I'm trying not to fault its difficulty because clearly they're showing off easy areas, but the level design was low grade C developer quality stuff in the area I played and the controls were easily the worst in any Mario game since.... since... to tell you the truth this is the worst feeling Mario momentum/control feel I can remember.

I am really not sure what to think now. This was to be the first 3DS game I really wanted without being coerced at all by a complete lack of library possibilities, but I hope it becomes magical in the later worlds because right now D:

 

[gimz]

is there gonna be a multiplayers mode like NSMB on wii?
it will be amazing!

 

[Kurdel]

Playing Super Mario Land 2 for the first time in years gave me some perspective.

Slow, weird, oddly vertical are staples in the "Land" franchise. Expecting it to be a regular/fast Mario game is normal, but unfair in the context of a "Land" game.

Anyways, the only drawback for me is the pop-in of objects in some videos. Otherwise, my dusty 3DS is ready.

 

[gimz]

after seeing the videos i now know what to wear for halloween this year

it's no surprise then that the Land is easily the worst Mario platforming series of games in the entire franchise

why they'd use that for inspiration in the first place would be a clue

it really is like a weird mixture of Land, Galaxy and SMB3, but with seriously bottom tier Mario controls and just weird compartmentalized levels which seem extremely simple, almost uncharacteristically anti-Nintendo in a way. There didn't seem to be any cleverness on display. All the ideas seemed gimped from Galaxy artistically or 3 gameplay wise, with here or there some concept that is merely an expanded version of something that already came in a more recent Mario game. But with the controls/speed the way it is, it is missing the "boundless joy" feeling that the best Mario games have. That control and momentum so perfectly balanced and honed that you practically feel like you could conceivably analog silk your way out of the game screen with the right timed bit of acrobatics. Not so here, it's a huge step back
