Intro with sound.

 

[MisterHero]

Hee hee I'm imagining that Bowser stood there for about 20 or 30 minutes whilst an illustrator drew that picture for Mario, rather than just have a polygonal photograph

the illustration is likely in 3D

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

The intro can be seen in 3D during the 2nd Nintendo 3DS Show on the eShop!

3DS show is so much better than that Nintendo Channel bullshit.

...What?
Only NA, right?
Do you mean the 3DS counterpart to Nintendo News or something else?

 

[MrCheez]

omg omg omg

Love all the callbacks... nostalgia overload!

 

[Squall5042]

I don't know if anyone noticed but in one of the older videos released, Bowser clearly has a Tanooki tail

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Yes the 3DS counterpart to the Nintendo channel show and I think its most likely NA only since they mentioned that its the show's exclusive trailer.

 

[TheLastCandle]

3DS show is so much better than that Nintendo Channel bullshit.

Nintendo Week is pretty ridiculous, but at least it has some eye candy in Allison. They showcase some serious stinkers on that show.

I'll have to check out the 3DS show after work today. Excited to see some SM3DL stuff!

New trailer

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

Maybe they are fake Bowsers similar to the NES SMB?

 

[Nemo]

3D in this will be so good

Can't fucking WAIT

 

[AlexMeloche]

Why not the good ol' Propeller Suit?

 

[Medalion]

THIS will be the game to define the 3DS finally

 

[AniHawk]

Why not the good ol' Propeller Suit?

because ead tokyo fluctuates from hit to miss from one game to the next.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

WHAT THE? THE PRINCESS IS KIDNAPPED AGAIN?!!!

 

[Hypatia]

Looks utterly fantastic. Would like it if they included some new powerups that did something we haven't seen before though. Also Yoshi. Is Yoshi in it?

Almost makes me want to buy a 3DS. Almost. I guess I'll just have to borrow/steal one instead.

 

[Neoriceisgood]

Why not the good ol' Propeller Suit?

It's so they can have the temporary powerups required to solve a puzzle/finish a level a la mario galaxy without people having to get rid of their ordinary powerup suit.

This way you can have a tanooki suit & wear the box over it for propellor-box related segments.


Pretty genius way to get the best from both worlds, really.

 

[RockmanWhore]

I hate that music more and more everytime I see a new video

Oooh, didn't thought of that.

 

[MegaByte]

So how about that female Boom-Boom?

 

[Riposte]

This game doesn't look like it will be good. The 3D environment is a pretty big turn off and the camera angle and scope makes it seem like it won't be a good 3D Mario either. I guess people have come to call it a hybrid of sorts? Without the strengths of either. I hope there is something I am missing.

I feel like I am getting NSMB flashbacks.

EDIT: I watched all the videos, but the trailer lol. The trailer looks like it might have some good 3D Mario levels. Still don't know what to make of it.

 

[Sinthetic]

Trailer is too damn awesome.

New trailer

This is the one that took me from "cautiously hyped" to "mega hyped."

Also, are these the bees from SML2? They don't look like the ones from SMG...

 

[ShockingAlberto]

So we've come to the point where this is either going to be a bad game or a GAF crow-eating fest.

 

[LOCK]

Handheld game of the year folks... Yeah the SM3 comparisons are so strong.

 

[watershed]

Looks great, I like the new trailer the best. The floating and disappearing platforms look like they will provide faster gameplay and the level design is beginning to look more varied.

 

[Mista Koo]

The tail thing is a bit overkill, but I really hope some worlds are other power-ups themed (frog suit please).

Agreed, it sounds like the worst parts of SM64 and NSMB's overworld themes with bad instrumentation.

Funny, I've never liked NSMB's overworld and I like this.

Hello Nintendo

this is used to skip levels

I've always seen that as a tooth.

Edit: The propeller cube being huge is genius!

New trailer

Okay, this game will be awesome.

 

[DarkSoul520]

This game along with MH3 will be the main reasons I buy a 3DS finally.

The camera angle is weird but I have a feeling it makes perfect sense with autostereoscopic 3D. The levels seem brilliantly designed (I didn't get that feeling at first, but these new trailers are busting with them) and while the controls still seem weird to me, I don't think it will be a huge issue.

Looks a million times better than the blandness and sterility that was the original NSMB.

 

[linko9]

Wow, the gameplay is looking much more 3d than in previous video I've seen of the game, I can't wait.

 

[UnlovedJew]

Liking all the variety in the gameplay. Not too much a fan of the top down view stuff, but I'm sure that it will be much more fun to play that than watch. Also, look like Nintendo took some cues from modern sonic games with the 2D/3D switching going on. And please, tell me that the music will be more than that annoying theme in-game.

 

[Thoraxes]

Wow this is looking very good.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

Back when they first showed this game I was "meh..."

now I'm like damn I'm gonna suck at this game but wow! Oh I can't see 3D FUUU!

Well... can't unsee now. Thanks a lot.

To answer my own question, it does indeed seem like these are the enemies called "Bee'zerk" in Super Mario Land 2.

 

[Berordn]

Why not the good ol' Propeller Suit?

Presumably so you can't use it in levels where it'd be a gigantic shortcut/detrimental to the design. In the trailer you can see him wearing it with the bastardized Tanooki Suit so it's not a true power-up.

edit: kind of like an inverted shoe, now that I think about it

 

[Truth101]

The game is looking better and better.

 

[MegaByte]

To answer my own question, it does indeed seem like these are the enemies called "Bee'zerk" in Super Mario Land 2.

First, that isn't actually their name

The title of this article is conjectural; an official name for the article's subject has not been found, so it has been given a fitting title by editors.

Second, they can't be the same -- one has a stinger for a butt, and the other on its face.

 

[Emitan]

The later levels actually look fun. Hype slowly rising.

Eh? Galaxy was pulling that off a year before Unleashed.

Stop being mean and killing my theories.

There are Zelda themed level that's why I'm insanely hyped for this game especially that Skyward debuts few days after it.

just saw the nintendo show video and yea it is in 3d. looks good too.

 

[Electivirus]

The level design is giving me major Galaxy vibes. I smell a handheld GotY, folks!

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

Has a lot of Crash Bandicoot in it, but that's not a bad thing at all. Looks great, too bad I'm waiting for the 3DS revision or I would get it day one.

 

[Shiggy]

The music is awesome, who's doing it?

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Maybe they are fake Bowsers similar to the NES SMB?

Yup.

Intro with sound.

40 seconds of plot and then pure gameplay? I love it.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

I did not see a Long Jump, there was a section in which the player could have easily used a long jump, but did not and decided to do a normal jump instead after judciously checking the distance from one platform to the other (gameplay video).

No long jump (?) + run button + level timer... The 3DS could do justice to a Super Mario 64/Super Mario Galaxy kind of game... they pushed out Super Mario 64 to the DS too, why cannot the 3DS receive that kind of Mario too? Hopefully, Nintendo will ALSO release such a title in addition to this game and a new NSMB game.

I do believe I've seen the long jump used before in a gameplay vid from E3.
