Maybe its because I'm tired but that didn't look all that visually. I was expecting the 3D Mario title to blow my balls off and show what the Wii U can do.

Same feeling I had. Literally thought it was a 3DS game at first.

 

[R1CHO]

They don't even try.

Yo guys, we are throwing this cat suit and 4 players and there... that's that, your 3d Mario for wiiU.

Nice flagship title.

 

[PowderedToast]

ugh, im crushed. again

come the fuck on

 

[Always-honest]

Looks fucking great

 

[DaBoss]

It looks like it has potential if 3D Land is anything to go by.

 

[Brinbe]

Sorry, but that sucked balls... you didn't buy a Wii U to play a 3DS capable game.

Super Mario Universe? Wasn't that right THERE? They went down from Galaxys into Worlds

 

[H_Prestige]

Mario Galaxy looks next gen compared to this crap. Wow, Nintendo. If this is how it's going to be from now on, I'm not expecting anything from the next Zelda either. Will probably be nothing more than ALLTP2 in HD.

 

[Zero148]

looked really nice imo. You guys are insane, this is the new game from the creators of galaxy, how can anyone seriously doubt its quality and creativity?

 

[watershed]

The least interesting 3d mario Nintendo has ever made.

From Mario 64, to Sunshine, to 2 amazing Galaxy games, to this....

The whole game screams a lack of inspiration or originality. It looks like nothing more than a spruced up 3d Land with multiplayer added.

Has EAD run out of ideas?

 

[gamergirly]

They don't even try.

Yo guys, we are throwing this cat suit and 4 players and there... that's that, your 3d Mario for wiiU.

Nice flagship title.

That's the beginning level, it's always basic. Also, we saw how some of the levels were divided up, one had a small Galaxyish feeling to it. We dont know how the rest of the game will pan out. I'm sure we'll see more in future Directs. After seeing how many people didn't like Mario Galaxy, I'm not really surprised over people not liking this title. You just can't please some people.

 

[Galang]

Oh yay, they are shitting out another Mario game.
What era are these guys living in?

Uh we knew about this months ahead of time. No need to be snarky

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

It looks fun and alll....as did other games at the direct showing but wow what an all-round disappointment lol.

 

[MvmntInGrn]

Galaxy was going to be a hard game to follow up but still I don't love the direction here.

SM3DL was a great game on the 3DS but the actual 3D gameplay with the usually stationary camera made for some very straightforward gameplay. I don't want that returning. It makes everything feel like a 2.5D game. I want open areas and free camera control to approach levels from different directions.

The multiple characters that have different abilities/traits is a problem too in my eyes because the level design has to accommodate all of them vs. NSMB where they are essentially just skins.

 

[Duallusion]

Sonic Lost World looks far more interesting, to be frank. There's a hint of irony in there somewhere.

 

[Tiktaalik]

Not the galaxy followup I was looking for. :\

 

[gdt]

A huge pile of meh.

 

[Franklinator]

It looks really good, but I can't say that I'm not disappointed.

 

[Zekes!]

Considering how good 3D Land was (potentially the best 3D Mario game) I can't say I'm mad about this

 

[metalslimer]

Nintendo currently has no ambition anymore. Game looks fun, but god what a disappointment.

 

[Amir0x]

3D Land wasn't my favorite game by a long shot, and this looks considerably less novel than I would have hoped, but I'm still in.

 

[Plinko]

The whining needs to stop.

3D Land was amazing. It looks like we're going to get an even bigger world from that game with more powerups and co-op multiplayer.

I'm hyped.

 

[Whiskeymatt]

Looks bland, will be fun. Really hoping it's a placeholder 3D Mario, though.

 

[Celegus]

Ouch... this was not what I was expecting in the least. So yes, I was surprised. But not in a good way. I'm sure it'll be fine, but as a follow up to Galaxy... not even close.

 

[Smokey]

Wait...so this is the new 3D Mario for the Wii U?

 

[Kandinsky]

Dude I'm so dissapointed with this, I really was expecting a SM64-2, hell I would even take another kinda boring Galaxy game, this just looks offensive to me, multiplayer bland looking pos.

 

[Violet_0]

game of the show so far for me, it looks amazing
cat suit is cute!

 

[Tricky I Shadow]

Uggggh, so disappointed with this. At first I thought it was a 3DS game until I saw the Wii U logo at the end! : /

Disappointment seems to be a re-occurring theme with Nintendo recently. They’re out of ideas and its showing.

 

[brandonh83]

Looks amazing to me, graphics are nice and I know the game design and content will be there.

 

[alfredofroylan]

The princess is playable again and it seems that she's still using the floaty jump from SMB 2

 

[m.i.s.]

As others have said, not something you'd buy a Wii U for. Crushingly mediocre and lacking in ambition.

This console is looking more and more like a "pass" to me.

 

[rugioh]

I expected a galaxy followup... disappointing. Donkey Kong/Sonic are looking like better platformers than this atm.

 

[Godot]

It didn't make me grin like the announcement of Galaxy did, but it looks extremely fun.

 

[cyberheater]

For those that think this is okay. Think long and hard about what made SM64 and Galaxy great and then reflect on this game.

Nintendo are taking the piss.

 

[Van Owen]

Never thought I could be so disappointed.

 

[Goldenmoney]

Incredibly lazy and uninspired. Might be rushed.

 

[Riposte]

I wonder if Peach being playable was a reaction to anything?

 

[jonno394]

Uggggh, so disappointed with this. At first I thought it was a 3DS game until I saw the Wii U logo at the end! : /

Disappointment seems to be a re-occurring theme with Nintendo recently. They’re out of ideas and its showing.

The E3 hyperbole is ridiculous

I thought this looked glorious. Had me smiling all the way through.

 

[Jason's Ultimatum]

Was I the only person hoping for an open world game like M64, and a different artstyle? Not something drastically, but an artstyle that doesn't look like every other Mario game for the past what? 5-6 years?

I'm disappointed with Nintendo, especially with the lack of creativity.

 

[Always-honest]

Terrible, absolutely terrible. Who at Nintendo thought it would be a good idea to NSMBify 3D Mario?

wut?

 

[Chezzymann]

Disappointing. Very, very, very disappointing.

 

[Stiflers Mom]

Damn, that's the straw that breaks the camels back for me.

Will sell my Wii U...

Wow..

I cannot believe this....

 

[Basileus777]

They couldn't get this out before Black Friday? Why?

 

[Deku Tree]

Why didn't they show off any tablet features?

Spoiler

Nintendo admitting the Wii Pad was a mistake?

 

[Into]

A bit odd, it looks like 3D Land from the "Land" portable series, it has World in the title from Super Mario World, yet has characters with abilities from Super Mario Bros 2: USA.

I am sure it will be a fun game, 3D Land was fun, but i can understand the disappointment

 

[kamakazi5]

3D Land is my favorite game on 3DS and one of my favorite games this gen but I wish it had stayed on 3DS. I just wanted the full 3D Mario that I expected. I'm honestly more disappointed about this than The Last Guardian not showing up at the PS4 conference.

 

[Mogwai]

Wow, that Mario game looks like a fucking piece of a lazy work. What a dissapointment.

I'm almost getting angry now...

 

[hachi]

Looks amazing.

And...

 

[rdrr gnr]

How disappointing. This is the follow-up to Galaxy? wat r u doing ninty

 

[ElTorro]

Meh, I expected something more like Galaxy, not 3D Land.

But Cat Mario makes up for it.

 

[Papercuts]

Can't shake the feeling that this is/was a 3DS game and they needed something else to bolster wiiu support. Probably the least I have ever cared for a mario game, even if I'm sure it'll be fun.
