Looks pretty great to me, but it's still not enough to convince me to get a Wii U - that will come when Nintendo get the next Zelda out along with some new IP's.

Would have preferred a 64esque title myself for it to be a genuine system seller.

Although it looks great, there's nothing that can't have been done on the 3DS from the graphics to the tiny, isometric levels.

 

[Doc Holliday]

It's only a criticism if you think SM64 & Sunshine are better than SMG, SMG2, and 3D Land.

This!

Open World should not be part of Super Mario IMO. Super Mario galaxy and 3d land are much better than s64 and sunshine. Leave open world to zelda.

 

[thecouncil]

I appreciated them showing only one character running through it. Made it seem like the kinda Mario game you'd expect from EAD.

 

[KillerTravis]

Man this game will be fantastic! My only complaint is that levels are a bit short according to IGN hands on. Everything else is just pure and awesome creativity.

 

[noobasuar]

Looks like a ton of fun and that's exactly what I want from games.

 

[Krev]

This actually looks brilliant.

 

[Diddy Kong]

God damn it looks so amazing!!

 

[Timeaisis]

Honestly, this game might actually push me to buy a WiiU this year.

That's what their hoping for.

 

[Pie and Beans]

I'm glad its looking a lot better, and will be a fun romp whenever I get around to it. Lighting has certainly been given an eye for detail on stuff, and always good to have a splendid Mario soundtrack again after too many NSMB entries boring off ears.

It doesn't really tackle those disappointed that this game is merely an evolution rather than the revolution that most "new console Marios" are though. Great stuff but no NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE level wow.

 

[RobFox64tm]

I'm bummed about Donkey Kong Country, but this game looks like all kinds of amazing. It definately made the bad news a lot easier to swallow.

Also, can the dumbasses out there concede that this is in fact a REAL Mario game now, please.

 

[gemoran4]

This!

Sorry but I 100% disagree with this opinion

 

[plank]

Clearly I'm missing something.

What looks so great about this?

EXCITE111!!!!111!

 

[friskykillface]

yeah the trailer crushed the E3 one and looked amazing

changed my mind about a day 1 purchase. i'll be there day 1

 

[Gsnap]

ALSO. It looks like those of you that enjoy a little story with your Mario games will be getting a really goofy and creative one. Maybe the most interesting since Sunshine based on what we've seen.

 

[equippedwithtowel]

Although it looks great, there's nothing that can't have been done on the 3DS from the graphics to the tiny, isometric levels.

Show me the magic 3ds that is pulling off everything in this trailer?

 

[JoeM86]

From the article:

"But while I did enjoy my time in each of the five different stages we were allowed to play, I still can't help but long for the vast, open, and mysterious environments of Mario 64 and Sunshine."

Game looks far better than before, but it doesn't really change this main criticism.

Those environments were never vast. Seriously. These levels all seem to be bigger, it's just more directioned

 

[Elfteiroh]

Best use of shadows!!!

 

[bomb]

Lol at all these "i really never doubted but..."

Everything before a but is bs.

 

[Morokh]

Holy Macaroni !

Looks amazing indeed

Take this, And watch the trailer again. Please

 

[apana]

This looks freaking awesome, like a genuine full generation jump from Galaxy in terms of graphics. I probably still won't get a Wii U but now I have a reason to feel bad about it. I can't wait to see what HD Zelda looks like, it will be mind blowing.

yes, the 3DS could clearly handle these graphics very well

 

[GustyGardens]

The music in the trailer was great. Really refreshing.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Sorry but I 100% disagree with this opinion

That's cool

I just think open world distracts from the main thing Mario is about, platforming on carefully designed levels.

 

[novenD]

I'm blown away. That looks like everything I could possibly want from a Mario Platformer. Well done EAD, well done.

 

[Betta Lines]

What's the deal with the camera system in this game? A lot of it seems fixed to a sort of isometric view, where you can only run in diagonals? Why have they done this, particularly as it is played with a dual-analogue controller?

 

[Cuburt]

This thread should have come with a crow buffet for all of GAF expecting it to be 3D Land with Multiplayer.

In fact, Nintendo should have emailed out vouchers to all of the internet.

 

[Diprosalic]

domo arigato.

i might use it in another forum since the few people that know me here, know my by ava. but i will use it

 

[Javier]

I KNEW this game was going to look gorgeous.

Doubters go sit in a corner and think about what you did.

 

[Stratostar]

I seriously can't wait for this game now.

 

[saichi]

so many new stuff in it!

 

[marc^o^]

IGN Video preview confirms EAD's work on this Mario would deserve a wall of shame:

[Billy Big Bollocks]

Did Mario behead a Goomba?

That's not PEGI 3.

The Mushroom Kingdom Chainsaw Massacre

4 player multiplayer with different abilities
tons of power-ups never seen in 3D Mario
the cherry doppleganger powerup
karibo shoe ice skating

And so much more.

there is a ton of new shit here.

[fakie]

NOW we're talking! Looks amazing!

 

[liger05]

Best use of shadows!!!

DAMN!!!!

 

[Busaiku]

Mario's face.

Oh my.
Call Penny Arcade.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I totally doubted this game I think it deserved the doubts from what they showed before

but this is the Mario I wanted in HD

 

[Sinthetic]

So incredibly good. Looks like some of the best old and new, all in one.

 

[Currygan]

What's the deal with the camera system in this game? A lot of it seems fixed to a sort of isometric view, where you can only run in diagonals? Why have they done this, particularly as it is played with a dual-analogue controller?

my guess is that the fixed camera is isometric, but you can rotate it as you want...in fact I think some of the levels encourage that sort of thing because hidden areas etc

It's only a criticism if you think SM64 & Sunshine are better than SMG, SMG2, and 3D Land.

I think it'd be good to make a new thread for the new previews (and gameplay videos), since it seems this'll get some discussion.

 

[Doc Holliday]

These guys mentioned Super MArio 3 a lot during this preview That's a good thing!

 

[MegaByte]

My impressions

 

[Lijik]

Its to compensate for multiplayer, when you play alone you get full control over the camera

Although Im assuming in some of those stages like the battletank fleet one, this wont always be the case

 

[GregLombardi]

Umm. Okay. I hated the announcement but that game looks incredible. I shouldn't have doubted after 3DLand, which is pretty much the best Mario since SMW.

 

[VanWinkle]

Is this game 720p or 1080p? I can't remember which games were which at E3 because I know they had said a couple of the games were native 1080p. I might just be thinking of Smash Bros and Zelda.

 

[JoeM86]

It's set, but you can move it however the hell you want with the right analogue stick or the gyro.

It's fixed in multiplayer, however.

 

[Empty]

i keep watching it. it's so great.

how often do you get a game trailer where they're just like hey check out these twenty new game mechanics all in succession kthanksbai

 

[haikira]

Although it looks great, there's nothing that can't have been done on the 3DS from the graphics to the tiny, isometric levels.

Four player with one copy of the game. =D
