Mario fans.
"I don't like it. I want a Proper Mario 64."
I gotta write a script that auto-ignores users who use the words 'True' or 'Proper' within three words of the word 'Mario', because they're just plain never ever good posts

New Donk City is just one of many levels.

Did I dream the part of the trailer where they show Mario jumping through all kinds of colorful and bizarre landscapes or are you all purposefully ignoring that to focus on the city?

The more I think about the game the more it reminds of Lego City Undercover or one of those open world Lego Marvel Superheroes games. You run around the city and enter levels by entering certain buildings and travel around the world.

there's a good swath of this thread who have somehow convinced themselves that New Donk City is the Princess Peach's Castle style Hub World for this game.
The city landscape allows great platforming, but other than that I'm not really liking the city. The rest though? Looks awesome, and just what many people wanted to see, a huge areas with platforming spread all over. Can't wait to get my hands on it when it releases I should have the system by then I think.
The city looks like the biggest area and the HUB
This is reminding me of Super Mario sunshine. Classic Mario areas looking good. Everything else some weird side experiment gone wrong

Should've modeled the level after Bensonhurt instead of Manhattan, he's from Bensonhoist no doubt! Complete with tracksuit-wearing wise guy stickups and his grandma yelling at him from the 3rd story window to get his ass upstairs for some baked ziti.

Damn. I mean this is literally the 1st mario since Sunshine to have the Dive Move which was a huge part in tying Mario's moveset together in those games. Anyone who says this isn't a proper Mario 64/Sunshine successor is insane.

It doesn't look like the biggest area OR the hub. (re-watch that bit with the flowers, and have a peek at the background)
I don't know why you or anyone else is under the impression that the city serves as a hub.
Can you cite even one reason why you think it's the hub outside of the trailer having started off IN the city?
how does it even make sense as the hub
they want zelda/mario to be the attention, same as the system
makes for a boring conference when we all want are games, games, games
sorry for dp
I didn't see anything hub-like about the city.
If anything, the Flying hat is the hub for this game in the same way Starship mario was the hub for galaxy 2.

you would think it were ultra super hella obvious that the hat-ship is the hub. Didn't y'all play Super Mario Galaxy 2?

What proof is there that the city is the hub world? I think people are just assuming that because of associations with Sonic Adventure. To me, every area they showed looked equally big and varied. There's so much going on in the ice desert with the skeleton guys. And that's also the most Mario-like stage out of all of them.

dive move, spinny hearts, ledge hanging, health/coin split, acrobatics abound
but this is totally a 3D World styled game, right Griss? ;p
No but I believe his Brooklyn origins is unless they retcon it. I believe original Donkey Kong game was supposed to be set in there or somewhere in the real world.
That's the thing - it looked like a homecoming at the start of the trailer. I thought that was such a cool place to set a Mario game. But then it clear he's an outsider in that world, as he doesn't look like anyone there.
Would've been nice to have Mario go to his favourite Pizzeria. Maybe see his apartment. Maybe he's just a nobody outside of the Mushroom Kingdom? All the possibilities then the game makes it clear he's foreign to that world.

The hat ship thing is pretty clearly the "hub" of the game. It even has a globe on it, which is presumably where you select your levels from. It's Mario's adventure across the whole world, which is why we have a New York level, a Mexican themed level, a redwood esque forest, etc. It's Mario's Odyssey--he's going to exotic lands and seeing completely new environments and peoples everywhere he goes. One place has goofy robot men, another is inhabited by fork people, and another is populated by realistic humans.
I find this game to be super exciting.
And not a damn Toad in sight.

Seriously this + Zelda is making me want to buy the damn console. Game looks all the good kinds of crazy and fun!.....but damnit Nintendo, why did you have to mess the pricing so badly? Ugh. Not sure if I can resist Zelda, let alone this when the Holiday comes!

I thought the trailer was pretty cool, but those screens in the OP look rough as fuck!

Great trailer, great visuals. 60fps on youtube
The city is like that on purpose.
Never thought $50 would be so bad

I'm betting it is the hub world.

This looks so great, the movement and moveset look fun as hell. The city is super weird, but I kinda like it since it's one part of the game and the rest looks to be classic 3D Mario.

I'm loving the new Mario's movesets. I can totally feel this to be the true Mario 128. And it's in holiday 2017. God help me!

Where the hell are people getting the idea that New Donk City is the hub? The hub is clearly the flying top hat, just like the hub in Mario Galaxy was Rosalina's space station and in Mario Galaxy 2 was Mario's planetoid ship.
There are plenty of little people that look more like Mario than the rest of us in the real world.
More likely that the hat ship is the hub world.

Didn't Nintendo say right after this trailer that there were going to be many massive levels like New Donk City? That'd imply to me that it isn't a giant hub world like Isle Delfino.

that is neither a safe bet or a reasonable one to make.
It doesn't make any sense at all, whatsoever to assume that the city is the hub world
so why are so many people doing it???
WordAssassin

They did. Plus there's like... nothing in NDC to suggest it's a hub. If anything there's tons of shit that shows it's not, such as a boss battle.
Because of Sonic Adventure.

I'm not sure there's a hub zone, and those flaky leaks aren't going to convince me. The hat-boat itself with it's navigational globe seems as good a hub as it needs really.
It could maybe have a return to Mother Base Mushroom Kingdom option onboard, perhaps
