Sonofabitch I knew people would construe it that way. I'm guessing this is how Mario games have been the last dozen years or so but even watching Galaxy or Sunshine didn't dip this much into the kiddie.

Guys why the gently caress doesn't Captain Toad have a gun and an eyepatch this is some namby-pamby bullshit.

Oh please. :rolleyes:

Edit: I didn't think it was a bad game, in fact it was rather difficult at times which I enjoyed, but like Fremry Corin Tucker's Stalker said, it's the silly aesthetic that turned me a off a bit. Not enough to pack it up and send it back but more of just surprised that they were doing it.

That "Bah Bah" singing and little dance has pretty much been a part of the New Super Mario Bros. series since it started. I like the little dance because it adds in a different gameplay mechanic where you have to time the enemies with the music. Like, if you turned off the music, you'd be at a significant disadvantage because they change how they move and you need the audio as the cue.

I got to Champion's Road a week or two ago in 3D World after loving every minute of the game, and when I was at PAX I played NSMBU for about an hour and felt absolutely nothing. It just feels really sterile and lifeless. Toad getting mugged is funny though.

The gameplay is amazing, they just desperately need a new artstyle. It would look amazing if they ditched the 3d models and made sprites based on the classic Mario look, like the ones 3d world uses for its life counter:

I won't lie, one of the things that made me finally get a Wii U is those character illustrations, they remind me of Mario 3/Mario World and I love Mario World with all my heart and soul. I always thought it was such a shame they mostly decided to go with 3D renders for the character art from 64 onwards.

Just make it the older style graphics but make it 1,000 levels, tie in with the old Super Show, and give us every sports tie-in in one.

Yeah, Mario Maker is definitely my most anticipated game of 2015 but I'm sure that most of the player-designed levels will be some IWBTG-style bullshit. But it'll be worth it for the tiny minority of really good levels.

Mario Maker will be the best-looking 2D mario game, since it has the SMW tileset, and the best-playing 2D mario game, since it has the Mario 3 assets... Unfortunately it's never coming out. Right now there's a panicked employee in Kyoto googling "how to make server internet sharing."

Nintendo already has multiple games with reply good level creators and Miiverse integrated sharing. One was released just last week, and the level sharing works super well and it's easy to find good content and subscribe to people you like.

If they can allow you to make levels like those SNES SMW levels that play themselves or Kaizo Mario or even IWBTG, then I'm all for it. I'm honestly surprised it's taken this long to make an official level maker from them.

There's already several Mario vs DK levels like this that are entertaining. Of course those characters move on their own.

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

3D World is great. It was my daughter's first Mario game and its known in our house as "Kee Cat Mario". I really enjoy the music, particularly the Boo house stuff.

That being said, I hope the next proper 3D mario game goes back to the N64 style world exploration type thing instead of the standard overworld/level select format. I loved exploring the Castle and then the worlds within the paintings. Seeing some of the amazing level design in Galaxy 2 and 3D World (3D Land also has some cool stuff) makes me want to see what some kind of "Banjo Kazooie/M64" type levels they could whip up nowadays.

I mean, as long as the gameplay isn't changed it'll be good but I don't understand the point? Would you want them to make it the 3D models of the NSMB series? Just, nicer looking sprites?
