I had a dream that Nintendo announced Super Mario HD Trilogy which was a remaster of Mario 64, Mario Sunshine, and Mario Galaxy, and they said this was why they released Mario Galaxy 2 instead of one.

If they remaster SM64 it should at least be the superior/more expansive DS version

I've finally been getting into Bayonetta 2 after buying it around Christmas time and then never starting it. This game owns a lot and is good. I am still lamenting the loss of the rocket launchers from the first game but the scythe is filling the void left in its place. I feel like Bat Within is way more important in Bayo 2 than it ever was in Bayo 1. Not sure how I feel about the flying battles. I'm glad insta-death QTEs are gone. The challenge rooms are now Actually Possible By Human Standards.

I like it and am going to keep playing it.

Speaking (kind of) of Mario 64, has there been even a rumor of a Mario Galaxy 3 type game? I spent a bunch of time playing Smash and Mario Kart on a friend's Wii U the other day and am interested in picking one up. There doesn't seem to be a Mario 64/Mario Galaxy type game out there though, and those were always my favorite. Mario 3D World seems to be a little different.

I think, and I could be very wrong, that someone did mention that a Mario game other than 3D World was in the works and that it was more in line with Galaxy as a big single player thing.

It was a while back probably around E3 time last year, but either Iwata or Miyamoto made some cryptic hypothetical statement along the lines of the Mario Galaxy/Mario 64 style having its own merits and I believe them saying something like "it may be something we explore in the future".

It was in no way shape or form a confirmation, let alone anything specific, but it wasn't a flat out denial which made people speculate wildly.

Edit: Here's a transcript from Iwata asks about Super Mario 3D World:

quote:

Koizumi: That's right. We've made use of the technology cultivated through Super Mario Galaxy, and characters like Rosalina and Captain Toad, who came about through those games play a new role. Super Mario 3D World is the form we chose to have a greater number of people enjoy that, so I think this is the present culmination of 3D Super Mario games.

Iwata: All right.

Miyamoto: Just so there is no misunderstanding, I should point out that this doesn't mean we'll never make another Super Mario Galaxy game.

Koizumi: That's right. When we first started making Super Mario 3D World, Miyamoto-san asked me if this was going to be more like Super Mario Galaxy or more like Super Mario 3D Land. When we made Super Mario 3D Land, we had our eyes on the form of this game, so we made it this way without any hesitation.

Miyamoto: The same team can't make both at the same time. And we can't bring in a second party and slap the name Super Mario Galaxy on it. I suppose we could idealistically make both in Tokyo, but we want to do something new too, so there was that dilemma.

Iwata: Well, uniqueness and a high degree of freedom versus how easy a game is to understand are always polar opposites.

Miyamoto: Personally, I would like to take on a variety of new challenges with Super Mario Galaxy and design 2D Super Mario games in an easy-to-understand way within certain restraints.

Iwata: Either way, to fans of Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario 3D World is in no way a different beast that they won't be able to enjoy. All right, I'd like to finish up by having you deliver a message to the fans. Let's start with Motokura-san.

I didn't have high expectations for 3D world and I think it's the best Mario game besides 3. The gameplay is great, amazing co-op implementation, you can play as multiple characters and they all feel different, the graphics are heads and tails above every other mario game, controls perfectly, no waggle, best miiverse integration out of any wii u title, seemingly endless chain of secret worlds that you can unlock after you "beat" the game, etc

Echoing the support for Mario 3D World. It's a nice bonus included with my WiiU that I've put more time in than any other WiiU game. The soundtrack rules too.

SM3DW is OK but not great, I 100%ed it but sold it immediately afterwards because I don't have a desire to ever play it again. The Mario Kart homage level is the highlight.

The best game on the Wii U right now is one of the following:
*Mario Kart 8
*Smash Bros Wii U
*Hyrule Warriors
*Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze

This is a fan made project that is actually surprisingly good. Using Unity he used Super Mario Galaxy art assets to recreate one level from Super Mario 64. You can download it off his website and he even posted the source code if you want to tinker with it yourself. I would pay $$$ for an official HD remake of Super Mario 64.

You know, I like 3D World as much as the next guy, but honestly I'd love it if they went back and made a sequel to Mario 64. Ever since Galaxy they've been trimming down Mario's moveset, to the point where now 3D World has no triple jump, no dive jump (and thus no belly slide), you can only move in eight directions, and you have to hold a button to run. Compared to the quick, easy and fun acrobatics displayed in that video, newer Mario's are slower, more linear and more rigid in how many options you have to get through an area.

I feel bad for the guy because its a speech thing and there's usually very little you can do for a thing like that. But it makes their videos unlistenable. His scripting is usually pretty good why doesn't he write the scripts and have someone else read them.

Yeah. All the other ones that could be #1:

Smash.
Kart.
Bayonetta.
Wonderful.

They all are niche. If you don't like fighting, racing or beat em ups, those games won't work for you. But pretty much everyone enjoys mario games.

Yes please ignore the series that is on average 90% on Metacritic after 4 installations and has enthralled the hearts and minds of America. We don't need those award winning games on the Wii-U we have so many upcoming things to look foward to that we could never have time to play them *watches tumbleweed go by*.
