Aww, I actually liked the Story book stuff in SMG1.

Though it does feel like any time Nintendo does something huge with a story, fans hate it. Like Other M and the SMB movie.

Of course fans hate it - those things are poo poo. Don't act like people dislike Other M because it had story.

Speaking of buying games, Amazon Prime Members can get Yoshi's Woolly World for $43 (down from $50) when you pre-order.

Keep in mind that the Yarn Yoshi bundle is still $60, and that the Yarn Yoshi Amiibos retail for $17, so you're really not saving anything if you want a Yarn Yoshi Amiibo

Re: story vs no story in Mario, I have no opinion.

But after the previous game, I chuckled at the intro for Galaxy 2. It's essentially "Bowser is really big, get a move on! Do some Mario stuff!"

Kid Icarus Uprising had a story and nobody complained. People hate those other things because they are terrible.

Wait think something is getting mixed up here, no one said they hated the story stuff in SMG. Except for Miyamoto, but that was only because it was put in without anyone telling him.

At least that was what I got from the previous post.

Yeah. Maybe take a cue from the Nintendo Power SMW comic and just make it so that she kicks off the game by going after Bowser when he pulls his airship bullshit again.

There's an episode of the Super Show where Peach and Toad go on vacation and leave Mario and Luigi in charge. They gently caress it up and Bowser takes over the mushroom kingdom.

Peach doesn't just take the kingdom back, she surfs (like with a surfboard) back into the castle wearing a bathing suit, sunglasses and the most impressive loving high tops the eighties had to offer, and shoots Bowser with a crossbow.

You couldn't make a more badass scene if you tried.

They feel the moment that Nintendo does story in games and has voiced character they become like the other companies that are all evil and bad because having voiced characters and a story somehow makes the game not a game anymore.

And it's like how do they not know of Xenoblade or Fire Emblem

The real reason Bowser kidnaps Peach is probably because he knows she'll gently caress him up bad if he doesn't before taking over the kingdom. Mario's probably just a minor annoyance in comparison.

I really have to say the Skylanders Racing games just shows how stupid it is that Nintendo characters can't talk full sentences and just use chuckles, grunts, and saying their name as a means of conversation when everyone else around them can talk full on words.

And it's not like Mario/Luigi/Wario/Waluigi VA can't do it, he voiced the main dragon in Skyrim so he's got some range.

I liked it in that old Mario comic where Peach was a hot-blooded ruler who has her own toad army, takes the fight to Bowser, rescues herself, and rescues Mario at one point. That was pretty cool.

It wasn't that he thought it had too much story, he was angry at any story elements that Koizumi snuck past him hoping the higher-ups wouldn't notice.

Miyamoto was so butthurt over Rosie's storybook giving her a backstory, that he pre-emptively "put a stop to that" when Galaxy 2 began development

Sounds like Miyamoto is keeping that loon in check. They do good work together.

I went to a museum of Le Petit Prince in Japan, so it might have influenced Rosalina's story.

Also, having cutscenes in Galaxy meant they could use the full orchestra more.

Gien that it's apparently got a Mature rating over here, chances are that that feature survived.

Which is good because the dialogue is hilarious and people raging over it are hilarious.
