BEE SUIT BITCHES.

[TakingBackSunday]

Game of all time

[CajoleJuice]

Looks great.

[Oblivion]

VIDEO GET!

Holy fucking shit! Looks like my fears about it not being platformer heavy are put to rest AT LAST!

[Oblivion]

Some of the level design looks insanely clever. OMG OMG OMG

[Van Cruncheon]

wow, that looks pretty good, why didn't nintendo show more than 10 seconds of it

[Oblivion]

Same reason they didn't last year. THEY'RE FUCKING JERKS! 

[AdmiralViscen]

Wow, that looks fantastic. I missed the video before.

[CajoleJuice]

This is the type of game I want from Nintendo. Why do they only have one of them? Christ.

[Van Cruncheon]

apparently Nintendo had some good DS games that they DIDN'T present, like Advance Wars DS 2. they were just tryin' to snub gamers and tell us what we SHOULD want, as expected.

WII FIT THIS

[Oblivion]

Graphics are satisfying, but that's mainly due to the awesome art direction. I only hope the final game stays at 60fps.

[tiesto]

This may be the first 3D platformer I actually enjoy (save the Fludd-less special stages of Sunshine).

[tiesto]

That level design looks INSANE!!!

[Himu]

The level design looks glorious. Holy fucking SHIT.

[TakingBackSunday]

There are quite a few really awesome looking DS and Wii games that weren't even MENTIONED in the conference.  Wtf Nintendo.

[The Sceneman]

did they talk about No More Heroes

[Beezy]

like what

[Christopher]

looks good.  But does it play good or is it still the same Mario 64 engine...agian?

Er...what's wrong with the Mario 64 engine? I can't even think how you could make a 3D Mario platformer without that engine.

[Oblivion]

New vids just got uploaded. Watchin now.

EdiT: Holy shit, some of these planets are HUGE. Fucking awesome.

[bachikarn]

One of the only reasons to have a wii

[hyp]

this game looks fun, apparently you can play co-op, with the second player shooting enemies on screen and stunning them -- they can stun you too.  the only wii game i'm looking forward to this year.

[Oblivion]

This game will be pretty hard too it seems.

Q: Some would say that Super Mario Sunshine was a little difficult... you said you are making this game a lot more accessible. Is it safe to assume the later levels are the more hardcore ones?
A: That's a question I struggled with a very long time. There are a number of people on the staff who thought Super Mario Sunshine was very difficult, but others thought that's what made it fun. In terms of Super Mario Galaxy. I think it's a good thing to have a suitable level of difficulty. To be honest the game was significantly easier until a few months ago and I started making it much more difficult, to the point that the team in Tokyo was starting to get worried that I was making it too difficult.

[Eduardo24]

I am very dissapointed because instead of having 15 grand areas like in Mario 64, it only has 6. 

[Oblivion]

But there are 40 galaxies, tho.

[TVC15]

No hate in this thread? Huh?

Why would their be hate?  This looks pretty great.

HOLY SHIT  TVC MAKES MISTAKES!

?  Where did I ever say anything bad about this game?  I like a lot of Nintendo games.  It just irks me that they decide to focus on (very profitable) garbage like Wii Fit.

[Eduardo24]

You can bet the 40 "galaxies" they were referring to are just the tiny planets, scattered through all the 6 areas.  Why not 15 areas like Mario 64?  Underwhelming.

[TVC15]

Yes, Metroid Prime was shit.

[BlueTsunami]

Seriously, THIS is the Nintendo I want

I'd rather have FUN rehashed IPs than a fucken Fitness game

I'll buy a wii for SMG!

Nah, they said each galaxy is going to be an actual 'level' or sequence of planets that we've been seeing. They are keeping the 'levels' smaller after the positive reaction to NSMB.

[Oblivion]

I don't think most people get the hate for Nintendo.  It's not an all encompassing hate in most cases.  It comes from the fact that Nintendo can make good games they just choose not too in most cases and instead focus on crap like Nintendo Dogs and animal cross, or worse, chubkin's stay at home fat camp.  Also Metroid Prime was shit.

Well that and they put priority on C+ level projects like Jungle Beat, while putting their AAA game (Galaxy in this case) on the backburner.

Of course, when Nintendo's NOT doing dumb things like that...

[Himu]

but i hear yi2 is better than the original

[bud]

yep. everything i've seen so far of this game just oozes awesomness. it looks like tons of fun and the game actually looks awesome and the art-direction is just..

smg>sms and maybe even sm64

[tiesto]

but i hear yi2 is better than the original

It's not... the levels are really quite sloppily put together, and towards the end of the game there are a lot of trial and error, cheap death areas. YI1 is much tighter in terms of level design. And YI2's music is really bad. YI2 isn't that bad though.

[Beezy]

smg>sms and maybe even sm64

Mario 64 wasn't that great.

[Himu]

It really wasn't.

Mario 64 kicked fucking ass at the time.

at the very least, it was better than sms.

I played SMS at length before SM64 and I enjoy SMS way more. The levels in Mario 64 bore me to death.

Jumping Flash is godly

Pretty much.

[Eduardo24]

Most people that donīt like Mario 64 didnīt play it back in the day.  The level desing, the 3d platforming, the sense of inertia, etc was something revolutionary back in the day.

[AdmiralViscen]

SM64 is a great game, you guys are crazy.

Jumping Flash>Mario 64
also yoshi's island 2 was ok.  alot of nintendo fanwank though since nintendo fans cream their pants at the sight of mascots.

The game gets tons of hate.

How can you have the balls to say "It really wasnīt" if you say later that you played Mario 64 like 8 years after release?  You DONīT KNOW what was to play this game back in 1996, so your opinion ("It really wasnīt") canīt be taken seriously.

[Oblivion]

I don't particularly care for any 3D platformers besides Jumping Flash.  My opinion has more to do with personal preferences towards the genre in general, not the particular game.

Will you not be purchasing Galaxy then?

[Oblivion]

Of course I will.  My genre prejudices rarely get in the way of me trying out games.

Coo. Wasn't implying anything, btw. Was just curious due to your comment about 3D platformers. 

[bluemax]

Mario 64 kicked fucking ass at the time.

And just like every other big name N64 game it aged horribly.

OoT, Goldeneye 64, Mario 64, PD, all of these games are complete ass today.

Your post isnīt really a good counter because he said "at the time".  And I donīt think Oot and Mario 64 have aged that badly.  Ootīs level design should be a total joke by now, and there are still a million games out there that donīt come close to the astonshing level design of the adult dungeons. Mario 64 was better designed than Sunshine.  The only things that Sunshine do better than M64 are the graphics and sound and that result of better hardware.  Mario 64 has twice as much stages and feels more like a platfomer than the borefest that Sunshine was.

Of course, since this is the internet, I have to say IMO.

You played Mario Sunshine before Mario 64?

o_O

[Himu]

Well, if you count "played" as "I played it for 2 hours when my friend brought his n64 over in 1997." I never had an N64 until my buddy let me borrow his N64 + OOT and I never gave them back (ended up selling the n64 to gamestop to get FFXI pc version on day one).

I went back and played through it after SMS, and it was average on all accounts. Boring level design;etc. etc.

The clock and flying carpet levels ruled though.

[etiolate]

Hating Mario 64 is admitting to not knowing shit about game design. 


Hell, most modern 3d platformers haven't been able to do the 3d feel of an N64 launch game.  They're just top down action adventures with a jump button and a spin move to make up for poor hit detection.

[Himu]

Hahaha

[Eduardo24]

Itīs the truth .

[Himu]

If it's because it's the very reason most 3d platformers suck donkey balls due to its influence, I'm guilty as charged.

No most can't even do what Mario 64 did, even to this day, which is why they suck balls(which was the point I made).

A lot of people can do 3d graphics, but not everyone can do 3d gameplay with actual spatial reasoning involved.
