Nintendo E3 conference of knowing it isn't for you yet complaining anyway

[TakingBackSunday]

I don't think so  

[Oblivion]

i thought aonuma did sunshine?

Nope, Aonuma hasn't been involved with any Mario games.

You should be doing Yoshiaki Koizumi, the actual guy who did Sunshine.

[TakingBackSunday]

Who's that dude who headed Jungle Beat and Galaxy...head of Tokyo

[Oblivion]

Who's that dude who headed Jungle Beat and Galaxy...head of Tokyo

Yoshiaki Koizumi.  

edit: goddamn it. beaten again.

since we're on the subject, all the other stuff he's done for reference:

Super mario 64- assistant director
Zelda: OoT - 3D system -director
Zelda: MM - co-director
Mario Sunshine - Director
Zelda: WW - Assistant director
DK: Jungle Beat - Director
SMG - Director

[cool breeze]

The guy who did Sunshine also did Galaxy?

[TakingBackSunday]

Yoshiaki Koizumi 

[cool breeze]

he got a lot more talented between Sunshine and Galaxy

[Oblivion]

Yoshiaki Koizumi

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Fuck, I got to buy a Wii now 

A new, hardcore Mario title

Mario Galaxy 2 looks fucking awesome, and I'm amazed they had the good sense to reuse a great engine for a sequel. Here, I would expect Nintendo's interest in non-games to supersede its tendency to milk Mario. But, milked mustachioed mascot or not, it's obvious Galaxy 2 will be the first or second-best game on the system. I'm tentatively guessing this will be more difficult (pretty please) and even zanier than number one. Yoshi sucked in Sunshine, but I have a feeling they're doing something different with him this time.

I was right!

[Oblivion]

Q: Does Galaxy's difficulty level rival the second half of Sunshine's?

A: That's a question that I've struggled with for a very long time. There are a number of people on staff who think Sunshine was too difficult. But at the same time we have team members who liked the game because of the difficulty. In terms of Galaxy, my feeling is that it is a good thing to have a suitable level of difficulty. To be honest, the game was significantly easier until a few months ago, and then I started making it harder until the team in Tokyo became concerned that I was making it too difficult.

I don't get why people think that Miyamoto would somehow hinder or worsen a project. Well, okay I understand the fear people have based on stuff like Wii Fit and Wii Music and the like, and that stuff like Mario may be 'casualized' or whatever. But his design philosophies are clearly different when dealing with traditional games. Just cause he makes bad non-games nowadays as well doesn't necessarily mean he's forgotten how to make good games.

Galaxy 2 has recycled content. 

[archie4208]

Galaxy 2 has recycled content. 

Now now, 90% new is a pretty good ratio for a Nintendo sequel. 

As long as there's enough new stuff, I won't mind much if there are some old levels with new challenges so long as said new challenges are somewhat well thought out.

It's not as bad as say, Punch-Out, but Mario Galaxy was one of the most refreshing and creative games in years and there could be a ton of wacky things that they could come up with.  Any recycled content is a disappointment.

[Tucah]

The Miyamoto roundtable thing starts soon, GAF's all hyped up for it but there's probably going to be nothing new.

[Great Rumbler]

The Miyamoto roundtable thing starts soon, GAF's all hyped up for it but there's probably going to be nothing new.

I think at last year's roundtable the press finally got him to announce that Pikmin 3 was in development, but that was all.

[border]

I think at last year's roundtable the press finally got him to announce that Pikmin 3 was in development, but that was all.

Yeah, and exactly what good was that?  Where is Pikmin 3 this year?

I think Miyamoto made it all up, just due to the awful showing last year.  He was probably feeling sympathetic to his former fans that were forced to sit through so many dull demos.  So he threw them a bone and told a little white lie.  Can't say I blame him.

[Tucah]

SSBB was apparently announced at one of these too or something.

[Crushed]

i thought Cassamina fudged it and Miyamoto actually just revealed the pikmin wii remake last year?

No, they said it was actually Pikmin 3.

80 levels in NSMB Wii

[demi]

overlord 2 comes out this month. no need for pikmin. 1080p delicious goodness

[castle007]

More than 90 percent of what you will see in Super Mario Galaxy 2 is all brand new. Maybe even 95 percent. Miyamoto talks over the trailer. Galaxy 2 contains roughly the same amount of content as the original.


 

[cool breeze]

NSMB Wii is the reason we are getting Galaxy 2 later rather than sooner 

[Oblivion]

That's fine since it'll give them time to polish and refine the game.

[castle007]

Is it a REAL SMB, with full fledged well thought of single player levels and campaign? because I'm really puzzled by them showing the multilayer part of it during the conference. The MP didn't look that different from the one in the DS iteration, and while that was an ok distraction I never bothered myself with it beyond the the first 10 minutes I spent trying it when I first got the game.

I really don't mind getting SMG2 next year if this game is at least at the same level of quality as the previous one.

yes, it has a full fledged single player mode, Nintendo just wanted to focus on the MP aspect of it during the conference

[Oblivion]

There are people who think of Zelda more as an RPG with simpler controls, so trying to figure out how to make everybody happy is something that's going to concern me," says Miyamoto

[bachikarn]

I want to play a Link going through a mid-life crisis.

[castle007]

It shows link and a female in blue in a robe. It's a painting. He wants to annonce it next year. And I should be motion plus compatible. Maybe only wii motion plus

[castle007]

Wii is already being overpowered by what's happening on screen in New Super Mario Bros Wii. So no power left for online

 

[bachikarn]

yeah, apparently 2 gamecubes aren't enough to make a DS game online.

[Mr. Gundam]

I'm fast forwarding through the Nintendo conference right now. Metroid Other M looks a lot like Ninja Gaiden set in the Metroid universe.

[AdmiralViscen]

metroid and mario party: sidescrolling both look like shit.

It's a full 2D Mario game.

[AdmiralViscen]

Yea, maybe. I'm not into parsing one liners from people who barely speak English. I'll believe it when I see it demoed. I'm sure it'll have a single player mode but will it be finely tuned and optimized? I think we'll be lucky if it's as good as NSMB on DS.

NSMB1 was just pretty good and the video I saw of this looks outright dull. And it's the only game coming out for the rest of this year. SMG2 will obviously rock and I guess maybe Metroid might be ok, but that trailer sure wasn't showing it outside of being third person. I'm going to laugh if it winds up being like Sonic Unleashed meets Wario Ware with quickie, instantaneous first person pointer minigames.

The trailer showed it starting out with single-player and playing just like any other Mario.

Yes, I have no doubt that this game will be playable with one controller. Like Mario Party.

Is level design at the top of their checklist or is it 'fun competitive co op'? And even if they are going for single player level design, can they do better than NSMB?

[Crushed]

What the hell dude, just watch videos, it's a true 2D Mario platformer and it looks really fun. 

[AdmiralViscen]

Are there more than 2 videos now?

My favorite part is how the screen freezes for everyone whenever someone dies or touches a power up. Especially since 4 power ups appear at a time.

Show me the video that shows the single player experience surpassing NSMB.

[Crushed]

Christ, you're fucking mad about this. 

[AdmiralViscen]

Actually IGN does have some new videos of single player. It appears that 3 CPU controlled dudes follow you around all the time?

I don't know about mad, but why should I be happy to have a single hardcore game this year, that's barely hardcore at all? And why do you have to defend it so voraciously?


I guess this is the big single player video? http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-09-new-super/50341

Yea, NSMB, now at $50 and not portable. I'll put it in the maybe pile.

By "people" Miyamoto is refering to himself in the 3rd person. That guy has been refering to Zelda as an RPG for over a decade now and yet he's still the only one to do so.

Zelda's an adventure game with RPG elements maybe, but not an RPG.

Just showed my wife the footage from New Super Mario Bros Wii. She was fist pumping the air. Mantra family buying a Wii confirmed.

I then showed her the Mario Galaxy 2 footage. I wish I recorded her hilarious audio commentary for YouTube, as it would piss off Nintendo fanboys worldwide. "What is this shit! Too confusing! Make it simple! What? What the fuck is going on? How do you know where you're going? That stupid 3D Mario game on the Nintendo 64 took forever to figure out! Just keep it going from left to right! Wait, what the fuck? Flying around? Oh no. Fuck no. No fucking way."

 

[TakingBackSunday]

tell her to go play wii fit and eff off 

[Mr. Gundam]

tell her to go play wii fit and eff off 

She doesn't like Wii Fit. She'd rather go for a run around the lake or to the gym instead of "fucking around on a stupid balance board videogame."

Mario Galaxy is an awesome game, but I thought her commentary was a riot, actually. You should see her make fun of JRPGs. Shin Megami Tensei Digital Devil Saga, specifically.

[TakingBackSunday]

that's not what I was implying

[DJ_Tet]

Reggie: It's going to be, if you will, for more of that passionate Mario fan who grew up getting challenged with Super Mario World. It's going to be much more in that area.

Who the hell was challenged with Super Mario World?

[pilonv1]

yes distant suggest that your wife is fat and then tell her to "fuck off"

no wonder brandnew never gets laid

[T-Short]

NSMB Wii looks atrocious, same terrible art as in the DS version, and slow zzzz tempo. level designs in the trailer looked uninspired

Galaxy 2 can be just what I wanted if it includes a challenge. After playing SMG I thought a harder mission pack would make it great. Shame about including Yoshi 

Everything else is too uninteresting to comment on.

Well it makes sense though. Didn't Nintendo say they are going to ramp up the difficulty in SMG 2 and have it appeal pretty much exclusively to the more "LOLOLOL HARDCORE" market?

I still can't believe Nintendo pretty much made me happy with Wii this year. I play 90% of my console games on PS3 but if there was one game on Wii that really justified buying it it was SMG.
