    Mother site had new images of SMBB, now Amazon has put up a new SMG video.

     

    WARNING: Spoilers!

     

    Amazon

    That new trailer is great, but I hate those parts with people pretending to play the game. So I put together my own version with only the in-game footage, check it out here:

    I downloaded it earlier, the first video took absolutely ages to load! The rest of them were really quick though.

     

    But yeah very cool vids, especially the first one. I'd seen it before on YouTube or something but it's obviously much better on TV and with decent quality sound, I was surprised by the sound actually as it had a bit of 5.1 going on! :awesome: Really added to the cinematic quality of it.

     

    Anyway, I'm definitely hyped up for this game again now. :yay:

    Okay, I'm too close to breaking and seeing everything. I think I am going to ask one of the mods to ban me from the thread. So who do I ask exactly?
    I can sort that out for you. (and anyone else that's close to breaking :heh:)

     

    Just send me a PM and let me know if you're completely sure you want to be banned from the thread.

     

    Remember, you can be un-banned whenever you want.

     

    : peace:

    So glad to see something new from this game at last! :smile:

    I had fears it might even have been cancelled a while back.

     

    It's certainly seeing quite a lengthy development time though, hopefully means it will be a very extensive game.

     

    I really hope the drum kit section shown at E3 06 is still part of this too.

    Perhaps the arrows are to help beginners and then, once you get used to it, maybe they can be switched off and you can play without them?
    That would make the most sense, and perhaps you'll be able to adjust how they're displayed, transparency levels ect...

    I imagine it would be a bit too confusing in multiplayer otherwise. :heh:

     

    Anyway, I think this looks absolutely fantastic. The video shows just how much scope there is for strategic play, and being able to accurately move the ball to any space you want is going to have such a huge impact on games.

    If they nail this control setup I think it could well be the best configuration for a football game, ever.

     

    Only gripe at the moment is with shaking the Nunchuck to shoot, purely because there could be issues with responsiveness that way. :hmm: I'm sure the controls will be customizable anyway, I think I'd prefer to have shooting mapped to a button.

    Can people please try to keep any media from this game in spoiler tags from now on?

     

    Even if you don’t really consider it a spoiler yourself, remember that some people want to avoid seeing anything from the game until they play it.

     

    That way everyone can enjoy this thread.

     

    Thanks.

    : peace:

    Well Gameplay have it down for £17.99 pre-order now, and they were one of the first stores to lower the Big Brain Academy Wii price down from £35 to £17.99, so it seem's this may well be a budget title.
    Looks like it was a mistake:

    It's gone up on other sites too. Luckily I ordered when it was £18! :smile:

     

    Was debating cancelling it the other day too (what with all the strike shit that's going on) but now that it's not budget I'll be sticking with it. Hope Royal Mail's running when this comes out though! :hmm:

    New US Date: TBD

     

    Could they be getting a delay to 2008, too?

    It would certainly seem so, and the Sonic update is to soften the blow a bit. :heh:

     

    I think that's great though. It'll mean extra polish for the game, and even up the release dates over all regions.

     

    I love the trailer they did for Sonic, although my ears have suffered irreversible damage! :laughing: The other trailer was also fantastic, it's amazing just how much variety there is in this game.

    Motorcycles? Is it just me or this terrible? I hope this isn't so.
    I agree, not liking the sound of that at all. :sad:

     

    Seems Nintendo really want to take Mario Kart in a different direction, I'm sure it'll turn out great, but I'd much rather they kept close to the roots of the franchise.

    Still, be interesting to see how it turns out.

    Im glad to see I wasnt the only one who struggled with it :)

     

    Can anyone tell me where to find the map on Mount Desma?

     

    [spoiler=]I have blown the entrance up with the Pirate Ship but i just cant find the map guy.

    Took me ages to find the map guy in that area, he's pretty well hidden...

     

    ...he's in the bodyguard salon, one of the hooded guys at the bar.

    blimey not worth it!
    Actually it is. :wink:

    Well if you want to see the extra ending that is, (and trust me, you do.) as you have to collect all of the recipes for one of the Rupee Goods.

    Yeah I struggled a bit as well.

     

    [spoiler=]One of the big problems was the fact by Bodyguard kept getting in the way and pushing the barrels around, and also the captain was fast and kept pushing my barrels out the way.

    I did that part without a bodyguard! He died just before and I couldn't be bothered to extend the contract (wanted to change to a different one anyway) so I went on without him. Think it probably helped though as there was no one to get in the way! :heh:

     

    Was still bloody tricky mind you, a lot of luck involved in that particular battle.

    I tried not to watch that intro vid, but yeah, I failed. :laughing:

     

    What can I say though, simply stunning...

     

    ...It looks so good in that video, it’s actually exceeding my expectations. That shot when you see the castle in the distance and the water reflecting all the lights completely made my jaw drop!

    :o

     

    I love the return of the airships and the music from Mario 3 too, and the whole epic feel to it.

    Man I just can't wait for this game!!

    Anyway, good luck to everyone that's trying to avoid this and any other SMG media. You're literally going to have to shut yourself away in an empty room until the game comes out to do so, :heh: now that the advertising campaign is underway.

    I'm looking for ,the green square and yellow triangle in the Fairy Garden to revive the springs.

    It can be quite tricky to find all the various items in the Fairy Garden, the ones where you dig at the weird shrine things on the map are easy, as are the ones you get from battling enemies, but there are a few obscure ones too that involve digging in not so obvious places.

     

    So yeah, if you're still stuck it's most probably one of the buried ones, just keep digging. :smile:

     

    Damn, only missing one Rupee Item...

     

    I am missing Item 28. I think it's probably related to the guy in the swamp who needs the star stickers. I got one sticker, but I don't remember how or where I got it. How do you get these stickers anyway and where can I find the rest?

    The only way to get the 3 stickers...

     

    ...is to collect all of the empty bottles, 22 in total I think it is. :hmm:

    I had to backtrack to earlier sections of the game to find the last few bottles, at which point I received the final sticker.

    So I have just made it into Lon Lon Meadow and was randomly digging with my new shovel and a blue chest popped out of the ground. I tried opening it with Tingle but he couldnt, do I need a certain bodyguard to help me out here?
    You'll find out how to open them later on in the game, but if you want to know in advance...

     

    ...your ocarina will get upgraded by the pirates, at which point you can use it to open those treasure chests. It can also be used to help locate any remaining buried ones, which is pretty handy. :awesome:

    I reckon the girl in the background of that photo would make a better Samus than the one that does Lara:

     

    larasamus4hc7.jpg

     

    Not like it's that important though, even Nintendo can't decide on her image, she looks different in every bloody game! :heh:

     

    So be honest, you wouldnt see her face to the end of the movie if theydid it right so it matters not what she looks like.
    You can guarantee that if there is ever a Metroid movie they will completely mess that aspect of it up, a la Judge Dread. Especially if it was done with a famous actress.

     

    Bob Hopkins, to me he still is the one and only Mario!
    Surely not, what about...

    Can't say I'm that bothered by it really, only got 2 of them though.

     

    On the one hand it is a bit of a waste, but on the other (like / nando / already mentioned) you do get a spare case for a replacement or whatever.

     

    It'd be interesting to know how the majority of people top up, points card or online purchase. :hmm:

     

    I might try getting some via the channel next time, can you get however many points you want that way, or is it set amounts?

    Is there a way to not make chuckles suck so much. As a bodyguard he doesn't really do anything. Medium body guards are supposed to be good with their hands but chuckles just shrugs 24/6
    Yeah, the clown bodyguard has purposely bad AI. Makes them really annoying to use, you're better off with the female warrior (will basically attack anything that moves :heh: ) or one of the suit wearing guys (will only attack when you command, but will always obey) for a medium bodyguard.

     

    well all I can say is hope you guys were right! I picked this up today not played a lot at all...literally a couple of mins walked to the pool and back...
    Cool, hope you enjoy it.

     

    I collected the remaining Rupee Goods yesterday and got the extra ending, incredibly amusing it was. :o

    Definitely worth collecting all the items for.
