david.dakota Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I am really surprised we're seeing a 3D-world Mario first, rather than a New Super Mario Bros. I'd have thought they'd push that first - not that I'm complaining. Could this be the big Christmas game for 3DS? I mean Nintendo have rarely shown a game earlier than a year from launch (Skyward Sword being the exception), so I think its a safe bet we'll see this at Christmas - knocking any chance of Mario Kart being out before Easter 2012... although that does mirror the Wii release exactly.
Mike Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Wow, these screens look amazing, I can't wait to find out more about this one. I wonder whether the 3D really will make such a big difference when you're jumping?
Ronnie Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 It'll be interesting to see what the difference in scale will be between this and one of the Galaxy games. Perhaps not such a fully fledged adventure as the console Mario's but something close would be amazing.
Arnieboy Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Looks really good, I'm glad they're starting out with a 3d Mario game and not a sidescroller. If it plays anything like Galaxy 1 or 2 then it'll be sweeet.
Retro_Link Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I'm just glad Mario hasn't decided to take another holiday lately!
LostOverThere Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Great, and I still have Galaxy 2 to play... Dude.......
The Peeps Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 Yeah I've still not played Galaxy 2 yet (lack of money!). I'm a lot more excited for this game now there are screenshots.
ShadowV7 Posted March 2, 2011 Posted March 2, 2011 I loved the screenshots of this game. I have to say I got a Super Mario 64 vibe from this, and to be frank, that's exactly what I want. God I love that game. Platforming genious.
Dante Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 We know about the shadow Raccoon tail but what is with the no colour for super?
Ashley Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 We know about the shadow Raccoon tail but what is with the no colour for super?
LostOverThere Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 What is with the no colour for super? A hint at a new gameplay mechanic or design change, perhaps? Edit: I just realised I drew a massive conclusion from no-where. Go me! While I'm at it, I notice that the game doesn't have an official name yet. Surely this means Miyamoto is busy working on Pikmin 3.
Cube Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 On top of the lack of colour in "Super", in the bottom left picture (without the hat) Mario looks really small. It may just be the run animation but it still looks too small for that. So perhaps it has the classic health system (Standard Mario - Super Mario - Super Mario + Power-Up)

So perhaps it has the classic health system (Standard Mario - Super Mario - Super Mario + Power-Up) I think it may just be the tiny mushroom from NSMB? But levelled health would also be neat! Or a return to Tiny Huge Island or whatever it was called!
Cube Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Or a return to Tiny Huge Island or whatever it was called! They could call it Little-Big Planet.
Hamishmash Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 I don't understand why nobody is as excited about this as I am. This looks so different to all the 3D Mario games - this is LITERALLY Super Mario Bros 3... but on a 3D plane. The whole little mario, super mario thing just has be so hyped. It looks beautiful.
Retro_Link Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 Why do you assume no one is as excited as you? I think everyone here is fucking hyped!
david.dakota Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 They could call it Little-Big Planet. And be sued. Probably. I don't understand why nobody is as excited about this as I am. This looks so different to all the 3D Mario games - this is LITERALLY Super Mario Bros 3... but on a 3D plane. The whole little mario, super mario thing just has be so hyped. It looks beautiful. We know next to nothing about the game. Its clearly taking some inspiration from Mario 3, but judging by at least one of the shots (Star token coin), it'll maintain the level structure of Mario 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy. The Mario Bros series - including New SMB - is simply about playing the level to the end and moving on. Yes, there are tons of collectables, but they're not really essential.
LostOverThere Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 I would like to play this game. I too share similar sentiments.
mcj metroid Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Why am i getting the impression they are going to make this game... backwards.. like mario running TOWARDS the screen?...
Serebii Posted April 20, 2011 Posted April 20, 2011 http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-04-20-super-mario-3ds-due-out-this-year Miyamoto saying we should get it this year. Awesome if true
Beverage Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I think everyone here is fucking hyped! I am SO fucking psyched that I keep getting boners and when my dick enlargens it makes that power-up noise like when Mario eats a 'shroom Why am i getting the impression they are going to make this game... backwards.. like mario running TOWARDS the screen?... That's what I've been suggesting (video at E3 showing a bit of in-game footage, and these pictures), and I really hope that the camera isn't constantly angled at that view point.
Retro_Link Posted April 21, 2011 Posted April 21, 2011 I can't see why they'd make a Mario game like that, surely for the purpose of promo images, it's nice to see the character front on as opposed to looking at the back of their head the whole time. It's a Mario after all!
