Hero-of-Time Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Love seeing everyone eating crow on this now I don't see it as eating crow, rather that Nintendo released a decent trailer that got people excited. The first trailer did nothing for a lot of people, no harm in people feeling like that whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
are1981 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I've been excited since E3, but now I can't control myself! Less than two months now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zechs Merquise Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 I can see why people had concerns over this title. But at the same time, it's a 3D Mario title. They have always been awesome, people should have a little more faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Yeah that's how I see it. It wasn't the most overwhelming of intro's and all the 3DS land comparisons were off putting. But I just thought they never mess it up so it's bound to be amazing. I remember 3D land getting bad reports from E3 - too slow, levels too short and easy and bland etc. Look how that turned out!

Dante Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Looks amazing and it sounds like a good mix of Mario 3D games and Paper Mario humor in this preview. Classic 2D art! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Looks like the awesome retro art is back if you look near the logo's cat tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh64 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 That doesn't surprise me actually, I've seen a lot of very recent merchandise with this kind of 'classic' art-work on it. From cups to easter eggs and tshirts. It makes sense really, especially considering how often people use the image of 'Paper Mario' when a lot of people probably don't even know about the Paper Mario series. He's coming to an age where his image is that of Mickey Mouse, I think. And my god, this trailer is just so good. I watched it again and that music. I love that it has an open world stage as well where Mario is just messing about trying to catch things as the cat. It brings back memories of just messing around with things in Mario 64 for ages and not worrying about objectives or time constraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wii Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Anybody think the reason the pipes are transparent has some sort of a correlation with the green Sprixie fairy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dakota Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 No one else see just another Mario game? Anyone? I wouldn't fault EAD Tokyo's design as such but it all looks too familiar, way too familiar. Personally speaking, i'm finding it really difficult to get hyped for it. I should love it but I don't.

Personally speaking, i'm finding it really difficult to get hyped for it. I should love it but I don't. I do see your point. Nintendo are very fond of the wash/rinse/repeat cycle. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a level editor over there in Tokyo. This game looked abysmal at E3 but its come on leaps and bounds in the mean time and I think in the 4 months it shows why they went this route. It looks really nice now but I think Nintendo had to use the cookie cutter in order to have this out by Christmas. Take this game out of the line-up and what core Nintendo game have you got? My concern now is it could be a short game to get it out on time. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rummy Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Still gutted it's not online. I'll never play multiplayer! This is a bit of a killer for me. I saw a powerup showcase type video via Kotaku the other day, and the general footage and stuff did look pretty good. However I just kept thinking it'd be so much better in multi than single. Then I realise how hard it is not only to get everyone together now that we're older, but even when we DO get together how much we're more distracted with other things as well as gaming. Just like NSMBWii and U, I can't see myself getting this above a certain price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I hated the multiplayer when I played it at Eurogamer, far too chaotic and it just ended up being a sprint to the finish with everyone being left off screen. Single player all the way for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dakota Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 @Ronnie that's exactly how it looks to me to - although I've only seen video. It just doesn't look that interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Having thought about the trailer some more, I actually think Nintendo were quite smart with their reveals for this game. If they'd released this awesome trailer at E3 everyone would be still be moaning that it wasn't an epic Galaxy-like game and the hype would have been mixed. Instead they released a modest one, got everyone talking about the game (for better or worse) and then dropped this bomb, creating MASSES of hype, less than two months before release. It worked out for the best IMO, building the hype gradually towards release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wii Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Yes, so "smart" because they did that on purpose and wanted that backlash from E3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wii Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I read it all and your "MASSES" of hype line. I wouldn't quite go with that but we can all agree it looks miles better. Nintendo Minute -- Super Mario 3D World New Levels and Power-up! After watching that my interest dropped again. Nothing inspiring about those 2 levels, they were linear, non challenging and empty. I hope there are few as bad as those and they are more of the open world variety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
