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. All the levels will be linear. That's how this series works and has worked since Mario Galaxy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) I don't remember Galaxy being as linear as this. Obviously it not as open ended as Super Mario 64. I've Galaxy 2 that I've never played. I might just play a few levels to compare it's linearity to this and get back to you. I remember Galaxy as while say you had the end goal. You'd go A-D-G. In between you could choose either B or C and either E or F. I don't know if that makes sense and it's years since I played the game so I could be remembering it wrong.

Posted October 3, 2013 In fairness Nintendo does have a tendency of only showcasing early levels/areas of games anyway, which aren't typically challenging. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Galaxy was exactly like this but with wacky physics and repeating the level three times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 3, 2013 Galaxy had branching paths in every level, this one won't. (not saying that's a bad thing) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 3, 2013 Why wouldn't it? Super Mario 3D Land did... Every level of Mario Galaxy had multiple branching paths, compared to maybe one secret exit per world in 3D Land? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 3, 2013 Galaxy was incredibly linear. Galaxy was exactly like this but with wacky physics and repeating the level three times. I've been playing Galaxy 2 this evening and you don't repeat the level 3 times. You might get sent back to the start of the level but it's usually heavily remixed and then you get shot off on a completely different path and new part of the level. You can also unlock other galaxies from within that level. I'm sure it'll be good but I have my doubts it'll be truly great. Those levels I posted earlier of 3D World on top of everything else were really short. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 4, 2013 I don't see why they can't have Galaxy levels. If they can copy/paste 3D Land levels then Galaxy would be easier. I jest But honestly it would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted October 7, 2013 The stamp collectable in each level and the way you use them on Miiverse is such a clever idea, I hope they implement this in more games. It'd be Nintendo's way of doing achievements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 7, 2013 They're not much of an achievement. I've seen a few so far and they were all in plain sight. For it to be an achievement I'd expect you to earn them by say reaching an impossibly high area or some platforming perfection. I hope the other stamps are more difficult to obtain, I'd like there to be some challenge. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 7, 2013 I don't quite get how they work, you literally use them to stamp all over your miiverses?! But only within mario obviously. What's the normal image and then the stamps, don't understand their connection Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
