Posted November 29, 2013 It just arrived. Just put it in an the EAD magic already exists. Beautiful...just...beautiful Just realised why @Ashley said the camera only moved in 15 degree increments. He didn't have it on Free Camera mode. Just turned that on... So you put Free Camera mode on, and the right analog stick allows for 360 degree camera movement like in Wind Waker?

Posted November 29, 2013 So you put Free Camera mode on, and the right analog stick allows for 360 degree camera movement like in Wind Waker? Pretty much, yeah. Or you could rotate the GamePad for the same effect. It all depends on the situation though. Some bits won't let you go round all the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 29, 2013 Just thought I'd check the eShop to see if I might be tempted to go digital on this one.... 60euro :o Meh I'll check GameStop the week before Xmas and see about it then Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2013 Been playing this with my brother this afternoon...great fun too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2013 Woohoo! 4 shiny stars on my profile now and just the one to go. It's gonna take some time doing that though and will probably just pick at it here and there. Absolutely quality game and although it's a little easy ( post game levels more than make up for this ) it was a joy to play from start to finish. There are some quality tracks throughout the game and like Link Between Worlds it was some great remixes of classic Mario music. Visually the game is stunning and I posted a screen on Miiverse of a level set in a forest and the lighting was simply amazing. It's a shame the Wii U install base is so low as so many people are gonna miss out on playing this gem. Their loss I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2013 Some levels are not good on multiplayer. My brother lost 30 lives on one lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2013 Woohoo! 4 shiny stars on my profile now. getting the game tromorrow, are there any rules to get the shiny stars? like not to die a certain number of times in a row ? for the help block ect ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2013 It looks like i'm in the minority here, but... I'm not getting why this game rated so quite so highly. I certainly don't consider it bad or even average but i'm not really seeing all this creativity and magic people are discussing - it feels rather pedestrian (so far, after completing World 1). Another suit, same style levels... tinkering with the formula. When it comes to Mario I've certainly been feeling franchise fatigue over the past couple of years, so maybe getting wound up in the excitement of launch was a mistake (i'd been saying 'i'll pick it up sometime' but ended up buying it late last night) I'm finding it enjoyable but I can't enthuse about this one at all; it sits there - for me with the NSMB series; second tier Mario.

Posted November 29, 2013 getting the game tromorrow, are there any rules to get the shiny stars? like not to die a certain number of times in a row ? for the help block ect ? Yeah, same as usual. Don't due too many times otherwise the help block will appear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Yeah, same as usual. Don't due too many times otherwise the help block will appear. Unfortunately, while playing with my brother, it appeared because he died a ridiculous amount of times. Ah well It looks like i'm in the minority here, but... I'm not getting why this game rated so quite so highly. I certainly don't consider it bad or even average but i'm not really seeing all this creativity and magic people are discussing - it feels rather pedestrian (so far, after completing World 1).

Think of Worlds 1 and 2 as a tutorial. As World 3 continues, and goes on through the rest of the game, the levels get so imaginative and so awesome.

As World 3 continues, and goes in, the levels get so imaginative and so awesome. I think you may be alright as long as you didn't use it. Totally agree about the worlds. The game just eases you in before unleashing the goodness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2013 Loving the extra lives mini-game: It's possible to get 4 in a row without fail by hitting the boxes in time to the music! Just thought I'd check the eShop to see if I might be tempted to go digital on this one.... 60euro :o Meh I'll check GameStop the week before Xmas and see about it then Yeah Mokong, you've gotta get it! It's the law. You own a Wii U, therefore you must buy this game! Also, Plesioth from Monster Hunter is in it!* *Sort of. Also, I want to see your Mii running around on my game. Speaking of which, just got @Mike's Mii on a level: His username was yellow instead of white, not sure if that's to do with having accomplished something specific in the game, or if it's just because he's on my friend list.

Posted November 29, 2013 Meant to be going out tonight, but keep doing the "Oh just one more level" thing. While at first I felt the controls were sluggish and not right, I now love this game Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

While at first I felt the controls were sluggish and not right, I now love this game I took a break and started Batman Arkham Origins, 30 mins later I'm back on this doing another run through with a different character.

Lol, that's not a Plesi Didn't know bout the Mii thing, that's pretty cool... though by the time I get the game you'll prolly be moved onto something else We'll see how the next few weeks go if I can put away a few to save up for it, bought Xmas gifts this week so pretty skint (good thing Zelda was last week, phew) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 29, 2013 I'd just like to further express how high my RAGE levels are that this didn't arrive today. I'm currently sat watching Eastenders drowning my sorrows with a cup of tea whilst everyone else is having Mario style fun. Cry. Glad to see how much you lot are enjoying it though! : peace: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
