@Marco le Polo

Haha, love it, I actually live a cuppla blocks from where that was filmed.

@TraceurRyuk Part III

Wat

@TraceurRyuk Part III
(B)+(Down) Statue Form! I am now invulnerable to your misguided love of Cape Mario.

Cape:
Dive Bomb Attack
Endless Flying
Longer attack range

Tanooki Suit:
Useless Statue Form
Limited Flight
Short attack range (tail)

Cape wins

@Yuglyoshi Its going to be a 5D platformer with 4D graphics.

@Yuglyoshi
The point is that 3d screens make 3d platforming easier, so it will be 3d. Thats what he means by judging the space in 3d.

@KaBob799 so it's a 3d within a 3d, a little bit more and were getting into inception levels of complication here.

@Yuglyoshi

Honestly no-one seems to know. What we're thinking is 3D, but designed more like the 2D games (think Galaxy 2, not Galaxy 1, but Galaxy 2 with more blocks and stuff like the older games have)

@Nofriendo If they did that, they would have to come in a two-cartridge set!

Either way, I'd still buy it.

@Nofriendo

Hammer Bros. Suit was like the Holy Grail of suits.

That makes it sound more like some Kid Chameleon shenanigans

@Halgrimur I agree, Nintendo could use another hit ip.

@Halgrimur: Mario games have changed a LOT over time, dude. It's very easy to see: just put Super Mario Bros. next to Super Mario Bros. 3, or Super Mario Bros. 3 next to Super Mario World, or Super Mario World next to Super Mario 64, or Super Mario 64 next to Super Mario Sunshine, or Super Mario Sunshine next to Super Mario Galaxy. Oh, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii with its 4-player mayhem? Very different experience from any other Super Mario game (or any other platformer, for that matter).

As for the remakes and re-releases, nobody's forcing you to buy them.

@Halgrimur

I know you're trolling, good sir, and I fully respect your intentions. And as far as I can say, you were trollsome in that effect.

Now go play Super Smash Bros and collect all the Nintendo characters figurines, and have a good day.

I said, have a good day.

PS: I must admit I was intrigued by the Chocolate Lesbian Fountain idea. Are the lesbians, in this case, made of pure chocolate?

@Dashx747

Unless you're looking to do something really weird like eat one, I don't know why you'd care, pal. Lesbians. Covered in chocolate, or made of chocolate, concentrated at a central point of access

I think You misaprehend me.
There are Mario games that I consider groundbreaking (for their time) and most have a decent enough amount of fun pumped into them to completely justify the price. My actual first encounter with Mario was on a Chinese clone of the NES that were sold in the countries of the Former Soviet Union under the name Dendy, and I was blown away by it (from what I remember anyway, we are going back a good 15-ish years). I've also thoroughly enjoyed Super Mario World on the SNES and even bought Super Mario 64 with my NDS(the very first one, that looked like a grey brick), naively thinking things could be different. And although I haven't played the original Super Smash Bros, but the Brawl variety I was introduced to by a couple of my friends who were massive fans and yeah, I had fun, mainly when the stars aligned in such a way that I could see what the hell was going on and actually knew the moves of the various obscure characters.
Mario is very much the Isaac Asimov of video games, in the sense that Mr. Asimov's works have been published in nine of the ten major categories of the Dewey Decimal System and I can't really think of a video game genre that is yet to get a dedicated Mario game. Well, maybe the Interactive Erotic Novel but those only really get released in Japan.
Surely, the franchise that has given us so much in gaming (both brilliant and abominable) deserves a little dignity. Mario jumped the proverbial shark when he went into space, isn't it time, to let the charming Italian plumber have his rest? Because if there is anything that annoys me about the current Nintendo games creation policy, it is its complete creative stagnation. New ideas are scarce and usually minimal in implementation. All I'm saying is that if Valve tried to release a new Half Life with, say, a new gun or a different type of physics-based puzzle (or a slow-moving elevator, amirite?) and no hint of any other improvement we would think they have gone completely batshit bananas, so why is Nintendo allowed to get away with it?
Pah, its 6 am and I sound like a conspiracy theorist on heavy skunk, so I will shut up.

@Halgrimur
If you consider Mario to be a pinnacle of narrative ability, I would understand your disappointment with a lack of finality to the Mario "character". However, think a bit and you'll realize that Mario is merely a conduit, an easily recognizable name (akin to video games being referred to as "the nintendo" in the 90's), and his existence is dedicated solely to serve Nintendo's whims, such as overworlds, polygons, virtual 3D and now real 3D. Granted, the fact that his name is continuously tarnished via sports compilations and the DSi gems Mario Calculator and Mario Clock, that still doesn't matter much because he's not a character I care about outside of his jumping, running, flying and gravity-manipulating skills.

@Halgrimur

Super Mario 64 next to Super Mario Sunshine.

Wait. WAT! Aside from missing a few of mario's signature moves in 64, I found the similarities so striking, it bothered me. Then about an hour later, I realized this was one step forwards followed by two steps back. Sorry Sunshine, you just didn't cut it.

@Halgrimur

If Valve released a new Half Life game that was a five minute .mpg of Gabe taunting fans and eating money I would still be happy.

Just please tell me it's coming... *tear*

@Halgrimur

Your argument is no different than those complaining about the next Madden, the next Zelda, the next Halo, etc. There's never a valid point to be made. These are highly lucrative, globally recognized franchises we're dealing with here. Ratings are consistently high, they make an absolute killing in sales year after year-- companies will not kill their flagship franchise because you've grown tired of it. If these games were truly identical, we'd see what happened to Atari happen today. The market will decide when these franchises have gotten stale.

The only thing I'm hoping is it's nothing like Galaxy. I know I'm in the extreme minority, but I didn't care for those games one bit.

@Razer922: Hopefully it'll have 64's large, open levels with Galaxy's crazy power-ups and gravity stuff. That would be brilliant.

Galaxy style gameplay with SM64 style levels could quite possibly be the greatest game of all time.

@Razer922 that was a great observation, and YES that was the intent.

@Razer922 I'm with you. Except I won't even be shy about it, Galaxy 1 and 2 are my two least favorite Mario platformers by a long shot. Everything felt like a loosely tied together, short obstacle course with little freedom. Just didn't do it for me.

@Misanthropic Gamer
I don't think 2d graphics would have made new super mario bros any better or worse as far as fun goes.

@Misanthropic Gamer
So true.
It is ridiculous how easy they are now. And what happened to all the good power suits? The best thing that they come up with now is the penguin?
Anyways, I'm very happy to here that this will be a 3d and NOT a 2d platformer like nsmb

@Misanthropic Gamer
there will be 2d mario games for generations to come

@ShadowXIII

Indeed.

@Air King
Now *that* would be an awesome suit...

@Mrguy you know that guy
I dont know if you are being serious.

@Brodo
He's talking about last year's E3.

@Brodo hey you think that was bad? you know how many people play that arcade drum game like crazy? it is very much like DDR. If you didn't like it, it's ok, but this game is great fun. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR46xrjSB6I it was odd how it was presented though i agree. him facing the audience. and the screen on the side.

however Nintendo owned E3 more than a few times the last years, since DS announcement, wii, etc. so did last year with 3DS and it is about to own it once more. Only microsoft managed to beat nintendo with E3 presentations. and that is when they presented kinect.

cheers!
