huh ... o.O well then I guess new games for new systems are a little to much to ask for nowadays XD

Well, I do wish for a new 3DS DKC and 2DPROPERMetroid since I REALLY enjoyed Kid Icarus and is definately going in my book of CLASSICS.

But yeah, NSMB-the-same-styled-shit-again-with-old-shit-you-like is really boiling me up D:

it's just like nintendo to milk the franchise for all it's worth, unfortunately.

I don't have a problem with them milking the franchise~ The titles are usually always high quality.

I'm just ANGRY that they don't want to change up the art style and feel.
We've been suck in this disgusting cloggy tasteless NSMB style since 2006 and I wish for at least a new style or something.

Not... NSMB again.

It's like Mario Kart too. MK64 had this.. FAR OUT fisheye speedy feeling, with rock organs n shit in the OST

But... MKWii and 7 just seem to be riding off MKDS's wagon with that... "Wii+Mii" feel to it that just feels... OFF.

Nintendo really like playing it safe when it come to their games

This should be a surprise to nearly nobody.

I have not played NSMB. The last new game I played was about 5 levels of mario galaxy.

I think we have to point this to being "Angry Birds" [only example i can think of]. Mario is a nice game, one that people won't mind buying it again with few changes made. It will keep working, and it will work for a massive amount of people. I dont know if Mario, Angry or any other game is the top seller right now. It's just one of those games that can still almost brake the "non-gamer" barrier. While others like Sonic have fell/rise or Megaman which is reborn then slowly dies off.

Sooner or later, those KFC biscuits are gonna choke the gamers. Sadly I don't think the business will see it since it will continue to bring in that Millions of dollars profit for a long time.

i loved mario galaxy it really gave me that kinda awe tingle you get when you first play games like thats actually fun like ocarina of time when you first go out into the field just amazing feeling and i got that with galaxy and galaxy two it kinda deadened a little still super fun but ehh

Nintendo have SUCH potential as a games company, they could come up with some ground-breaking and amazing new franchises. Yet they sit and recycle the same overused things again and again, donkey kong, SMB, zelda, frigging metroid. as much as these games are good, they are overused and stale. Every-time anybody mentions Nintendo i just think of a huge bovine-eque production factory; Mario, princess peach and all the other famous character with huge swollen udders, branded Nintendo, milked constantly begging "MAKE IT STOP!!"

But yeah.....they need fresh material for sure ^..^

I guess a large problem is that NSMB felt nice for the first time since it was one of the first few non-remake games to have a slight sense of nostalgia, heck when NSMB Wii came out, i absolutely squee'd at the inclusion of the Koopalings!

But it seems redundant to do another NSMB title, they have pretty much pulled out all the stocks, Mario 3D Land was nice and the Tanuki Tails actually had some relation to the plot, but it seems like they're trying too hard to pander to the audience, and the general theme of NSMB feels slightly artificial with weird stuff like moving mushroom platforms that sways.....pretty sure the original Super Mario Bros only had weird dual lift things....


If they really want to pander to the Audience, they should really make a NSMB that is more reminiscent of Super Mario World, at least i assume the purpose of the subseries was to inspire nostalgia by going through certain bits of each game as it progressed, but i barely remember Yoshi in Wii....it might have been placed there because he was also in Galaxy 2, where Yoshi had a more interesting purpose. :0


Guess it is sort of easy to top 3D Mario games after every new game as long as they're console ones, but the handheld ones feels....sorta small, it's weird. (an example is Galaxy's Hub-based system that unlocks more as you get stars, vs Galaxy 2's need to get stars to open up levels semi-linearly, though both games are great in their own right)

I just want another Fzero...we havent had a new one since Gamecube

and also hope they dont do a NSMB version of yoshi island/story

Exactly! That's how I felt when I played the first NSMB. It was fun, but I'd much rather be playing the REAL Super Mario Bros games.

Well I am sure things will change if people ranted loud enough about this recycled wet mess

Ha, Nintendo's running out of things to rehash. Heaven forbid they actually focus on a new IP.

Welp this looks pretty stale and nasty.

But it couldn't be worse than Other M was, could it?

Oh no LOL

It'll probably be an alright game, but it's still gonna feel STALE.

In the near impossible event that it somehow does, I think my head will probably implode into a singularity.

MARIO IS A DOWN AND OUT DRUG ADDICT, HE NEEDS DRAIN CLEANER TO LIVE, AND DOCTOR PRINCESS PEACH HAS THE ONLY ANTIDOTE.

..... >.>
..... <.<
I liked NSMB, and I've been around long enough to have had Atari 2600 when it was just released, not to mention the original SMB ^^;;

Let us not forget that Mario has done more things and been in more settings than any other mascot.

Variety dammit.

*goes back to Sonic Generations* DON'T JUDGE ME!

I know, I know, I love the shit out of the mario franchise, but the main games, man. The main games.

I wish they'd FUNK IT UP a bit, you know?
Not go with more NSMB blandness :[

Just say it man. We want Mario 3 part 2.

Just Say it.

:( But I like Capes and Dinos.

Not Plumbers in fursuits.

And I want a Cadillacs and Dinosaurs 2. And a Battle Circuit 2.

It's fun to dream.

New Super Mario Brothers... ugh...

To me, it feels like it's pretending to be Super Mario World, except OMG 3D OMG MODERNISH NEW STUFF

Really, the gameplay feels uninteresting, the design just seems to be "see this from Super Mario World? Make it 3D, and don't really make it seem unique at all".

The sound design... meh... It's Mario, so they just re-use a lot of sound effects or make new ones that sound like they existed already.

The music though. The music feels horrifically, HORRIFICALLY repetitive and even unenthusiastic, like they're trying WAY too hard to somehow merge the music from Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Bros., and instead it's like this really really generic salsa music. Hell, all I can hear in my head when I think about the music: NA-NA-NA-NA, NA NA NANA, NA-NA-NA-NA, NA NA NANA, NA-NA-NA-NA, NA NA NANA, NA-NA-NA-NA, NA NA NANA, NA-NA-NA-NA, NA NA NANA, NANANANANANAAA...

just... the music is what killed it for me, on the first level even. I waded through the game to like the 2nd castle, then was like "forget this" and went and did a white-wash purge of the infected brain cells by playing the original Super Mario Bros, beat that in a single sitting, no warps.

Sort of feel like Mario Bros. is more or less going "use this mold for instant success" when it comes to the design of the games, innovation and change in design being replaced with "do what probably resulted in 20 million unit sales".

I kinda wish they went back to 2D pixel graphics for the new Mario games.

No no, biscuits have too much water in them. Hardtack is the word you want.

i think that older gamers nostalgia plays a big part of it; but mostly i think it is simply too much random and forced pretty for a side scroller like mario. ^^;

I personally found the recent Mario games that I've played - New Super Mario Bros. (DS) and Super Mario 3D land to be wonderful blends of nostalgia and originality. I can't wait to see what they do with this one.

This looks like a really bad Mario fangame. Like someone literally just took NSMBWii and all of it's tilesets and just rearranged them into new levels, slapped a few new enemies into it and called it a day.

LAZY!

Really, I'm getting tired of this plasticy, rounded-out, cheap candy look. It worked for Galaxy 1, I let Galaxy 2 slide, but it really ran out when 3DS Land came out. And it feels weird and lifeless. Hell, there's little to no texture.. no shadows.. It feels like a step back from Yoshi's Island and Paper Mario.

It's like stale Nick-kids toons. A Non-offensive, non-inspiring, relaxed-to-the-point-of-comatose look.
Which is really weird, because the Zelda series has gone through many changes (while keeping the same core mechanics). I'd kill for a Mario game that looked like Wind Waker and had it's cast of wacky characters. Is it so hard to make a Super Paper Mario in 3d at least?

gaaahhh I want to wrench these characters away from corporate before they go fully down the Sonic path. Just let them rest for a while. Put them in hibernation, focus on other franchises, and bring them out again, fresh and new. That's how nostalgia works.

But really, I have more fun playing the old games on emulators so I'm old and out of the loop. If the kids want this mush, let em. :p Hopefully they'll be a new 'revolution' somewhere down the line, like Pokemon being forced to actually animate their 2d sprites even if it is cheesy puppetry. Baby steps! Baby steps!

I KNOWRIIIIITTTE D8

We need more mario styles.
What I really loved in 3Dland was the 2D art in the letters between worlds, Reminded me alot of the art in the old Super nintendo Manuals.

I would REALLY LOVE a Mario game with handdrawn sprites like WarioLandShake.
Would definately give the animations more "life" than the plasticy cookiecrumbling 2D

Mario games are getting rather stale and It really needs that breath of fresh air World did for the series in gameplay and flow TOO D: They're trying to hard to appeal to the people who can't let go of SMB3.

I don't wanna say this, but if the music is also shoddy and dull, the new 2D marios are dead to me.

yeah. Or at the very least, look into another way of interpreting those art styles. I bet they can make a Wind Wakerish filter to make Mario LOOK like SMB3 Mario. That I wouldn't mind.

Something more painterly is good. I'd like to see Mario done in that Strikers style, or more like a street graffiti look. Have the music played by real bands or nice synths, none of this shitty 'wah-wah fuck-fucks' music! I'm sure they have the money for it!

Christ, this is first-party property and it feels like cheap shovelware. I'm not even asking for revolutionary gameplay, just a different look. lol

Who knows, might have something up its sleeve.

I thought the wii version was pretty good, but then again I've sorta fallen out of love with video games.
