I'm liking the newer art style. Different enough from what we've had from all the NSMB games

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think it looks very beautiful!

and Daisy is also there, i guess.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, she is a playable character.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't think I'll ever get tired of these games to be honest.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Same. My wife isn't much of a gamer but NSMB Wii and NSMBU are some of the only games we'll play together and really enjoy. I think I'd actually pay for subscription DLC for a NSMB-style game if it gave you a few new levels to play through every month or two.

I hoped Mario Maker 2's user-generated content would feel like that, but the levels were so small and puzzle-focused that it really didn't work.

This game is so new. like newer than new. Newer Super Mario Bros

[–] Srootus 2 points 1 year ago

Goated ROM hack, playing through the DS one currently

I love how well designed the characters look. After so many Mario games using similar models, it's great to see fun animations and creative liberties for these characters. Gameplay looks awesome and super fun as well. New Super Mario Bros was a blast and here's hoping this one is too. Day 1 buy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Loved the scene where Mario enters the pipe but loses his hat and quickly grabs it. The flowers seem pretty funny and entertaining too. Definitely feels like there is a lot more love and attention invested in this one!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

The game has a lot of the modern Rayman 2D games' energy. The flowers commenting on what is happening, the musical elements, the generally trippiness.
This looks great.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Finally, a new Art-Style. It's awesome how animated the Characters are. Mario looking outside the Pipe, holding his hat etc.

Wasn’t expecting to be impressed by a 2D Mario game after New Super Mario Bros. 2 and U. Really excited for this game.

As someone who enjoyed the "New Super Mario Bros." games, this looks absolutely fantastic. 2D Mario has always been my favorite, so I'm super pumped to see something new that's not "New". Even though I enjoyed the "New" I think it's time to move away from "New" to new. Ya know?

This plus rpg they really hitting that nostalgia market hard this time.
This looks trippy. The talking flowers really made me smile I don’t know why. Yoshi running in the air to get a further jump really reminded me of Yoshi’s island so I’ll give this one a try.

I guess all those mushrooms Mario ate over the years finally caught up to him.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Super Mario Bros. Wonder how high these guys got making this game, amirite?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I guess the mushrooms are finally kicking in

[–] Whooping_Seal 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The graphics in this look very intriguing. I'm not sure it'll be my favourite 2d mario game but I am sure I will enjoy it thoroughly! I'm happy Nintendo didn't abandon the format, I was somewhat worried they were going to only make 3d Mario games going forward.

[–] Srootus 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They changed how Yoshi sounds, I say we riot

[–] Whooping_Seal 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I did not notice this, truly devastating news. I don't know how I shall even be able to sleep at night!

[–] Srootus 2 points 1 year ago

I was 60% sure the Mario Maker series meant there was never going to be another real sidescroller. Glad to be wrong!

It looks like Mario Maker means Nintendo can't release a standard 2d Mario any longer. They had to go back to the drawing board and amp up the custom gimmicks of each level.

The trailer blew me away with style and creativity. This will most likely be a day one purchase for my house.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Wow, really gorgeous game! Glad they're doing something a bit different this time!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So, is anyone gonna mention the elephant in the room?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Finally, no more "New Soup"

Super Mario Bros: in Linking the Sapient Dream

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Srootus 2 points 1 year ago

I'm guessing £49.99-£59.99

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like Mario combined with Rayman Legends.

Nintendo should hire me

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. 2D games made with 3D models. I don’t here them referred to like that much anymore though.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If you move in 2D it's a 2D game. 2.5D is fine if you really want, but there's no actual functional difference between having 3D models vs pixel art. The gameplay is what defines the game.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You are right that there is no functional difference but 2.5D is an accepted term to define games made to look like 3D or uses 3D models while restricting movement to the 2D plane. It’s not just fine if you really want, it’s a real established descriptor.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2.5D

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I know it's a real term. But it doesn't supersede 2D. 2D is every bit as correct. It's a 2D game.

[–] Srootus 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Huh. I've replied to a bunch of you guys's comments and loads of them doesn't seem to have posted or at least are invisible to me, to anyone else seeing this. Is there a comment from me under the the guy talking about the game being 2.5D?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Hm. That's strange. I don't see your comment. Or mine. Weird...

Playable Daisy temporarily cured my depression so glad that Daisy is playable in a mainline game (the drugs probably helped) and i think Yoshi is as well cause at 2:00 all 4 are Yoshis and I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re the easy character like Toadette or Nabbit with a flutter that they normally have 1:46.

It seems you have to take LSD to get the collectables so do drugs kids?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Hopefully when you play as Yoshi, you get to ride Mario.

[–] Srootus 1 points 1 year ago

Sound message Nintendo

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Holy cow that's trippy. The game could be really fun as a result of that style though. It isn't exactly like Mario wasn't weird to begin with.

[–] Srootus 2 points 1 year ago

I'm all for trippy Mario games, breaks the boredm of today's realism games.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Looks fun, excited

I'm surprised people care more about Mario RPG with different graphics than this new Mario game. 2D Mario has disappointed us in the past, but this takes leaps and risks Nintendo wasn't willing to take before. The game actually looks really good, and it's flaws are found in many other Nintendo games (People are finding the talking flower irritating, despite so many Nintendo titles having irritating side characters). From what I've seen from this game, it takes dangerous risks, has a nice art style, and actually has difficulty to it.

This one may feel... weird. But I strongly encourage everyone to give this one a chance, even if it somehow turns out being not great, buying this encourages Nintendo to take more creative risks.

(yes I will admit, this game does seem to look like you're on drugs.)
