Nintendo seems to have decided that the average-at-best Mario Sunshine models are to be the standard Mario models that appear in every Cube game. I guess the SSBM model looked too good and it might encourage sales or something. I think reusing models is great because it cuts down dev time and maintains a consistent look across all the games. I just wish they didn't pick one that looked so asstastic.

LMAO =D.
I really think that the SSBM models should be used for all of the Mario-related games

Those were FMV shots...
I couldn't care less about the character design at this point(considering I dislike more realism...it's MARIO, for pete's sake)...I just wish to play all the minigames that will be present...

Why does Nintendo even bother to make FMV for Mario games? The FMV in Mario Sunshine looked WORSE than the real graphics somehow. The whole point of using FMV is to create a cutscene that has more detail than the in-game graphics.

Personally I think Super Mario RPG is the best graphic representation of Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom yet. That was exactly what I thought the Mario franchise would look like in 3D. Well technically it's pre-rendered but it looks 3D.

What is so bad about the models? I don't know about you, but I never was zoomed in enough in Mario Sunshine to think of Mario as anything but the pudgy, cartoony character he is. Unless we're seeing close-ups of faces (in cut-scenes and such) I don't see any reason to change the models. What Nintendo really needs to focus on is textures. Some of the textures - particularly in SMS.

QuoteYour kidding right, you only have to look at Yoshi to see that that game looked a joke, Mario was wide too. Landscape wise it's probably the best though. Mario Sunshine did do plenty of cool effects though, especially the water, and the boss battle looked stunning but yeah, good graphics really do help sales and Nintendo just don't seem to try.

Mario Tennis should be terrific, and hopefully better than Top Spin on Xbox, which is really good.
