Using Mario Kart is a poor comparison. Mario Kart is basically the normal entry for a Nintendo system (console or handheld), and granted will sell units because it's fricking Mario Kart. (not to mention they are quality entries, except MK: Super Circuit).

NSMBWii is the first 2-D Mario console game in almost 20 years. A typical game entry this is not. This is a big deal, and obviously, will sell A LOT of copies. (and to test the Wii Demo Play, which is completely optional so it won't destroy the game k guys hur hur)

New Mario and Galaxy 2 do one important thing together: bring Yoshi to the forefront of gaming again as a species enslaved by socialist super-men.

I just noticed that you are a newer member of the forums, Captain N. Welcome. I appreciate the opinions you are bringing to the table even if I disagree with you. Disagreement followed by discussion make us all better and sharper people.

Soon enough we'll find out how popular it will be on the Wii userbase, both with the traditional crowd and the 'casual' crowd. Either way, I'm sure Nintendo will be pushing this one like crazy during the holidays like they did with Wii Music. I think this will sell better than Music by a long shot even if it doesn't hit Mario Kart numbers.

Imagine a top 10 completely filled up with Nintendo games (not that it hasn't come close to it before), the only games that would seem to stand a chance of getting up there are Guitar Hero 5 and EA games like Tiger and Madden.

At least Mario doesn't bonk Yoshi's head to make him spit out his tongue anymore. Disrespectful Yoshi-abusing bastard he no longer isn't.

Remember that the gaming media's intelligence is incapable of handling a Mario game with minimal waggle. A music game with waggle is too much for their feeble, internet popularity to handle m'kay?

It's going to be a happy Christmas this year.

Mario never did that, it just looked like that because of the small amount of detail allowed by 16-bit graphics. It's similar to how people used to think Mario broke bricks with his head because it was difficult to spot his upraised fist.

Peachylala · « **Reply #205 on:** August 25, 2009, 01:28:45 AM »

Are you sure you played the same game?

Because I noticed that small detail, you just have to catch it at the right time. Seriously, he does that. But I might be wrong...

I'm pretty sure Nintendo wouldn't have Mario punching Yoshi. His hand is just next to Yoshi's head, but since it is 2D it looks like he's hitting Yoshi. I think in the cartoon Mario pointed his finger, or maybe that was the comics or a piece of official artwork I saw. My memory's hazy on that. But I assure you he isn't hitting him.

Peachylala · « **Reply #207 on:** August 25, 2009, 01:38:51 AM »

I can confirm (thanks to still having the SNES manual) that Mario does point in the artwork.

Still, that's what it looks like. Will never change.

DiC's Yoshi... WHAT. THE. ****. D8

Are you referring to the cartoon Yoshi? That was a little odd, having Luigi be 'Momma Luigi' to Yoshi and his awkward, high pitched voice. Though my sister loved the cartoon Yoshi.

Peachylala · « **Reply #209 on:** August 25, 2009, 10:58:44 AM »

Time has not been nice to DiC's animation as a whole. SMW's cartoon was basically Scooby-Doo with Mario characters.

NinGurl69 *huggles · « **Reply #210 on:** August 25, 2009, 12:31:33 PM »

But Scooby is so beneath SMW ever since they introduced Scrappy.

Peachylala · « **Reply #211 on:** August 25, 2009, 06:39:37 PM »

Good point.

But sometimes the animation looked worse then the Scooby cartoons.

Mop it up · « **Reply #212 on:** August 25, 2009, 07:31:45 PM »

The Mario series has no story canon, so the writers for the cartoons had to come up with a lot of that on their own. It's certainly no worse than any of the fan fiction out there.

The voice for Yoshi in the cartoon was less annoying than his videogame voice. There I said it.

I like the ones where Bower rapes Peach and the Koopa Kids are their spawn.

Yoshi's current voice is awesome because he doesn't say anything besides his name.

And Mop, Sturgeon's Law says that 10% of something that is 90% is good. There is good fan fiction, it's just hard to find.

Awesome video! I saw the boomerang from a Boomerang Brother! Are there any vids with them actually in it?

And True Blue you know nothing! In the games Yoshi has been known to say "Hoppidy Hop!"

I never said there wasn't good fan fiction. And I enjoyed the cartoon, if for no other reason than how campy it is because of the way the dialogue is delivered. Mama Luigi is probably the best episode, they're all on YouTube if anybody wants to check it out.

Stratos · « **Reply #217 on:** August 27, 2009, 03:09:44 PM »

"Excuuuuse Me, Princess!" trumps "Mama Luigi"

Well of course, nothing will ever top that.

I'm ashamed of myself because, while I find the cartoon writing horrid, the voice acting was top notch.

From which game?

I never heard Kozumi Totaka voice act THAT, ever.

Play Yoshis story and listen to him pound the ground. Clear as day to me.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qqVm8QWIb_U

Not clear as a bell, but it sounds like a baby going "Hoppidy hop!"

Peachylala · « **Reply #221 on:** August 28, 2009, 12:45:41 PM »

That's is not what I hear.

It sounds like he's saying "Boing-Ha!" when he pounds the ground. =/

Stratos · « **Reply #222 on:** August 28, 2009, 02:20:47 PM »

I sounds like "Ba-dring hap!"

Though when I first got the game, I always thought it was a butchering of "Company, halt!".

It just sounds like unintelligible gibberish to me.

Although, doesn't he say "Nintendo" at the startup of Yoshi's Story?

that Baby guy · « **Reply #224 on:** August 28, 2009, 11:32:45 PM »

Something close to it, at least. I always felt like at the end of each stage, when it's talking about the Yoshis moving on that they sang "Be careful" over and over, almost.

Still, the game is notorious in describing how actual young Yoshis (not adult Yoshis trapped in eggs...) don't walk quite the same as the adults do, with a flatter back and longer neck, but rather straight upright. Luckily for those who liked controlling characters riding Yoshis, this wasn't something that lasted :)
