lol. Good commercial Nick. The music fit right in!
It's too bad Miyamoto had his way with SMG 2 and got rid of the story. I don't know why he seems to have this view that you can have a good game or a good story, but not both. Best to have done it the way it was done in SMG, where if story and cut scenes set your heart to skipping a beat with rage, you can easily ignore it, while fans who want a story, can still enjoy it.
SMG really shines in Dolphin and shows how much Wii games were held back by the technology. It also shows how talented Nintendo's artists are, that their art can usually hold up at high resolutions they weren't originally inetended for.
SMG is a strange Mario game in that, I won't say it's forgotten because that would be untrue, but it doesn't seem to be talked about as much as other seminal Mario games such as Super Mario 64, Super Mario World,and Super Mario Bros. 3. Does anyone else think that is so, and if so, why do you think that is the case?
I remember before SMG was revealed, I wondered where Nintendo could take Mario next. The character was 25 years old at the time and I wondered if Nintendo would run out of new ideas for Mario games at some point. Mario is really the only videogame character to have lasted long enough and been in enough relevant games to have that be a concern. They've tried to shoehorn Pac-Man in various games to only occasional success. Donkey Kong is the only other contender, but he hasn't been the star of, and in as big a variety of, games as Mario has.
The revelation of SMG put all those doubts to rest and now 10 years later, we have Odyssey which looks to raise the creative bar yet again.
