Anyway, its a platformer in which Peach uses her umbrella to fend off enemies.....
Blah, the current princess peach is like the most annoying nintendo character ever. Maybe they could do something special and make this game a lot of fun but I kind of doubt it.
Post by: couchmonkey on October 28, 2004, 08:05:41 AM
Anyway, the concept sounds pretty interesting, how would you fit in the DS features? What if you have to blow into the mic to create wind to keep her umbrella aloft?
Post by: Pale on October 28, 2004, 08:27:53 AM
As for DS features....the only thing i could think of is analogue control for floating..that would be pretty cool.

Anyway, I like Peach's recent hairdo more. Sporty.
BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT DAISY IS BETTER. My best character in SSBM is Daisy (Peach + Daisy color scheme). The best, most versatile character in Mario Tennis 64 was Daisy. Daisy has the best driver-switch quote in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. Daisy has a higher IQ than Peach. Daisy Cruiser was a better stage than Peach "oh i robbed the delfinos of their land cuz I'm a stupid despot" Beach. Daisy looks like the "original" Princess Toadstool from the Super Mario Super Show Cartoon (darker hair is teh better). Daisy bends over lower in Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour while Peach has that pointlessly mini miniskort that physically binds her spine Daisy gold is better than Peach pink.

Ruby: That game on the bottom right, "Another", what's that, a dating sim?
Post by: ruby_onix on October 28, 2004, 09:40:55 PM
The only Japanese I know is that yeah, it looks like it's title is "a na za-", or "Another". And that it's apparently for the DS.
The game images look more like an old-school text adventure than a dating sim to me, and the art style looks like the style of Atlus's Shin Megami Tensei (aka: "Persona") series to me.

NEW Super Mario Bros. utilizes Mario64-style 3D models in side-scrolling formats. This Peach thingy is, i don't know. NEW SMB doesn't have parasols.

"Another" is Ubi Soft's dating-adventure-pictorama for DS. Not sure if it's hardcore-dating-pictorama, or simply dating, at all.
No, actually, you're thinking of Sprung.
Another is a Nintendo-developed adventure with text and stuff, part of a series that never made it out of Japan. In fact I think there's a few SSBM trophies about it.
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on October 28, 2004, 11:51:16 PM

Now we just need a new Wario game and we will have an awesome set of DS platform games.
New Super Mario DS
Super Princess Peach
Yoshi Touch N Go
I would also love a platform game where Luigi can go solo throughout the game.
Nintendo is really impressing me by fleshing out all there characters into more center stage players instead of just sidekicks.
Post by: Ian Sane on October 29, 2004, 07:41:21 AM
That would be like the stupidest thing to do ever. Hey we've got this new side scrolling Mario game that people have waited nearly ten years for. Let's replace it with a f*cking Peach game. I mean I have nothing against Peach but that would just be pissing away American sales.
I don't mind Peach's voice at all. In fact I think it's kind of cute. It's Mario's voice I can't stand. Nintendo became "kiddy" the second "It's a-me Mario!" came out of the N64.
Post by: Bill Aurion on October 29, 2004, 07:49:52 AM

Post by: Ian Sane on October 29, 2004, 07:57:35 AM
Personally I don't think he should talk at all. I much prefer him as a silent hero like Link or Samus. I don't know exactly what I would like Mario to talk like but the first time I heard his voice it was the exact opposite of what I was expecting. It's just a very childish voice like one would hear on Sesame Street or something. At the time I had never associated Mario or Nintendo with being childish. Before 1996 Mario was just a cartoony looking character in my mind like most game characters.
Post by: Bill Aurion on October 29, 2004, 08:01:09 AM
A random "Let's a-go" and "Wahoo" isn't exactly something to write home about...(I think his voice fits his character quite well, so I have no idea what kind of voice you were expecting...)

Before 1996, Super Mario Bros. Super Show Mario was voiced by retired pro-wrestler Capt. Lou Albano (sp?). That's what I expected him to sound like. Then Charles Martinet came in 1996, and it's like, ok, that's different, OH WELL, I DON'T CARE ANYMORE.
Same applies for Luigi.

You know now that I've had some time to really look at those shots this game looks like it could be really cool. It's a 2D sidescroller. As cool as the New Super Mario Bros may turn out to be it uses polygons which to me don't look as good and as a result I was a little disappointed when I first saw it. But this is all sprites which I love.
Big ditto on that one. I'm dying for the new Mario Bros. game, but I really wish it were more spritey, hehe.
Post by: MattVDB on October 30, 2004, 04:40:20 PM
Get this, with Peach now being capable of actually completing a goal (anybody know the plot to this game yet?) she won't simply be the "poor defenseless princess in distress." That has the opportunity to run very dry.
I don't know if they will actually use this to develop plots of other games in the series, but it does allow them to now if they so choose. This is good news. Besides, how can you not like a new/different mario platformer? How many of you knew how Mario World 2 was going to turn out before you played it? When given the opportunity, they can surprise us. I'm stoked.

Activision Anthology for GBA has a horrid presentation. But I like it because of the games. The games are fun. The presentation of The Matrix was great, but in most people's opinions the gameplay sucked. Many copies that were sold got traded back in to gameshops. Gameplay has a higher influence on a game than presentation does. We know hardly anything on the game as it is, so you can't say anything about the gameplay other than what we know: uses umbrella for attack, a platformer, and that she is trying to rescue Mario.

I play the Atari games because they are fun. There is close to nil presentation value in it. Presentation has no bearing on how a gameplays, and after you start a game, are in the middle of it playing, presentation holds nothing. What keeps you going back to a game is what goes on while playing, the gameplay.

I think Super Mario 64 DS is there to show how you can take your average game, say.... Super Mario 64 and do new things with it on the DS. Even if 3rd parties do get all port happy on the DS, because of how the DS work it would probably have SOMETHING new in it.

Back on topic, Its about friggin' time. Almost 20 years of saving the princess, and still gets in trouble one way for another. Time for her to do some work for a change!
It'd be interesting if Daisy was a co-star to balance it out a la Mario-Luigi. I just hope it doesn't become too 'girly', just so they can soley attract a female audience. I can already imagine the snickers from the game clerks if you ask for this by name.

Sadness (blue) - Peach cries! Attack the enemy with your overflowing stream of tears!
Anger (red) - with the power of anger turn yourself into flame. roast the surrounding enemies in no time
Fun (green) - feeling pretty good with fun. replenish HP"

Now in SMRPG and the Paper Mario games it's totally different story. She's not helpless and scatter-brained at all; but don't get me wrong, I love Princess Toadstool in every shape and form.
Post by: Hostile Creation on September 11, 2005, 12:37:18 PM
As for the emotions, that's an awesome idea. I wonder if there are only those four, or if they'll have more than that. I'm willing to bet just those four, since they're pretty broad, but who knows? Either way, this emotion idea provides lots of possibilities.
Princess Peach does seem rather confused and uncertain sometimes, but on the whole she seems to know what's going on. I mean, she runs an entire kingdom for one thing. She strikes me as being very innocent, and that can come across as ditzy.

Me too. It just doesn't look right with polygons. It seems too market driven like they're compromising the style of the game to encourage sales. Super Princess Peach looks great though. If those two titles get good reviews I'm going to have to buy a DS.
I love the mood swings idea. Only a Japanese developer would have the balls to do something so politically incorrect. It's a cool idea for a gameplay element.

Post by: Hostile Creation on September 12, 2005, 10:07:53 AM
I like the use of polygons in the new Super Mario Brothers game. Why? Diversity of style. Games like Mario and Luigi 2 and Super Princess Peach have a great sprite art style, so I'm willing to see how the polygons on a 2D lay-out work as well. If I didn't have other games with that distinctive 2D sprite style I'd be less lenient, but I like that there's more than one thing out there.

Post by: Artimus on September 12, 2005, 04:30:58 PM
How cool would it be to have a Toad eat a poison mushroom and then become a level-boss? One example is that goombas can get the mushrooms and grow. I love that idea! That's fantastic. And things like a retro level with the old graphics (remember Mario RPG had a section where you were 8-bit!). Most Nintendo fans are pretty hardcore, so we'd catch obscure references. I'd love to see like a world with Goombas (or some other enemy) pulling turnips out of the ground and throwing them! Stuff like that, not a big story

Gamespot are a bunch of idiots anyhow, but it's pretty amazing that all those games where Peach was the generic damsel in distress were fine, but now that she's actually kicking ass, she's not kicking ass in the officially sanctioned way.
What was Nintendo supposed to do, make Peach an Angelina Jolie ripoff like every American action game character? She's a princess and she rules over a kingdom full of mushrooms, she's going to be at least a little girlish.

QuoteThat's just about the highest bar you can set for the game.. If you look at it on its own merit, the game is still brilliant. The pure platforming is exceptional, and much better than SPPs.

I think New Super Mario Bros. failure to do new and cool things with powerups is because the game was intended to be like the original - the new powerups including the shell are all basically extensions of original Super Mario Bros. concepts rather than truly new ideas like flying, riding Yoshi, etc. This makes it inferior in some people's eyes, and I understand that but I think it made the game easier for anyone to pick up and play, not just old-school hardcore Mario fans, and the level designs made up for it in my eyes.
Overall I liked the game better than Super Princess Peach because Super Princess Peach's vast array of gigantor levels got on my nerves. In 2D I prefer quick, linear levels with lots of action whereas Peach was making me explore. I also felt Peach's levels all started to feel the same after about 2/3 of the game was up, while New Super Mario Bros. kept delivering new kinds of levels right to the end. Peach's level structure quickly started to feel static: explore, collect, explore, auto-scroll, explore, collect, explore, auto-scroll, explore, collect, explore, etc. Mario was free to be something different in each level.
Super Princess Peach was a deeper game, for sure. I just didn't think it was as much fun.

I don't think I imagined it. I probably couldn't have grabbed all the medals on a particular underwater stage without the speed boost it gave me.

Anyway, I just recently picked this up, and I think it's a much better game than New Super Mario Bros. It is quite sexist though. I like to kid my fiance about it...
"See they made a game where Peach saves Mario instead! Isn't that great? Girl power! Oh, by the way, her special ability is that she's MOODY! Get it? Because that's what girls are!"
Haha, oh man. But seriously, if any of you haven't played this game. Go pick it up.
I probably had the wrong idea all along, but I was under the impression that all Planet GameCube staff were major Nintendo fans who would play any Nintendo-developed game shortly after it came out.
That said, I'm actually disappointed that Pale only recently discovered this game.

On the note of NSMB, I loved the whole feel of the game. It was well crafted and fun. It was a very easy game but I had a blast with it. As far as I'm concerned it has that same pick up and play feel of all the Mario games ever made. I will agree that SMW was waaaaaay better but to top that game would be damn near impossible.

Personally, I buy the spin of the American ads for this game. Yes, Nintendo is playing with the stereotype of girls being emotional. But they are portraying this as a strength and not a weakness. Peach's emotions empower her to overcome obstacles and rescue mario, they don't reduce her to a helpless damsel.
I would think the only people who rebel against identifying women as having feelings are people who believe they should be as stoic and repressed as men.
