Nintendo Gaming / RE: Super Mario Galaxy
« on: October 06, 2007, 12:46:54 PM »QuoteI'd usually chalk this up to Pro's sarcasm, but considering his writing about killer7 just below was as serious as he gets, I'm not sure if I'd be right this time.
Galaxy looks like kid-dee rehash garbage that Nintendo can't grow out of. The kind of crap that kept its userbase from expanding in prior years. It'll only sell big this time around since there's a sizeable audience that already exists, and has `Mario` in the title (as previously mentioned), not because it actually reaches out to varieties of gamers and newcomers.
And if I'm not, he has some explaining to do.

Well the formula can now be improved with the remote.. hopefully it's made in-house though.
I fully expect a Star Fox, an Animal Crossing and an F-Zero game to be revealed at or before E3 next year.
And if we're lucky, Kirby and Pikmin, but probably not.

Whoa, seriously? Vicarious Visions is the best western developer on the DS, and one of the few that actually put effort into their games. This is great news!

Of course, you look at the financial statements and ratios (especially the price/earnings one) before making a decision, right?
More conservative people may want to look into index funds and ETFs.

Damn, that is amazing. Japan has always liked 2D Mario games more - Sunshine didn't do too well over there. But the preorders for Galaxy are even more than those for New Super Mario Bros and Animal Crossing: WW back in the day.
I guess the Wii and the Mario franchise are incredibly hot right now in Japan.

Well Sunshine still sold 6 million + units on the Cube of all consoles, so I'm not worried about sales for Galaxy - they'll be just fine. But I do agree that they should still set aside a huge budget for advertising.

« on: October 04, 2007, 11:07:54 AM »QuoteOh damn. Please tell me that you're not referring to Kirby: Canvas Curse here.
Maybe I just have a lower tolerance of rehashing and it will just take longer for others to question why they're playing yet another Kirby game that really doesn't do anything Kirby Superstar did better years ago and why Nintendo is offering very little else.
EDIT: Just wanted to add that couchmonkey is right on two accounts. First, Nintendo has singlehandedly shifted the industry, and next generation we'll see the full effects. And also, the way people go through games like water these days always amazes me. I still have stuff to catch up on for the GAMECUBE, let alone the DS and Wii.

I think at Christmas, maybe, although I believe Nintendo is going to continue to surprise folks all the way through next year. I think the big question is: has Nintendo already won this generation in the mind of investors? Because if it has, then they don't have much of an upside anymore. If it has not, then I think the investors will continue to be impressed by the company's performance.

Nintendo Gaming / RE: Super Mario Bros 3 vs Super Mario Galaxy *(WARNING WORDS)*
« on: October 02, 2007, 04:53:16 PM »
First, I'd like to say that I'm a certifiable Mario platformer whore, and I have probably always been more excited about Galaxy than anyone on this forum. The series is one of the few reasons I still play games today. To me, it's nearly impossible to choose between most Mario games, because they're so good. It usually comes down to nostalgia and my sentimentalism when deciding which one is "best".
Having said that, the original Super Mario Bros is my favourite game of all time. The joy that you had playing SMB3, I had with SMB. It was the first videogame I ever played, and I was mesmerised by it. No other game given me that feeling since... Mario 64 came close, though, which is why it's my second favourite Mario game.
If you put emotions aside, though, and do a technical breakdown like you did, Super Mario Bros 3 won't be denied. It's probably the closest to technical perfection that a game has ever gotten, even after nearly 20 years. Super Mario World is very impressive too, but SMB3 is just incredible.
As for Galaxy, well we'll just have to see how it stacks up, won't we? I said at E3 2006, when it was first revealed, that I haven't felt such a longing for a game since the 64 era. And now we're only a month away.
EDIT: But I'll have to say that I disagree with you completely on Sunshine, and somewhat on NSMB. Sunshine was lightyears ahead of any platformer out there.. hell, it still is. The control was perfectly tight, FLOOD is awesome, the challenge was there, and I didn't feel the setting was forced at all. Plus the water and the draw distances. I spent hours playing around in the water or getting to the peak of every level just to gaze in the distance. Sunshine is severly over-criticised by fans.
About New Super Mario Bros, it's still one of my Top 3 DS games. The game didn't focus on powerups, which is why many people were turned off, but the pure platforming was just fine. Also, the fact that it was the first 2D Mario game in 10 years made it much fresher to me.
Of course, it couldn't stand up against the S/NES Mario games though.. but then again, which games can? I read that EAD didn't develop it; it was another internal Nintendo team. That's probably why it wasn't as innovative as some would have liked. But that still doesn't take away from the fact that it's a quality game.
