This game will be the bomb! I am sure it will be best of '09! Why did I spend my $50 on TMNT Smash Up over this??! :roll:

Just pre-ordered this yesterday, while geting Wii resort. It does look like it will be awesome, and kinda nostalgic.

Pre-ordered, this is my most hyped up game right now, even more then MW2 :)

Ditto. It's about time to blow the dust off the Wii and get it going again.
I still wish that Princess Toadstool would have been the 4th character rather than a second Toad, but I guess I can't expect Nintendo to hit the nail right on the head.

Sadly, it's been awhile for me too since I've played a Wii game, but I've definitely been looking forward to this one. I really enjoyed NSMB on the DS and this looks even better.

Yeah, I own the DS one and it's awesome! This will be better though, I'm positive. ;)

New SMB was neat at its release, but it doesn't hold up well. The game is pretty basic by Mario standard and easy as it gets. By going the 3D route, they opened up nearly infinite possibilities for new ideas that largely went wasted for the sake of keeping things simple for the damn non-gamers. In fact, I'd go as far as to say there was little to nothing in New SMB that couldn't have been done one Super Nintendo easily.
With lots of outlets calling New SMB2 the hardest in the series, clearly this game is going to kick ass. They're actually using the hardware to do some cool stuff this time out. I'm excited.

I would contend that no Mario game has ever been "hard" and even calling one "tough" would be a stretch. The challenge levels in Sunshine is where difficulty in Mario games begins and ends.

I'm not going to be playing it until Christmas. I have an old tradition. If a Mario game launches in November, I save it for Christmas to try and keep alive that little kid in me who went crazy when he unwrapped Super Mario World and that brand new SNES in 1991.
Besides, it'll give me more time to finish Brutal Legend and get into Assassin's Creed 2.

I am pretty excited for this game. I agree with having Princess Toadstool (or Peach) as the fourth character though, then it would be like a happy mix of Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 2. It'll still be awesome though.
Ever since I saw Super Mario Bros. Z ep 8 on Newgrounds, I await the return of the Raccoon, Tanooki and Sledgehammer suits.

I mark out for anything Mario pretty much, I can't wait for this game.
And for whoever asked, hells yeah Mario Sunshine is worth it.
As for difficulty, I thought one or two of the mazes in Lost Levels were a bit tricky, but mostly b/c I'd always run outta time just as I figured them out, then not remember what I'd just done like two minutes earlier when I had to run the maze again. But I agree, most people probably don't play Mario games for a challenge.
I'm gonna start Galaxy soon. Any good? (like I gotta ask, just curious what you folks think)

When I first started playing galaxy I was unsure.. But I ended up LOVING IT. It ranks high for me. I think you'll dig it, theres alot of cool new mushrooms in it, very much so like SMWii
Galaxy is the sh*t and I haven't even played it yet besides the demo. Nobody I know with a Wii has it.
Bunch of dumbasses.

ThirdMarioBro
11-10-2009, 11:53 PM
Barky called it. Galaxy is way better than 64. It feels stiff and rigid in comparison to Galaxy's magic, music, and marvel. Its tied as my favorite Mario game with Super Mario World. Those are some pretty think nostalgia memories to rival, so you know its good.
Not only that, Luigi's ACTUALLY in it!
Gah, I so need to play that masterpiece.
Barkworm
11-11-2009, 09:17 AM
Better than Mario 64?
I think opinions about that were pretty mixed around here when we alll first played it. I believe it's a much greater experience overall.
I enjoyed Galaxy more simply because it felt more epic and...grander.
Also, has anyone seen the video of the final boss for this game? I saw it and it felt kinda lame.

I like Mario 64 better than Galaxy for two reasons.
1) While the music in Galaxy is "beautiful" and all that, the music in SM64 is, unquestionably, much more memorable.
2) The setting. I don't know why, but I did, and still do, dislike the fact that most of Galaxy takes place on a bunch of tiny floating platforms and spherical planes. I much prefer "worlds" or "levels" in the classic sense of the term, much like the level where you first get the bee suit in Galaxy.

I don't generally like 3D Mario games very much anyway, but I'd have to agree with Peanut on not liking Galaxy's space debris level design. I think I enjoyed Mario Sunshine more than either of those two games, though.
2D Mario games are still the best. :)

That's probably because Koji wrote all of it. He'll always be the king. He wrote three or four new tracks in Galaxy, and while nobody knows for certain which ones he wrote (retro tunes excluded), its pretty easy to guess because they're the most hummable. Why doesn't he write more?
The more I see of this game, the more soulless it looks to me. I don't know...
Really? I know New SMB1 was soulless, but this is the opposite for me. The more I see of New SMB2, the more giddy I get because it feels like it has that charm that's been missing from Mario for the second half of this decade. Koopa Kids, Kamek, Yoshi, and a bunch of long lost Super Mario World elements.
Dire, Dire, Docks. 'Nuff said.
^this

That was an awesome song, but I digz the Docks.
Seriously, whenever I select the 8 Red Coins mission in that level, I literally spend minutes just swinging around on the poles instead of just collecting the coins, while humming that theme. Even Mario himself looks like he's having a blast.

I concur, though the experience of SMG was still satisfying, it felt a little off. I don't correlate Mario with the disorienting feeling synonymous with wacky gravity effects, either.

Agreed, though I must admit I haven't been following the game much. I know "soulless" is a bit of a cop-out but I really have no interest in this game at all.

I saw the quicklook on Giant Bomb, and I;m getting increasingly more excited about this game.
The multiplayer looks ridiculous with 4 people...But they really should have included some form of online.

Just got this and have been playing with my sister. It's certainly a lot harder cuz we keep bumping into each other and she's a total n00b, but it's that much more fun, too.
I'll prolly worry about getting the star coins on my own, cuz we've been missing a few in world 2 so far.

Got mine today, matter of fact I was the first person to get it from my store. It is AWSOME. I love it. They dont go too far with the interactivity, (when i say that i mean lame ass shaking of the controller type things) they use just enough to make it work. There are more mushrooms available to you so if you suck, it'll be hard to stay small for too long. The same applies in levels with yoshi, if he runs off the next coin block you find will be another yoshi, this time in another color. The gameplay is challenging at times but not tooth-grindingly hard at all.. If your an obsessed fan like myself, you may find yourself playing the game until you beat it. Its deffinately worth the 50 bucks unlike smash up!

I picked it up this morning...it was quite the ordeal. After getting burned by the wal mart near me more than once, I decided to call to see if it was in stock, and the ****ing electronics guy asked if I meant I wanted it on 360... He didnt have any for the wii, but he was "sure its supposed to not be out til tuesday."
So I hopped on the highway and drove half an hour to find a copy. Got one of the last 2 in the store.
I totally dig it. It gets frustrating at some spots, but is so fun that I find myself still being kind of happy about being stressed.
I went through the entire first world and got all the Star coins, and its getting all the star coins on the second world thats getting me. And that is awesome.

I don't have a Wii at my place but I played through the first three worlds with my brother this weekend. There are still things about it that bother me somehow (like the bossfights) but it's certainly a lot of fun and much, much more enjoyable than the DS one.
