Microsoft > Nintendo > Sony

Unless I pull the AC2 trailer out from Sony, then the gap between Nintendo and Sony lessens.

Edit: They showed the absolute worst part of NSMB Wii at the press conference. Go watch the trailer I linked in the first post, it shows single-player, including new suits, and the return of Yoshi! Yoshi disappears from the Mario games for years, shows up for a bit in Sunshine, then disappears again, only to come back in two brand new games the way he was meant to be played.

That officially changes my stance on the press-conferences.

*Duke* · 06-02-2009, 04:02 PM

I am excited about the return of Yoshi to a Mario game but I don't really like the helicopter suit. Why not give us a tail or cape if Mario needs to fly? I did kind of like the penguin suit though. Ice balls would be a nice contrast to the normal fire balls. I'd love to see the return of some classic powerups though like a Kuribo Shoe or Hammer Brothers suit.

Peanut · 06-02-2009, 04:08 PM

I said the exact same thing about the propeller suit. Make it the leaf or feather if you want to fly.

*raphael_is_cool* · 06-02-2009, 05:37 PM

Just thought I'd say, that Old Republic trailer was EPIC!

*Raven* · 06-02-2009, 07:05 PM

Yea, Old Republic is looking really good.

Of course Im excited for the MGS titles, Peace Walker sounds kind of weird, I wish that was the ps3 and 360 game instead of rising.

Koopa Kids are back! I just played all 10 demo levels at the Nintendo booth and Morton Koopa Jr. was at the end of the castle! Fu*king win!

Almost came in my pants. Suck it Bowser Jr.!

Peanut · 06-02-2009, 09:03 PM

AMAZING! Thanks for that news, man. So looking forward to NSMB Wii now. I hope it gets a f*cking name change before it comes out. New Super Mario World would have been better.

BTW, how does the game look? Is it really sharp?

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-02-2009, 09:27 PM

It's amazing looking. Videos don't do it justice. Smooth as silk and full of life. I'm not convinced the "Toads" in multiplayer are final characters. They look like placeholders for something else. In fact, the whole setup looked temporary.

Old Yoshi sound effects from SMW/Yoshi's Island are FINALLY included as well. Yoshi Flutter jump enabled.

Peanut · 06-02-2009, 09:32 PM

Placeholder music, or do they have some good stuff in there? I saw a castle stage with the NSMB theme playing in it, so I'm guessing that's all they've got in there for the E3 demo.

I'm hoping the toads are placeholder, too. At least one of them could be replaced by Peach.

Edit: Shiggy just showed artwork for a new Wii Zelda during his Q&A session. Hopefully someone snapped a picture of it on the sly.

*Brodie* · 06-02-2009, 09:43 PM

This is all very exciting. I missed Mario.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-02-2009, 10:04 PM

The music was definitely placeholder, but it sounded very Super Mario World like. It even had some SMW instruments/samples mixed in there. More news on Zelda later. Got to go eat.

*Cure* · 06-02-2009, 10:10 PM

I'm kinda disappointed it's adult Link again in the new Zelda.

I was hoping for this. There are obviously more deserving characters than two Toads. One, maybe. But two: NO.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-03-2009, 12:42 AM

Throw out the yellow Toad and give me Peach. The Zelda concept art looked fu*king amazing. 2009 is going to be a hell'va year.

Archon_Turtle · 06-03-2009, 02:27 AM

Day one was kind of my overview day, so I could see what I wanted to play tomorrow. Really all I stopped to play was Batman, and, though skeptical at first, I really like it. Anyway, the pictures and video I DID take will be uploading the this folder (the pictures are up, I'm gonna let the video upload while i sleep, but it should pop in there as it loads).

In the mean time, I thought you guys would get a kick out of this picture. Me and my buddy andrew were roaming around and bumped into Kaz, so we got a quick picture. He was really gracious and thanked me for the work I did on LBP (We worked on a pirates content pack).

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-03-2009, 02:38 AM

We gotta' meet up tomorrow. I'll be at:

Konami from 10:00 - 11:00
D3 from 11:00-12:00
Nintendo: 12:00-2:15
Namco from 2:30-3:30
Natsume: 4:30-5:00

I basically look exactly like my profile pic.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-03-2009, 03:25 AM

Heh, I wish. I'd sure as hell get laid a lot more often.

*Duke* · 06-03-2009, 07:34 AM

The fact the Koopa kids are back is fantastic and I totally agree the name needs to be changed. It's such a stupid title. Also if they replace one toad with Peach I'd be happy. That would give it a nice SMB2 feel if only in playable characters.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 06-03-2009, 05:38 PM

Got back and played more SMB while ago. Yoshi is in one of the demo levels. I was eating berries, slurping up the other players and spitting them into hammer bros. Larry Koopa was at the end of the other castle stage. Dead to Rights is a fu*king gore fest. Love it. Dark Void is probably one of the most underrated titles at the show. It was a mess last year, but now its shaping up nice. Turtles in Time isn't here, but MvC2 was and its totally intact. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom looks a hell'va a lot better in person than crappy Youtube vids.
