I doubt there's many of you here who own a Wii U and also never played the game before on the Wii, but for you five people this is now an option.

Kinda wish it had basic upscaling.
480p looks disgusting on a 52 inch 1080p tv
>>321227459
What's the controller situation? Waggle required?
>>321228065
You mIght want to look up the gameplay of the game and think about what you said there champ.
>>321228065
>does this game that's built around waggling and pointing at the screen require a controller you can waggle and point at the screen
>>321228182
Or you could have just answered the fucking question champ
You're probably better off emulating it.
It'll look a lot better and you won't have to deal with wagglan

Fucking finally. North America needs to step it up.

>Japan is getting Mario Advance 4 with the e-reader levels included
>US is getting a game I already bought eight years ago
Thanks Nintendo.
Waggle to spin jump was the most annoying shit. Nothing worse than Wii games which mapped an ordinary input to waggle so they could pretend the controller wasn't completely worthless.
Whole reason I didn't buy Donkey Kong Country Returns.
>>321228309
I only remember that pointing at the screen was for was shooting the star bits which was utterly useless. Feeding the npcs might as well be done by pressing a button, same with the tornado attack to activate the shooting stars.
I remember playing donkey kong on dolphin and mapping "waggle" to a button. Infinitely enhanced my enjoyment of that game.
>>321227459
Sunshine?
>>321229229
Isn't there an entire power up dedicated to pointing and clicking to grab stars
>>321227665
Anything looks disgusting on a 52 inch 1080p tv
>>321228919
Calm your fedoras champ
>>321229359
I don't think so but now i remembered those star grab parts. I guess you needed the wiimote for that. Could be done with the stylus though.
>>321229516
Still seems like a shitty workaround
>>321229442
Not really
>>321227459
>The best Mario platformer is on the e-Shop tomorrow
But Mario 3 and Galaxy 2 are both already on the eShop.
>>321229468
Holy hell you actually replied. You know you're anonymous, right? You DO realise there's no consequences right

You spelled world wrong.

Now you're just hating on shit for retarded illogical reasons anon.
>>321229718
Please calm down anon, don't you know 4chan is famous for being kind and friendly to everybody?
>>321229154
Source? This would be worth getting (though the lack of some Japan-only levels and features is very likely).

The best Mario platformer came out on the eShop in April of last year.
>>321229843
are you baiting? a 52 inch 1080p looks horrible, because of the low pixel density.
Why did they put the second game first?
who cares? SMG emulates like a fucking champ and looks drop-dead gorgeous.
>>321230502
>sma4 gets e-reader courses
>meanwhile they couldn't bother to patch in the 4 best characters for Mario Golf 64 and a playable Luigi and half the courses for Advance Tour
Why
>The best Mario platformer
64 is better and it's no contest.
I think Sunshine is better too but I can almost understand people not liking FLUDD.
>>321227459
And it still requires the Wii mote. This was a deal breaker for metroid prime trilogy.
Noone wants to fucking use a fucking wii mote
>>321229154
Advance 4 is worse than SMW and the e-reader levels don't make up for that.
>>321231597
Sunshine can't be better because it's got the least amount of levels between them all
>>321231597
Yo Sunshine rocks and FLUDD is cool (as a mechanic, it's trash as a character/guide) but 64 and the galaxies are clearly better games.
>>321232173
Galaxy has better graphics and a better soundtrack but that's it.
>>321232064
>personally i prefer quantity over quality family
>>321231880
Wii remote is better for the prime trilogy.
>>321227459
>The best Mario platformer is on the e-Shop tomorrow.
Pretty sure 3d World was already on the eshop at launch.
>>321232250
I liked the levels and controls more in galaxy. Longjump and somersault are important, and I didn't like how slide replaced punches and kicks unless I was moving in a straight line.
Also sunshine has better visuals, but galaxy has better level design imo. Don't get me wrong Sunshine is an important game and a lot of what it introduced needs to return, and I'm not talking about characters or settings.
>>321232573
>Longjump and somersault are important
You don't need longjump or somersault in Sunshine, but the game will play more slowly if you don't use them. FLUDD is OP but he's not that OP. Those moves still have importance if you want to keep your momentum.
Speaking of momentum, Galaxy removed belly diving which is a real crime. It robs all sense of momentum from the stages.
The planet hopping robs momentum too. You stop, jump, flick into the star, and sit for a second watching the the mario-flying animation. I was bored to death playing the Galaxy games.
>>321229648
>Mario 3
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That outdated piece of shit wouldn't even be the best Mario on the Gameboy
That's not Mario Galaxy 2 tho
>>321232845
>Muh momentum
Go back to shitty Sonic games
>>321233021
I hate Sonic and like Mario though.
>>321232267
Sunshine has neither
>>321233083
Then appreciate good gameplay ideas and level design instead of this "gotta go fast" shit
>gamecube babbies got old enough to post on 4chan and now /v/ is full of sunshinefags
>>321231323
The same goes for Mario Tennis 64 and GBC. It's sad since it wouldn't be that hard to do and would make each game a more worthwhile purchase.
>>321233268
go back to speedrun SM64 granma
>>321233253
>Then appreciate good gameplay ideas and level design
That's why I like 64 and Sunshine.
>>321233268
We only have to wait a few more years for the kids fortunate enough to grow up on Galaxy to start coming.
>>321233275
>>321231323
Don't forget they also adapted Sonic and Knuckles to work with the other Genesis games
>>321227459
Real talk. Why are there no GC games on VC?
I would understand if they were to remake those games but as is it dosent make any sense at all.
>>321232845
longjump was a hell of a lot more conducive to momentum than using fludd to jetpack over gaps. Somersault was more conducive to momentum than stopping to time a sideflip onto tall places.
Again fludd was cool but Mario should have had all of his moves + fludd, I don't like how he feels just a little gimped to accommodate it.
Agreed on removing belly diving.
>>321233724
Pressure sensitive triggers
>>321232979
I really want to play Galaxy 2. I got bored half way through galaxy 1 and sold my Wii, but want to play with yoshi. If only they'd patch in normal controllers
>>321232280
i'd personally prefer not to have to fucking swing that thing around, and pay 50$ to get one in the first place.
i played a bit of Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii and the wii mote controls were so shitty and gimmicky and bad, that i just wished i could play with a normal gamepad instead.
>>321232845
Long jump >>> belly dive
FLUDD kills all momentum in Sunshine anyways, which is why all of the good levels took it away from you.
>>321232979
Because it's already on the eshop.
Galaxy 1 had better atmosphere, but 2 was just better gameplay wise.
>>321233419
Yeah, because the greatest idea Mario, a series known for creativity and variety, ever had was to build a game about running around the beach for community service
>>321229718
Look here bucko. I've been watching this little exchange between you two little sissies and I'm sick of it, I tell ya. I'm not gonna tell you to stop but be warned, if you keep this up, I can't be held responsible for the consequences, and mark my words bubba, they will be severe. I can fucking end your 4chan career here and now if I want to, but guess what: I don't. So I'm giving you one last chance to turn back and leave this conversation where it is; I'd take it if I were you, buddy.
>>321229442
>>321230848
>What is DSR
Didn't think of that, did you
>>321233963
The Prime games are better with the Wii remote. You can strafe and actually look around while walking. The Prime Trilogy is $20 on the eshop, I got it the first week for $10.
>>321234063
>Long jump >>> belly dive
not even close
>FLUDD kills all momentum in Sunshine anyways
kind of. depends on the stages. sometimes it allows you to clear gaps that you wouldn't be able to regardless.
but this is why i didn't state as fact sunshine is better than galaxy. 64 is no contest though.
>>321232551
>3d World
>The one who flopped hard on sales
Kek
>>321233419
But 64 and Sunshine have generally shit level design and Sunshine has shit gameplay, too.
>>321234304
64 feels too small now
>>321234304
>not even close
It's true, though, because long jump is more useful for actually crossing gaps than belly dive because it moves in an arc instead of being a sharp, downwards dive.
>sometimes it allows you to clear gaps that you wouldn't be able to regardless.
Yes, and it kills all of your momentum when you use it, which is why it is a garbage mechanic that acts more like a crutch than anything.
And the Galaxy games at least have the level design to allow players to put their mechanics to good use, unlike 90% of 64 or Sunshine.
>>321234498
galaxy stages don't feel large to me at all. i mean visually they're quite open, but they're more constricted in terms of where you can go than 64 stages.
>>321227459
>$20
Nah, I'm good.
But you can just emulate it.
>>321232064
Sunshine is better because it's the only 3D Mario that lets you properly control the camera.
>>321234673
>because long jump is more useful for actually crossing gaps
it's slower than belly flop though and it's a shame there are gaps so large that you're forced to use long jump, robbing you of momentum. just kidding. this is what people think of fludd.
>Yes, and it kills all of your momentum when you use it
yea, more often than not. though it's often useful in situations even where it's not needed, if the alternative is jumping down from a structure in order to climb another one.
>And the Galaxy games at least have the level design to allow players to put their mechanics to good use
i don't care if the levels suit the mechanics. the levels are still boring. i don't enjoy the slingshotting which is prominent in a large number of stages (at least sunshine allows me to retain control by using fludd).
>>321235005
The levels may be shit, but at least you've got a good view
>>321234701
When you get to the Throwback Galaxy in SMG2 it really sinks in how dull the level feels in comparison to the others
>>321227459
I bought SMG2 for 10 when the Wii u launched Wii games, why should i pay 20 for the first game?
>>321235005
Most Galaxy stages are linear enough that you don't need to move the camera around. And while you have full camera control in Sunshine, there are still areas where it's shit, like some areas of the hotel.
>>321235175
>the levels are still boring.
This is what I think of most 64 and Sunshine levels where you just walk around doing minimal or very basic platforming. If there were more levels like the Bowser stages in 64 or the 'secret' stages of Sunshine I might actually consider them worth comparing to Galaxy.
>i don't enjoy the slingshotting which is prominent in a large number of stages
The slingshots are more or less only used to transition Mario to the next set of obstacles. I wouldn't really call them a mechanic, they just make the transition between planetoids possible.
>>321227459
SMG1 has better settings and music
SMG2 has better level design
SMG3 with 1's settings and 2's level design when?
>>321235409
Galaxy 1 is generally less good than 2 because it has less focused platforming and not as good level design, but it's still good fun and tends to stick to the space theme more often.
>>321235406
it sinks in how dull SMG2 feels because you have no momentum in it compared to the 64 version.
>>321235623
>This is what I think of most 64 and Sunshine levels where you just walk around doing minimal or very basic platforming
i can't think of any platforming in galaxy1&2 that is more enjoyable though. you have stuff like reverse gravity but it never challenges me. it's never fun. it's just something different.
>The slingshots are more or less only used to transition Mario to the next set of obstacles
sure. sucks that it's there.
Lemme guess, it'll be some shit like 40 dollars right?
Fuck that if so. Worthless.
>>321236115
I don't know, there's plenty of awesome stages, especially in 2, and while the games aren't particularly challenging for the most part they're definitely leagues ahead of 64 and Sunshine.
>>321236263
Pretty sure all Wii game rereleases have been $20, though I could be wrong.
>>321236360
>and while the games aren't particularly challenging for the most part they're definitely leagues ahead of 64 and Sunshine.
we'll have to agree to disagree
>map spinning to zr or something else
>make shooting star bits be done with the touch screen
Why can't they do this? I like to settle in bed with just the gamepad.
>>321236420
I respect your opinion, but I just don't see how people continue to believe that 64 or Sunshine have any semblance of challenge outside of the occasional retarded gimmick level in Sunshine (watermelon rolling, boat crossing the lava).
There's absolutely no actual platforming that is on part with shit like Luigi's Purple Coins or the Perfect Run. Go back and replay the games.
>$20 for this when you can go to the store and buy it on disc $20 new
>no one cares because it's nintendo
shaken muh dick
>>321236756
i thought you meant overall enjoy-ability rather than challenge.
but the galaxy games were a cakewalk compared to 64 to me. i haven't played sunshine in awhile and i'd have to play it again but i imagine fludd makes it pretty easy.
>>321236920
>but the galaxy games were a cakewalk compared to 64 to me
What levels in 64 even require some level of complex platforming besides the Bowser stages, Tick Tock Clock or Rainbow Ride?
>>321237125
i think it's because i was always going fast. if you move slowly and methodically it might be easy like the galaxy games. but that's boring as fuck.
>>321229165
I played DKCR on 3DS. What did they make you waggle for on Wii?
but i just bought Pandora's Tower.
now someone tell me how i wasted my money because i want to play it on the gamepad instead of running dolphin on my desktop (not nearly as comfy).
>>321233793
this
you wouldn't believe it, but its small things like that that can ruin a game if they aren't taken into account.
>>321233793
Why did they get rid of this? Also did EVERY GC game make use of them?
>>321235623
>Most Galaxy stages are linear enough that you don't need to move the camera around.
No. I don't like having to settle for eight less-than-ideal camera angles when I could put the camera exactly where I want it. The developer does not know better than the player, so the developer should give the player options.
>>321238083
>The developer does not know better than the player, so the developer should give the player options
While I agree on principle, I will say that I had more camera issues in Sunshine than I did in either Galaxy games.
Galaxy 1 > Galaxy 2 = 64 > Sunshine
>>321227459
>Mario Kart Wii VC gets released
>it ends up using the fanmade servers
Would be neat and would bring life to a near dead community and give consumers more variety
>>321238781
Who would even play Mario Kart Wii when MK8 exists?
>>321237315
to roll
>>321233963
You don't ever have to waggle, you just point and shoot. A lot better than analog controls + that non-optional lock-on system.
