What's the consensus on this game?
3D Land is a better 3DS game than 3D World is a Wii U game.
>>321554831
A thousand times this. 3D Land is great for what it was. As a mainline Mario game 3D World was terrible.
Solid but bland. Aside from the missing 3D, World was better.
Mega comfy. It has some unique level designs and gimmicks as well. Pretty close to being the best platformer on the system.
I 100% completed it so it can't be that bad.
its gud
>>321553489
It's ok.
Not the best Mario game or one of the top ones but it's ok.
If the levels were longer and slightly less linear it would have been much better.
>>321553489
Better than the entire NSMB series... and it was just merely ok.
It's easily the best handheld Mario game that isn't a port. I'd like games like 3D Land to be the standard for handhelds (replace the NSMB series), but they have no place on consoles. 3D was a vast disappointment compared to games like 64 and the Galaxies.
Fun
>>321553489
It is pretty good. The second eight worlds had some pretty great stages, especially if your not cheesing it with the tanuki suit.
I thought it would be just okay but I actually liked it a lot. Better than SMS or the Galaxy games for sure
>>321553489
very fun, but first half is extremely easy, 2md half is an ok challenge
>>321554973
Wut?
3D world was great, faggot. Go choke on a dick
I enjoyed it. I'm sad I seemed to have lost my copy of it.
It's fun
>>321553489
Best mario game of the last 8 years or so.
>All the postgame levels are just "do this previous stage but with a stricter time limit and/or cosmic mario chasing you"
>>321559809
>3D world
>great
Sure mate, and WiiU is a great console too!
>>321560482
What's wrong with a person who enjoyed the game?
>>321560661
Nothing, if you like eating shit it's fine, but don't go around saying "eating shit is great", because it is not.
>>321560995
nobody said anything about eating shit bud
Fun for a bit but it quickly gets bland and tiresome
>>321554973
3DW wasn't a mainline Mario game, it was just a sequel to 3DL. When viewed in this light, it's less insulting and even somewhat enjoyable
>>321555682
It's not like there's a lot of platformers to begin with on 3DS.
Anyway I'd say that Umihara Kawase is better.
a bit easy and good level design
A fun game that can kill a couple of hours like how Super Mario Land can do the same killing 30 minutes.
>>321557978
NSMBU and NSLU are genuinely good games though.
>>321561308
Both 3DL and 3DW are "mainline" Marios, as they were developed by the main team.
>>321553489
Keeping in mind that 3D Land was pretty much created, developed and published all in the middle of 3D World development, it's pretty impressive what it manages to crank out.
Yeah, in the grand scheme of things, it's ultimately just an appetizer for the what would be the next flagship 3D Mario on the Wii U, but I think 3D Land is still a very well-designed, charming, and balanced platformer.
Only issue is that the difficulty is pretty trivial for the first half of the game before you get to the special worlds then it just skyrockets.
>>321553489
Alright but it's not another 64 or Galaxy.
>>321561909
>in the middle of 3D World development
I sincerely doubt that 3D World took almost 5 years to develop.
>>321562152
>5 years
There's three years between Galaxy 2 and 3D World. That's pretty normal. Hell, considerably fast for a 3D Mario.
Considering both the Galaxy and "Mario 3D" families of the 3D Mario family are structured pretty similarly, being generally linear and focused, I wouldn't be surprised if they just recycled levels that weren't used in Galaxy 1 & 2 for 3D World.
>>321561909
>the next flagship 3D Mario on the Wii U
If 3DW was supposed to be a flagship Mario game, then Nintendo has truly lost it
>>321553489
good, of course, but WAY too easy
only proper challenging level was the very last 'secret' level
>>321562371
G2 came out in 2009, 3D World in 2013 with Land being the inbetween in 2011.
>>321562494
>>321562371
Nevermind, just checked again and Galaxy 2 did indeed come out in 2010. My bad.
>>321562494
Galaxy 2 came out in spring of 2010. This is not some obscure knowledge hidden in a scientific journal behind a paywall, you can look this up.
Friendly reminder that the fuckfaces who says 3D World isn't a real 3D Platformer are just as terrible as the fuckfaced Sunshine fags who say the Galaxy games aren't real 3D Platformers
>>321560995
the fuck is your problem?
>>321561460
>3D platformer
>Puzzle platformer
>Comparable in any way
I was thinking of DKCR 3D as a better platformer.
Friendly reminder 3D world is technically neither part of the mainline 3D Mario series or the 2D sidescrolling Mario series, but falls closer to the sidescroller series set in a 3D environment, and is definitely not meant to be a successor to Galaxy.
If you thought the game was shit because it wasn't Galaxy/Sunshine/64 quality, you're an actual tard.
What's the consensus on this game?
>>321565308
It let this happen, so I'm alright with it.
>>321565308
Jumps are too floaty and some worlds are really bad due to intrusive gimmicks in most levels (Desert was one of them, can't remember which one was the other).
Most people love it due to either the multiplayer, or the fact that it was the first on home consoles in a long time.
>>321565637
The ice world, fuck that piece of shit.
>>321565308
It's a good game. It came out before NSMB was rehashed to death. The multiplayer is enough to keep it fresh.
Like all the NSMB games, though, nothing really stands out as exceptional. It's a good game, but it's never great.
>>321565308
The original NSMB on DS blows the shit out of the other NSMB games, but NSMBWii is still a good game
>>321565308
NSMBU > NSMB > NSMBW >>> NSMB2
anything >>> Yoshi's New Island
NSLU goes alongside NSMBU I guess.
>/v/
>consensus
>>321565929
NSMB DS's level design is quite unremarkable. If I remember right the physics were somewhat off too, like it was too easy to lose momentum.
>>321566240
>too easy to lose momentum
Agree
>unremarkable level design
Disagree
>>321563191
>the fuckfaced Sunshine fags who say the Galaxy games aren't real 3D Platformers
How Is it possible to say that ?
The only 3D Mario worse is Sunshine. YMMV.
>>321565308
Simultaneously the best and worst multiplayer game I've ever played
>>321565308
Forgettable really. NSMBU> NSMB > NSMBWii > NSMB2
>>321565480
We posting sick ass Mario fanmades?
>>321561565
why do people keep saying this? NSMBWii had objectively better level design, better gimmicks and arguably better powerups. U feels like they scrambled together and made the game in a few weeks
What's the consensus on this game?
>>321568698
My DS goty tbqthwy senpai.
>>321568467
NSMBU levels have good flow. Everything is placed correctly to allow the player to make full use of triple jumps and never have to stop or slow down.
NSMBWii suffers from floaty physics and, as mentioned in previous posts, some worlds suffer from gimmicky levels with bad pacing. Certain parts of the game, like W8 for example, are pretty good but as a whole it's too flawed.
>>321568467
Nigga NSMBU has a better overworld, a better flying power up, challenge stages, carries over almost every powerup from NSMBW (not necessarily a good thing since it makes the games less unique, but the penguin suit and propeller shroom are only found in the star world if I'm not mistaken), better bosses, has New Super Luigi (sort of a standalone thing so I guess it doesn't count), and I'm pretty certain better physics.
I'm interested in hearing why you think Wii had better level design though, because I thought they were both par for the course.
I liked its usage of 3D to help with Platforming
It felt weird playing 3D World without the 3D
>>321569060
I'm on the NSMBU side but I have to say the overworld is a complete joke. There's no tought put into its design and it shows off the most with the secret levels positions, as most of them are located outside of the map itself with stupidly long roads to connect them.
3D World is a shitload of fun to play with other people
Post your status fuckboi's
perfect 5 Shiny Stars
>>321569749
The majority of games become more enjoyable when played with others.
The problem with 3DW and New Mario's MP is that it's not balanced around precise play (which, although possible is highly improbable) and serves only to create confusion.
>>321569541
I'm surprised to hear that. I actually completely agree with that sentiment, and have stated in the past something very similar in defense of SMW's overworld. However, I'd still put NSMBU's OW above NSMBW's, which really just has nothing going for it at all.
I want to punch the mother fucker at Nintendo who thought making World S7-4 was a good idea
It's already hard enough to adjust the flip panels reacting to jumps rather than spins
But shoving in Giant Shadow Mario at the same time was a dick move
>>321569749
>everybody sitting around the TV on couches, swapping the worst scoring player out every couple of levels
>fucking shit up on the one ghost house level with light blocks and a moving platform above an abyss, tossing niggas daily
>undoing progress in levels with those switch plates that change from blue to yellow and vice versa when stepped on
>ground poundin' crown niggas
Honestly superb. But fuck the final secret level, we've been on this shit for years.
>>321553489
I hated it at first, because it was so easy and didn't think it was gonna get hard for the bonus levels so I dropped it after finishing the main game. After hearing that the game actually becomes hard for the special worlds I played them and got my ass handed to me.
Then I got gud and then I started to go for 100% and collect everything.
Then I deleted my file and started from a new because I wanted sparkling stars.
Now I sit at my 5 star sparkling file and love it. Still playing it from time to time to beat streetpass niggers who think they need to finish a level faster than me
>>321553489
An hamburguer.
>>321553489
Solid but soulless
>>321565308
Why did I even bother, you get fucking nothing. Is it the same in U as well?
>>321572328
>you get fucking nothing
The reward is all the fun you had playing those bonus levels familton.
>>321572507
Getting some of the star coins in W9 was anything but fun.
But you're right I guess, I'm still stoked to play/100% U and 3DW next week, when I get my hands on a WiiU.
