If I could play Galaxy with a Wii U Pro Controller my life would be complete.
I am not saying that the Galaxy games are overrated, but their fanbase sure love to shit on other Mario installments.
>>258085548
because they are better.
Mario Galaxy 2 is simply a better game than Mario 64 at what mario 64 does. And I think its a better game than sunshine, which is different. I have yet to play 3d world/land.
NSMB wii is the best mario game. Objectively..
Apart from Zelda(where the oppose holds true), every nintendo iteration is better than the last. Fight me.
>>258085548
OP here.
64 is good for it's time but fuck me that game is what OoT is to the Zelda fanbase, you can't have any discussion of Mario without them jumping in and pushing their oh so ebin 90's kids memes onto us.
Sunshine is pretty damn great and even does some aspects better than 64, but fuck 100%'ing it. The fanbase is alright too but can be kinda loud, not nearly as loud as 64's fans though.
3D Land and World are both great but they're really unimaginative compared to earlier installments. I'm not one of those fags who constantly have to scream "REHASH, REHASH, MUH 90'S" whenever Mario is even brought up but yeah. From what I've seen their fanbase is next to non-existent.
>>258084720
http://youtu.be/QrvvkW2blw0
>>258085548
I think all 3D Mario games are great, primarily because they all do very different things (except for Galaxy 2) and a lot of them were pretty damn mind blowing at the time.
I don't even think it's fair to compare Mario 64 and Galaxy.
>>258085548
Just like Zelda fans, fans of every installment of the series like to shit on other people for liking other installments.
Actually, scratch that, it's like every other franchise fanbase on earth.
If your favorite track isn't Good Egg Galaxy you're doing it wrong
They really went all out on the soundtrack for the Galaxy games, didn't they?
SM64 is better.
>>258084720
Gusty Garden / Purple Coins.
I know it gets a lot of praise and is the main theme and all but there's a reason I think. Great fucking tracks.
But galaxy has a major flaw. A huge fucking one.
Its replay value is horrible, since it relies on themepark and the novelty of each new planet rather than the engaging controlling.
It's not a flaw you will recognize on release, but it's a flaw you will recognize a year or three later when you want to replay it.
That's a huge step down from most previous mario games.
>>258087373
I love replaying Galaxies.
>>258086364
I wouldn't really agree that 3D World had unimaginative levels, I felt that they had a decent variety and did a pretty goo job altogether. I agree with 3D Land though.
I played through Galaxy this summer, and I do agree that's it's a better game than 3D World, and 64 for that matter. Have yet to play Galaxy 2.
I'm guessing you haven't played 3D Worldwith friends or family
>>258084929
>dat fucking fiddle
Excellent taste
>>258087373
True, I noticed that in both games on beating it. They both expect you to play through old levels again to get the 'real' ending, but by that point I'm pretty much done and have no interest in backtracking at all, much less play through the exact same levels again with Weegee.
I liked both Galaxy games, but 3D World is much better for replayability. It's damn good
>motion controls
Sunshine has already aged better than MG1.
>>258087459
I can't, man. I don't know how you did that.
I started out excited as fuck "why don't I replay those amazing games?"
But then, I knew all the galaxies, all the gimmicks, how to traverse every planet. There is little player input compared to previous mario titles, it just felt not fun to me.
Here's hoping the next mario games give you more freedom of traversing the levels, and the gimmicks are not so "in your face". I really value replayability in games like mario. I can replay some of them dozens and dozens of times, except for the Galaxy games.
>>258087768
I have never once had a problem with the spin. It's just a flick of the nunchuck, it doesn't require any sort of fidelity.
>>258083964

Shit is mad fun, I didn't realised the wii had a truckload of good game can you recommend some for me? I like everything.
I'm a Sonyfan but I'm maybe going to buy a Wii since it have actual games on it. well not really but more than the PS4/BONE
>>258087768
More like half the moves got removed and the game stopped being trick-based so that it doesn't have as much lasting appeal.
But yeah, MG1 has aged worse than Sunshine, I agree.
>>258087768
Wii motion controls were never good. Even on the day of release, standard buttons were simply more accurate (and they still are).
It's not about aging really, it's just about having been sub-par since day one.
>>258085084

That's because it doesn't have a truckload of good games, just a bunch of them.

Just like any console then? I have over 40 games for my Wii, and they are all at least decent, maybe excluding The Conduit which was a huge mistake to buy full price.
>>258089834
Captain Toad's new game is supposed to be the new 3D World-esque game
the new 3D Mario will probably be more like 64/Sunshine with elements of Galaxy
>>258089979
The PS3 has considerably more good games, it also didn't see a total cut in support several years before it should have, so that helped.
No need to be butthurt dude, the Wii does infact have a tiny library of GOOD games, despite being a 100 millions unit sold system.
It's pretty much comparable to the GC one, and the GC sold a fifth of the Wii. That's enough said. The Wii saw a lot of effort go into mii shit and social shit, development, manpower and time took away from developing core games. And it showed.
>>258085548
this is true, every time i make a sunshine thread it get bombarded by Galaxy shitters.
hell, i had a little talk with /v/ few midnights ago and most of the sunshine fans are afraid to discuss SMS here.

I don't know how this game is so perfect. It just is.
Ya know, thinking back, i can remember 64 and sunshine much better than galaxy.
Mainly because those two games had actual locations. With galaxy you mostly just jumping from small orb to other slightly larger orb.
Not that galaxy is bad, but i do hope the next 3d Mario will have larger ground levels with multiple ways to gets stars.
>>258090503

Well, they did confirm that it is a 3D Mario game. But.. That's all they confirmed.
I really hope that, if it's not something new, that it's Sunshine 2. I'm going to be disappointed if it's Galaxy 3 or 3D World 2.
>>258091013
What was your problem with the controls? Please don't say shake to attack. It never was a problem honestly even if a button would be just as good.
Play on Dolphin for 10/10 game if that's the case.

Mario has no weight, there is no momentum, which was the only strength of the previous titles, the amazing way mario controlled and being able to build speed, doing all sorts of tricks.

They also said if people wanted a game like SM64 they should make their voices be heard and nintendo might consider it. But it will NEVER EVER happen, I know they just said it to not say "fuck off".
>>258090843
Don't believe the retards telling you that all your dreams will come true. You only have yourself to blame if you are dumb enough to do that.
But it won't be another NSMB game. I think the most likely scenario is that it will be a sequel to Super Mario 3D World, so they can basically pull a Galaxy 2 with it. That's just speculation, though.
Wii U version when?
I want to play with a non-retarded controller.
Super Mario Galaxy is one of the most innovative games ever made, and Galaxy 2 completely perfected it. I think the only reason not enough people realize this is because they didn't grow up with them the same way they have with 64 (which is still brilliant) and Sunshine (which isn't), and have let nostalgia blind them.
It's one of the few games where despite being tied to a specific base mechanic (running and jumping on stuff), the possibilities for levels and mechanics nearly feels endless. That's exactly why I'd still be thrilled if they made a Galaxy 3, because I know there can still be some much more that can be done

Mario is slow and has no weight to him at all.
Also, the camera can mess with your controls by changing your direction/refusing to change your direction.
>>258091925
Do you have a single fact to back that up?
>>258091435
SM64 had the most control over Mario and really nice physics (all that diving and jump kicking, sliding and other little stuff you could do to control Mario) but SMG doesn't really need them because it doesn't have big levels with complex geometry (random angle slopes and hills)
3D Land has that roll which I like a lot even if it's a somewhat boring and lifeless game overall. I also like that swim controls are like in 2D Mario and none of that "Mario is a submarine" stuff.

>>258091832
I grew up with 64, played Galaxy when it was out and never properly played Sunshine until last year. And IMOSunshine > 64 > Galaxy
The possiblity for levels might feel endless but it sure as hell wasn't implemented endlessly. Galaxy has god tier presentation. The music, aesthetic and level themes are top notch. But everything outside of that just feels way too restricted and linear, and this is only amplified by the fact that the theme is endless space.
It doesn't have the variation or openness that other 3D Marios had and it doesn't have the challenge of 2D Marios to back it up.

No. 3DW level design is by far the worst of any 3D mario so far. The co-op feature ruined any finesse 3DW may have had.

DQVIII looks pretty nice but has a ton of low quality textures that stick out. Not very high poly either. It's alright. Better than most games.
Rogue Galaxy: Roughly the same as Dragon Quest I'd say. It's been a while since I emulated it.
Wind Waker does look really good, (better than the HD remake overall). It does get a bit smudgy here and there but if you use the HD texture pack it's great. We weren't really discussing mods though.
SMG is still the best because it has the most polygons and has that candy like feel where it's as far from realism as possible so it upscales really well. since there aren't that many flat textures that look bad.
>>258093370
The first one was god-awful. What's worse, it sold 20 million copies whereas SMG1 sold 5m (at the time new super mario bros came out).
First one on the DS is a legit 3/10 game, it's literally impossible to die even if you try, it's awful. I have never once died on my first playthrough. Never happened with a mario game, not even close.
It's a walking simulator from left to right, with no obstacles. Not to mention, it lasted fucking what, 6 hours? What the fuck. I got mad for PIRATING it, what a fucking waste of time.

How utterly fitting.
>>258094727

It would be a 10/10 game with a good controller. It's funny that a game that was supposed to sell the Wii kinda proved how shitty the wiimote is compared to the more classic controller.
>>258094358
Galaxy 2 is essentially the same game with new levels so an expansion is more like it. In a way it's not as impressive as it's "More of the same" but the levels in it are more finely crafted in my opinion making it the superior game. Like if you just look at SMG and SMG2 without considering which came first then SMG2 for sure is better.
I feel like this stuff is excusable once. SMG3 would be pushing it if they would have made it and sold it at full price again.

Sprites are not only tougher to work with than models, but to the average consumer they would look cheaper.
>Mario with sprites? What is this, 1989?
But don't get me wrong, I absolutely 1000000% agree that they should change up the aesthetic when they inevitably make another 2D Mario game.
>>258094979
If it has a good story throughout the game and an ending that sticks with the player that's all you need for a 3D Mario story
>>258095069
I said biggest emphasis on story
you could argue Partners in Time and Bowser's Inside Story are pretty big on plot but not as much as SPM or TTYD
>>258094727

Grew up with 64 myself. I like the linearity in the newer games more, but there's no question that 64 and Sunshine was more fast-paced (which makes sense beause of the bigger worlds) and I love the sliding in Sunshine
Still, Sunshine had a ton of flaws including bullshit blue coins, little level variation and too much FLUDD.

I remember collecting the 120 stars, then unlocking luigi, then doing that flipping platforms coin galaxy with luigi (since it was the only difficult part in the game - and it was difficult because I mistakenly assumed that you needed to loot them all, so I was studying a specific route to never run out of platforms - when I realized this wasn't the case, I finished the level on that same try), and then quitting.
There was an ending? Didn't notice. Don't give a fuck about mario story besides the novelty of the moment, then I forget those even existed 10 minutes later.

Oh yeah, definitely. I wasn't saying they should try to make a Mario rendition of The Last of Us or anything, I was just talking about something like Sunshine. It would still mainly be known for game play, but the plot would be there to spice it up a little. Make things a little more interesting.

It's nowhere near as time consuming or difficult as making actual sprites.

>>258094630
I actually think it would be really cool if they actually made a 2D Mario completely with 2D Sprite/backgrounds/everything. If you're going to take the nostalgic route, you might as well go all the way.

Super Mario Land on the gameboy was great, so was 6 golden coins.
What is lost worlds? super mario bros 2? You mean lost levels? Or is it another game?

How?
>>258097029

What do you mean how?
"good guys sacrifice themselves at the end" IS generic, it happened a trillion times.
And so did "bad guy TWEEST he will sacrifice himself to set things right".
Maybe you should write a literature piece about the ending in SMG1, and get laughed at.

That's some shit taste you have there, anon.

This I can agree with. Especially since it paved the way for the Wario Land series.

3D World was great, eat a dick, OP.
>>258097534
>hating on the legendary first mario game on the gameboy
It was that kind of bad that it was good. It was silly, difficult, and controlled like shit.
And that made it great. It felt like a throwback to the shitty 2d computer platformers of 1980.
Also had some of the best levels/monsters of the entire franchise. And the vehicles.

It's the only NSMB in my eyes that was good besides the original. I'm playing U now and has boring and shitty level design. 2 was actually fucking good. Wii sucks as well. NSMB belongs on a handheld apparently.

Just because of this thread I'm starting a new save in Mario Galaxy
>>258097029
I wonder what a Mario comic series would be like. You know, like the ones in the '90s? Somebody should email Nintendo or something.I'm a lazy fuck.
>>258098759
But it's harder than Galaxy 1, that's pretty much a fact
>>258098912
>>258098862
>>258098997
well maybe i worded that wrong. Mario is already casual in the first place but galaxy 2 is a lot easier except for the special world or whatever it was called
Best song of the entire fucking franchise coming through.
http://youtu.be/0izkufICrK8
Much like Galaxy 2 as a whole it took the source material that was already there and fucking perfected it. I get so fucking giddy every single time I hear this without fail.
>>258099097
Mario's average
Kirby is the casual platformer
>>258089481
I would go as far as to say every level has something unique about it, but I'm not quite sure, maybe some of the early levels are plain.
But just about all of the levels have something to set them apart or develop a mechanic from a previous level.
If the shitty handheld versions didn't exist and U was the first title in the series I think people would hail it as the coming of Christ in 2D Mario form.

Mario levels up the difficulty as it goes on, at least by a bit

Mario is the perfect size in that comic.
I feel like he's a little too tall and thin lately.
>>258099931
His size got normalized to be accepted by normalfags, the new audience of modern nintendo.
In a few years, mario will become a Mii with a custom hat anyway.

As the years went by, appreciation of PiT raised dramatically. It's all those toddlers back then who grew up.
>>258098759
Arguably it was the start of the infection of NSMB into the rest of the franchise, e.g. flags, casual guides and help, more streamlined levels, less focus on story etc.
LOL

What's this, a court? He dared assume your glorious nintendo game uses rehashed assets, get over it manchild.

I just... I just can't possibly comprehend how someone could possibly have taste this shit.
It's like saying that stickerstar is the best paper mario. It's so wrong on so many levels. NSMB wii has less content than either world or 3. The difficulty is dropped significantly. It was just utter shit to play and filled with boring secrets that did nothing to add to the game.
I wouldn't say that it's bad. I would just say the World is clearly better. And I say that when I hate World on my own subjective basis.

Hell yea! I loved that they brought it back in Galaxy.
>>258101093
I don't see how flags, less focus on story, or even streamlined levels are inherently bad things in Mario games.
Casual guides and help are dumb, but as far as I'm aware they're optional.
>>258085956
>NSMB wii is the best mario game
Typos, right?
>>258101928
Actually, the easter egg was created just for this game
Intellectual CHEKKU-MEITOOOO
>>258101501
What I meant to say is, they stopped giving a fuck.
At least with 64 they had the whole "Princess Peach's castle" shit, Sunshine had Isle Delfino and Galaxy had the Comet Observatory, Bowser's intro cutscene with the Doomships, final cutscenes etc.
Galaxy 2 was literally just like "ah who gives a fuck" which some people might like but I personally didn't, it was like they just stopped trying even a little bit.
Any Sunshine Bros out there?
...No? Okay then.
>>258101928
there isn't a blooper pixel easter egg in Sunshine

m8 to me G2 is way harder than the first. Maybe it seems easier because you are already familiar with the new mechanics
>>258102214
Good. I don't want to relive it ;_;
>>258102109
Sunshine is my favourite 3D Mario for sure. Galaxy is a close second though.
My two cents on Galaxy
The game has the production values (visuals, music, presentation in general) and some very tight controls but seems to forget several other things that really dragged down enjoyability for me. The level system seems to be a mix of 64/Sunshine's mission system and the linear levels of 2D Marios, but this just leads to you treading the same ground, doing the same shit multiple times in the same galaxy until there's some path split and the rest is slightly different until you get the star (boss fight, minigame, platforming challenge). Oh wait, I said challenge, right? Well, there's none here. People always refer to a few endgame stars as difficult Luigi's Purple Coins first and foremost) but even those are cleared with a couple tries by anyone who had touched the other 3D Marios in their lives.
Linear, easy stages with lots of recycled content. That's how I'd sum up Galaxy. I enjoyed Galaxy 2 way, way more for actually stepping up the challenge a fair bit and changing the level structure to a better one; galaxies now hold only a couple of stars, with the first usually being a completely original course and the others challenge variants of the base course.

>my opinion = fact
the only fact you prove that one part of the game does not equal the rest of the gameplay/content being wholefully hard. the other one is just plain Nintendoomed rumor shit a typical GAFfer will make up and send to the media. the third one is blantant falseflag that SexGenie will spit out. Plus Nintendo hasn't gave SMS' gameplay any fucking attention for a long time. also what is wrong with easter eggs?
if you want to cry about Nintendo failing hard, go make a fucking "WiiU is dying" thread so you can feel better about it, not here.
>>258102076
>tfw 64's peach castle had a very well thought-out layout, both internal and external
>all that tidbits of informations about bowser grabbing the stars and peach missing

Agree, they just stopped giving a fuck about context.
>>258102109
Although I like Sunshine I can acknowledge its flaws while still appreciating what it had to offer
I wouldn't mind a sequel or something similar to 64DS where it's the same game but expanded on with Luigi and WarioThe only problems I have with it are Blue Coins and Mario doesn't say the usual "Thank you so much for playing my game!" at the end

You must be desperate.
>>258102457
the only time the layout in Peach's Castle has made sense was in Paper Mario 64
>>258102989
it's the only 3D Mario without it, not counting 3D World, it's a nice little extra that compliments the game
>>258103135
>not counting 3D world
Why don't you count it? This is the opposite of nostalgia, this is blatantly criticizing older games for no reason.
>>258103298
3D Land and 3D World aren't in the same vein of 3D Platforming as 64/SMS/Galaxy 1 and 2
>>258103135
How does a line of text once you already finished it compliment a game? The autism continues.

Takashi Tezuka (one of the producers) kinda wants to see Sunshine 2 (MM3D) to happen one day. Charles Martinet (voice of Mario) is a fan of Super Mario Sunshine and too wants to see Sunshine 2 out one day.
now all we need is another discussion of Splatoon from them, asking Miyamoto or Iwata about Sunshine 2, and confirmation to seal that deal.
>>258103837
So you can buy New super mario 71 and sticker stars and support the developers.
>>258100130
No, because that's the way Nintendo rolls
Ocarina of Time is built off Starfox 64
And Metroid Fusion and Zero Mission are both built off Wario Land 4
>>258103809
The post-credits part of Pikmin 2 is the best part of the game, the Wistful Wild caves for instance.
>>258102767
Well, if they made a sequel for Wii U (not that it will ever happen), they could use R for spraying while running and ZR for spraying in place.

>>258104124
As much as I would love to see a Wii U Paper Mario game, I think it's still a bit too early for it. Sticker Star, as unwanted as it was, was still fairly recent.
>>258104465
Considering the atrocious fan reaction, they need to at least be aware that SS sucked harder than post-movie SpongeBob.

>>258102767
All of you are bros.
I genuinely have it has my favorite 3D Mario game, despite playing 64 first, and have played all of them up to 3D World.
The physics, and the interconnected world just feel right to me.
>>258104485
Sticker Star was originally going to be like TTYD to the point where Miyamoto told them to start over because it was TOO similar. I'm still mad about it.
>>258104784
Yeah, just like the fan reaction of not having an F-zero for years, right?
Game sold well, that's all that matters. Even more so if they are making a WiiU version, they WILL go for the sales.
>>258104820
It's okay, there are so many people alive right now, some of them are bound to have wrong opinions, statistically.
