If you ever wondered what Mr. Holes was like as a 10 year old, well, there ya go. I cannot wait for this game to finally come out, just from your impression alone I know that it's gonna be amazing.
Holmes, youre great and all, but I dont know how anyone could have been disappointed when first playing Mario 64
@ Vincent Pavey- Huh. Sorry you thought that. Personally,I thought Shannon and I got a long really well.
Just wait until you see what she says to me at the end of the next Skyward Sword video preview.

Jonathan, watching your child-like reaction to the demo was amazing, and I mean that sincerely. Your excitement made me want to play, and I'm not even that huge a Mario fan. Goombas that hold Tanooki power ups! I love it!
I totally agree. I got tired of the star-collecting, shine-collecting, and then star-collecting in Galaxy 1 and 2 AGAIN (except it was better in Galaxy because it was more linear). 3D Mario platformer with none of that star-collection business. That's what I want.
Holmes why are you PRing nintendo like that :( you're making me want a 3DS sooo bad with this and your video of luigi's mansion
Video game revisionists paint the N64 as a great machine but most hardcore gamers didn't like it at the time. Back then the cartridge format simply didn't have enough memory to make complex games. To me "Super" Mario isn't super unless he transforms from "tiny" Mario. Otherwise, it just don't make sense!
What I mean by lame is in the demo he couldnt even get past a pretty simple looking moving platform area.
I am questioning if hes played platformers before.

He did indeed fail terribly at trying to get by what looked like a really simple platform.. I reacted to that as well. What's up with that Holmes?
@Pencoin
Yeah, Mario could run, but it was his main method of movement instead of walking, there was no "Run Button" which is what Holmes is getting at.

Sleep deprived Holmes is hilarious. There should be a series devoted to him trying to fumble his way around 3D platformers.
Who cares if he wasn't the best at the game. He isn't playing for success, he's playing to check out how the game looks and feels. Geez it's not a big deal.
On topic, I can't wait for this game. It seems like the basic world 1-1 format, but within a 3D linear space. How awesome!

I can't wait. This is going to be such a great year for 3DS. With this (which in my opinion looks like SMG II, which was the best 3D Mario IMHO), Mario Kart, Star Fox, Kid Icarus and Luigis Mansion, 3DS is going to be the system to have.
Yeah, NGP looks nice, and I'll probably get one, but you just can't beat solid Nintendo titles...
I am Excite..... Bike!

I hear Nintendo say more Mario! and I sigh. But then I watch things like this and want a 3DS like it's E3 2010. Dammit Holmes, your joy is infectious.
I was worried about the control scheme after Chad's preview, but after watching you save yourself from death several times by wildly jumping around in the Tanooki suit, I am actually reassured. Sure Holmes, you couldn't get onto that platform, but you only really accidently died a couple times from not really paying attention, so all is well.
Anyhow, game looks awesomely rad. I can't wait.

Your description of 64 sounds incredibly ignorant. Nothing was wrong with taking out a run button, especially considering you tilted the damn stick to run. Turning small also was not needed to keep the Mario spirit in tact.
Still, I am very excited to play this Mario game. I love the character and any core games in his series are usually classics of the genre.

There goes Vista. Not this holiday, at least. Super MArio 3DS, Mario Kart 3DS, Kid Icarus, Star Fox, OCarina of Time 3D, Shinobi, Cave Story 3D, Bit.Trip.Saga, Resident Evil:Mercenaries and Driver:Renegade OR Need for Speed.
That's around FOUR HUNDRED bucks I'm going to HAVE to spend on handhelds until year's end, apparently. I don't think I'll add another 300 something with the Vita + games for now. Down the line, definitely. Maybe on a revision, if I can gather the patience.

@Stealth
I mean this with no disrespect intended but how long have you been on the site and how well do you know the editors?
If anyone has played platformers it's Holmes. Maybe he's so giddy with excitement he can't focus. XP

What, New Super Mario Brothers didn't do it for you Holmes? I'll admit to being intrigued by this new game, but as a kid who grew up with Mario since his infancy I still thought Mario 64 was a masterpiece.
I absolutely loved Mario 64, but I can agree with Holmes, something about it just didn't feel like the Mario I knew. I LOVED Galaxy and Galaxy 2, but this just looks like exactly the Mario game I've been wanting for years.
And watching Holmes turn into a 10 year old as he jumps off a ledge with the Tanooki suit for the first time, made me realize I need this game. So stoked.
Also, airships? Hell yes.
