I see what you did there, Sterling.
Epic video, still it kind of stinks that this will be the only Nintendo game this holiday season but now I can buy No More Heroes.
I c wut u did thar.
Also, I want this so badly now, it's getting me all nostalgic.
I did a thing there.
um, what's with the shots of two people holding Wii controllers and smiling like they were recently lobotomized. This is a one player only game right? (insert masturbation joke here)
brosef: 2P can assist by shooting stars at enemies or something
Hehe. Do you guys remember that small 1Up vs. Destructoid war? Win.
SUBLIMAL!
So which is it Jim, is the Wii for us or not?
I WANT TO RIDE TEH STINGRAY
When I eventually buy my bargain bin Wii a few years from now, I'll really really enjoy playing this...
Also
So where are the motion controls?
It looks like the people are playing the game with the Wiimote/Nunchuk controller as if it was a PS2 pad broken in half.
Looks like the game could be played on the old Wavebird.
What's the point of the motion controls if Nintendo themselves doesn't use them to drastic effect?
Tron: Well, my last post pretty much made it clear -- no console is really for us, considering what charts most of the time.
We just have to pretend they are.
@Jim
I beg to differ. Some consoles just have something for everyone:
anyone hear star fox music at the end of that when mario blasts off into space?
lubczk: The pointer is used (the star on screen) and I believe that waggle will make Mario spin. Why add unnecessary motion controls? There aren't any in SSBB for example. The motion controls are there for games that make sense like Wii Sports or Warioware, for which they are amazing. For more arguments along this line see the DS, re: Mario Kart.
no u
Looks pretty spectacular. Hopefully when this is released, developers will be forced to actually put a bit more effort into their releases than just having shitty looking ports with waggle.
-> lubczyk: You sir are a buffoon. Wii games should not have waggle just for the sake of it, because it's stupid, pointless and not very fun. I'm sure the game uses the motion controls at least a little, but forcing a player to use them constantly is a damn pain. Besides, the game does make substantial use of the pointer at any rate.
It uses the pointer to swish a star around the screen and to jump, and the motion control on the nunchuk to perform spinny attacks. Probably a lot more to it than that, but I think this will be the first Nintendo game to really utilise their controller.
Yes they should, brad! OK! THEY SHOULD ALL HAVE MOTION CONTROL!
Tee-hee.
On the real. If I knew that guy in the ad and he acted like that in front of me while playing some video game...I would so smack his teeth with a spoon. In a New York-fucking-minute.
Did you guys see how we pulled his body back and followed that shit with a, "woah." What is this? 1995? Reminds me of that stupid toy you'd stray to one leg, and have it swing around you. The whole point of it was to jump over it with that one free leg. It was jump rope for retards, basically and they were all happy! Why?
lubczyk: You are a retard. Pure, unadulterated, and bottled at-the-source. People like you baffle me. If a dev uses waggle, you bitch. If a dev doesn't use waggle, you bitch. There is no winning with people like you.
I wish they'd make a Mario game that isn't an RPG, that has a really good story to it.
The Castle level with the RETRO...
"Balls of Fire Wands" is PURE WIN!
By the way that Mario "Bee Suit" is tight too!
@Madninja
Yes, you can get No More Heroes. In Febuary, which co-incidentally is when Smash Bros comes out.
Wow. After watching this, I became even more uninterested in this game. All I can think of to express myself is a resounding "meh".
I can't fucking wait for this game!
I am pretty excited about this game
To people who don't understand the control of this game:
The Wiimote essentially allows the player to intuitively explore a 3D world on the fly, if you see something, then you can interact with it at the speed of thought, which means that for the first time a controller allows the player to function at the same speed in which they think. The Wiimote is all about liberating the player and allwoing individual expression within a game.
This has rather huge implications because it means that developers can't get away with simply designing a series of repeated set pieces which are activated once the player enters a certain area, now game designers can create a 3D world knowing that the player has freedom of thought due to a controller which allows instant interactive expression.
In short, game design will change form being a carefully constructed fireworks display, into an open world which resembles the character of the player rather than the designer.
The improvisation and imagination of the player has now been given a way to express itslef. I personally think this is a big deal, and I also think that third party developers have so far, completely misunderstood the Wii.
That did sort of sound like Star Fox music for a second.
A Star Fox cameo would be teh roxxors.
@ZARDOZ
I think you might be blowing the wiimote a little out of proportions there. Don't get me wrong, it's an innovative device and the potential is there. I just doubt that anyone will take the time to create what you're talking about when they're raking in the cash on shitty ports and mini game compilations.
@GuitarAtomik
Yep, I doubt it also.
I think this video is a fake.
1) Mario has lightning fists. Everyone knows that Mario can only have FLAME fists.
2) AC Slater doesn't play video games.
3) AC Slater is obviously sitting in a fake room with rented furniture. Where is his nachos? Where is teh gamer fu3l?!
4) ...And he's obviously faking how much fun he is having. Who reacts with smiles and giggles when you start uncontrollably sliding on an ICE board?!
5) Bowser shooting that many fireballs? Big ups to the "N" for showing us the last boss battle in the game.
6) More proof that the youth spends too much time playing video games, the trailer now transitions to a night time scene.
7) Later we see a guy playing video games with a girl. this is OBVIOUSLY where the trailer falls apart. Everybody knows that girls don't play video games.
8) ...But thanks for letting me dream that some day I will be able to play this game with my girlfriend, who will be aimlessly shooting shit as I try to beat the game. Ah ferget it - If I've managed to get my GF on my couch while I'm playing video games, she better be hanging onto my freakin' wand and not the Nintendo one... ^_~
Mario 64 2 FTW!
i love this game i cant wait till it comes ouy
I think even God is excited for the release of this game. mmmmmmmmmmmmmmARIO!!!!! =DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
@vexed alex
you mean this thing?
I don't know about the rest of you, but I would enjoy the game more if Mario didn't have an orgasm every time he jumped in the air. Mario says way too much for not having any dialog.
* Morrius: "It uses the pointer to swish a star around the screen and to jump"
You use the A button to jump.
@zardoz:
All I've seen from videos so far is Mario jumping around, using the spin attack on enemies, and a "casting" call on ghosts. Where's the environmental interaction of which you speak? Walking on walls? Ratchet and Clank has been doing that phenomenally well with the Gravity Boots for years.
iFERN0 wins at the internet ^_^
That trailer was pretty mediocre, but I blame that on the 2nd rate actors who over-exaggerate everything. Where do they find these people?
I mean seriously... WHERE?!
Fap.
On a side note, can we just stop it with the footage of people waving the Wiimotes and grinning inanely? I think everybody's got it now, and I'm sick to death of watching these cringeworthy fools demonstrate what prats we will all get to look like.
Seriously. I’m glad I’m not alone in my opinion. If you want to show a trailer of people with vapid smiles on their places jumping around while they play Wii games on a demo kiosk at Best Buy or something, that’s fine, but actual trailers should just feature gameplay and/or CG. This is getting old.
Hey, the capitalized letters in sUpeR MaRio GalAxY spell a secret message!
How did you find out?
thats interesting that they havent taken out the ur mr gay yet... wonder if it will be in the final
@ Mxyzptlk Ranked 2nd now:
IDK, there were some stars by the letters or sommat.
