Destructoid is gaming news, community, videos, and sometimes love. Take the tour or jump in with Facebook:

 



Everything is just all happiness and smiles for Mario and the Toad people when all of a sudden, BAM! The town gets attacked by none other than Bowser and ... HOLY SH*T! IT'S THE FLYING WAR SHIPS! No idea if you'll be actually able to fight on the ships (like in SMB 3) but just seeing them and hearing the Warship theme brought a splash of retro joy to my blackened heart.

I also liked the fact that when Mario runs by the Toads, what they say automatically pops up rather than you having to press a button to talk to them everytime. The video then goes on to show Bowser summoning a space ship and then taking the Princess's castle into outer space. The prologue ends with Magikoopa swooping down and blasting Mario off of the castle. 

Turns out Sir David has known about this since he "hacked" the game at Leipzig. Also, I am official excited for this game now.

@ Zardoz,

I get that, just wondering how that would help the problem at all. Tell me what Nintendo do other than make their console and then make games for it (as you would recommend they do). They have no other resources to direct towards games, so the end product would be exactly what we have today, minus all the third party games.

Now i know Nintendos games are almost always better than the third party games on their console, but we still need something to fill in the gaps. Bring on a Timesplitters or something to do that.

A quality control system, i would love, but i doubt many game publishers would appreciate that. The idea is that the community should be the quality control, only buying good games, but whenever a game doesnt sell well on a Nintendo console, Nintendo is blamed for killing third-party support.

Goddamit, I'm ranting now.

*chobit: "Why can't any third parties \ or any other first party games for that matter \ pull off graphics like galaxy?"

Um, because Galaxy is THE system seller and therefore has an unlimited budget. Nintendo has plenty of other games that look like budget 3rd party titles, but THIS one must look good.

Meanwhile, Nintendo started the whole crappy port issue by telling developers about ultra-low dev costs and monopolizing their online strategy with re-releases. What kind of developers are you going to attract to a platform if you do that?
