Super Mario Super Mario Galaxy

Which was completely useless. It still doesn't change the fact that SPM was a Gamecube game.

It was a Gamecube game. But it is a Wii game, development transfered from the Gamecube to the Wii.

I know. I wish I thought of it sooner

You should have

I would love for that to happen, too. But there's no reason why they need to do "One-per console" for their classic franchises.

IMO it should stay this way. Take a look at what Nintendo did with Mario Party releasing it every year, it's boring as hell now, the keg is empty, and Luigi's passed out on the couch with penises drawn on his face with markers. Take a look at what Sega did with Sonic the Hedgehog by releasing so many damn core Sonic titles in a short time such as Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic the Hedgehog nex-gen, and Sonic and the Secret Rings (almost every two years), the Sonic franchise is in a horrible state right now.

Now tell me, can you tell me where there's a crappy core Mario game? Tell me where there's a crappy Zelda game? A crappy Super Smash Bros.?

They should make a Fire Emblem RPG in the vein of FF.

I think releasing the Japanese only titles on the Virtual Console in North America, would really help promote the Fire Emblem series. And what you said.

Earthbound needs to cement itself here. DK needs a game like DK64. The Donkey Kong was Nintendo's answer to DDR/Guitar Hero. It sucked. It sucked even more that they made a platformer using the bongos. Get back to DK's roots. I like the image of him in Brawl as a nasty ape. Let's see that instead of some ******ed gorilla that plays the bongos.

Completely agreed.

Those games are different. IMO, they just kept running out of ideas for MP. They made that dumb microphone. Now they seem to have more doors open with the Wiimote. Sonic is a lost cause. Nintendo puts so much care into their big franchises, you don't need to worry about them being overused. They wouldn't be making a new Mario or Zelda every year. It should be 2-3 years between games.

Now tell me, can you tell me where there's a crappy core Mario game? Tell me where there's a crappy Zelda game? A crappy Super Smash Bros.?

That is because there is so much care put into their development they make sure they are good. It has nothing to do with there being only 1 game per console. It's probably the reason why they struggled with the Gamecube. There was only Mario Sunshine (which was a little disappointing), Windwaker, and Melee. All 3 game out in the first 2 years of the Gamecube. If you had another Mario game on the level of SM64 or TP came out earlier, it may have faired better.

Completely agreed.

Fortunately, they seem to be going that way. They released that Sin & Punishment game that was Japan-exclusive on the VC. They ported FFIII to the DS. Hopefully it continues. They should add GB/A games to the VC.

DK needs respect. Judging by that clip from Brawl, they seem to be giving him some. After all, he is their first character ever.

Somewhat of a spoiler concerning a boss battle, but watching it makes me want to play. Badly.

 

[SupahSaiyangirl]

if god had a wii this would be the game he would play.........damn you nintendo why must you make a game that will take up my entire thanksgiving-christmas holiday damn you to hell.......but yeah sega take note see how long the gaps between the mario are...yeah less is truly more!!!

 

[terry78]

I played some of it at Game Crazy again last night...this **** will give you vertigo.

 

[Manic]

Wow. Out pathetic concept of gravity means nothing to Mario.

 

[SupahSaiyangirl]

mario defies all laws of gravity, physics, motion, relativity, and just about every law you vant think of...................mario is awesome!!!!

 

[Addendum]

The Wii has been bumped up to a strong maybe.

I was skeptical about the Wii, but it looks just like the game I wanted back in junior high (16 years ago, which was when Super Mario World was THE game)- which had Mario fly around to various worlds, since I figured having Mario visit an entire world Nintendo could only go bigger.

Only reason the Wii is a "strong maybe" is because I'm not going to go out of my way to get it.

I just found something out about this game that makes me INCREDIBLY happy and already will have me playing the game on multiple playthroughs.

Super Mario Galaxy will have a unlockable playable character.....

Spoiler

....named Luigi.

"Yes, Luigi will be playable once again in a proper Super Mario adventure, but only after you've secured 120 stars, completed the purple coin missions, and defeated Bowser a second time. According to the alleged guide scan "Luigi jumps higher and further, and also runs faster, but has trouble stopping. They each have the same moves, such as the long-jump or backflip, but the difference in their basic jump, running speed, and stopping ability makes completing the game harder."

Ah, awesome!

I'm glad he's not reduced to walking around obviously rigged mansions being helped by an apparantly pedophile scientist.

 

[Addendum]

I've liked Luigi more than Mario.

 

[Jennifer Walters]

That's too much trouble for Luigi. Why not just do it old school style Nintendo, where you pick between the two.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

"Luigi will be playable once again in a proper Super Mario adventure, but only after you've secured 120 stars, completed the purple coin missions, and defeated Bowser a second time."

Jesus....

 

[terry78]

So basically they have to act like he's some super secret character when he and Mario are supposed to be ****ing partners from the get-go. Makes perfect sense.

 

[Manic]

*angry fist shake*

Damn you, Nintendo!

 

[terry78]

After all that trouble, he better be able to jump twice as high, shoot fireballs from the jump, and go invincible every 20 seconds.

 

[Son of Sun]

They could've even make it so that Mario and Luigi would be different, like in SMB2, where Luigi had much higher jump than Mario. This would make people play the game even more! Altough, I'm guessing this would've been borderline annoyance: "Man... do I have to climb all this way again with Luigi to make that jump? That's ass."

And so on.

Can't really think a reason why I would want to do anything with Luigi more than 1 minute after I'd collect all the stars with Mario.

 

[Addendum]

It seems like Luigi is the cross-eyed red-headed stepchild with regards to Nintendo

guess what guys i know something about smg.......

extreme spoiler alert do not look if you hate spoilers!!! but its really really awesome

Spoiler

luigi is in the game

 

[UltimateJustin]

I hate how Nintendo has changed the Super Mario Bros. franchise to "Super Mario" since before I was born. What the hell? And they say they want people to play together, as a family, yet they never make Mario games 2-player where one is Mario and one is Luigi. It MAKES ME ANGRY worse when this guy manhandled me during a flag football game because I stole some "coinage" from his jacket pocket.
