like, look at Mario 64

"here's a letter from the princess"

"bowser tells you he fucked shit up"

then you go

 

[VeryGooster]

Mario's mouth freaks me out here

 

[formated4tv]

Can't watch the stream yet - Can someone TRY to break down Dan's crazy rules for the series?

which is when the problems with that game start

hey-oh

 

[Salarians]

should Mario characters talk?

 

[Incandenza]

the prison industrial complex is fucked

 

[Hoo-doo]

What the fuck is this game. Were they huffing paint writing this stuff.

 

[Karspankey]

we all know where mario got this tattoo

This is from the era of Nintendo where they treated everyone like an idiot with their tutorials. I feel like it stretches from Sunshine all the way to Skyward Sword.

 

[TheChits]

The Delfino music is so, so good.

You got $2 for the night
You put a quarter in the machine before you play
If you die, move the controller over
If you get the shine, turn the machine
Yellow is normal, blue means you can pick someone to put the next quarter in, red you have to swap your cup with someone elses
Side bets are encouraged

 

[Joeku]

How many hours until they figure out the over-the-shoulder shooting, do you bet?

 

[Incandenza]

Wind Waker also had an insanely long unskippable cutscene at the start I think.

It's part of the reason GameCube speedruns tend to be less fun to watch than N64 runs. In Mario 64 it's like 60 seconds to video game after a reset.

God, I forgot about the existence of this monstrosity.

 

[Dangansona]

This game is so good.

But it's not even like most of it is a tutorial

I can't remember if the game ever teaches you how to do it. If it doesn't, I bet they never figure it out.

red swaps your cup with another persons

no matter what

 

[The Technomancer]

who told dan he could do this

 

[TheMadMan007]

Seriously, anyone who thinks this game is even remotely good is wrong. It's not an oppinion, it's fact. This is a BAD game.

i'm usually pro ben

but boy he is terrible in this ff12 quick look

Interesting enough. Thanks

Vinny compared it to Cars. That's enough proof right there!

 

[ZeroCoin]

Awesome. More dumb rules. This must've been how Ben felt during his amazing time with Ora et Labora.

Sweet, updated it

I can only assume our lord and savior Jesus Christ

Seriously, anyone who thinks TheMadMan007 is even a remotely good poster is wrong. It's not an opinion with a double p, it's a fact. They are a BAD poster.

 

[kiguel182]

Mario is a game that definetly benefits from brevity. You want to get to the platforming as fast as possible since that's the best part.

Nope, don't be like GAF.

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

I mean, it's not for the Zelda games either. But they are laborious in their storytelling and "world building." They forgot to show, not tell.

How so? More of that Ballers stuff I've heard so much about?

 

[Karspankey]

i was unaware this fight could go on for more than 20 seconds

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Don't worry, they only need to do that boss three more times

 

[kiguel182]

What's the explanation for the blue Mario?

You can spoil this amazing story to me.

 

[Wunder]

Don't worry, they only need to do that boss three more times

thats a BOSS?

 

[imBask]

Don't worry, they only need to do that boss three more times

if it's fun once, it's fun 4 times!

 

[petethepanda]

The water in Sunshine is like food in Ghibli movies.

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

I love the GB duders, but they can be a bit slow picking up on a mechanic individually. With four people each having to learn the game, this is going to be... interesting.

 

[Joeku]

Spoiler

It's Baby Bowser (or Bowser Jr.) pretending to be Mario and wanting to get back Peach, who he believes is his mother. There's voice acting between him and Bowser later and it's weird.

I cannot imagine what Bowser voice acting sounds like. His regular VO is just ingrained into my head.

 

[KingKong]

ok so this game actually is bad

 

[Dangansona]

Oh man Abby.

 

[Glass Shark]

The problem with this metagame is that it's fairly hard to die in Sunshine, so there's going to be a LOT of waiting around.

 

[- J - D -]

I don't remember clearly but can't you chain together a running dive and water spraying to go faster in this?

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

Is there any chance they're using composite cables here? The quality isn't great, but I'm not sure if the GC component cables would help that much.

 

[VeryGooster]

When I think Bowser VO I think of that "Joisey" accented 'King Koopa' from Super Mario Bros. Super Show

 

[brainzelda]

Yup just alternate spray and jump-dive. Shit was so badass. I could cross whole levels without stopping using that technique.

 

[LiK]

ok so this game actually is bad

Thank you.

 

[oti]

This water mechanic looks awful.

 

[Fleet_of_Foot]

Wow I've never gone from excited to lukewarm on a feature faster than this. I had this game and I have semi-fond memories of it but watching it sucks. It sounds annoying, too.

 

[- J - D -]

Yes! So I'm remembering correctly. It was part of the reason I loved this game so much. You could get around really fast. I hope they figure it out but I doubt it.
