Seems like this game is really going for eye-candy and ear-candy.

Like how the original mario bros have addicting noises like the coins and the jumping.

Listen to the squeaking noise while in the clear tube as well as the pop noise when you exit. Also listen to the pop sound when you jump on a goomba.

The cat suit will be a good pull, too.

I think itll be a hit.
 
Seeing that first level again and again with the gifs posted, I'm looking forward to the game fully accomplishing that bigger levels with the density of galaxy formula.
I don't know why 3d land progressively got less secrets like some of the first levels and well...the first level. When you begin 1-1, you find all those little paths everywhere, even discovered the little area in the sky coming from the first three giants primary colors blocks, long after having finished the game. That's maybe because after, the game focus clearly on obstacle courses on tiny paths, so less place to hide things.
So with the timer having at least 100s more and bigger levels with focus on verticality thanks to cat suit, all I hope is it can be more constant on that aspect.

Why not let people use the analog stick to pan the camera, instead of having people tilt their controller around awkwardly? I would probably only use it to find secrets the way it is implemented now, not to keep the camera behind my character and make the game play more like the other marios.

Edit: Besides, clearly the level design here is built for the zoomed out, isometric camera. Whether you like that or not (and I'm not sure I do) you might as well play the game as intended.

You've already been corrected on the joystick part. But I don't think the isometric part is true, it just seems to zoom out as players move farther apart. In the single player footage I've seen it's not nearly as zoomed out
 
That glass pipe level goes embody the Galaxy ethos fairly nicely. Seems like something of a halfway house between 3D Land and Galaxy.

Looks a lot of fun, although I was hoping for an evolution of Galaxy, not a bridge between it and 3D Land.

People keep asking this, and I have to ask: are there any precision platformers that have online co-op? Did the PS3 and 360 versions of Rayman have online? My knowledge of the PC scene is pretty good and I don't think I know of any there. I've heard good arguments put forth about how even minor lag is a much larger problem in platformers than it is in other genres, and they sound reasonable, but I don't actually know if there's a dev that has disproven them.

Yeah, The Fancy Pants Adventures on XBLA and PSN. It uses a rollback system, just like fighting games. Bad connections can stutter the game up, but four players with decent online works flawlessly.
 
I consider 1-1 in Super Mario 3D Land to be a work of art. (The link is to my thread on the subject)

1-1 in 3D Land was essentially a playground, brimming with interactive bits and bobs, and PACKED with secrets. To me, it stands as one of the finest introductions to a game ever.

What's great about 3D World is I see multiple levels on display here echoing the design ethos of 3D Land's first level, with secrets packed into every nook and cranny, lots of unique traversal opportunities, and just loads of stuff to run over, leap on and off, etc. The clear tubes, the rolling wheels, the climbable blocks, the invisible blocks found with the GamePad, etc. It just looks exquisitely interactive, practically begging the player to come at it from every angle -- above and beyond the edge of the screen here, over this block and behind this wall there. I love it.

Also, I lost my shit nerding out over the return of Charging Chuck. Yes. Yes! YES!!
 
Chargin' Chuck being in this makes this the best 3D Mario title by default, if the return of SMB2-style character select didn't already.

This is so much more controllable with a single player.

I saw this video earlier, and I agree. It certainly looks more fun, and more like a real Mario platformer, than it does when there are 4 people jumping around simultaneously. Definitely gives me some hope that I might end up loving this despite my doubts.
 
The 8-way movement doesn't help your accuracy when firing fireballs but otherwise the game looks fun. After my initial disappointment and now acceptance that this is the new mario 3d mario game I'm now looking forward to it, the sheer nintendo charm of it has won my dark gamers heart over.

I thought the game might suck in single player, but it looks like I was wrong. Thank god they don't force you to play as Mario in single player. Each character having their own little quirks should make the gameplay fresher than the NSMB games.

Honestly, I think I'm sold on a Wii U. I was so underwhelmed by the Nintendo Direct, but seeing all of those same games in action (mainly through cam recorded videos) has completely changed my opinion. The trailers didn't do any of the games justice.

I'm just waiting for a price drop at this point, and my backlog to clear up.
 
I stopped caring about Non-RPG mario games a long time ago, but Multiplayer 3D Mario is something I have always wanted since 64.

Might actually get.
 
Something about this game -- and Mario Kart 8, too -- gives me a really strong arcade vibe. I think it's the solid, colorful environments, smooth 60 fps action, and that wild kind of multiplayer where wacky stuff is always happening. I love it. I feel like if the arcades of the 80s had survived, I'd be able to walk into one today and see something like Peach, Toad, Mario, and Luigi running around crazy like this.
 
I'm glad the tides are turning in favor of this game. Nintendo did a terrible job of unveiling it but their extra videos and the single-player demos show how great it will most likely turn out.

It was just a matter of expectations. They said '3D Mario', and people weren't expecting it to be this which is completely understandable. If they'd just unveiled this without teasing it, I think the reaction would have been overwhelmingly positive.

I'm psyched though, always was. This is my Galaxy 2. 3D Land remains my favorite 3D Mario.
 
Exactly. This isn't a gaming spectacle or anything but I knew from the start that 4-player Mario just... works. It looks fun as hell and I know it's gonna be a blast to play with people. It certainly helps that you can join in at any time, too. This just looks great.
 
That single-player mode looks phenomenal. I was worried the levels would be small like 3D Land, but it doesn't appear to be so.
 
So what's the likely story here? How come Peach didn't get kidnapped? Where's Yellow Toad?

Is the Red Toad the same Toad that's always Toad in Mario Kart, or is it a different Red Toad, since there seem to be so many Red Toads?

Is this the same Blue Toad from Super Mario Bros. 2? The same Blue Toad from NSMBWii? NSMBU?
