It all makes sense now. I'm gonna need to sit down for a moment.

Probably a Galaxy stage, which is good. It will be nice to see a reminder on the Wii U that visual design of Mario platformers were, at one time, more than this.

And we'll get Galaxy music along with it instead of the bland NSMB nonsense they've shown so far in Super Mario 3D World. Hallelujah.

Something funny?

 

[Hello.]

I'm really glad that it's a Galaxy stage, one of the best games ever. I'm expecting some bland New Super Mario Bros. stage eventually. Amazing how much Sakurai can tease in just a few amount of words.

Buoy Base, Purple Coins and Good Egg Galaxy would be my perfect music selection for the stage.

I'm really curious about other aspects of the stage, like obstacles. Most of the stages we've seen so far aren't as crazy as... New Pork City, for instance.

 

[DaBoss]

Something funny?

Yes.

The visual design in 3D Land and 3D World are similar to that of the Galaxy games. Especially the color tone and lighting.

And the soundtrack doesn't sound anything like NSMB. 3D Land didn't have NSMB music, so why would 3D World get it.

 

[Mark1]

Definitely feel more confident in Sonic's return after reading this old article:

"I think Snake and Sonic joining were fantastic. It made many fans happy, and it broadened the Smash Bros arena," he said. "However, introducing more non-Nintendo characters willy-nilly will lose the focus of the game, so I also recognise the need to narrow it down."

Not completely convinced but reading this and that Iizuka comment after E3 makes me feel more relieved.

Can we not start anything, please?

 

[astarisborn94]

I'd love to fight while listening to Battlerock Galaxy. Always thought it was a perfect theme if you ask me.

 

[Green Mamba]

Very well. Just know that I scoff at the idea that 3D Land's music is anywhere close to touching the Galaxy games'.

Lol, it all makes sense now.


As for the bolded, the entire concept of SSE would not of worked with the cannon fodder enemies featured in stuff like Donkey Kong, Mario, and Kirby.
The reason there were original enemies was for combat variety. Half the enemies in Nintendo's games could be taken out with either a short hop on the head or a fireball.
They wouldn't of worked well with the concept Sakurai was going for, which was basically the best he could of done with the Adventure concept.

Buttttt.... he should of gone with environments from actual Nintendo games. I'll admit that was a misstep.

I'm fine with people expressing opinions, I just don't want another fight to break out in the thread. (because it looked like that's what's going to happen) And we honestly had enough of that.

Ironically, 3D Land has a Galaxy song. lol

(I like music from all 3 series though... yes, that means NSMB and its BAH BAHs. But yeah Galaxy has the best OST by far)

 

[BGBW]

I like 3D Land's theme.


Also they'll include an arrangement to reflect Mario on Wii so it'll be Good Egg Galaxy from Galaxy with the Wahs from NSMBW.

We could act like adults have a debate about the merits of video game music.

[Mariolee]

I have been waiting for so long for a Galaxy stage. Expected one in Brawl, but now I have hope for SSB4. If they don't do something with gravity mechanics, they will have squandered all potential for this stage.

I've actually grown fond of the "wah" from the older NSMB music. I'd more music from the first two actually.

Not to say that Galaxy's music isn't infinitely better.

 

[NeonZ]

Eh, I really disagree. You're basically only looking at the enemies from platformers. Yeah, they're kind of similar to each other, Waddle dee would be basically a reskinned Goomba, but games in different genres like Zelda, Metroid, Earthbound, etc could give all the variety lacking from platformer enemies.

We need a Bowser's Castle stage with the Castle music from NSMBWii. That one rocked.

 

[Troubled Bat]

How are you guys not believing that its a Mario Galaxy stage?! Its obvious, and the sky is nothing like the Battlefield at night. >.<

actually we inadvertently changed it to Wednesday, lol. Because I'm stupid and mixed up the days. >__>

Wednesday is my day.

Where does GAF always get these character reveal rumours from?

I still want to believe, however.

It was from me, just to get people talking. I still believe something will be shown.

Some guy said "There'll be one on Wednesday" for a joke, then everyone sort of ran with it because there's very little else to do.

Why do you assume i'm a guy? That's sexist!

 

[Green Mamba]

Nah, the best NSMB Castle music is the one from the original NSMB. Always bugged me that they kept reusing the inferior NSMBWii one.

Hey, that means Drago and I will get our revenge on the same day.

(Even though Zeer0id wasn't the one who gave me that horrible avatar, but he along with a lot of you mocked me! You all shall pay... one by one...!)


This is actually the first time I don't want a character reveal lol

I always assume everyone is genderless, unless its obvious

 

[MrSaturn99]

How bout a stage that takes you through the universe showcasing all the galaxies?

This wouldn't be half-bad, either, but I'd rather they make a stage that could take advantage of the properties of certain galaxies rather than a scenic tour.

Granted, they've gone with a pattern of using the hub worlds (Peach's Castle/Defino Plaza) for the Mario stages, so I wouldn't be surprised if they went that scenic route with the Comet Observatory.

Either way, it'd still be awesome because it's Galaxy and it'll have Galaxy music and be in HD and zomg.

 

[BGBW]

But will it have the older Mario space music?

No I am saying we could. You were correct, I am offering that as an ultimatum to what was going on at the moment.

Sorry if I sound silly.

Anyways Smash bros related thing. How fast do you think the community will be able to mod this thing?

It depends whether the Wii U gets hacked by then. But Nintendo has gotten smart about protecting their systems ever since the DSi... Hmmm

I don't think we will have mods community for ssb4. I'm sure that sakurai will try harder to prevent that.

 

[Berordn]

I don't think we will have mods community for ssb4. I'm sure that sakurai will try harder to pervent that.

I don't think it's Sakurai's call or intention to block them. It happened on Wii because the system itself was cracked wide open early, not because of anything exclusive to Brawl (though having an easy exploit on Brawl certainly helped the community).

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

SO the rumour from yesterday is already debunked?

The SMG level was that bee galaxy in the rumor and this doesn't look like it... even though all we see is the sky lol

Bingo.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Really hard to tell. Like, I'm not giving credence to the rumor, but the trademark lighting style of Galaxy and the sky are the only two things we can see in this pic, which were present in every part of Galaxy. So... yknow.

 

[Shadow Hog]

Let's put it this way: the bee galaxy had a bright blue daytime sky for the upper half of the skybox.

I kkinda hope they mess up. I know piracy is bad, but I just like modding games.

Shit, so it did. Still, could be a "moving through galaxies" deal.

sakurai can easily just change the skybox to more represent a all-encompassing mario galaxy theme

but the rumor was that it's just beehive galaxy or something, right? or did it say there were other galaxies present?

 

[SuperSah]

Regarding today's screenshot, would this be possible on the 3DS version? Or is it just a fancy artstyle?

 

[Berordn]

It's a shader effect. The 3DS can actually support that kind of edge lighting.

Sweet. Suck it, Honeyhive!

I really hope we get a direct soon :/

 

[foxuzamaki]

yes the 3DS can easily do this, it wouldnt look as good though, its basically the effect in mario galaxy 1 and 2, and somewhat in 3D land

By soon you mean Thursday and not Wednesday... right? <

(If there's a Direct soon, I doubt it would be Smash-centric, they never do game-centric Directs unless the game is coming out soon)

Always the Thursdayton. Always.
