It's kiiiinda bullshit that they don't even include NSMB in the poll options.

What is that? A namco classic collection or something?

 

[skLaFarebear]

Hmmmm, I'm starting to wonder just how true their statement on their version of MM having a missing NSMBU really is....

 

[justjim89]

I've never really been that crazy about Mario World, though, I'll admit. Never owned a SNES and maybe played 45 minutes of it on Virtual Console. I grew up with Mario and Mario 3 and played the shit out of NSMB Wii. So I suppose I feel the same way about World as they do about NSMB.

It just means that their GOTY of 2015 is an incomplete game filled with anime smh

 

[derFeef]

Yeah, I too wanna see a Hitman feature with Brad and Dan. Maybe Breaking Bread Bald edition.

 

[Concrete Charlie]

There was something wrong with Dan's download of Super Mario Maker that the NSMB set was corrupted along with swimming levels.

Goomba pit is a go?

aesthetically, the 4 game styles go like SMB3 > SMB1 >>> SMW >>> NSMBU

but NSMBU also has the walljump, the triple jump and the shake hover thing, so it's a million times more interesting than SMW mechancially, so anyone

Spoiler

who isn't shallow as heck

should pick it over SMW every single time if you plan to use SMW mechanics

unless you wanna do a cape level, which everyone should definitely do more of

 

[Glitchesarecool]

It was almost kinda funny the first time they did that exact same joke?

Still funny. NSMB is a mistake.

 

[DrFunk]

Goomba pit is straight goon shit

 

[Zaph]

It's not GB's fault that NSMB looks like fan art by someone learning 3ds max. Can't blame anyone for not being able to get past that.

 

[skLaFarebear]

This is already the worst. Someone needs to stop Dan and Jeff before they completely destroy whatever's left of Patrick.

Cut to a year later, Dan is hocking wrestling memorabilia to support his amiibo addiction

Honestly, I'd say NSMB looks better than World, to me. So much of World just looks ugly, whereas there are lot of beautiful elements in the NSMB look, especially lava and fire levels. Even the Goombas look shitty in World.

And yeah, mechanically NSMB is way more interesting than the older games. You could do some fun stuff based around wall jumps and hovers.

 

[jaina]

is roys' boys related to the "my boy roy" smash meme or something else?

edit: I've been informed it's "roy's our boy", thank you very much

 

[Kimaka]

The Hitman QL is really selling me on the game. Sucks that there won't be a retail release until the end of this year.

[Megasoum]

I would take a NSMB level over Mario 1 lever ANYDAY.

You are super limited in what you can do in a Mario 1 level and there's stuff in NSMB that you can only do there and could make great dick move materials for those levels.

Yeah. I but on the bright side, it will debut during a slower period (Brad said January) and complete by then it will be complete.

Also, thank goodness Dan was there to talk Brad from just strangling people to death!

 

[mnz]

NSMB looks like a weird Mario clone from Europe. The Giana Sisters of our time.

To be clear, when I say aesthetically, I'm considering the music as well. SMW's soundtrack is incredible. Mind you, I think it does look a lot more distinctive to boot, even if it absolutely has a lot of ugly moments.

 

[Lunar FC]

There is no actual mario game that looks like the NSMB tile set right?

The intro pack being only $15 bucks kind of sold me on it. If I don't care for it, that sucks but at least I didn't buy in for $60.

There's a few.

In Mario Maker, NSMB level usually means "Wall Jump challenge #420,069" or "shitty level made by a literal child"

 

[Lunar FC]

Oh, I played the one for Wii once and don't remember it looks like total hot trash.

 

[Hot Coldman]

SMB1 levels look great, though. Plus, Mystery Mushrooms.

 

[Xeteh]

Yeah, I think its like 2 DS games, a Wii game and 2 Wii U games?

1 DS ,1 3ds, 1 Wii, 1 wiiu and dlc.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

I'm so confused how they don't know how to make a proper Z lol

Close enough! I was counting Luigi's game as a seperate entity.

Watching the Beast Coast crew play UNS4 makes me want to replay Asura's Wrath. AW is so goddamn good, and without the weird context of "it's a fighting/brawling game!". It just works.

One of my favourite games of all time. Probably top 20.

I mean, Naruto actually has a full story mode and like 10x the amount of characters SFV does

Well deserved!

I kept thinking of getting that but isn't the "true" ending hidden behind DLC? It kind of turned me off from it.

Yeah, it's one of the worst things of last gen. Unfortunately, the paid last act DLC is the best thing about the game. It's truly unfortunate but the end is so FUCKING GOOD. I genuinely feel bad about how much I like the (paid DLC) ending.

It is.

Yeah, it's like $7. I paid for it because I got the game for dirt cheap and it didn't bother me but I can see how it rubs some folks the wrong way

 

[Megasoum]

Where's the Roys Boys joke coming from?

 

[TraBuch]

I wish Asura's Wrath was 100% boss fights and QTEs. I really didn't like the beat 'em up parts.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

fixed it

I understand people just wanting to watch it, but those Panzer Dragoon sections are pretty fun and I love mashing those buttons myself. Could do without playing the regular combat though.

Similar situation. The DLC came out while I was renting it so it wasn't much of a total expense. I also got the "OVA after an anime season finishes" vibe from it, so it was ok for me.

Just something that someone in the chat suggested to put in and they just went with it.

I think..

What's up with Dan? Usually the mere thought of the crying souls playing his unfair level abominations feed his dark soul but today it seems like he's almost resenting his terrible creation.

Is he Frankenstein?
