[MaddenNFL64]

Camelot rocks .

 

[Trevelyon]

It's due out on November 8th.

Halo wha..........? :lol

 

[Shompola]

wow I am actually amazed. The graphics are detailed and so vivid.

 

[CrisKre]

Wow at the character models in this game. Go camelot!

 

[SpoonyBard]

Damn, that looks good.

I'm so glad I'm saving up money for this Fall, as I also plan to get Halo 2, amongst much more.

 

[Ramirez]

Damn,that pwnz me.

 

[gofreak]

The mario and luigi models are crazy good. *Almost* like those CG models used in promo material.

 

[Prospero]

Speculation: does the glowing neon ring around the racket head indicate a power-up charge?

 

[Memles]

Another new Regular Tennis Shot. Woo.

Looks really quite great. Can't wait. Just want to know more before being prepared to Mikami for it; I don't want to change into older pants quite yet.

 

[Fatalah]

Looks great, although look at chomper! I'm sick of the n64 textures!

Super Mario Sunshine was an awesome game, its animation was great. But c'mon, howcome Nintendo isn't the cutting edge of graphics anymore? although, these shots really are great, its still just a tennis game!

They never were.

Nintendo was [b]never[/b] at the cutting edge of graphics.

Mario 64 and OoT were just two of the few competent looking console games at the time, so people interpreted that to mean Nintendo actually cares about leading the graphics race.

 

[Fatalah]

Nintendo touted games on the SNES, Yoshi's Island was beautiful for example. What about Donkey Kong Country? And then there's Super Mario 64, the first fully 3d game. I mean, graphics...cutting edge....Nintendo games are first and foremost fun--but they always were on top of their competition ya know?

 

[Kon Tiki]

"They never were."

SuperFX chip says you are wrong.

 

[SpoonyBard]

Sonic The Hedgehog games on MegaDrive looked way better than any Mario game at the time.

 

[SpoonyBard]

"They never were."

SuperFX chip says you are wrong.

Well, that's the exception that proves the rule. Still SuperFX games looked pretty primitive compared to home computer games at the time.

 

[aoi tsuki]

Looks great, but could someone tell me what's going on with the neon tennis racquets?

 

[etiolate]

Boo is Awesome. Awesome is Boo.

I want that racket.

 

[truesayian]

I love the graphics... this game looks great.

 

[Doogdogg]

Those balls could use a little fur shading.

 

[Deg]

more screens

pag 2 and 4 have afew more new ones!

 

[Mejilan]

A billion Boos, that multi-armed octopus from SMS. What kinds of crazy shit are going on? Can't wait!

 

[Deg]

 

[Deg]

 

[TheQueen'sOwn]

Man that looks good... :O

 

[Mejilan]

The raquet halos seem to be some kind of power bar. I imagine that when the halo wraps all the way around, you can unleash a super move, thereby depleting it. Cool.

 

[bheemer]

while not a standard tennis game, this looks like a ton of fun.

 

[Speevy]

When are we going to get another direct feed video of this game?

possibly quite soon! The game is playable to the public in the UK!

 

[Memles]

I want plenty of impressions from the UK trade shows. I just hope it's not just the German Demo thrown back out there; we saw that already. At least, we can hope someone plays some normal tennis and gets some on film.

You'll hear many impressions. RE4 was at ECTS apparently. Only one stand... ECTS is getting upstaged basicaly.

 

[Mama Smurf]

It's bound to be the demo they showed in Germany, there'd be no point in creating another one for events so close together.

 

[seismologist]

I love how they used 8-bit NES sprites for the crowd. Great art style.

 

[Mama Smurf]

...they don't look anything like 8-bit NES sprites to me. It would have been cool if they were, but I'm not seeing it.

 

[Memles]

Ditto.

I'm sure it will be the same demo...but why were there no really detailed impressions? IGN seemed to be focused on the Special Moves and new info only, but there was never a really detailed "I clicked on this, this mode seemed to be this" personal impressions. Hopefully, in the UK, we'll get some of that.

Same with Paper Mario.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it, more of the same, bla bla bla.

That means original MT review minus .5 - .7.

Out. Of. Your. Fucking. Mind.

 

[sc0la]

Boo is Awesome. Awesome is Boo.

I want that racket.

I am going to get some spray paint and paint my racket like that

 

[MrPing1000]

woah fantabulous

MINE!

 

[Deg]

I played the demo. It was quite good. I enjoyed it even if i couldnt figure out much . Only played multiplayer. looking forward to it.

 

[jarrod]

Nintendo was never at the cutting edge of graphics.

Super Mario Bros? Super Mario Bros 3? StarFox? Donkey Kong Country? Nice to see you explain away their N64 milestones as simply competent for the time though.

 

[Red Dolphin]

Um these graphics are the closest I have EVER seen to CG models. I almost can't believe the graphics can be this good!

I must pick up this game. Had fun with the 64 version but never bought it.

 

[gofreak]

I cannot believe someone started bitching about Nintendo graphics in a thread with screenshots like this.

 

[Memles]

Did anyone use the special moves in your time playing? If they did, did the animations interrupt play?

 

[Warm Machine]

Where are these so called amazing graphics? These looks like the same character models from Mario Golf TT. They are great colorful graphics obviously in the Mario style but hardly amazing.

Lucky git, asuming you figered out the special moves, what kind of impact had they on gameplay? Did they slow the game down etc...

Great minds think alike, sir.

This question is my only real apprehension about the game, I hope someone takes the time to address it.
