I'm not from the US but this is said to be running until April 30th? (its on the bottom right) for $39.99, is that a good price for the US? It Target.

Uh, that Target ad is next weeks and is only good for one week. $39.99 is MSRP here.

Kotaku (Totilo) put up a lengthy feature about the development of LM2

haven't read it yet, but seems to be good

I imagine there will be some interesting morsels, so if anyone wants to make a thread with quotes, I would encourage it. I'm a little pre-occupied atm.

Oh, nice; well it was a good read!

So apparently Scarescraper is called Thrill Tower in Europe.

Oh well, at least we have the lovely glowing cover.

Okay, the needless changing of name is getting on my tits now. That doesn't even need to be changed! Is NoE's localisation head allergic to puns?!

Just want to know if posting the number of mansions would be a spoiler. I'm pretty sure it isn't. I won't put the name of the 5th mansion though, just a silhouette.

Thanks for pointing that out.

If there are 5, then yeah that's pretty common knowledge. Say there were any "extra" mansions, as per 3D Land's Special worlds, then yeah big spoiler.

OK, I only knew 5, and the last one's name is a spoiler I guess, so I won't put it's name.

No glowing cover for NA, according to Rich.

It's just what NoE do. It's not even like they come up with better names, they are always worse or needlessly literal.

'Thrill Tower' sucks.

It's exactly that. "Pullblox". WOW NoE. How long did that take?!

Sounds like a good idea! Looking forward to the OT. Will be nice to finally have a more centralised discussion area.

Hopefully we'll get some online games going with fellow GAF members, too.

Nintendo 1st party games don't really drop in price significantly do they?

I won't be getting around to playing this for months anyway, but if it's all the same costwise i might as well get it now for the glow in the dark cover right?

 

[Murrah]

The Walmart I work at put up a pretty cool display for the game tonight. Didn't really think it was picture worthy, but it looked good and is putting my hype levels at maximum

I don't know what you're smoking, but I recall stars being bigger than skies.

 

[grimshawish]

NoE are selling to multiple countries and languages and want to centralise everything behind a single name. I suspect this has a larger effect on the title name than anything else.

Closer to the Japanese title, therefore better.

Most likely. Most non-English speakers are still familiar with the word "tower" while "skyscraper" is way more obscure.

I suppose whacking a big "2" on the end of the game's title is easy, but is translating "Dark Moon" really that much trouble? I do wish the UK didn't just keep getting treated as an anomalous piece of Europe.

 

[Sp3eD]

I want to know what people think of the banner.

Also, what should the OT subtitle be? I'm thinking, "#YearofLuigi Part 1" (or Year of Luigi Part 1).

I would take the right luigi away and replace it with a frightened toad.

REEEEEEEEEEGGGGGGGGGGIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

[Artemisia]

I agree. I think it looks a bit awkward with two identical Luigis.

A toad would be a good idea for a replacement, or maybe just getting rid of one of the Luigis altogether.

I still believe it should be one of the alternate colour Luigis, since that's representative of the game itself. But eh, that might be difficult to accomplish, considering the green Luigi in that pose is an existing asset -- the others are not.

Surely someone with Photoshop skillz could attempt? Might have a go myself.

Here's a decent PR pic of the 4 Luigi's;

Yea, I'll just remove the Luigi on the left.

Not that hard to do actually (though my eyedropper tool is being stupid), but I'm using it for the headers.

I just love how all the official art looks like claymation. So much.

Nintendo has really put a huge focus on 'textures' of these things in the last few years.
Looks great.

Same. I've seen a few people knock the style, but hopefully they play around with the style in an actual game in the future.

It looks great but it would be cool if one side on the banner would be Luigi like displayed and one side the professor or a toad. but that is my opinion.

 

[DaBoss]

Left Luigi would look a bit weird since it would be next to the border of the post.

And now...PINKCENZO!!! (color is a bit wrong)

The others are going to be there too.

 

[zroid]

Nice! When are you gonna post it? Tomorrow?

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

Stellar work there DB. I can only hope the multiplayer is as good as Kid Icarus's. Judging from the recent Kotaku interview where apparently Miyamato wouldn't allow it to be included unless it was "more fun than Mario Kart", so that's pretty reassuring. From what I read it sounded like a horde mode Ghostbusters, so that's... awesome. Plus the inclusion of download play is just a massive bonus.

 

[ngower]

Gotta be honest: I initially purchased this game just for the SM3DL free game, but the closer it comes the more excited I am to play it. The art direction just looks fantastic.

It looks perfect now!

I love the border in the heading banners too.

Still can't get over the fact they made a sequel to a cult Gamecube launch title. Amazing.
