It's a village/hub type deal???
I'm talking atmosphere, not gameplay in a section that doesn't look like it's the focus at all.

I agree, the mexican village looks like either a mini hub or an unfinished area. The other part is actually a mario level
I'm still curious about that floating heart

Well form the analysis from ragnarokx and gamexplain, it seems that the second area is a extension of the mexican village. Can't wait to see more of this game

That doesn't seem to be doing anything new.
I hope the rest is bonkers with creativity like Galaxy or even Sunshine.

I'm expecting a teaser for monolith's and a trailer for Retro's. I cannot wait. I'm going to watch it in the car before work and be so overstimulated when I get in there with nobody to talk about it to
I don't expect either.
Unless it's the X port.

It's in the same vein of 'popular third party title that previously couldn't be conceived of as being portable' as Skyrim. It also has the benefits of A) Not being an especially demanding game - minimum spec is a GTX 460 - and B) Being bright and colourful, and so people kinda feel it would fit well among Nintendo's other offerings. It's pure speculation of course, and I doubt it happening any time soon, mainly because Nintendo's listed third parties has Activision on it, not Activision Blizzard or Blizzard Entertainment. That's more Call of Duty, Guitar Hero, and maybe Skylanders, rather than Overwatch or Diablo.

Things that make me happy in this small snippet of the game:
- Mexican village
- floating heart
- Triple jump is back
- Mario opening his arms after long jump

Just noticed it. This is adorable.

DQX in 3DS isn't the best example of why an always online game should release on a portable device.

That five second Mario clip was the best video game-related footage I saw last year. Cannot wait to see more.
It may be a huge stretch, but I think this may indicate that momentum plays a big role in this game. Think back to the SMB3 speed meter. Actually now that I think about it, Mario opens his arms in that game as well.

What makes me nervous is that he's walking in a straight line in both segments with walls on each side.
Auto runner confirmed.

No, this would conflict with the official name, which is Mario Mexico

Really? You don't think we'll say anything of Retros game or Monolith?
Retro has been in the dark for 3 years now.

THIS FUCKING COMPANY SMH
It does look quite beautiful when you look at it like that.

One E3 I was 99% sure Retro would show what they were working on as they had been quiet for so long.
They were a no-show.
I'll never make that mistake again.
If they are even mentioned, my bladder will do backflips.

Another detail that i forgot to mention: HIS HAT WIGGLES A BIT FOR EVERY ACTION
There is E3 for Retro

I think Kart 8 showed us that the attention to detail is going to be on point from Nintendo nowadays.

I see E3 to fully reveal Retros game for people to play, but all of Nintendos chips are in the Switch and it's a worldwide presentation- something of Retros game should be there.
Bladder doing backflips and ovulating as a man lol! There's something wrong with your body.
I don't think it's ready
Nice cherrypicking, too.

At least someone likel Keighley will ask Reggie about Retro and he will say they are working on a fantastic new project.

That is a decision for Blizzard to decide.

I am ready for Retro's game, but i understand if it's not shown thursday. Do you guys think that we will see some kind of teaser for sakurai's next project? Will he revive an old IP or create a new one? also, i am just kidding, but what if....

You mean Sakurai's F-Zero Heroes???

Don't forget Reggie will be wearing a Cranky Kong pin 😁
I'd really love a new Kid Icarus. It's been 5 years since Uprising, so I hope we'd get one in 2018.I am ready for Retro's game, but i understand if it's not shown thursday.

Maybe they will make a sidegame starring Cranky.
Think Captain Toad but Cranky in a nursing home looking for his colostomy bags.
I promise I'm done.

And you purposely pick a picture of arguably the single ugliest, flattest section in the entire game to demonstrate your point? Go you!
Here, let me pick the prettiest one to even things out:
This will be a very long week.
I remember those days between October 17th and 20th. Those were horrible as well because of rumors and our feelings of the imminent Switch reveal.
I feel the same way again: nervous, ultrahyped,... The difference is that this time we know the exact date and time.

do you think that a small 2 sec long snip of galaxy or sunshine taken excluding the gimmick (splac/gravity) would "do something new"?

I hope this game has the freedom of mario 64 going for it.

Currently polling second in Australia's federal election (first in the Gold Coast), this feral may one day be your Bogan King.
I want Mario to be on the same wavelength as Galaxy and Galaxy 2, fully utilising 3D space and unique gravity based platforming physics. It's 3D Mario at its absolute best as far as I'm concerned. But it won't happen. I think Nintendo is done with Galaxy as a series and after Galaxy 2, aka gold standard of all 3D platfomers ever, I can't blame them for wanting to try something new.
It doesn't look like 3D World which is great to me. I liked 3D World but that's just it; I liked it, not loved it. Its excessively rigid perspective and play space design felt like a massive step backwards from the 3D Mario identity no matter how fun it was, acting as a hybrid of 2D and 3D Mario conventions.
I like Mario 64 too but I'm not overly big on the HUGE OPEN HUB IS BEST YOU GUYS philosophy some seem to cherish. I can see the appeal, but to me it's just wasted space, something Galaxy/Galaxy 2 did a far better job of pacing and balancing.
We'll see.

The new mario has also a huge field to walk around, that's the only reason why i picked that image. Because it's the only huge field in the game that i can remember.
I think you missed my point.

Man, it pretty much looks to be exactly the kind of platformer I enjoy! Can't wait, only 63 hours to go!
