[Mael]

are you calling me a goalpost on wheels?

Not you, just your posts.

 

[Dion Blaster]

I didn't say it didn't qualify, I just said I don't pay attention to it.

ie, I didn't see it. ie, I haven't seen hype.

Oh my bad. It's certainly there! I feel like there are always two 3D World related threads on the front page.

 

[afoni]

Oh my bad. It's certainly there! I feel like there are always two 3D World related threads on the front page.

I've seen literally none outside of Nintendo based threads on GAF.

Already covered that base, man.

 

[Mael]

Why are people arguing with afoni?
He won't even take a dictionary definition as a valid definition.
At this point #Mario3DWorldGOTY could be trending WW on twitter for 2 month prior to launch he still wouldn't see the hype.

so... any place where people would be hyping the game doesn't count as hyping the game?

Language evolves over time, man. I'm sort of an expert.

A small niche hyping the game.

 

[Sir Alemeth]

how do you guys think this game will stack up in terms of sales?

What if this game sells more copies than WiiU's?

Like I'd take your word for it.
If we showed you how Mario 3D World is trending on Google Search you'd say that we shouldn't trust Google for some reasons.
You still haven't shown where you've looked and everything so we could verify your claims too.
Again why are people arguing with you on this, you made a claim that is basically impossible to refute on your term.
It's looking like it'd be easier to convince a priest that God doesn't exists.

 

[afoni]

calm down, friend

 

[Mael]

calm down, friend

tone isn't well conveyed on text but I can assure you that I'm more than calm (if a bit bored).
I'm more pissed at the current trend of people making a topic like it's news (Title : OMG IT'S GREAT A NEW ONLINE StarFox/ body: Wouldn't it be great?)

 

[javac]

It's number 47 on the Amazon.co.uk charts. 37 days in the top 100. To put that in perspective ALBW is number 15, 47 days in the top 100. It's not indicative of sales but I actually think it might be. This is the UK after all

 

[Rarity]

That pun in the title is glorious. 10/10

Agreed.

Embargo ends today? who's doing the review thread?

Embargo ends today? who's doing the review thread?

Can I volunteer?

 

[Deleted member 125677]

^^^ why not?

whoever does it, make sure you have time to update it

If I know when the embargo was up I'm keen to do it.

Only issue is I have a dentists appointment in an hour

Spoiler

You pretty much need certain powerups, like the Tanooki Suit, to get through that one.

I cannot talk about any specifics of course (anything this far in the game is under embargo until it released, but this is just wrong:

Spoiler

I did the final level as big Toad with a fire flower in reserve (which I dropped into a pit on my successful run ).

It's in 6 hours and 40 minutes if I have been informed correctly.

I have never been this excited for reviews.

 

[Heavy's Sandvich]

O, yeah I'm definitely on that then.

If no-one else minds, it would be an honour to do it.

 

[Sendou]

Me neither! Time to get furious about the first 8/10.

 

[BY2K]

6 and a half hour to embargo's end.

 

[Currygan]

6 and a half hour to embargo's end.

thank you, I was going to ask

damn I have to be across the city and back again but I should be here in time for the party

 

[Nosgoroth]

Oh boy. Nintendo Spain has launched a Twitter campaing where multiple (~10?) spanish websites and blogs have a contest in which you can win a Wii U Premium with NSMBU+LuigiU+SM3DW by tweeting at them with the hashtag #mirecuerdodeMario (#myMariomemory) and a message.

There's a ridiculous amount of twitter spam going on.

 

[Moxx19]

So when does the embargo end?

Spoiler

 

[Kamek Koopa]

This sounds crazy for post game stuff.

Spoiler

The very last world consists of three levels: one final Captain Toad level, one last original level and one last Challenge House.

Now, the Captain Toad level seems daunting at first, but like the five that came before it, it's a piece of piss.
Then there's the last original level, called Champion's Road, which is just hard as nails. A lot of the harder enemies, projectiles, disappearing blocks, etc. You pretty much need certain powerups, like the Tanooki Suit, to get through that one.

But then there's the Challenge House, holy shit. There are a few Challenge Houses scattered throughout the other worlds, and they aren't too hard. A Challenge House consists of a series of short challenges that you each have to clear within ten seconds. Most Challenge houses have three to five challenges and one had ten. That one was a ballbuster. But this final one... is a marathon run of all previous houses. Which means that you have to clear all THIRTY challenges in one go. After a few tries, I got up to challenge sixteen, but ran out of time. Proper palm-sweating stuff. Fuck.

Is that

Spoiler

the only unlockable world after beating Bowser

, or there are more?

Ign.it saya that is one of the best mario game ever.

Predictions:

"Gaming journalism is a joke!"
*Highly anticipated game on the horizon*
"Where are the reviews?!"
*Reviews of highly anticipated game come out*
"Wow, this game looks great! Awesome!"
*One reviewer, or a few, gives the game a relatively lower score*
"WHAT?! How could X give it a Y/10?! Outrage! Confirm my biases!"

 

[Deleted member 125677]

I LAIK TO SPOIL IT, SPOIL IT

Thanks for not understanding the purpose of spoiler tags

 

[plank]

This.

To them one AAA score for a Nintendo game is enough for one year.

 

[Kamek Koopa]

I'm sorry, I could never imagined that could be considered an spoiler itself. I assumed everybody knows there will be that kind of things.

But I'm changing it, sorry again

 

[gamergirly]

3 hours and 35 minutes until embargo ends hehe

 

[Kouichi]

I expect plenty of high scores and praise.

 

[D-e-f-]

I wonder how many reviews mention its poor initial reveal.

I wonder how Kohler will turn this review into a completely unrelated Nintendo business analysis.

So when does the embargo end?

If this post is a joke or parody of paranoid Nintendo fans it's funny.

If this post is serious it's even funnier.

Yeah, sorry.

What else?

So I'm going to have problems quickly picking up my order at Best Buy on Friday after work, aren't I? This is just now sinking in. Maybe I need to be there mid-afternoon or something so I'm back home in time for my friends to come over and play…

[zroid]

I see afoni is causing trouble again

 

[afoni]

Trouble? Me?

Never.

 

[Krabboss]

I am not a neogaf expert. Does afoni regularly say things which are incorrect and then ask people who they care so much when they correct him? Seems like an awful dude to me.

 

[Andrew.]

D'aw shit, review embargo today!
