There's a video that was posted on a site the Go to for Nintendo news last night. It showed off the game being controlled with the original Classic Controller.

So who told us the OG CC didn't work? I knew that didn't make a lick of sense, as I'm positive they are functionally identical. The only difference is the removal of analogue triggers in the CC Pro. But that would only lead to less compatibility, not more.

See, that nonsense happens when people can't get their terminology straight.

THIS is an Original Wii Classic Controller. This (supposedly) does not work with Super Mario 3D World.

THIS is a Wii Classic Controller Pro. This is NOT an original CC. This DOES work with Super Mario 3D World.

For completion's sake:

This is a Wii U Pro Controller. This does also work with Super Mario 3D World.

This is the Tweet in question:

It clearly shows a Wii Classic Controller Pro being used. Not an Original Wii Classic Controller.

He's back

This guy is not very good.

 

[Coolwhip]

Yep. Just go to the map menu and select the first world. You don't need to go to the pipes (there aren't visual pipes... for now, anyway).


Testing abload...

This screenshot is making me holding off my Wii U purchase very tough.

 

[TnK]

This stage is cool.

How does one unlock the secret character?

 

[Zen]

3D World looks so good.

Spoiler

as I understand it, you simply have to "beat the game" once -- as in, see the credits

 

[ffdgh]

Sold out on Amazon.ca? Dang.

Really? Surely they wouldn't understock this of all games >_>.

 

[Deleted member 125677]

Is there going to be a demo of this?

Maybe later on? We just got a demo for Sonic iirc

 

[Outtrigger888]

I agree. Its actually one of my favorite level design in a mario game. It may look simple, but I just love the art direction.

You unlock the 5th character

Spoiler

after you beat the game

We got Mario and Zelda on Friday, as well as an hour long GT Tv Nintendo episode showing new footage of DK. Going to be a good day.

There will never be a demo. That should be crystal clear. It's a Mario game. You know how it plays. This is the very last video game ever that would need a demo.

Hope retail copies don't go quickly. I remember Pikmin 3 sold out at the store I went to pick it up (I grabbed the last copy). Under-shipping or highly popular? Combination of the two?

 

[cyberheater]

3D World looks so good.

Yes. Yes it does. Almost has the cartoony cgi quality to it.

Who? Is it Reggie playing in his PJ's?

The music, wow. And the animations are so awesome. Mario looks at his surroundings all the time.

 

[Spiderduff]

Just checked my DDP to see if i had $5 or $10 off. Guess I spent a lot since I got $20 credit! So happy. Cannot wait to play this.

 

[trixx]

ok now i know why they made the invicibility suit

 

[Timeaisis]

Amazon is probably kicking itself for under-stocking this game, considering it's #1 in the US right now.

 

[Exile20]

Super Mario 3D World is #2 in Japan on Amazon.jp.

 

[Broken Hope]

This player is so bad, how hard is it to kick a football..

 

[trixx]

This player is so bad, how hard is it to kick a football..

he got invincibility suit now, no worries. OH WOW

 

[Krabboss]

ok now i know why they made the invicibility suit

Haha, and now he's using it. Gee whiz, this guy.

Edit: And then he jumps off the stage while invincible. What?

 

[Broken Hope]

Still died..

 

[kaskade]

Man, this game is gorgeous. I haven't been following it because I don't have a Wii U but with this and Wind Waker HD I'm really tempted.

 

[TnK]

Thanks for the info guys.

 

[Tucah]

I am so goddamn close to buying a Wii U for this game.

 

[Riki]

Do eet. Do eet now.

 

[Blades64]

Do it...give innnn...

 

[ViewtifulJC]

I prescribe to the law that every person who gets the game early and streams, SUCKS at the game. Not just kinda bad at the game, I mean "holy shit I'm completely incompetent at video games" bad. This goes all the way back to watching that RE5 stream where they got took TWO HOURS to beat the final boss. This guy is just another log of that fire.

 

[Krabboss]

Okay, got a jump coming up... better walk instead of running. Woops!

 

[RagnarokX]

This player is so bad, how hard is it to kick a football..

Yesterday he was doing a castle level. He got to a part where the camera stopped moving right when he went right and there was a big sign with a bright red arrow pointing up with blocks forming a staircase and a huge bottomless pit to the right with nothing indicating any reason to keep going right. He jumped to his death.

Another theory is:

You aren't as good at it as you think you are.

 

[ActStriker]

Probably wanted to do it without the invincibility

 

[Buckethead]

Those screens look great.

Does Cat Mario's tail move when he's not moving?

It wouldn't make a lick of sense but it would be cute.

Indistinguishable background melodies is exactly how I would describe the SMG1 soundtrack, for the most part.

@NeoGAFShitPosts

 

[Azure J]

Isn't that the weirdest thing though Viewtiful? Although this guy playing the Bowser level is entertaining. (That suicide to lose what amounted to god mode was commendable.)

 

[Krabboss]

Probably wanted to do it without the invincibility

That's optimistic of him.

@NeoGAFShitPosts

It's a good soundtrack, but it's not exactly full of strong, hummable melodies. It's no Super Mario Kart soundtrack.

 

[Downhome]

Wow, I have 1,423 points that I have never cashed in and used. That is what, almost $15 right?

Everyone, add me as well. Same name as here...

[Hodders]

Do we know how much this is going to be on the Eshop here in the UK?

I've been on the Nintendo.co.uk eshop section but couldn't even see it listed on there (unless I'm blind!)

Maybe try Cheesemeister's stream? http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/40939000

I'm not watching the stream to avoid spoilers, but if the commentary on GAF is any indication, this guy is even worse than me at platformers. And that's coming from the guy who died an embarrassing number of times on NSMBU.

 

[Kard8p3]

At this point he should probably give up that dream.

RRP seems to be £49.99 so I'd guess that.

I can't see it being cheaper than Nintendo's own store.

Its like watching your little sister play Super Mario Bros and she doesn't hold the run button and still falls to her death over and over.

People who don't know to Always Be Running when playing Mario games shouldn't be playing video games.

 

[EloquentM]

No they're pretty bad in general.

 

[sfedai0]

So the only other Mario games on the Wii U is NSMB NSLU right?
