Thats some Sonic CD artwork level stuff in action.

Oh God, you're right. The last scene in the animated ending with the rushing Stardust Speedway and Metal Sonic v Sonic in that amusement park setting...

Fuck I need this game even more.

 

[Linkhero1]

I still can't believe I'm going to have this game on Friday but not play it.

Fucking Zelda man.

I'm going to multitask. That's right, I'm going to play Zelda while playing Mario while posting on GAF.

 

[Scum]

:O

 

[TheSpaceBetween]

You know whats really going to be insane? Rainbow Road 8.

With antigravity F-zero tech going, I just cant even imagine...probably will be traveling through wormholes or something.

They already had antigravity in Rainbow Road DS .

 

[llamarawk]

This may be overkill but I'm thinking two save files for me, one for solo and one for multiplayer.

 

[BY2K]

:O

 

[Shinta]

:O

 

[Mailenstein]

The OST just got released on the japanese Club Nintendo one. They have a campaign going for the OST, 250 instead of 500 points. Get it while it's available! I got mine already .

 

[Lijik]

Got my preorder paid off today, tomorrow is going to be so long

 

[Linkhero1]

My gamestop is letting me pick this and zelda up midnight during the Xbone launch. I'm not getting the Xbone but I will come to pick these up haha.

 

[NMFried]

Oh man. I hope I can beat Wind Waker before friday.

 

[BY2K]

With what I was told by a GameStop employee, I really need to bring a camera, take pictures and compare who's gonna be there actually for an Xbox One and who's gonna be there for Zelda and/or Mario.

I might do this but I don't think many people know that they can pick up both Zelda and Mario at midnight.

 

[Neiteio]

:O

Cue the music

I gotta check my store and see if they'll allow me to do that too!

 

[Scum]

It's absolutely beautiful to see so much colour. O.O

 

[Neiteio]

It's absolutely beautiful to see so much colour. O.O

After playing so many games on my PS3 and PC, I thought I'd seen everything HD had to offer.

Then Nintendo entered the HD era and reinvented color.

 

[EatChildren]

I don't get what's special about the image.

 

[hippobloated]

This is pretty much my dream Mario game.

 

[Neiteio]

I don't get what's special about the image.

don't ya wanna lick it :-\

 

[DanteGhost]

:O

Wow, that looks gorgeous!!

 

[Shinta]

I don't get what's special about the image.

Ice world
Snow level
Ice haunted house

The snow levels are always some of my favorites, dating back to Mario 64.

 

[Linkhero1]

I don't get what's special about the image.

There's land, water, colors, and mario. If that's not special to you then I don't know what is.

 

[EatChildren]

Oh.

 

[Neiteio]

Best levels are always Bowser's Castle. So far I've seen the new aqueduct-on-the-sea-at-sunset level with Bowser in the car, but I wonder if we'll still get lava-filled castles.

 

[Linkhero1]

I agree. I don't think there's a single Mario game where I disliked Bowser's Castle. They're all great. We'll probably get lava-filled castles near the end of the game for sure.

 

[Dukey]

I don't get what's special about the image.

I was going to ask this same thing. Looks bland. Was thinking maybe I was missing a reference to something.

 

[Shinta]

We haven't seen a single image of HD snow from Nintendo. Now we know its in the game. Shows 7 worlds just in this image for the ice world.

 

[Currygan]

I don't get what's special about the image.

there's nothing objectively special about it, but everything is intrinsically special when it comes to SM3DW

Bowser's Castle is also the place where the best Mario Kart courses are set.

[EatChildren]

I probably didn't consider snow to be a big deal considering Mario has been recycling the same environment ideas forever and just naturally expected snow.

 

[zroid]

That world just looks really shiny

It's purrdy :3

 

[Neiteio]

I probably didn't consider snow to be a big deal considering Mario has been recycling the same environment ideas forever and just naturally expected snow.

yeah well this snow world is clearly made with love while the snow world in NSMBU was made by child laborers in a coal mine

The locals say you can see Koizumi's smile refracting in the ice. <3

 

[Caladrius]

I was going to ask this same thing. Looks bland. Was thinking maybe I was missing a reference to something.

I don't think we've seen an Ice-Themed ghost house before. And it looks like it might be an actual polar area instead of just a Boreal Forest like it's traditionally been.

 

[EatChildren]

This is probably true.

EDIT: Am I the only one who fucking hates Ghost Houses?

 

[Dukey]

#truthfact

I won't argue with that. Those have always been my favorites too.

 

[zroid]

EDIT: Am I the only one who fucking hates Ghost Houses?

No

Spoiler

But you're all a bad breed

 

[Neiteio]

GHOST HOUSES ARE 2 SPOOKY 4 ME

(they also murder all momentum/pacing in NSMBU if you play them in multiplayer)

 

[TrAcEr_x90]

So close to buying a Wii U for this game....so close. I just wish the system was cheaper.

Craigslist. Got mine for 300! Came with 5 games and a few extra controllers. Played the games a bit and beat nsmbu then sent them all to amazon and that paid for my super Mario 3d world!

 

[Shinta]

EDIT: Am I the only one who fucking hates Ghost Houses?

They scare me a bit. I'm always afraid I won't be able to find my way out ...

But the fear is good.

 

[Penguin]

This is probably true.

EDIT: Am I the only one who fucking hates Ghost Houses?

I don't hate em, but can be my least favorite part of the games.

I think one area that 64 did well. Actually liked that one

 

[Neiteio]

The ghost house in Super Mario 64 was some grade-A gaming titty, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Who could forget the barking piano, the flying books or the eyeball in the shed?

 

[Cooter]

This is probably true.

EDIT: Am I the only one who fucking hates Ghost Houses?

No. My least favorite part of every Mario game.

 

[RagnarokX]

I probably didn't consider snow to be a big deal considering Mario has been recycling the same environment ideas forever and just naturally expected snow.

I don't get it either. It looks nice but not omg amazing. Plus I made this a month ago:

Ice world
Snow level
Ice haunted house

The snow levels are always some of my favorites, dating back to Mario 64.

Also, that's not an ice haunted house. World themes have little to do with the content of the levels. That is Shifty Boo Mansion, which has no ice or snow to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN_dWUzP3fo

 

[Linkhero1]

This is probably true.

EDIT: Am I the only one who fucking hates Ghost Houses?

I don't like them except in SMW and Mario Kart games so you're not alone.

 

[Lumyst]

Doesn't this game take place in the "Sprixie Kingdom"? So I'm looking forward to more locations like those places covered in cherry-blossom leaves

 

[Jaded Alyx]

This is probably true.

EDIT: Am I the only one who fucking hates Ghost Houses?

No. I didn't mind them so much in SMW, but the ones in the NSMB series are just obnoxious.

 

[Shinta]

Luigi's Mansion gives you a new appreciation for Ghost Houses.

 

[Neiteio]

I don't like them except in SMW and Mario Kart games so you're not alone.

Banshee Boardwalk in Mario Kart 64. <3

Wish Nintendo could muster that sort of darkness in a Mario game again.

 

[Dukey]

So I bought a Wii U(Mario and Luigi version) today for 3D World. I'm finding that I really really don't like 2D Mario games anymore. Like at all. Fortunately I also bought Zelda HD. Gonna tear that one up after 3D World. Hopefully find someone to buy Mario-Luigi off me and use the money towards Pikmin.
