I just want a 2d mario in the vein of SMB3 that just keeps going. No exit to world maps, no shitty cutscenes, no celebratory unskippable whatever. Just pure, endless Mario gameplay for hours and hours. One level feeds directly into another. Themes are mixed and matched, power-ups can be saved for when you're really in trouble. Just keep going until it's over.

It would be basically the same thing, the levels just lead into each other.
Oh, yeah I'd be fine with that.

What would a Doctor Mario MMO be exactly?
Sunshine often feels like a twin-stick shooter, with how much camera management you have to do to navigate the levels. I don't think it's a bad thing--it's not something I've seen any other game attempt, and it feels really unique.

I'm really not sure why people have one set idea of what open world is. It can be done so many different ways.

I'm hopeful Nintendo can find more success with their digital download platform on the Wii U. The eShop had a period where it had like 5-6 awesome little download titles, from Dillon's Rolling Western to Pushmo to Mutant Mudds.
I've recently just discovered those and a lot of the neat little XBLA titles, would be cool if these indie devs would make smaller titles that utilize the UPad in interesting ways. It'd also be really nice to have some in-house download titles too, as both Pushmo and Dillon's Rolling Western were pretty great.

As snesfreak said earlier, if you're banned from IRC, it's prob. because someone else on your mibbit host was banned.
Well, that's expected, since they do it every generation.

I liked Sunshine, but I don't love it. It was too frustrating at times for me to really enjoy it. It took the fun of it. I never even finished the game.

Even with Metroid Prime 3?
Massively Multiplayer Operations
Speaking of Trauma Center, all i want from E3 is a bunch of Atlus support. Make it happen.
I know, but I can see them being tempted to stick with a few of the tropes developed over last gen.
Anyways, E3 is getting real for me now.
It wasn't already?!

E3 is a fairy tale.
OK, I lost my shit at this one. XD
That's pretty much me if Star Fox x Metroid is real. I will jizz uncontrollably as Eat_Children rapidly ages 10,000 years like the guy who "chose poorly" at the end of The Last Crusade.

Talking about creepy, I'm replaying Eternal Darkness right now. Good lord, it's even more awesome than I remembered.
I want a Wii U sequel for 2013 at the latest.

Sorry, I meant a jpg from a cartoon that looks like it's from the 60's or something.
That one's good too, though.
No clue about GPU stuff, but I'm kind of thinking of an analogy with video encoders. Like there's hardware specific for encoding functions these days on some chips, I don't know how much space/transistors they take up, but I'm pretty sure they're more efficient at the task than general compute processors like regular CPUs or in this particular case, programmable shaders.
Perhaps they could make some stripped down shader units primarily for whatever effects (tesselation, lighting, blah blah), rather than necessarily making magic new hardware. It'd kind of fit in with the argument that if they had something special it'd already be in use in their other GPUs, since this would be sort of cutting down something existing to make specialized hardware rather than creating something new from scratch, whereas on higher end hardware they could just throw on more standard general use hardware.
But that's all just crazy speculation.
Obviously the GameCube was too hardcore for you guys.I liked Sunshine, but I don't love it. It was too frustrating at times for me to really enjoy it. It took the fun of it. I never even finished the game.
I loved them both myself, although I will say for F-Zero what helped a lot was my custom vehicle, I think the combo was called "Super Horse". I guess the key is just trying out the different vehicles and/or building your own to get one that really suits you. The story mode (where I think you had to use Captain Falcon's vehicle) gave me a shitload more trouble. As for Sunshine I liked the general feel of the whole thing, and just the prevalence of platforming around on stuff in most areas. I could never get into 64 cause (at least early on) everything is so spread out that it felt like there was more running around than platforming.
I thought both were good difficulty wise, hard enough that you're not just going to walk through it, but not impossible as long as you work at it. Even if you lost a lot you could generally see progression and have hope that you'll eventually make it. Unless you give up easily.
Oh man was watching clips of past e3s...
And remembered there was one year Nintendo set up.. a "special" room for certain journalists because I guess the theater was packed.
I remember Dan Shu or someone complaining about how the entire thing was pre-recorded before someone had to correct him on that.. but for the life of me can't remember which year this was
Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about?

2009, yeah. The actual place was smaller than normal. Fixed it year later. I remember them talking about it on the Bombcast.
I bet he hated Viewtiful Joe's difficulty too!

Well, the boss parade could certainly tax someones patience.
Thanks!
And the overworld like TTYD(except bigger).

Seeing how Paper Mario now went handheld, I certainly do wonder if we get an equivalent on WiiU. I can't imagine that Mario & Luigi now suddenly pops up on home consoles :/
