This looks amazing and imagine my kids would absolutely love it but 100 bucks is a bit steep

presumably you can use that with a VR headset too; seems like a game changer.They were charging nearly $100 for a box of boxes not too long ago; price seems reasonable to me!

wonder if it developed from a series of "mario kart maker" meetings

Is sunshine good? I bought mario 64 for ds lite and never played it.
― bogo jumbo boba (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 3 September 2020 14:35 (three years ago) link
sunshine is prob the worst of the a1 3d titles, mario moves a lil slow feels kinda gooey, its still good tho
― lag∞n, Thursday, 3 September 2020 14:39 (three years ago) link
still waiting for another one w the speed and violence of 64
you might be interested in bubsy 3d then

saw someone on youtube talking about how theyre hoping botw 2 is the dark zelda they were hoping for from the first one and its like not everything has to be hardcore and the first one was pretty dark my lord the world is in a tough spot
― lag∞n, Thursday, 3 September 2020 14:46 (three years ago) link
Yeah I’d be way more into a not post apocalyptic world this time

looks like its just gonna be the same world but with underground stuff or something fwiw botw

as someone mentioned on twitter, weird that Nintendo is explicitly going to the Disney Vault strategy for the Mario 3D All Stars. and it'll work on me, unfortunately! wish Galaxy 2 was in there, i haven't played either of them
― Nhex, Thursday, 3 September 2020 14:55 (three years ago) link
i am def going buy the 3d pack baby (but not the 2d (not enough dimensions))
― lag∞n, Thursday, 3 September 2020 14:57 (three years ago) link
presumably galaxy 2 will get a stand-alone rerelease before the next gen.i am confused as to why you wouldn't punch up the 64 graphics further but maybe that's another in the future thing.i appreciate the freebies on the network!
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Thursday, 3 September 2020 14:57 (three years ago) link
perhaps worth mentioning explicitly as the video didn't make it very clear but Mario All-Stars (not the 3-D one) comes free with Nintendo Online and is live now.https://www.cnet.com/how-to/nintendo-switch-online-snes-nes-library-features-exclusive-offers-super-mario-all-stars/

I've started Super Mario Galaxy 2 then things intervened, now that I have the ring-fit, if I could get SMG2 on Switch I could finally bin the WiiU

Expecting lots of home-made Rainbow Roads (and broken cameras).
― jmm, Thursday, 3 September 2020 15:52 (three years ago) link
that sucks, SMG2 was the best of those games IMO
Sunshine is one I wanna revisit someday, I remember the overwhelming consensus being "this game is good but it's got a lot of problems" and indeed the main thing I remember is how glitchy it was. but the humongous worlds were legitimately very cool and I loved all the 'secret' areas
3D world is great too, when you go back to the other New SMB games it's really apparent how much better this one is
― frogbs, Thursday, 3 September 2020 16:00 (three years ago) link
sunshine is solid its just the bar is so high for these games. also having the shine order in each level be railroaded after the free-explore approach of 64 was a disappointment at the time, but then iirc galaxy continued with that and everyone got used to it until they brought free explore back for odyssey
― ciderpress, Thursday, 3 September 2020 16:07 (three years ago) link
one thing I remember is there's a level where you have to shoot water at a puzzle and flip all the pieces to the same side but the waterpack controls were so clunky that you couldn't shoot with any precision and so you either got lucky or quit in frustration
also remember certain sections of the game be surprisingly difficult, like "there has to be something I'm missing because what they want me to do here is basically impossible"
I think if they'd given it another 6 months it could've been real great, and iirc the Gamecube was really hurting for a flagship title at that point
― frogbs, Thursday, 3 September 2020 16:12 (three years ago) link
there's definitely some difficulty spikes but i don't remember anything that hard
though there's this one level that apparently is now infamous for being bullshit thanks to a giant bomb stream where they fucked it up repeatedly and blamed the game but i had 0 difficulty with it as a kid??

they're making a big deal of Mario's 35th ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

they're making a lot of money off of Mario's 35th

Super Mario 3D All Stars seems like a good idea but idk if it's worth shelling out 60 bucks. I never played Sunshine or Galaxy tho

lol so *now* you all start complaining about nintendo prices.
― Josh in Chicago, Saturday, 5 September 2020 21:47 (three years ago) link
i mean i only started buying video games again this year after like 12 years of being out of the loop so i had zero opinion on this before & i am not part of this "you all" you speak of
― trapped out the barndo (crüt), Saturday, 5 September 2020 22:09 (three years ago) link
with galaxy 2 the math would change significantly but as is galaxy 1 + sunshine taken together is still like the 3rd or 4th best $60 mario game on switch
― ciderpress, Saturday, 5 September 2020 22:14 (three years ago) link
maybe 5th best if we're counting the 3d world rerelease thats not out yet
― ciderpress, Saturday, 5 September 2020 22:15 (three years ago) link
everyone seems to love 3D World these days but I thought it was a bit disappointing tbh, as single player game anyway
― ( X '____' )/ (zappi), Saturday, 5 September 2020 22:19 (three years ago) link
yeah i havent played it hence the maybe. i have the 3ds one though and wasn't really into it
