Mario Chat / Re: Luigi's Mansion 2

I like to think that the side-by-side continuuity would be cool, but watch Luigi appear in Super Mario 3DS (and Mario in LM2), thus throwing off that theory.

It'd be even cooler (if also a blatant money-grab) if you could link the games together once they're finished for a massive co-op boss battle. Or something.

Wii U isn't a bad name either. My only complaint: what does the U stand for?

My guess is that while it's a sequel to the Wii (brand recognition and all), the screen on each controller forces more of a focus on controller, and, by extension, the person holding the controller; you. Or U.

Super Circuit. They were a bit of a pain in the arse on 150cc Grand Prix though, I must say.

Toad, Koopa Troopa, Toadette, Dry Bones.
Peach, Yoshi, Daisy, E. Gadd.
Mario, Luigi, Hammer Bro. Diddy Kong.
Waluigi, Bowser Jr., Birdo, Kamek.
Bowser, DK, Wario (WW outfit), King Boo.

12 characters with eight unlockables, somewhat evenly distributed amongst the different weight classes. Honestly, I don't think we need more than 20 characters. This is Mario Kart, not Street Fighter... the babies and Dry Bowser are stupid, Rosalina is too awesome to be reduced to a Mario Kart character (have her flying around Rainbow Road with Luma or something?), Funky Kong is cool but doesn't really belong.

I tried. BP's right, you can't win them all.

I'll handle myself better next time.

You did try, but, in all honesty, it was a poor effort, and it paints a bad picture of you as a whole. >;(
It's not something I'd stick with if I were you;)

Seems pretty good, I tried the earlier version and I haven't had as much a chance to play this one but I'll give it a shot. So far;

- Doesn't seem to be enough sound. Jumps and coins are entirely silent, gives the whole game a bit of a desolate feel. I had to blast some Wolfmother to compensate. :D
- BP's already pointed this out, but you really need some consistency with your graphic choices. The SMW/SMB3 thing was fine, but NSMB is so far removed that it may as well be a different series.
- The HUD doesn't feel very... Mario-y
- I'm using the Xbox 360 controller with the game and I can't use the D-pad for control. Not sure if this is a problem with the GM engine though.
- Changed controls during my second playthrough and it still used the original settings.
- You can't use select Pause menu options from the map screen with the up/down buttons on the joystick, you need to use the keyboard and then the joystick to confirm
- Can't unpause game unless I use Ctrl, custom pause button won't unpause. For that matter I thought I had to forcequit it from Task Manager untl I figured that out :P

But most significantly, I started up the new version for the second time (first time, I changed controls and did a bit of the first level) and I got the error shown below. I'm using Windows 7 x64.

Aside from these minor squabbles, I'm seeing the start of a very good game! Apart from the things I mentioned the gameplay is quite solid (I liked the little walljump ability), though if I'm hoping you'll go with a more original name and more original levels. A bit of story would do fine as well, but even Miyamoto himself isn't too crazy about it, so hey, each to their own.

There aren't any, Cave Johnson mentions lemons and burning your house down briefly toward the end of that section of the single player campaign.

I'm coding a Java program for my course and half of the methods have arbritarily stopped working. I'm getting strange errors and characters not showing up anywhere. It's due tomorrow and I only had a couple more things to do, HA, how wrong was I. I'm ****ing ready to hit someone at the moment.

FPSes normally help me take out my frustrations. Especially games like Left 4 Dead, where the mixture of therapeutic zombie slaughter and light-hearted banter serves well to get rid of those nasty feelings.

Also, I like things that help me immerse myself in another world, whether that be a game like GTAIV with a stronger story, watching a good movie, any of that. Writing's also a massive part of it.

Mario Chat / If you had to get rid of one major Mario character...

« on: May 21, 2011, 06:39:38 AM »

I generally refer to them as the Big Eight, the eight mainstays of the series (especially the Mario Kart games) who seem to keep popping up.

Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Bowser, Wario, DK, Yoshi.

Let's just say that Nintendo have elected to chop out one of the characters from the Mario games, and they can never return. No adventures, no spinoffs, no Geno-like token cameos in mini-games, nothing. My question to you is... who would you pick?

For mine, I'd get rid of DK. He probably adds the least to the series storywise and tbh I hate his new voice with a fiery passion.
