They will definitely make a 2D Mario game
for GBA since it can only do primitive 3D
(well compared to SM64 anyway).

Mario Chat / Re: Life after Miyamoto?

« on: June 24, 2000, 12:22:23 PM »

Nintendo has made plenty of good games without a lot of Miyamotos input.
Like SMK,MK64,1080, F-zero x and the
Metroid series among others. Those
games were made by people like Takashi
Tezuka and Hideki Konno, who have been
with Nintendo since the beginning of the
NES era. I have Majoras Mask and I consider it better than Ocarina of Time. I have no
doubt that Nintendo will make the best games
even after Mr Miyamoto has retired.
(who knows, we might se some games made for
an older audience too). It is possible that
their games might lose the "Miyamoto touch"
though.

Kamek or Captain Syrup.
Kamek is funny and great with magic (hes great at flying) and Captain Syrup is great
at building all sorts of bizzare machines to
protect her loot from Wario.

Mario Chat / Re: Which game is better...

« on: June 21, 2000, 10:21:37 AM »

I only got into gaming in the SNES times
so I did not play SMB3 when it was "fresh".I have finished it though (the All Stars version). I thought that SMW was a better game (it was less linear).
Of the games you mentioned SM64 is my favourite.

BTW why does everybody think that SMB3 was the best?

Mario Chat / What defines a Mario game?

« on: June 23, 2000, 07:14:49 AM »

1. The style
Some people say that the DKC series are Mario
games.I disagree. The world in those games is
a lot less cartoony and shares little of the
features of the Mario games (smiley clouds, pipes...) and none of the characters
 the enemies are mostly just slightly
deformed animals)

So that discludes all of Rares games

2. The format
The games that were released for PC
(Mario Teaches Typing, Marios Missing,
Marios Time Machine, Marios Early Years,
Marios FUNdamentals) were all edutainment
titles that were heavily dissaproved by
Miyamoto. Same goes for Marios Hotel on CD-i

Also mere cameos by Mario characters do not
make a Mario game. It doesn´t maatter if it is made by another company (like SMRPG)as long as it remains faithful to the "Mario Spirit" and is approved by Miyamoto.

Mario Chat / Marios Birthday...

« on: June 21, 2000, 10:29:34 AM »

Wasn´t DK released in -81? Doesn´t that
mean that Mario will soon be 20?
Do you think that Nintendo will celebrate
this in some way? I personally think (hope)
that they would release Mario All-Stars 2 for
Dolphin or GBA. It would contain all the good
games from SMB3 to SMRPG to Wario Land 3, and
as well as graphically updated, they would also contain new features(like 4-player mode
in SMK and rideable Yoshi in SM64).
What is your opinion on this?
