Author Topic: "Super Mario 128": Speculation... (Read 12395 times)

Hope(N Forever) · « **on:** December 08, 2003, 08:36:28 AM »

Hey, people...
As long as Miyamoto does not want to share his "little" secret yet, how's about we do a bit of speculation for the next Super Mario platformer on the Nintendo GameCube?

Here's some things we would like to discuss about Mario's next adventure:
-The final title of the game.
-What type of story would occur?
-What sort of problem would be going on?
-Who's the enemy, is it Bowser, or someone else - old or new enemies?
-Does the princess get kidnapped as always?
-Will Luigi go adventuring with Mario again?
-Will we see some old characters in this game, or weird brand new characters will appear?
-Will the levels be gigantic?
-What type of graphics?
-Would the characters change physical or fashional appearance?
-Will there be new personalities on our beloved characters?
-How difficult can this game be?
-Will there be extra features?
-Will there be more puzzles?
-Will the storyline be acceptable by all audiences? Better yet, will the storyline offer more surprises and solve certain Mario mysteries we always wanted to know?
-AND most importantly, as Mr. Miyamoto promised us, will this be the best Super Mario game ever? With all new-freshness and Mario himself going to be more mature?

Okay, gang, let's speculate!!

I am a pure Super Mario lover!!
...and in no point in the future will he ever be abandonded by me!
I will even drawn the best Super Mario comics ever to exist!!

I think that it will be very similar to SM64, in the way the levels are set up. I believe you will collect things like stars, but maybe they won't be stars. As for the story, I think their won't be much of any, like all Mario games. It'll basically be: Bowser kidnapped Peach. Save her. She is in the hardest to get to room, and will require you to collect special items that have the ability to unlock new levels.

Behold the overwhelming power of my signature and bow before me! BOW!

I think it will involve mario and have 128 bit graphics.

Luigison · « **Reply #3 on:** December 08, 2003, 08:09:57 PM »

128? Please, that is just a number. The GameCube is 64. I know you said graphics, and 128 would be very sharp, but SMB3, SMW, M&L:SS, and SM64 are four of my all time fav games and they are no way near 128. I don't care that much about graphics anyway. I want the unbeatable game play that Shiggy puts in all his Mario games (Mario Party games aside). Oh, and some funny stuff like in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga. That is the best GBA game ever. Well so far anyway. I think Super Mario 128 or whatever it is finally called will very likely be the best home console game ever.

"As for Mario Sunshine, it would be very easy to take the Sunshine engine and create a sequel to that but really right now what we're focussing on is what really is fun, and how can we take that and find a way to make it accessible to a much broader audience."

Nintendo reserved the 100marios.com address so the game might have something to do with controlling an army of Marios to complete missions (just like Pikmin). The same mechanic will appear soon in the next instalment of Donkey Kong for GBA (was it Donkey Kong Plus?)

Y'know what?

I always imagine a new Mario move, inspired by how Mario defeats Bowser in Super Mario 64, where Mario gets to grab his ennemy, a Koopa Troopa most likely, spin around and hurl it towards more ennemies for more 'kills'. Kinda like trying to get all your bowling pins down...

Yes, something few people realized. Mario's backwards throw in Super Smash Bros. is supposed to be his throw he uses on Bowser in Mario 64.

Form some speculation I hear, someone supposedly will leave the franchise or die or something. If ya' ask me, that's stupid. Having someone leave would be the video game equivalent of a TV show "jumping the shark."

The Nintendo Official European Magazine recently had an interview with Mr. Miyamoto...

One of their questions was about the next Super Mario platformer, but Shigeru Miyamoto answered that he could not reveal anything about it or how far have they completed it, fearing that other developers might steal his ideas, but all he said was that the game contained fresh new elements never ever seen before in any other game...

Oh crud! With all this secrecy, the game must be really really really really really that darn good!

Oh man! I'm now so anticipated that I JUST CAN'T BARELY EVEN SLEEP THINKING ABOUT IT! I CANNOT WAIT ANY LONGER TO SEE WHAT MIYAMOTO COOKED UP!!

Mario Maniac · « **Reply #26 on:** February 16, 2004, 08:22:34 PM »

I sometimes guess that Nintendo/Shigeru Miyamoto doesn't have a clear concept of what "innovation" actually is...

Super Mario Sunshine was supposed to ressurect the Mario franchise by having new innovative concepts (the FLUDD water pack), but some critics said it seemed the same as Super Mario 64 in terms of basic gameplay.

Zelda: The Wind Waker did recieve a huge graphical change, but that was about it. Nothing major was changed between that game and the Ocarina of Time. The basic gameplay was the same (as with all Zelda games). Every Zelda game I have played seemed to be the same concept, nothing extra was added to make the games seem fresh and new.

I think Shigeru Miyamoto should add something completely new to both the Mario and Zelda franchises, because each of the sequels I have played seems familiar to the original game. Nothing really new has been added to the games besides graphic changes and updated controls. What they need is something never before seen in the videogame industry... Something that would impress both Nintendo fans and non-Nintendo fans.

Ressurect. The franchise is still very much alive.

"...but some critics said it seemed the same as Super Mario 64 in terms of basic gameplay."
Well duh. But anyway, why do you care about critics?

"The basic gameplay was the same (as with all Zelda games)."
Wrong again. I take it you've never played Zelda 2. Also, OoT had a ton of innovation.

"...nothing extra was added to make the games seem fresh and new."
What games have you been playing?

"...because each of the sequels I have played seems familiar to the original game."
Such is the essence of a franchise. Change it too much, and you ruin it.

"What they need is something never before seen in the videogame industry..."
Just be quiet and wait.

Forest Guy · « **Reply #28 on:** February 16, 2004, 10:41:59 PM »

You just contradicted (spelling) yourself there. The new graphics in Wind Waker was a true innovation to the Zelda series because never before has a hevay action game had cel-shading. I for one love the graphics in it. I just got the game about a week ago and can't stop playing it. It's by far one of the greatest games I've ever played.

I certainly hope that the level setup isn't like Super Mario 64 or Sunshine... while those games were good, I have always, and most likey always will, prefer the classic Mario vibe. A 3rd game featuring the "Limited serving of 3-Dimensional but surprisingly cramped and sparsely enemy-infested levels, each of which must be played through several times in order to find Stars or other trinkets" motif would be boring, I think. What I want is something tha plays more like Super Mario Bros. 3 or Super Mario World in 3D. Only one simple goal in each level; survive and make it through to the goal, but lots and lots of varied levels, each crawling with potentially point-giving enemies to be defeated. Speaking of defeating enemies; powerups. GOOD powerups. I'll admit the caps in SM64 were sorta cool, if a bit redundant, but FLUDD and its various attachments were a major disappointment. What I would give to see the return of the Fire Flower or the Hammer Bros. Suit... and the Raccoon Leaf.

Of course, if SM128 is going to be as big a milestone as some make it out to be, perhaps it could encompass both worlds; having a play arc wide enough to include lots of old-school enemy bopping and pit jumping as well as trinket hunts, side quests, and newer gimmicks. I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. As for me... I'm gonna go play some SMB3. Ah, how I love the smell of Hammers in the morning...

Also, I love references. References, references, references. I hope they put in as many references to past Mario games as humanly possible. Little things like Geno and the "Mario's Pad" music showing up in M&L:SS.

Myamoto talked about mario128. This is the question and the answere.

Question: You have said that the next Mario is going to be more mature. Are there plans to go through with this concept?

Miyamoto: Well, by that I didn't mean that Mario is going to be the game for adults, but rather I wanted to say more specifically about the game, is that the character is going to look less childish. I'm not saying that Mario is going to be like Conker's Bad Fur Day. You have seen Luigi's image in yesterday's footage, and I think that you would agree that Luigi is less childish now, that's the kind of thing that I was talking about when I referred to Mario becoming more matured.

P.S. NOOOOOOOO!!! Luigi is'nt wacky anymore, but we know now Luigi is in the game at least. I will keep you updated.

You are a fool (more so for reposting that ridiculous screenshot).

Anyway, Nintendo VP of Corporate Affairs, Perrin Kaplan, stated at E3, "Miyamoto continues to work on a variety of different games and I think he's still got that in development, but he's just not ready to present it. He's got his attention on so many things and now with the DS coming he's just going to begin to finalize what he's working on. It has not disappeared, though, I'll just say that."

Yahoo!!!

There's a very exciting tid bit within this quote:

In a recent interview in Famitsu Miyamoto said he expects that in about 3 years online-gaming will be a common feature for all games and he knows that Nintendo needs to plan for it. Also he mentioned that the Nintendo DS will get online games soon with assistance from Square Enix to build DS Online. On the GameCube front, Mario baseball is being developed with the assistance of NAMCO, Mario 128 is still being developed for GCN (expect this game to be at E3). A new Pokemon game is coming tor GC, perhaps this will be Pokemon RPG (time to catch them all again).

-The final title of the game.
Probably some Mario Adventures part...blah
-What type of story would occur?
Probably something missing, wich is stolen by a bad guy (Waluigi this time?)..Or one of the princesses is kidnapped again, because Bowser can't get his f**ing paws away from them.
-What sort of problem would be going on?
Read last answer..
-Who's the enemy, is it Bowser, or someone else - old or new enemies? New enemies, for sure!
-Does the princess get kidnapped as always?
It might happen again, as I said..
-Will Luigi go adventuring with Mario again?
Why not? They're brothers! :) Put Luigi in the highlights again!
-Will we see some old characters in this game, or weird brand new characters will appear? **** the old characters! Put Waluigi in the game!
-Will the levels be gigantic?
I hope so! Ours of fun..:)
-What type of graphics?
I think a bit the same as their last game..
-Would the characters change physical or fashional appearance?
They always look the same, you know how it might goes..
-Will there be new personalities on our beloved characters?
Would be fun! I don't know all of them yet, what do they hide huh? :P
-How difficult can this game be?
Easy to beat, like every game.
-Will there be extra features?
Up to them!
-Will there be more puzzles?
I'll ask them..;)
-Will the storyline be acceptable by all audiences? Better yet, will the storyline offer more surprises and solve certain Mario mysteries we always wanted to know?
Yeahh Mario, what did you do behind our back huh? :P
-AND most importantly, as Mr. Miyamoto promised us, will this be the best Super Mario game ever? With all new-freshness and Mario himself going to be more mature?
I hope they're be more mature in their next game. So hopefully my mother wouldn't call me childish no more.

Shigeru Miyamoto on Mario 128: "I believe that with this game you'll be able to feel the 'newness' that was missing from Mario Sunshine. As for Mario Sunshine, it would be very easy to take the Sunshine engine and create a sequel to that but really right now what we're focussing on is what really is fun, and how can we take that and find a way to make it accessible to a much broader audience."

Yoshi had better have a huge role in it. He had a role in Sunshine, but he could't go in water and the Yoshis in the game were never green unless they were about to die. And Luigi had better be in it too so we won't have a repeat of "OMG! Tha LUIGI Ees In MariO 64 game By cODE!!!!!!!!"
