My guess is something more along the lines of "lots of courses as linear as Galaxy's, but not in space, as per Super Mario 64". Great to hear that the Raccoon Suit's back, though; it looks for all intents and purposes that the old-school powerup system could be back.

Post by: CoconutMikeNIke on April 26, 2011, 12:56:54 AM: I know it's old and unnecessary nowadays, but I like having a button for run, and with the older kind of flight mechanic (maybe) returning, this seems as good a chance as any for button run to come back too.

I didn't really care, personally

/me looks down and shakes his head.

Run button, I'll tell you what...

thumb-nub

Thumb-what?

Post by: BP on April 26, 2011, 01:32:16 PM: Ohh I remember that! The first DS had a wrist strap with a plastic pad, and you were supposed to rope it around your thumb and use it on the touch screen like a control stick.

It was dumb

According to the summary on Nintendo Everything: (http://nintendoeverything.com/63968/) "Nintendo feels that gaming is better with buttons, so you won’t see a machine without them."

Post by: Lizard Dude on April 27, 2011, 03:47:17 AM: The thumb-nub and virtual analog stick were kind of weird, but I got 150 stars SO IT APPARENTLY WORKED

Post by: BP on April 27, 2011, 12:48:59 PM: Good job
Title: Re: Tanooki Suit Confirmed for Super Mario 3DS
Post by: Luigison on April 27, 2011, 05:04:26 PM: I got 150 stars without one. Of course it was a pain as I assume getting used to the nub was a pain for you, but we both stuck through to the end.

Reminds me of the videos I saw comparing Tiny Hawk and the iPhone ripoff Tiny Skater: http://indiegames.com/2011/04/tiny-hawk-plagiarised-as-tiny-skater-on-app-store.html

Post by: Toad on April 27, 2011, 07:44:36 PM: Thumb-nub? More like Thumb-numb. After extended use, my entire hand would go numb and I wouldn't be able to play any games. :(

I stopped using it within the week of getting a DS. I'm not even sure if I have the thing anymore..

You kidding me? I loved using that thing. Didn't bother me a bit.
