Here's hoping that by "combination of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 64" they mean "lots of nonlinear courses, as per Super Mario 64."

No pictures as of yet?! I am disappoint.

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.

I might like a Peach's Castle type Hub, but on a sphere.

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.

It was in Super Mario 64 DS, and last I checked, nobody liked it

I didn't really care, personally

It was in SM64DS so as to avoid having Mario sprint everywhere when you touch the D-Pad. Unnecessary with the 3DS.

You kids these days. Back in my time, we played SM64DS with the included thumb-nub AND WE LIKED IT!

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

thumb-nub

Thumb-what?

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

I and now Nintendo agree it seems:

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

The thumb-nub and virtual analog stick were kind of weird, but I got 150 stars SO IT APPARENTLY WORKED

BP · « **Reply #13 on:** April 27, 2011, 12:48:59 PM »

Good job

Luigison · « **Reply #14 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
