Was there ever a point when PeTA stood for something besides schlocky, tacky self-promotion?  No?  Okay.

IGN's got their Mario 3D Land review up... and it sounds awesome.  IGN says it's the first game on the system to get the most out of the 3D effect, and the 3D is truly a necessary part of the gameplay experience.  Leave it to Mario, I guess. :)

The Flower Cup version of Mario Circuit doesn't just let you drive up to the castle, it lets you drive THROUGH it!  Something I've been dreaming of since MK64 came back out all those years ago...

Ha, that's so strange!  It'd be one thing to see maybe Mario and Luigi in there as secret, unlockable characters, but 6 Mario guys?  At that point is it even Diddy Kong Pilot anymore?  More like Mario Pilot.

Holy freaking balls, I'm loving the looks of the Flower Cup.  Wuhu Loop looks like it follows the "Island Lap" from Wii Fit.  I'VE JOGGED A MARIO KART COURSE.  So cool.  That'll be a fun course.  Music Circuit looks ****ing magical... like Rainbow Road amounts of fun and wonder there (funder?).  I'm SO psyched to finally drive karts through Peach's Castle in Mario Circuit.  It'd be cooler if it was a little more like the interior from Super Mario 64, but I'll take it.  I like that Rock Rock Mountain looks like it might take place in the same region as Wario Goldmine.  That consistency between locations in different Mario Kart games is cool to me.  Also at the very end there, notice that Mario kind of makes his glider-kart dive then pop back up... looks like it works a similarly to the Super Mario World's cape or Super Mario 64's wing cap... very interesting to see how deep the glider mechanics are.

The Banana Cup is looking good too.  The biggest surprise, in a good way, is the fairly drastic remodel of Koppa Troopa Beach.  A lot of the pointless ramps are removed, boost panels are added to them, and the karts' ability to dive looks fully utilized.  On the flipside, it looks like they removed some palm trees, and added boost panels to the shortcut ramp... hopefully that's not the case--seems like that'd be a pretty huge gamebreaker if so.

I like the interpretation that  Mario is a dude who doesn't save the day just because he has to, but because he wants to.  It's fun for him.  That's why he's always whooping and hollering as he bounces as around, and his joyful attitude just makes Bowser hate him all the more.  Luigi on the other handis a lot more timid... or even just more realistic, and realizes the danger of the situation his brother charges headlong into.

Hey, Red Forman made 'em spoilers, so I just wanted to follow suit!  Maybe some board members are on a media blackout?

Added it.  Good call!  I knew I'd forget a game I personally wasn't interested in.

Video Game Chat / Holiday Season Video Game Blitzkrieg
« on: November 04, 2011, 10:10:48 AM »
This holiday season is ridiculously full to bursting with like a million awesome games. What are you getting? Are you picking it/them up for yourself, or hoping a loved one/Santa/the Krampus gives it to you as a gift?

Being 3DS-less, I'm super tempted to pick one up for myself just for Super Mario 3D Land, and then maybe throw Mario Kart 7 onto a Christmas list. Or maybe vice versa. BUT realistically, I probably shouldn't pick up expensive new hardware, and am more likely to pick up either Skyrimjob or Skyward Sword, and then ask for the other for Christmas.

That said, Arkham City looks super ****ing sweet, and Saints Row: The Third looks like a blast as well. Batman's got my attention way more though.

I'm psyched about the return of Boom Boom and the addition of Pom Pom, but is it so much to ask to have the Koopalings in there too?  Oh well, we'll always have New Super Mario Bros. Wii.  This might finally destroy my resolve to not buy a 3DS... I gotta stay strong (and more importantly, remember that I can't really afford it).

EDIT: I'd also love to see Boom Boom and/or Pom Pom as playable characters in Mario Kart 7.

I really dig how this game is built to bridge the gameplay gap between 2D Mario and 3D Mario.  It's strange that the two types of games play so differently, and I'm excited to see how a talented studio brings these two gameplay philosophies together.  I'm really digging how the game starts more linear and 2D-styled, and gradually morphs into something more like Mario 64.  I have a feeling it'll play like Galaxy somewhere in the middle, and I am all kinds of okay with that.  Also it sounds like this one is going to have a huge amount of post-game content like the Galaxy games, which is pretty sick as well.  Definitely getting more excited for this one (finally).

Also I'm loving that you can use the boomerang to retrieve items.  I always like when a little splash of Zelda mechanics work into Mario, and vice versa.

Awesome new Iwata Asks covering Super Mario 3D Land. Lots of cool info, including the return of Statue Mario as a function of the Tanooki Suit! This article finally made me realize how cool this game is going to be.

Good lord this game looks ridiculously good.  Thanks for the Rosalina confirmation.  As for unexpected characters remaining hidden, I'm sure we haven't been told ALL the characters that will be available.  I'm hoping for some surprises still.

Yeah I'm not really feeling Honey Queen, BUT she's a non-princess female character, which makes her kind of cool, and she's likely to be a heavy-weight to boot.  So she's not exactly a top pick for me either, but like you said, better than a baby at the very least.  We've definitely seen one of her karts in action in the videos too, and it looks pretty slick. 

Considering that Toadette and Waluigi have been in the Mario Kart series since Double Dash!!, I'd be astonished if they weren't in MK7.  I'm thinking/hoping this game will have a huge roster.  For God's sake, give us playable Kamek already!
