Shy Guys with sombreros. That's more like it.

After Nate Bihldorff showed it off at the conference, I think I'm sold on this. There probably won't be any partners, and I'm pretty much okay with that now (though I would be a lot more okay with it if I thought there were any plans for a replacement series so we could possibly someday get another Mario RPG in the vein of TTYD), but I think I'm ready to take this game on its own merits, and it looks like it'll be pretty good and still have a good amount of the spirit of the PM series.

How long before Nintendo notices that "Game & Wario" is pronounced almost identically to "Gay Man Wario"?

Looks like a fox tail. I was thinking it was a subtle Sonic reference.

Wario should show up in some fashion.

Preferably some very hip, trendy fashion, like layered T-shirts and Heelies and frosted tips.

Yeah, World would've definitely been better than giving it a title that rhymes with the other game in the series coming out around the same time.

Apparently they're the other way now.

Also, I love how everyone's complaining about the news that using a second Upad will cut the framerate from 60 fps to 30. Like, dudes, seriously. The only way for two Upads to not use more processing power than one Upad would be if the Upads had their own CPU and GPU, which would make them cost about as much as an actual handheld. And if they made the console powerful enough to stream to two Upads at 60fps, they'd ask why it doesn't jump up to 120fps with one. And if they didn't let it use two Upads at all, they'd complain about that.

Game Blog / Re: Did the pre-E3 Nintendo Direct reveal new elements in New Super Mario Bros. Mii?

« on: June 03, 2012, 11:23:42 PM »

They're from other people playing the game. Some games will have Miiverse features like that directly integrated into the game; with the ones that aren't, you can still access the Miiverse at any time with the Home button to talk to people through text or video chat, with PC and mobile integration within a few months of launch. Like this hipster.

The GamePad sticks were ultra-confirmed to be clickable in the Direct video (visually, verbally, and aurally), so it's probably safe to assume the Pro ones are too. No word on trigger analogicity yet.

I'm sure I'll still find things to complain about (like how the level still ends with a flag), but this looks really nice.

22:32: "OK, being a flying squirrel is WAY more fun than it should be!"
"A baby Yoshi that balloons up to carry you? Too cute!"

I like how Iwata says "tekist."

First actual screenshot!



Looks like they might actually make it look different!

(New Super Mario Bros. U is  an official name, by the way)

Also this.



I like how every console has the sticks in different places now.
