This game is so new. like newer than new. Newer Super Mario Bros

[–] Srootus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Goated ROM hack, playing through the DS one currently

[–] DaveFuckinMorgan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't think I'll ever get tired of these games to be honest.

[–] victory@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 years ago

Same. My wife isn't much of a gamer but NSMB Wii and NSMBU are some of the only games we'll play together and really enjoy. I think I'd actually pay for subscription DLC for a NSMB-style game if it gave you a few new levels to play through every month or two.

I hoped Mario Maker 2's user-generated content would feel like that, but the levels were so small and puzzle-focused that it really didn't work.

[–] ShadowCat@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I'm liking the newer art style. Different enough from what we've had from all the NSMB games

[–] alvarolh@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

I think it looks very beautiful!

[–] falconfetus8@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

So, is anyone gonna mention the elephant in the room?

[–] generalpotato@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I love how well designed the characters look. After so many Mario games using similar models, it's great to see fun animations and creative liberties for these characters. Gameplay looks awesome and super fun as well. New Super Mario Bros was a blast and here's hoping this one is too. Day 1 buy.

Super Mario Bros: in Linking the Sapient Dream

[–] germtm_@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

and Daisy is also there, i guess.

[–] JonDorfman@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Wasn’t expecting to be impressed by a 2D Mario game after New Super Mario Bros. 2 and U. Really excited for this game.

[–] Srootus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

Looks like it has a fresh lick of paint with how funky the gimmicks are.

[–] Whooping_Seal@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The graphics in this look very intriguing. I'm not sure it'll be my favourite 2d mario game but I am sure I will enjoy it thoroughly! I'm happy Nintendo didn't abandon the format, I was somewhat worried they were going to only make 3d Mario games going forward.

[–] Srootus@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They changed how Yoshi sounds, I say we riot

[–] Whooping_Seal@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I did not notice this, truly devastating news. I don't know how I shall even be able to sleep at night!

[–] Srootus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago
[–] sdcSpade@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

I was 60% sure the Mario Maker series meant there was never going to be another real sidescroller. Glad to be wrong!

[–] Zoness@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

The artstyle update is refreshing. I'm pretty excited to try this one out!

[–] WheatleyInc@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I'm surprised people care more about Mario RPG with different graphics than this new Mario game. 2D Mario has disappointed us in the past, but this takes leaps and risks Nintendo wasn't willing to take before. The game actually looks really good, and it's flaws are found in many other Nintendo games (People are finding the talking flower irritating, despite so many Nintendo titles having irritating side characters). From what I've seen from this game, it takes dangerous risks, has a nice art style, and actually has difficulty to it.

This one may feel... weird. But I strongly encourage everyone to give this one a chance, even if it somehow turns out being not great, buying this encourages Nintendo to take more creative risks.

(yes I will admit, this game does seem to look like you're on drugs.)

[–] dangblingus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I think people are looking for the next quantum leap for mario games. Nothing wrong with a 2D mario platformer, but it has to do more than New Super Mario Bros and Mario Maker 2. Quite frankly I am more interested in Wonder than RPG. RPG is an S-tier game, and it would be nice to replay, but, you know, it's a super nintendo game. One that anyone could still play right this second.

[–] SeeStars@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

Finally, no more "New Soup"

[–] DarkThoughts@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] razorwiregoatlick@kbin.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes. 2D games made with 3D models. I don’t here them referred to like that much anymore though.

[–] conciselyverbose@kbin.social 1 points 2 years ago

If you move in 2D it's a 2D game. 2.5D is fine if you really want, but there's no actual functional difference between having 3D models vs pixel art. The gameplay is what defines the game.

[–] Srootus@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Huh. I've replied to a bunch of you guys's comments and loads of them doesn't seem to have posted or at least are invisible to me, to anyone else seeing this. Is there a comment from me under the the guy talking about the game being 2.5D?

[–] Cryst@lemmy.ca 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hm. That's strange. I don't see your comment. Or mine. Weird...

[–] Srootus@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hopefully this one comes through. I think its something to do with Jerboa, as it keeps coming up with an error languagee_not_allowed, bug possibly?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh that's definitely the issue. Try posting from the website and setting the comment's mange to english? The person you're reply to may have deselected undetermined in their profile.

[–] Srootus@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

That's what it was in the end, I rewrote all the comments in the web browser, I hope Jerboa adds a setting to choose a language by default to post in.

I cant wait to - Im gonna say the E word - emulate this game
