Topic: Super Mario 3D World - OT

Not sure about the multiple Marios thing, and the hub world looks kind of lame, but otherwise it looks good.

That trailer was awesome on so many levels!

I can already see this game being used as a trump card in the future for whenever a vocal portion of the fanbase automatically dismisses a game for not being what they expected.

I think this has surpassed SLW as my most wanted WiiU game (and I'm a big Sonic fangirl). >.>

So is 3D World still a worthless and pointless sequel? >.>

Mario suit meaning he uses stealth. He crawls behind the goombas and slits their throats.

No wart huh? Oh well, still loving the looks of this game! Also, I can't shake the feeling that the Goomba suit acts like the statue suit. Y'know, since the fact their both used to be kind of stealthy.

IGN has impressions saying the game is really good

• map features levels, shops, enemies, coins and secrets
• at least seven different islands
• visit in a counterclockwise fashion starting from the bottom
• mid-world fortress stage called "Bowser's Bullet Bill Brigade"
• this level features a parade of tanks, armed goombas and also slowly scrolls
• one Bowser boss battle takes place on a flaming highway as Bowser drives a car, trying to hit you with bombs and mess you up with oil slicks
• encounter a giant Piranha Plant's silhouette on a wall that turns out to be a tiny enemy that just happened to be close to a light source
• new power-up includes a cannon you can wear to fire off explosive shells
• carry a sleeping Piranha Plant that will eat up bad guys
• Goomba costume which Mario can wear and use to sneak around an enemy compound
• in multiplayer, you only have a few seconds to touch the flag once the first person does
• if you get the best score twice in a row, you'll get more bonuses besides the crown

I can't believe I wrote this game off and expected a literal 3D land in HD.

Well, that trailer made me super excited for the game. Indeed, it showed in pretty much two minutes how not like 3D Land this whole game is, as well as just how much creativity Nintendo is putting into it.

Awesome stuff! I do wonder why the clone power-up is a cherry of all things.

Same reason the cat power up is a bell?

The Cherry has a pair of the fruit, and you split into two when you touch it, so...yeah, lol

It's probably just me, but the visuals seem a bit improved from the E3 build.

I think they just showed off differently lit areas, which gives the illusion that the visuals are improved.

Nintendo, I have learned to not jump to conclusions about how unexcited I am after seeing the first preview of a game (causal party games not included).

The game is running at 720p and has a cool stamp book feature.

This game is far from playing it safe.

So much creativity. I'm really impressed.
Could we possibly see a full jazz soundtrack for this game?

I watched the ND trailer of this game on my 3DS via Eshop and my breath still gets snatched away from how gorgeous this game looks. Just WOW. BREATH-TAKING. Somebody should post the screenshot of Mario (in Cat from) at this huge grassy area and the sun is just about to go down... It looks beautfiul I gotta find it....

All you doubters owe EAD Tokyo an apology. Lol

@DestinyMan THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for posting those pictures. Those are freaking gorgeous. OH MY GAWD... I think...I think... My hope for Super Mario 3D World MIGHT be getting close to my hype for Monolith's X!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SOOO PRETTY!!!
