Topic: Super Mario 3D World - OT

I'd be more worried about Mario turning into Pac-Man in terms of mostly only existing because of nostalgia.

I want to see more. That's all I'm saying. I hope the pipes don't devour the game

I think I've cracked it! Are you saying that it would spoil Pac Man memories?

I don't see Pac-Man in this much at all. Not sure where you're going with that.

I see Super Mario 3D Land 2, that's it.

Nintendo Direct tomorrow that will cover previously announced Wii U and 3DS games tomorrow, so chances are the release date will be revealed in the ND.

The bit with the translucent pipes. You don't recognise a variation of Pac Man gameplay in that?

Um, ok. But how does that necessarily mean that Pac-Man will be appearing? That's like saying Pikmin will appear in the Wonderful 101 just because they both use armies of little characters to fight large enemies.

Although I can understand thats what you think I said, I didn't actually mean the Pac Man character will be in the game

I don't think you literally mean Pac-Man in the game, but rather that it's like a clone of Pac-Man play.

No, I don't see it. I see them as puzzles involving pipes. If Mario is suddenly in a grid where he has to get all the coins and four goombas chase after him, and stars in the corner give him the ability to take out said goombas...then yeah, I'd see a Pac-Man influence.

Actually, that'd be a cool mini-game.

So because of clear pipes, you think the game will start ripping off of Pac-Man? Pipes aren't that major of a feature in the game, dude. I mean, there's an entire level dedicated to working together as you ride a sea monster, without a pipe in sight!

I see more Bump 'n Jump personally.

no you don't get it at all

I didnt crack it? Perhaps you could show what order these words are supposed to be in, for your sentence to be readable?

@Tim_Slim You misinterpreted his statement. He is implying that, at the moment, Pac Man exists only because of the feelings of nostalgia players have of early games in the series. Namco uses these feelings to sell anything Pac Man related. He is concerned that Mario will go this rather greedy route.

Thanks for clearing that up, Happy_Mask. I wouldn't have reached that interpretation.

For what it's worth, the rather recent Pacman Championship Edition DX was very well recieved by critics. I also think it's quite good.

The music is a remix of Super Mario Land's bonus mini-game tune~

I thought I recognized it! I'm lovin' dat tune!

I love that piece of music.

@DestinyMan If that is the actual music, it's definitely a bizarre remix, as it sounds better suitted to a sonic game.
