I don't understand why people are getting upset over the release of all these Mario games. They're not bad games, and Mario is the most successful franchise out there, so what's the big deal?
It doesn't matter to me. I like good games so I don't mind all the Mario. And a lot of people here are saying cut down on Mario and bring out the other franchises. Why not both?
Honestly, I wish they would've stuck with the 3D platform game. This game has some of the most annoying level design ever. Collecting those coins and then dying at the end of the level is the worst, because you have to start over and grab them again. And it's always from a cheap death too, like a pit you didn't know was filled with spikes, or an enemy you didn't see until the last second. Not to mention Max himself moves like a tank and can't jump too high. And worse it's 9 dollars, which is way to much for a game like this.
I'm all for challenging games like Meat Boy, but this game can be cheap and annoying. I agree with SteveW on that I would've given this a 6 or 7. Such a disappointment. Should've gotten Pushmo instead. :/
Now people are saying the camera in Mario Galaxy was worst then this game...Now I can't take some of you seriously anymore.
The camera in the first game wasn't perfect, but it didn't cause deaths and was tolerable. The camera in Galaxy 2 has the most perfect camera out of all the platformers I've played.
Nope. There's plenty of games (along with tv shows and movies for that matter) I loved as a kid that I have gone back to play/watch recently and I found that sucked. Most notably the Sonic franchise. Examples like Sonic Heroes, Shadow the Hedgehog, Sonic Riders and Sonic 1 (didn't suck just was bored). Nostalgia doesn't cloud my mind.
The thought that some people actually want to give this game a 9/10 just makes me want to bang my head against the wall. I think some of you need to play this game again. Nostalgia clouds so many peoples heads on this site.
I agree with Mully. Just because the game has a linear map system doesn't mean that hub worlds are dead. For future games I hope they combine Galaxy 2's hub with 64's. A big open world to explore and interact with characters, but all the levels in one place so you can boot up the game and start conquering levels immediately.
Minish Cap is a must. They better release that one. Would also like to see Super Star Saga, and the Mario 2 remake. Don't really care what the other 2 are. I'm sure I'll enjoy them.
This sucks. I wanted to try the Last Story. oh well. @61: Has a really good point though. The only thing that kept me from buying those games is lack of money and a job.

Re: E3 2012: Wii U Pro Controller Offers More Options
The 360 controller is great. Glad Nintendo modelled this new CC Pro after the xbox gamepad.
Re: Retailers Call for Summer Blockbusters
Yeah this is true. Too many games to buy in November, especially if you multiple consoles.

Re: Rumour: Wii U Components Cost $180, Will Retail at $300
You're silly if you think the Wii U will be less powerful than the PS3 and 360. What sense would that make?
Re: Rumour: Wii U Components Cost $180, Will Retail at $300
I hope this is true.
Re: Get a Free Farming Simulator 3DS Demo, Europe
Will I need to play Farming Simulator 2011, 2010, and 2009 to be able to enjoy this?
Re: Mutant Mudds Demo Coming This Week
This would've been helpful last month. You know, before I wasted my money on this game. >_>

I'd buy this.
Re: New Pokémon Game to Be Announced in January
I hope it's Gray for 3DS. White bored me a long time ago.
Re: Miyamoto: "Retro Could Work with Nintendo on Zelda"
I would love this, but they should atleast make an original IP first.
Re: 3DS Ambassador Game Boy Advance Games Revealed
Minish Cap AND Fire Emblem?
This is the best day ever.

Re: Review: Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (GameCube)
Score is to high. This game is one of the most overrated games of all time. This game sucks. I don't know what people see in this.
Re: New 3DS eShop Puzzler from Fire Emblem Team Revealed
@3: IS only programmed the game. Nintendo R&D1 designed the game itself.
But this game looks great. Hope it comes to America.
Re: Zelda: Four Swords is Out Now in Europe and North America

Re: Talking Point: The Five Remaining GBA Ambassador Games
