Gaming New Super Mario Bros 2: Official Hype Thread

[VMM]

Wasn't there something like 10 announcements? And most of those wer triple A titles, if I remember correctly...

No, all the titles were previously announced, there wasn't a single annoncement

Eh, that's a real nitpicky technicality, in my opinion... the point is, they showcased for the first time a bunch of footage from 1st party games, regardless of whether they were announced before. Pikmin 3 was announced in 2008, and people still consider it the highlight of Nintendo's main conference.

At the 3DS conference, we had Castlevania 3D, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Illusion, Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Poke'mon: Black/White 2, New Super Mario Bros. 2, and Fire Emblem. Granted, Pokemon is a DS title, and Epic Mickey, NSMB2, and Fire Emblem had footage showcased before, but that still leaves at least 2 big titles that had footage showcased for the first time (Luigi's Mansion and Paper Mario). I'm not sure how much more there was to ask... plus, we've recently got footage of other games on the eShop (Transformers Prime: The Game, for example). Plus we've had quite a few great games come out this year, thus far.

I can't speak for anyone else, but that left me largely satisfied. Anyway, back on topic...

The topic is a little dead, wait untill the release comes closer, then this will be getting more active
The thing is, all those games are good indeed
but there was nothing surprising or chocking for 3DS,
that made people rethink of buying the console
We had info about these games a long time ago
Luigi Mansion and Paper Mario are already late
If they showed something surprising like
Yoshi on NSMB, or DSi XL, or a new first party game for 3DS
like a new DKCR, or a Kirby, Metroid, Mother...

And who did it make rethink buying the console? I personally never heard of someone saying, "Darn it! I heard of these awesome unreleased titles MONTHS ago! I sure as hell don't want a 3DS now because I already know about these awesome games!" lol.

But I agree, I was really hoping for a new Metroid 3DS.

When I say about rethinking, I'm talking about
people that did not buy the console because there were no interesting games for him/her,
but with one or some announcements this person becames interested in buying one.

Bam...

 

[TripleSMoon]

Hm... I'm guessing the 50 second time limit is from some challenge or "special world" mode? Pretty cool. The "10 second clock collecting" levels in the special worlds of SM3DL were my favorite.

I think it's part of coin rush

 

[broitsak]

That's kind of you but how's he going to play it with no thumbs?

 

[TripleSMoon]

That's kind of you but how's he going to play it with no thumbs?

How do YOU know he doesn't have opposable thumbs?

Ill grab Mario Land 2 since that's the best gameboy title IMO
