Gaming New Super Mario Bros 2: Official Hype Thread

[RupeeClock]

I'm so glad I was turned off Star Fox 64 3D and Mario Tennis because of the demos(IMO they are 'meh' games which deserve bargain bin treatment), probably would have bought them otherwise and regretted it later. But yeah thinking about it more, I'm probably the minority.

Okay, Starfox 64 3D?
You're not getting the full experience from a demo, you have no idea what you're actually missing from it.
It's an arcade experience and the fun comes from all the various different paths you can take through the game, and improving your score with each run.

Mario Tennis I get because I tried it, and was very underwhelmed.

Well you're not the first to say that, one of my friends had it and pestered me to play it, when I said I didn't find it fun. Still didn't like it, I don't know why, it just didn't appeal to me.

I like how the video thumbnail is all you need to know where to go.

When the first NSMB came out, I went to a K-Mart to buy a DS lite and I was convinced to buy to buy it after playing a demo, same with the 3DS and pilotwings, and with my cousins Wii, and my brothers PS3. Like it or not, people go to stores and actually play demos and that usually affects their choice when it comes to buying it. Imagine it happens quute often seeing how the stores wouldn't continue to have the kisoks if nobody used them.

Re-read the question

I didn't respond to a question I just said your wrong if you think people don't walk into stores, play demos and buy games.

Hatless Mario is unlockable in this game?

Max out your lives counter until it displays three crowns instead of numbers.

Just do the 1up trick on World Mushroom-1, piece of cake.

Mushroom-1 was hard,i went with the 2-4 one.

Finally hit 1 million farming in World M-1. Is there really a 9,999,999 reward?

I haven't played this game yet, only seen trailers and read reviews. But so far from non-GBATemp-y places, it seems that the general consensus is that it's one of the worst Mario games to date, and it's a cash-in. Is it really that bad? Or are there some things that make it worth a buy?

I really dislike the "Jew Mario" idea, please say this isn't a core concept but is just an ordinary powerup, and not one the game revolves around...

Is Mario wearing a Kippah?

I actually like collecting all the coins. They're fun to get, you get a ton of lives sure, but the places they put them just makes it fun. For me when I'm playing, when I'm going across the level, and I see a ton of coins, I'm like "GET THEM ALL!" even if it means nothing, not going for the 100% of the game or anything, but just to collect a crap ton of coins.

Finally got a streetpass hit for NSMB2 today, two actually.
Two players called Nicole and Debbie, played the Mushroom pack. You don't see their record until you clear their challenge.
I challenged their records and did well, 10684 and 10624 respectively, they both played 1-A and 1-5, but then had a different fortress for each run.
Nicoles record turned out to be just 2090, Debbie scrounged up only 730. To make matters worse, they used White Raccoon Mario too.

I think they're gonna flip when they see my 30,000 coin rush record, haha.
I think I'll try their challenges as White Raccoon Mario, see if I can do better even with the handicap.
