Yeah, I'm beginning to give up on the hope of getting an "original series" 3D Mario game this generation. Which annoys me so profoundly because Nintendo seems more than happy to push out 4 and a half 2D Mario clones, along with a shit heap of other 2D platformers.

Not surprising given the release schedule of this year.

I'm still hoping there will be one more Mario title for the Wii U generation although things aren't looking great.

I think most fans would rather see metroid than mario in 2016. 3D world was an excellent game IMO so oh well.

There's still 2016-2018 because the Wii U won't be discontinued until then.

But in 2015 there's still quite a chink of Mario spin-off games:
1) Mario Maker
2) Mario Part 10
3) Mario Vs. Donkey Kong
4) Mario Kart 8 DLC 2

So it's not like they won't have more Mario shit out this year too.

I...don't get it. Bill Trinen is director of product marketing of NoA...surely he must know about the games Wiicube mentions. So why the hell does he make that claim? :unsure:
(or is this an accidental slip that all those titles are going to be delayed to next year?)

If this is just about non-spin offs...then I'm giving a slow clap to anime news network. Good going, guys. Hats of to ya. I mean, really...it really is news if nintendo is NOT releasing a mario game on any given year. :(

He does talk about Mario Maker later on in the interview, so I'm very positive he means a mainline Super Mario game.

I think "new" in this case means unannounced. So basically what we already know of is all we're getting in terms of Mario games this year.

Why? Mario (in my opinion) is the best video game franchise.

Because in everyone else's opinion creativity and originality ran out and the franchise is milked way too much in recent history.

C'mon...be serious. It's debatable whether or not it's the best franchise, but even if it is, it's not a good idea to keep pushing roughly the same idea every freakin' time. Give them a break and focus on something else. That time spent elsewhere will give them some time to think up something more creative in the future.

This.

The last we want is Mario to turn into Sonic. :ohnoes:

This.

But if Nintendo were to release a new Mario game then I'd like it to be an HD remastered version of Sunshine or 64 (although there's fans doing it but Nintendo will probably take it down or so).

I think Super Mario 64 has had its chance already, it was after all released for the Wii Virtual Console (emphasis on Wii since Nintendo can't figure out how to make a Nintendo 64 emulator work on the Wii U). And HD remastered version of Super Mario Sunshine would be very welcome, though unless Nintendo makes a new controller with analog triggers I don't believe they'll make that. :(

    cyberpunk at 4k without DLSS/fidelityfx *might* exceed 12gb

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but that game barely runs at native 4k
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think it was some newer games and probably poorly optimized PS4 or PS5 ports
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    they definitely will age better but i feel dlss might outweigh that since it looks about as good as native resolution and much less demanding

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    When I played Cyberpunk on my old 2080 Ti it sucked lol
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    AMD could introduce something comparable to DLSS but nvidia's got a lot more experience with that
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    least amd 7xxx has tensor cores which the previous generations didn't so there is the potential for AI upscaling
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They have FSR or whatever it's called and yeah it's still not great
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    so AMD seem to finally be starting to take AI seriously
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Oh yeah those new 8000 CPUs have AI cores built in that's interesting
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Maybe they plan on offloading to the CPU?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Would be kinda cool to have the CPU and GPU working in random more
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
