Playing Mario Chase in Nintendoland with my son has already made the WiiU worth the price.

How old is he?


He's 5. After I posted that message, we played the Luigi's Mansion game and a few others, along with New Super Mario Bros. U. A great time was had.

My Wii data transfer got f*cked, though. I received an error message that even the Nintendo Customer Service line hadn't heard of. I still have all my VC and WiiWare games, but lost all my game saves. Not a huge deal, but still kinda annoying as there are some games I've put many hours into and now have to start over.

They're supposed to call me back with a solution, but I'm not holding my breath.
Games I Need: Bonk 3 (HuCard), Legend of Hero Tonma, Magical Chase, Soldier Blade, Super Air Zonk.

Sorry about your Wii U, Ark. :(

The Avoidable Death of Super Mario

This is why I am not in a big hurry to get a Wii U. I wish Nintendo would put more creativity in it's newer 2D Mario games, and I can honestly say that I am not at all excited to play the new Mario.

There's nothing wrong with my Wii U.

I was posting an article about retards who made problems with theirs.  Nothing says fail like killing the power while flashing a ROM.

anyway that article you posted made me want to punch things.


Quote from: Moron Who Wrote Article
When remembering the "classic" Mario games, each one stands out because of its style, not its gameplay, which has stayed virtually the same since day one.
This is false.  First off, Mario 1 had TWO games.  We just didn't get one.  They were identical, save the levels.

Mario 2 (Which I am sure this dipshit doesn't even realize isn't really a Mario game), was wildly different because it WAS NOT INTENDED TO BE A MARIO GAME.

Mario 3 was the defining moment of the Mario series... especially because SMW was basically Mario 3 with way better graphics.

AND NEW GAMEPLAY FEATURES NOT SEEN PREVIOUSLY SUCH AS:
Yoshi and all of his mongoloid offspring colors.
Srs as f*ck flying with a cape!
spin jumps
Ghost houses
climbing/punching
really annoying boss battles
saves!
Exploring secret levels as opposed to just secrets within the levels
New enemies not seen before on top of the shit you'd expect!


Quote
Imagine Super Mario Bros 3 with the same sprites as the original Super Mario Bros. It wouldn't feel the same.
No shit.  Imagine any game with different graphics.  Of course it won't feel the same.   Put f*ckin Mario sprites in a Megaman game and it won't feel the same.  Durrrrrrrrrrrrrr.


Quote
It would feel like a retread of what you'd seen and done before. Sure, there would be new enemies, but the world Mario was traversing wouldn't feel new
No it wouldn't feel like a retread.  Look at the Sonic game for NES that was made by some group.   It uses Mario 3 graphics but plays like sonic.

IT LOOKS LIKE MARIO 3 THOUGH SO IT SHOULD FEEL LIKE MARIO 3, RIGHT?

wrong.  f*ck off article-writer-guy.   The world would feel new if you slapped all the Mario 1 graphics into Mario 3 and still took players for a ride into the desert, up into the clouds, and off into giant land.  


Quote
and the Mushroom Kingdom should always look and feel different with each new entry in the Mario franchise.
Says who?  Some chucklef*ck on the internet?   This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard in regards to Mario.

Do they live in some f*ckin Matrix bullshit where the landscape morphs every couple of years and all of the organisms on the planet morph into new shit?

No.  They don't.  The Mushroom Kingdom got defined for real in Mario 3 and should never change from that.  


New Super Mario Bros U is like Mario 3 on cocaine.    When you see Lemmy's ship and then you stomp on his face, all of the $$ spent on the Wii U is immediately worth it.

The squirrel suit rules, the new enemies that popped up are fun, the levels are challenging and fun, and above all else IT FEELS LIKE A f*ckING MARIO GAME SET IN THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM THAT WE'VE COME TO KNOW AND LOVE SINCE MARIO 3.


f*ck this guy hard, with a cactus.

Next he's going to say Hyrule needs to be completely f*cking different aesthetically in every game.



I'd hate to see how this guy would fair in a game like Wizardry.

EVERY GAME HAS THE SAME WALLS THIS IS STUPID IT ALL FEELS THE SAME.


This is what happens when adults who fail at being young at heart start talking about games.    They shouldn't be allowed to talk.

Yeah, that article is bullshit. Plus, IMO, NSMBU is easily the best of the NSMB series. It's really, really great. And despite the fact that it doesn't exactly break the mold set by previous NSMB games, it gives me a similar feeling to the one I had the first time I played SMB3 and SMW.

I really do hope that the Wii U Mario is as fun as you guys are saying. I posted that article because it brings up feelings I have been having.

NSMB on the DS was an awesome return to form. The Wii incarnation kinda felt the same. The new 3DS game seems to be in the same exact style. The Wii U Mario also seems to be just an update on this theme. In the old days each new Mario game felt new. Super Mario Galaxy felt new. The Wii U Mario just seems like a rehash to me. Again, I hope I am wrong.

Well you have to remember, each new Mario game back in the day was coming along with drastic hardware upgrades (Mappers on the NES, all of the SNES hardware in general... etc).    Now that we're beyond that, we can just enjoy kickass Mario games.

It's funny, noone was this flustered about MegaMan being basically the same game since the first one...

So what happens if someone's internet goes down in the lengthy time it takes to download 4+ gigs which is needed simply to make the system go online? Bricked console?  The fact that the thing needs 4+ GB of data just for the OS is pathetic. Talk about bloated. Maybe if they sized that down to 200 MB or so it would be a lot snappier (the menu is supposedly pretty slow).

Losing internet != yanking power cord out because you want to tweet about how slow the thing is.   I'd imagine that if you lose internet but just let the thing sit there, eventually it will keep going.

My entire update took < 30 minutes.   The menu is not slow.
