Sure horse riding is a dumb choice, but that Mario Sports game was the best part of the direct in my opinion. Let's just hope it turns out good and not trash, focusing on one sport (football) and making it great instead of trying to incorporate multiple sports in one game would be a lot safer...

I think it's quite possible they'll all just turn out mediocre, rather then if they just focused on making a Mario Strikers game and it would have been great.


One great experience is better than five shallow experiences.

Yeah but likewise five great experiences are even better than one great experience. They may all end up turning out well. Or even if only 2 of them do that would still be more than 1.

Couldn't resist.

But the horses were cute, your argument is clearly invalid.

Oh come on, do you think anyone would complain about a Yoshi using a Yoshi as his ride ? we know there are multiple Yoshis in the Mushroom  Kingdom, if you really don't want Yoshi to ride on another Yoshi then you could give him Poochy...

 

Seriously ?

Or you could, you know, have Yoshi run by himself without a rider? (:

that's fine, as long as we keep some context in this games...

You know what ? I agree, not because I find Horse Riding worthless (from the gameplay it looked similar to Mario Kart) but because it's HORSE riding. We are talking about Mario, why isn't there Yoshi Riding instead ? it'd be 10 times better. I don't care if Yoshi is a playable character, make him ride another Yoshi...

I'd prefer they ride on "Wiggers."

Horse Riding stupid? Have you ridden a horse? It's fun!

I have before. Several times actually.

 

It's fun. And the game itself in superstars looks fun as well. I simply thought it was a missed opportunity to not include some of the more well known sports.

Seems extraordinarily unlikely, though... just read that the soccer is 11v11 rather than the 4v4 in strikers....

The Tennis Section surely isn't going to be better than Mario Tennis Open.

Their is a dedicated Mario Golf game on 3ds already too, so that'll no doubt be better...

The Football section most likely isn't going to come close to Super Mario Strikers/Charged...

There was a Mario Baseball game on GC and Wii too...

Really I think 4 out of the 5 experiences they are going to offer will be inferior to products they have already released, 2 of which are available on the 3ds. The 5th is horse riding.

 

They've already done golf and tennis on 3ds, they should have just made a dedicated strikers or baseball game, I don't have high hopes at all the more I look into it and think about it... I was excited for it till I just learned that the football is 11v11.... it might be surprise me but I now expect it to be extremely mediocre.

even if they're inferior, realize each game costed 40/50 each.. this is 40 dollars for 5 games. No need to be perfect

I think you mean wigglers :P

 

thats actually a smart idea. They can also have a booster-like addition which makes the wiggler become red and go faster for a short period of time.

No they don't have to be perfect, but they have to be fun. One fun experience is better than five not fun experiences.



I'm actually really mad about Mario Maker 3DS not having ID search online courses.

I guess it makes sense in Japan where street passing really works but they turned the 3ds version for us into... well... garbage.

I live in a place where not many people have 3DS or if they do they don't take them outside.

It is odd, why would they choose to intentional make their game inferior? It's not like the feature requires power the 3ds doesn't have, they even said it's compatible with most courses created on the WiiU...
