(looks like a mix of in-game engine + cut-scene - might be 100% in-game?)

Wow.

...

(for some reason, the movie quality itself is poor - jumps, shearing, cuts... I hope Nintendo releases a better quality version at some point. But it's still a "must watch" IMO..).

Mario Sunshine intro - eat your heart out...

it is freaking amazing.. definitely the best start out of the four mario games that have had intros (including nsmb)

beautiful, thank you so much

Bowser looks great, but with the crappy quality of the video I cant really comment on anything else. Still looking forward to SSBB more.

Damn!!!! If only this used the Gamecube controler!!!! I can't wait to get my habds on this game. I wish they would do a 12am launch like Halo.

Already a thread about this, sorry. Besides...IGN's video isn't very good hehe. See either the original Japanese site with other videos, or the Gametrailers video in this thread: http://vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=7865

Best Mario intro ever. That includes the FMV intro from Melee, it beats it because this is obviously in game. As far as I can tell it's a fully interactive intro.

The video looks interesting, but too bad the quality sucks. After that video was finished some of the GC 2007 ones started to play and they looked pretty good. The one major thing wrong with the game is the crappy character models, i don't understand why they don't use the ones from Brawl, or atleast try to match those ones.
