Forums - Nintendo - Mario Sports Mix, not looking too hot

The game is sitting at a Metacritic score of 68 right now, that is a far cry from the 80s that the Mario sports games seems to have. From the reviews ive read, it seems the game is too shallow, not enough depth. While I understand it is hard to take a sports game and make it accesible and still have to have some kind of detail of the actual sport its emulating, the guys at Camelot made it look easy gen after gen, system after system. I was hoping it would fill the void that MarioTennis/Golf has left, but it seems that is not the case. Even with the online im gonna pass, it will probably do well anyway. This is a Mario game after all.

I probably don't know enough about MSM but I think it's more or less a fine example of wasted potential.

I mean, c'mon, a mixed-sports game with a Mario theme. Win! Oh, and let's put Final Fantasy into the mix as well. Major win! You can't screw something like that up, unless you're lazy.



Another one of these? Oh well, it may reach 10 mil regardless.

Yeah I played Mario 3 on 3 basketball... I saw this one coming from a mile away, they make really crappy Mario sports games, if they had given this to the Punch Out!!!/Mario Strikers team it would be pure win...

Next Level Games. Secret Level did work for Sega (made Golden Axe: Beast Rider, iirc), but they're gone now.



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

My bad...lol...Next Level Games is making Captain america for sega.



It launched this morning and we didn't sell a single copy all day.

Very dissapointing for a Wii game in terms of sales.



Square can't get RPG's right, what makes you think they could do a Mario title justice.



Pixel Art can be fun.
