My last three answer's said , yes, then no and no. After seeing what everyone said about it at the Best buy event, I still say no, I am not disappointed.


You know I even made a thread asking those who actually played the game what they thought of it, and I don't remember anyone saying anything negative about it, from those who played it anyway. I'll double-check it though.

EDIT: Yep, only positive things from players, though one guy was wishing it was Galaxy, but he still had fun with it. Of course there was negative things being said and the whole "Super Mario Cats would be better on handheld!" nonsense, but only from non-players. Oh, and I never even gave my impressions on the game lol.

Also the whole top secret hype levels were just generated by fans themselves without Retro Studios hinting at something revolutionary. 

It is not so much that they care about the gfx but the fact that Retro can prove to developers the the little Wii U has some grunt in it they can exploit shouldthey put the effort into it.

Also nintendo fans alone will not keep the Wii U sustainable. If games look barely better than Wii games or old PS360 ports then no one outside of Nintendo fans will buy the console.

Yes because people bought Wii as graphics were big improvement over gamecube. Right? Can't believe you Nintendo fans are saying stuff like this. It is more hard to defend Nintendo with them than Sony/Microsoft crowd. 


The Wii wasn't targeted at core gamers and it also had a distinct advantage in that it had a unique new way to play games.. The Wii U is more targetted at the core gamer (hence the U part in the name) and they tried to use the controller to attract to the casuals, however this did not work. In order to get the core they must have enough content to suit the core, otherwise it will be another gamecube.

To repeat myself from earlier in the thread, I have yet to hear anything particularly negative about the game from anyone who has played it, and the one true way to disappoint me is to simply make a bad game.


Not really possible, I think. Even Sunshine, which to me was the "worst" Mario game, was still a good game. It just wasn't what I wanted in a Mario title. But a bad game? Not at all. I don't think Nintendo would ever make a BAD Mario game. In general, they don't tend to make much of BAD anything.


Super Mario Sunshine was the worst for me, too (I didn't even bother to finish it). Messing around in Delfino Plaza was far more enjoyable for me than actually making progress, and I'm not sure if I should praise or criticize the game for that. Other 3D Mario games always made me want to jump straight into the next level, because the meat tasted better than the bun. Good game regardless.

I don't remember a poll with five different options that had votes distributed so evenly. This means that Nintendo is doing it right and wrong at the same time.


I surmise that Nintendo is doing the wrong thing correctly. Vaguely like making an extremely good Metroid FPS.

I have always said that I would have liked it better if it hadn't been a Mario game. If it had been some new IP, starring a different character, with otherwise the exact same setup (minus Bowser and any other Mario charcters), it honestly would be a neat "clean up this mess" game. Hell, it could have even starred Stanley the Bugman from Donkey Kong III for all I care. But as a "Mario" title, it just wasn't what I wanted. It didn't feel "Mario". But yes, on it's own, not a "Mario title", it was still a solid game.

Even if you put a Snickers wrapper over a 3 Musketeers, it will still be a 3 Musketeers. Just throwing that out there!
