You would think differently if it were called Mario and His Blob.

I sometimes wonder why I bother to put try and write my posts in a way to subtly hint at a point when no one ever seems to get it. Perhaps one day I will meet a person who can read between the lines and actually follow my fairly simple, and elegant points.

We have seen all of 3 levels of the game, and maybe 5 minutes of multi-player game footage. The multi-player looks extremely similar to LBP (a game I notice you own) which I doubt many (yourself included) would call boring or lax. There is hardly anything known about the game, and yet you seem to know which games are better already. Perhaps you should wait until we have at least a decent amount of information before you start making claims about the game? While it may just be an opinion, it is one that is extremely ill-informed due to a severe lack of information. This could be the best 2D platformer ever and they only showed the worst levels (extremely unlikely).

6. It took a lesson from LittleBigPlanet
4 player coop and coopetition? Definitely took a lesson from LBP

You forgot that one

I don't enjoy 4 player co-op in LBP. It's a mess, the most I ever played was 2... as for gameplay, it can get lax... but the level editor makes up for that.

I can wait till I say what's better - but I suggest everyone else waits with overhyping it... as you do not know what to hype either.

Your face is absurd.

Little Big Planet is awesome, but not even close to Mario, neither quaity or sales

and for god's sake, what's the point of that sig, it's disturbing :  P

I am not saying the game will be the best thing since sliced bread, or that the co-op will be perfect or even fun. Your comments, however, are completely baseless and that is my problem. I am always against over-hyping any game (save Treasure titles) because every developer can disapoint. At the same time a companies past track record should act as measuring stick for future performance. Nintendo does amazing things with platformers. Lines like "it should have been better," are needlessly antaganistic, and borderline trolling honestly. If you want to go against the hype train you should at least bring true statements that would not just get cast aside as basless attacks. Otherwise you are doing nothing but bumping a thread and helping spread the hype.

I'm trying to find the funny, but it's not there.

Looks like a good game.

That is my thread contribution over.

I am just not much of a 2D gamer at all, I think NSMBWii will probably be one of the best 2D experiences out there, but I am not super hyped for it, especially given that I won't be able to buy this less than full price for another 5 years or so.

Ya, but I'm here to nitpick: what about ma on-line multiplayah mode?
