I thought Mario Bros was competative.

 

Just like the new game it could be played either way.

 

Some of my favorite moments playing that game were when the friend I played it with all the time and I started playing it one way, but ended up playing another (either we were co-oping and someone screwed up, resulting in the alliance disintigrating, or we were competitive, but then were both fighting so hard to stay alive that we forgot we were suppose to be after each other).

KHuutra just back off.Causal to me is making games for kiddey dumding it down more a new audience.

Look, if you don't want to continue the conversation, you're free to leave the topic at any time. I'm not going to drop this point, in this topic, until you explain to me how adding co-op to a non-casual series makes it casual. You say co-op isn't casual. You say Mario isn't casual. Yet you say adding co-op to Mario makes it casual!

How can this be?

 

Co-op IS a casual feature. It allows inexperienced gamers to join their more core friends to work together and beat the game. Plus just the idea of playing with a group of people is something that would be more attractive to a "casual" gamer (i.e. casual gamers don't tend to like playing games alone). So yes, this is a casual feature, but that doesn't mean it can't appeal to hardcore gamers as well.

 

 

I dissagre. I dont consider Left 4 Dead casual and thats coop.

Seems to me here a lot of the people who dont care about this game are not Wii fans. I mean some guys selling his Wii and comes in here saying he wont be getting it. I mean LMAO. Then some other guy, sony fanboy, goes off about he dont want it because all the PS3 games are better. I would think the OP's question was for Wii fans that dont want the game. If your not a Wii fan then why would you care anyways?

Day one perchase for me.

Left 4 Dead is not casual, but the co-op feature within it has the effect of including casual gamers that wouldn't normally try the game if it were single-player only. That is, they would be willing to try the game if it meant playing with a more experienced friend. A co-op feature will not instantly change a harcore-content game like Gears of War or Left 4 dead into a casual game, but it does open up the game to more people.

As for NSMBWii, the co-op feature will no doubt do the same thing and moreso than a game like Left 4 Dead, because the content is casual-leaning in the first place. There is no doubt that Nintendo has purposfully intended to use co-op as a way to attract casual audiences.

 

Edit: i just read your post more closely and we agree, Left 4 dead is a core game.

Hardcore and casual has diffrent definitions for almost everyone.

Still i think the best games out there are core games that casuals can play and have fun with them too. Left 4 Dead is one and i hope NSMBW will be another.

Does Super Mario World 2 not count as a console 2D mario game?

This is the only game that Nintendo is making that I have to have on day one.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

YES!  This is why I loved that game... and it's exactly the same thing I expect to happen in New Super Mario ^^  Going to be so much fun.

I am only interested in this game because it has co-op.

NSMBWii is my most anticipated game. I'll probably get it first day. I've wanted a new console 2D mario for so long, there is no way I'm passing up this one.

I also don't understand why 4 players is a bad thing. That's making me want it even more.
People that say 4 players is bad are probably lonely people that have no friends lol.

Thanks for outing yourself as casual gamer.


I never know if you're serious or not anymore. Either way that made me laugh.

I don't really see the logic in having an emphasis on multiplayer meaning the single player will somehow suffer. I am mainly getting the game for the single player, but I like the concept of multiple players at once (one reason I really like the Donkey Kong Country series).

Personally, this is my most anticipated game yet besides Smash Bros. Brawl, so I will definetly be picking this game up. 2-D Mario bros. is what got me into gaming.
