The Next Mario Installment

Link47 · 09-15-2002, 04:39 PM

Do you think the next mario installment for the cube will be like Mario 64 and SMS, in the sense that you go around collecting stars/shines? Or do you think they will take it back to just running through a level?

I personally want to go back to running through a level, because doing a bunch of tasks is kinda boring after a while.

Dunno. Either one mode or the other is fine with me. I actually like the collecting one better, because you can do more with it. Sort of like DK64.

Yeah, I think the collecting ones are better. But if we're really lucky, we'll see another RPG.

Yeah, but the collecting thing can also be way over done like in the Banjo games.

Well, since Mario 64 set the precedent for 3-D action games, I don't expect we'll be seeing any change, perhaps until the next-gen system. If they do come up with a different way to work things, it'll be a safe bet that it will be something totally new.

Hopefully Miyamoto comes up with some new innovative new way to play a game that he always does.

I personally believe that a mesh of RPG elements should be thrown in every game for more customized characters. And the "scavenger hunt" facets of games gets really repetitive. Banjo Kazooie was fun but so frustrating that afterwards I felt like pounding a nail in my head.

I really really really hope it's not like DK64.

I didn't think Banjo-Kazooie was frustrating, but DK64 most definitely is. Getting 100% is a *****! I'm not even that close. After many tasks are completed, you find yourself saying, "glad that's over." But I don't know why we're complaining. These games are SO much easier than the old platformers. Those were a challenge.

Whatever the next Mario is like, it better have Luigi in it!

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, Miyamoto! I'm-a right over here!"

09-18-2002, 09:37 PM

Well said!

My biggest problem with the 3-D platformers is that they're too easy. When they ARE hard, they're not good-hard, like most 2-D games, they're fruserating-hard.

yeah another RPG would be really nice.

11-28-2002, 10:23 PM

Well, to me, frustrating-hard and good-hard are the same thing for some reason. And another RPG would be cool. But I did get 100% on DK64 and I'm proud of it!

Speaking of Luigi, did anyone notice that there have been ZERO 2-player 3D platformers with the exception of some games that included a battle-mode.

11-29-2002, 11:44 AM

Meh. I just want one in fewer then 6 years.

A Genius · 11-29-2002, 04:28 PM

Actually, frusterating hard is when you have a completely unfair time limit to do something horribly time consuming or something unfair like that, like Security Hall in Sonic Adventure 2. Good hard is a hard part, where you know it's your fault you died, where I can think of no examples.

11-29-2002, 10:31 PM

Well, I define "Frustrating Hard" as "Good Hard", not "Unfair Hard".

Oh. That actually made more sence than what I said. Pretend I said that.
