    Now that I see it is Wii bound instead I guess this will be an exscuse to buy a Wii.

    You must understand that this is an RPG, not a traditional Mario game.

    When you kill enemies, HP numbers pop up, and there appears to be no variable movement speed in this video (or others that have surfaced).

    But whats the 1 button used for then?! I'm pretty sure if its not a run button I'll still probably hold it down constantly anyways.

    It is the next logical step in making the controller work like the movements people made while NES games. I mean they already have the tilt sideways to turn in driving games... shaking furiously to run makes too much sense...

    I know, its just, after NSMB I crave a NNSMB, and this could fill the bill if it is more platformer than RPG.

    Paper Mario is such a wonderful thing.

    And I hardly see why Muse is complaining that this game isnt on the gamecube, and instead is merely coming to the wii, THE LAND OF WONDEROUS MYSTERY AND BEAUTY!

    Seriously though, the game has the potential to be better than it would be if it were on the cube.

    I think the GameCube was a great system, and its seen a fitting end. Its probably all in its grave, thinking "IM NOT REGRET!"

    Really.

    Fuck it. This was promised for the GameCube. Which, thanks to this asshole decision, is the last Nintendo console I buy. I stuck with this dumb purple box from day one and this is the thanks I get.

    Fuck you, Nintendo. If it takes you a fucking year to create a platformer from reused Paper Mario sprites, I don't have much faith in your long-term viability.

    You got what, a bunch of good games?

    And the Wii is obviously going to be way bigger than the cube. Its clear at this point that its going to be a more significant part of the current generation. Your loss, I guess.

    Maybe you just speed up as you hold the D-pad button down for longer... Sonic style.

    Or maybe you move at a fixed speed.

    Nobody will know until we get more details of the game. So it's not really worth worrying about.


    Oh yeah, and I'm upset this isn't on the NES. Damn. I assumed it would be.

    The 1 button probably activates the 2D-3D shift.

    I was kind of hoping they'd make it so you could also, like shift the Wiimote in that direction and the world would shift.

    I'd like to see how this plays with the added waggle stuff. To me, a game like this seems like it really has no need for it, but I'll reserve judgment until I actually play it.

    While I don't blame Nintendo for putting it on the Wii (it is their new system, after all), I will be pretty upset if the game was delayed simply to add waggle if the waggle turns out to be rather pointless.

    This is what happens when new consoles come out and replace old consoles.

    It has been happening since new consoles have been coming out.

    This is not the first time.

    No but for real, you're being a whiny little bitch. Go join TM in the girls' bathroom, have a nice cry.

    Nintendo doesn't owe you shit. Just because they want to do one thing with a game, doesn't mean they can't change their mind and do something (they think is) better.

    Yes, Nintendo has surely fucked us over. What with their high, $250.00 cost of the console (with a game) and their $49.00 cost of games. Never mind the fact that one could buy a Wii AND 3 games for about the same price as JUST a 360 ($400.00 for the premium), we're all being fucked harder than Rin Tin Tin at a furry convention.

    From IGN's preview, the 1 button is probably for using items SMB2 syle. We already know that A switches between 2D/3D, and character switching doesn't sound like a face button-critical task. I'd expect it on B.

    Too many whiny assholes in this thread. Releasing it on the Wii actually opens it up to a LARGER consumer base than the gamecube, unless you think that demand for the wii is suddenly going to stop before it sells 10 million. I realize that the Wii can play gamecube games, but people don't always make that connection, stores might not stock it with wii stuff where people can find it, and you'd have to buy a gamecube controller anyway.

    Nintendo doesn't owe you shit. If you didn't get enough enjoyment out of the gamecube, then you might as well start shooting up heroin now, because no new release is going to make it worth it for you.

    Frankly, I really want to know if that bongo racing game is still coming out, because that DEFINITELY has to be for the gamecube...probably.
