Nintendo Penguin Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Hi, Am I the only Nintendo Loyalist out there? (I love Atari too, but I hate XBOX) Anyway, is anyone else buying Super Mario Sunshine on Tuesday? VintageGamer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Am I the only Nintendo Loyalist out there? (I love Atari too, but I hate XBOX) Anyway, is anyone else buying Super Mario Sunshine on Tuesday? I'll be buying it also and I'm sure many others here will be picking it up. Watching someone play it in a store a few days ago reminded me quite a bit of Mario 64, but with better graphics. I had a blast playing Mario 64 and I look forward to spending countless hours playing Sunshine! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCold Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 If I only had a Gamecube... . Well let me know if it ends up being a good game guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oesii Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 I'm with Ice, wish I had a gamecube but I would buy Mario Sunshine if I had one, looks very good from the import impressions. I'm not a big Nintendo loyalist but the Mario and Kirby games are usually top notch on all their systems. I especially like the gameboy ones. A couple of more good releases and I'll probably pick up a gamecube, at only $150 its a good deal but I feel a little obligated to go through all the 250 games I have for the Dreamcast first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdstuff64 Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 Man,how could I NOT buy it?I'll be getting that on Tues. and SOCOM on Wed.Too bad I don't have the $$$ to get Monkey Ball too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liveinabin Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 It always bugs me that to like Nintendo (which I do) then it's assumed that you want Mario games. I think I've jumped over enough primary coloured objects now. I'll sit this one out:) For what its worth (which is AMAZINGLY little:) ) I'm not going to bother with Zelda either. Enough sequels, lets have something genuinely new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubersaurus Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 My friend has the import, and the game is FANTASTIC. You'd be missin out if you have a cube but not gettin this. I don't have a cube ;p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggerthehun Posted August 25, 2002 Share Posted August 25, 2002 I'm leaning towards picking it up - with Super Monkey Ball 2... haven't bought myself anything lately, for that very reason. Although the schoolhouse rocks box set comes out on tuesday as well, so one of those might have to sit out for a while. I've been reading the reviews at gamefaqs.com, and will make a decision after reading a few more today. Dunno, they both look pretty darned incredible!!!

Nintendo Penguin Posted August 26, 2002 Author Share Posted August 26, 2002 Hi, I just got back from Gamestop a few hours ago. The Manager said that he was going to pick-up their shipment at the airport tomarrow, and that I could come in and pick it up a day early if I wanted. I will let everyone know what I think tomarrow afternoon. Also, he said that they would be sold out until sometime after labor day.... I am glad I reserved this one.

Paul Slocum Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 I can't wait. I might even see if I can get it at Walmart at midnight. Mario 64 is one of my all time favorites. -paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holygrailvideogames.com Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 Nintendo is going to release the Gamecube with Mario and a memory card for about $185 in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 I'm definitely going to buy it. Since the days of the 2600 on to today, I've always been a game h0 100. So count me in on that Mario goodness! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Sauron Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 I definitely plan on buying it (along with Super Monkey Ball 2), but not on Tuesday. I have to wait a bit before I can get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyXB Posted August 26, 2002 Share Posted August 26, 2002 In germany it will released later (don't know when in the moment, I think in november). But then I will maybe buy it, when I have money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gunstar Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 Hi, Am I the only Nintendo Loyalist out there? (I love Atari too, but I hate XBOX) Anyway, is anyone else buying Super Mario Sunshine on Tuesday? VintageGamer YEP! The first Tuesday...AFTER HELL FREEZES OVER!!! I am sooo G*d da*mn sick of MARIO. I really wish Nintendo would find a new mascot. I got bored with Mario after the original Mario Bros. on my 2600!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGurl Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 So for those who bought it yesterday, how is it? Is it worth $50? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendo Penguin Posted August 28, 2002 Author Share Posted August 28, 2002 Hi, Okay here the deal with sinshine.... on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the highest, I give it an 8. The game is pretty fun, and I am sure I will enjoy it for quite a while, but every once in a while the camera angle really bugs.... also, the characters in the game should speak rather than using text. All in all Nintendo did a pretty good job. There is even some music and bad guys from the original super mario bros. and mario world. Also, this game could have used a two-player mode.

Miles Tails Prower Posted August 28, 2002 Share Posted August 28, 2002 I don't have a Cube and dont plan on getting one which means... guess what.... NO MARIO SUNSHINE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
