xg4bx Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Damn good reviews, unfortunately lack of funds prohibit me from picking it up this week http://nintendoeverything.com/super-mario-3d-world-reviews-roundup/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldenegg Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 It really is a stupid time for them to have released this and the new Zelda. Neither game is getting the attention they deserve due to the PS4 and XB1 launches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I'm gonna get it, even though I could not finish Super Mario 3D Land for the 3DS due to it being horribly hard. And I'm not getting a PS4 or XBone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Awesome but I'm behind on Nintendo stuff, it can wait. I didn't like the 3DS version (Land) but this looks great and I'll get it eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I pre-ordered it in full and am looking forward to picking it up this weekend. It's looking wildly inventive, I am sure it is going to be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimefighter Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 Add the next Donkey Kong Country sequel for the WiiU.... The problem with the PS4 and the XBOX 720 is that they are not backward compatible...meanwhile Best Buy is buying used PS3s and 360s for $100 each, I haven't seen a $100 PS3.

Bilnick Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 This comes from Amazon the same day as Xbox One. It is going to be a fun weekend! The good thing is Mario can be played on the controller while my son and I mess around with the Xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 The reviews do look excellent. This is the kind of exclusive stuff that's going to make people (me too) want to get a Wii U! The 3DS version is so fun that I bought a 3DS XL because of it. That's true that releasing it at the same time as the Xbone and PS4 means it's not getting the attention it deserves. I guess they thought they'd try to compete for some attention those systems are getting??? Nintendo's having a real battle with marketing, this time. Turning out great games like this should help. I wonder if this is THE 3D Mario game for the system, or if they'll have another in the style of Super Mario Galaxy, too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegularGuyGamer Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I must admit that I watch an embarassingly large amount of Nick at Nite so I see commercials for WiiU, Mario 3D World and Zelda ALBW a couple times per day. Although xBONE seems to be advertised on the major networks like FOX a lot more. I'd love to see some HD remakes for Wii and GCN games like we saw on the PS3. How dope would it be to get Mario Galaxy1&2 HD and Mario Sunshine HD? Either way, Mario 3D World looks amazing. I loved 3D Land but fell short of 100%ing the game by a few gold poles and Luigi finishes so Im really looking forward to seeing 3D World through 100%.

Rex Dart Posted November 20, 2013 Share Posted November 20, 2013 I'm gonna get it, even though I could not finish Super Mario 3D Land for the 3DS due to it being horribly hard. And I'm not getting a PS4 or XBone. Don't worry, there's a Kirby game on the way for 3DS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colecovision Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I've played for about an hour and finished world 1. The graphics are amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xg4bx Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) It's an incredible game, easily my favorite out of all the core Mario titles. It's pretty much a ''greatest hits'' featuring nods to every Mario game. Edited November 24, 2013 by xg4bx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariFriend Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 It's an A+ title for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wickeycolumbus Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Had the chance to play it with some friends this weekend, great game! It definitely feels different from other Mario games though, almost a different genre with the multiplayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I played a few levels earlier today. Was hooked instantly! It plays like a dream, and you are essentially thrown right into the game after the first (small) intro. Great stuff so far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrizzLee Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Bought it. Haven't seriously played a Mario games since N64. This one blew my mind. What a fantastic homage to the entire series. It has theme park feel to it so far. Makes me realize what I love about video games. Who needs realism and first person shooters. LOVE IT!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGameCollector Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 (edited) I watched Mike from Cinemassacre's first time playing video and the game looks really cool. Like him I really think all those new Mario's since the first DS one are great fun and not stupid cookie cutter games. This one is like taking the best of all those + 3D Land, adding stuff and then boosting the visuals to HD to top it off. All these games have the same art style making them look alike, but you really have to play each one to see how it differs from the rest. I think the whole cat Mario thing is pretty cool too, because Mario could never just climb up walls in such an easy way before. The only thing it doesn't have are the Koopalings and Bowser Jr., but we see plenty of them now and aren't missing them like we used to because the NSMB series keeps them active as they should be.

Tempest Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 I've been playing it since Saturday and I love it. My only complaint is that the levels (with a few exceptions) are too easy. Still, it's good fun. I knew I got a Wii-U for a reason. The guy who rang we up at the GameStop was looking at the back of the box saying that he was sorry he sold his Wii-U now and was going to have to get another one to play this.

That makes me laugh. Why buy a console right away if you're not going to be patient waiting for good games to come out? If you need 3-4 good games before you pull the trigger, being an early adopter isn't for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xg4bx Posted November 25, 2013 Author Share Posted November 25, 2013 After a bit more time with the game I'd dare say that this is the Wii U's ''killer app''. While I've enjoyed the console since launch this is the first game that's made me think ''holy crap, I'm glad I have this console''. And next year with DK, Smash, Mario Kart, and Bayonetta methinks the fun won't end anytime soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Too easy?! I needed to be invincible to beat world 1. And that was after I managed to find 10 green stars, which wasn't easy. Took me 70 freaking minutes to beat level 1. If you find it too easy, please come over to my house and beat it for me. This is without doubt the hardest Mario game I have ever played. So it sucks.

Tempest Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 I'm up to world 5 now and it's still way too easy. I think there were two levels that gave me a challenge (that one with the moving gates was evil!) but the rest were too easy and too short. Still, I'm loving this game.

Yeah, that's the thing--it's been really easy so far, but still a ton of fun. Strange how that works out. I am betting the Star World (or whatever is equivalent to it in this game) will be what offers the real challenge. We'll see. Currently I am up to World 5 myself.
