Those fuckers probably would put Donkey Kong 64 on a N64 Classic, wouldn't they.

1080 was all Nintendo, you're probably thinking of Amped which was Microsoft's answer to 1080 and SSX.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii and New Super Mario Bros. U are worthy of standing among the best of the 2D Marios. NSMB DS is the bad one, NSMB 2 is the weird one. This I declare

I second NSMB Wii as a great game. I skipped the WiiU so can't say about the others.

Look on the bright side.



U is the best one, followed by Wii, DS and 2. 2 is not a terrible game but easily the worst mainline Mario game imo. The level design felt super boring and amateurish.

I think if I had to label any of the NSMB games as bad it would probably be 2. The level design in that one just felt strikingly uninspired, and in turn it kind of seemed like the coin gimmick was trying to almost distract you from it.

2 didn't really click for me until I realized that it was a score attack game rather than a more typical platformer.

Yeah, Coin Rush is definitely the best part of the game. The challenge mode in U is still better though.

It works fine on the Pro controller in the full game, but I still get uniformly owned by any real human players and don't have the desire to practice to get better. But hey, thanks Gamefly for letting me try it out I guess.

This is quite the hill to die on Holmes.

The guy who originally posted that "Rhythm Heaven is cancelled franchise and also no Mother 3 in the US ever" article last week just came out with another one after Yoshio Sakaguchi flat out said no. Like he wasn't even coy about it he straight up said "No the franchise ain't dead."

Anonymous Source posted:

"But it's certainly possible that Sakaguchi has plans for a new Rhythm Heaven game, and that it's been greenlit behind closed doors, but if so, I haven't heard anything about it. I suppose they could port some of the levels from past games to mobile, which is a project that I assume they could throw together in a few months in Japan, without involving Nintendo of America at all. Or they could go forward with the series without Tsunku, but that wouldn't really be Rhythm Heaven anymore, at least in my opinion. Either way, I hold true to my original statement that the Rhythm Heaven series looks dead from where I'm standing. That doesn't mean it couldn't be brought back to life someday, but I'm not holding my breath. "

"It's dead but that doesn't mean it couldn't be brought back to life" is the strongest of all takes. Definitely worthwhile.

I kinda wanna know what the embargo for Rabbids + Mario is. I'm getting FINAL BOSS videos from places I assume have review copies and places like Gamexplain went on a huge binge of videos the other day showing various bosses off.

Yet no one is allowed to show review for some reason?
