Also, it's almost certain that the SMB2 Mush is their way of saying "No, SMB2 isn't gonna be a Style but here's some compensation for it." Though unless there's DLC with this being the "Final Update" it makes one think if the "Extra Game Styles" really was a mistake.

Phanto being a part of this update as well makes me wonder if they canceled plans for an SMB2 style.

 

[PeridotGX]

I wish they had made more character skins like Link. It was really cool how they merged the two series' gameplay, and seeing it done with something like Kirby, Splatoon, or Megaman would've been cool.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

wait so does that mean only the link skin is in SMM2 and..thats it?

 

[Shroob]

The update is mighty neat. Wish they had brought a couple more enemies back to mess around with, but seeing Phanto in the modern era is cool as hell(Granted, seeing SMB2 referenced at all outside of Shy Guys, Pidgits and Birdo is cool to begin with).

 

[ZephyrZ]

I thought MN2 was a little disappointing at launch. It was a good game, just not enough of an improvement over the original.

But that Course World feature seems like such an awesome update. Building my own world is something I'll definitely dip my toes in and probably give up halfway through when I realize how difficult making a variety of difficult levels is.

 

[SnakeFighter64]

Just when I thought I stopped caring, they bring me back in

Kind of disappointed that they didn’t make Mario 2 it’s own style. Mostly because that means we don’t get the enemies like Wart.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

It really sucks, that we couldn't at least get an SMB2 Style. The mushroom adds the mechanics of the game and we even got an enemy from it (hoping Shy Guys are in the next minor update), but it feels very bittersweet without that game's art style able to be shown. Hell, a SMB2 Style that just plays like SMB3 but you need the Mushroom for 2's mechanics would've been fine by me. Subcon is the Dream Land and it would fit SMM2's little night lullaby music well.

It’s that time again...

Also yeah I’m gonna have to pick up Mario Maker 2 soon

Man, April's nearing its end, and then May...


And finally, FINALLY in June, some good ****ing food.



Granted, that Animal Crossing datamine seemed hype as hell, wish I could get it lol.

 

[Wario Bros.]

I'm not surprised that Super Mario Bros. 2 didn't get a style. That game is way too different from SMB1/SMB3/SMW as it's missing nearly all assets from said games.

Super Mario Land 1 & 2, and Super Paper Mario would've have made much more sense.

Youtube recommended that to you today as well? Lol

 

[Will]

I have SMM2 and I only played it for 10 hours.

Not sure if it's the right game for me, honestly. Though the Goomba mask would be good for a MGS-themed stage...

June. Digital E3. And the debut of Dr. Coyle.

Seriously, she brings the most to the table compared to every other Arms character. She’s the game’s main villain and she’s got way more unique gameplay attributes than anyone else in the roster. It’s got to be her.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

The only reason I never bothered with Mario maker 2 is that there was no Megaman costume.

That's the only thing I ever used in the first game lol

 

[TheMightyP]

Can't wait for someone to make a Mega Man styled Boss Rush with the Koopalings + one extra.

Or go the MM1 route and they have to fight in a specific order with the final boss at the end.

I would’ve loved to see that fleshed out and have his own abilities.

Putting a villain before a protagonist is an interesting thought.

I still dunno who it is.

Hey. The protagonist is already an assist trophy. Plus, it’s not like, a rule that protag-kun always has to come first. Usually it makes sense, but in the case of Arms, it doesn’t really matter that much.

 

[Z25]

Just when I thought I stopped caring, they bring me back in

There’s a lot of great elements here but how did it take so long? Most of these were big feedback requests from the first game. It’s also really late in the games cycle now but I hope it helps bring life back.

What was the point of extra styles being a thing though?

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Even though they're all slated as "remasters", I still hope the 3D Mario remasters if/when they happen add some extra things. For 64 I hope they at least keep playable Luigi and Wario from DS. I can understand not adding Yoshi as he was the 100% reward in the OG and they want that nostalgic factor to be there.

For Sunshine, I'd like an actual proper Shadow Mario boss and maybe some more cutscenes or context regarding exactly how he spread entire lakes of goop around. Maybe we get like a flashback from Piantas who witnessed him doing things, becauae throughout Sunshine it's only ever scarcely implied he caused a ton of **** but we never see it happen, and when we actually face off with him he's practically a joke who flees the entire time. Shadow Mario is cool and he clearly has the ability to fly and teleport among other things, so just more of an expansion on that form would be cool.

For Galaxy... Oh boy. With the graphical updates maybe make it clearer that these are galaxies and planets and such. Take inspiration from Kirby's beautiful cosmic backdrops so that way we can actually believe we're traversing through a galaxy. Maybe if these are all tied together we can find a way to spice up BJ's boss fights via adding more projectiles to dodge in his airship fight via him spitting flames as well as pulling out the brush and flinging some graffiti at you. Maybe "Cosmic Mario" is shown to be a form BJ can become akin to Shadow Mario and that explains why losing to Cosmic Mario results in a death? Because Bowser Jr. is hindering your ability to progress and save the universe by nabbing a Power Star? Maybe more clarification on exactly who Rosalina is (this one is probably the most pipe dream-iest of all which is actually sad). Maybe since Captain Toad debuted here we could have like side-modes or missions involving a Galaxy-themed Captain Toad adventure.

As for 3D World... More clarification on why the Sprixie's are kidnapped instead of Peach or something because they're supposed to be relevant characters to the story but they don't even have dialogue to even give then character like the more forgettable 8-Bit character back in the day did. We don't even HAVE a story in thus game at all beyond "we gotta save them" when even the instruction booklets for the older games at least tried giving us a narrative. Beyond this, I half-expect Toadette to be shoehorned in somehow, even though chronologically she's helping Captain Toad during this game. Oh, yeah, they'll probably make her a selectable character for the Captain Toad stuff. As for the base game, If they did add a character, I could see Nabbit, Wario, Yoshi, or Daisy (most unlikely) being the sixth character.

And that's all I can think of rn

Kind of fair but if you programmed the biggest changed in Mario 2 which was gameplay, you might as well go the rest of the way

SMM2: new update.

Me: super mario bros. 2, baby.

game of the year, every year, baby.

edit: also, the Koopalings do get their own Super Mario World sprites; they have them in the Japanese video for the update.

 

[Will]

Huh, apparently oil is now less than a dollar a barrel. Wonder what's going on with that.

 

[Rizen]

I preordered the FFVII Remake. But the Gamestop I ordered it from closed due to the coronavirus so I'm up a certain creek without a paddle.

 

[TheMightyP]

I do hate the way the Mario Maker 2 updates were handled though. Unlike Smash, it's not like they tell us when to tune in for info or when the new update drops in, and unlike Splatoon, the stream of updates wasn't constant, so idk what they were thinking by putting it's new announcements in between both of those worlds and doing none of it right.

I thought the game was legit dead multiple because of how much in the dark we were.

 

[Mamboo07]

This remake of the Simpsons be looking good.

 

[Arcanir]

Reminder that Nintendo said that the 3DS wasn't getting replaced by the Switch anytime soon, and then shortly after, Pokemon announced that they've jumped the 3DS ship.


Too bad Alphadream didn't get the memo.

In retrospect it seemed like they wanted to use the 3DS as a safety cushion just in case the Switch didn't take off. They did the same thing with the GBA/DS when the latter first came out, and the 3DS got a good number of games for a system that should've been on its way out such as Metroid Samus Returns, FE: Echoes SoV, and Pokemon USUM. However, once the Switch actually made its mark you can see them starting to pull away with all of their major IPs moving to the Switch, and by the middle of next year the only thing it was really getting were remakes and smaller projects. Games like M&L BIS could've been stuck on their course and weren't able to pull out in time, so it ended up being an unintentional victim of the situation.

Looks like an Ice Age character.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

People are pointing out that a few details were hidden in the trailer, like On/Off Blocks in 3D World not being mentioned.

Yet during the Mushroom House segment, they show the power-ups Mario can get and the flower is blue. Even in tbe orginal Mario Bros and 3, the Fire Flower was like a blinking white and red, never blue.

So we may have the Ice Flower and other things they didn't bring up in the video in this new update.

Edit: Well the Fire Flower was actually blue on the roulette wheel but I still wanna have hope
