It's a good thing I did that Mario Maker two-game pre-order deal. If eBay prices are any indication, that Mario 7-pin set is going to be hard to obtain otherwise.
I honestly don't like it. It's stiff and Mario looks like he's made of plastic. I prefer the original over this.
Nonetheless, that's still quite a feat programming-wise.
Sort of, I have an account but don't really post. Their Fungi Forum isn't the greatest (it's way better here) but they are an excellent repository of Mario knowledge, better than Mario Wiki in some respects. I've submitted information and corrections to the staff there if I ever see anything...
Not so much Mario Bros. (that's July 14), but that's a fair date if we're talking Mario and Donkey Kong exclusively.
Imagine if the US date happens to be March 10. ;D
While I began using the Wiki shortly after it was founded, I actually registered to make edits in 2007. MarioWiki is an amazing place and a compendium of vast Nintendo knowledge, with an active forum to boot, but themushroomkingdom.net is still my favorite place on the interwebs. :mario:
Re: What amiibos do you own?
I have Smash Mario, Gold Mario, Silver Mario, Smash Peach, Jigglypuff, and Shulk (at least two of each one). I plan to get both 8-bit Marios and Dr. Mario (basically anything remotely resembling Mario).
I switched back and forth between Mario and Dr. Mario for the first few months after release, but finally decided to main Dr. Mario. :drmario: I've mained Mario across all titles and Dr. Mario feels most like past iterations (plus I was THRILLED to have him return).
While I play as the Marios...
What's always irked me about these celebrations is that Nintendo always seems to overlook Donkey Kong. I mean, I celebrated 30 years of Mario back in 2011. Sure, it's 30 years of SUPER Mario from Super Mario Bros, probably the most monumental game of all time, but I still think the...
I used to pre-order Japanese Mario games just to play them before the American release dates. YOU HAVE NO IDEA :mario: :mario: :mario:
Sure, the M&S games aren't perfect, but they're hours of solid fun and that's all I'm looking for.
Re: M.C.'s "Mario Music" SNES Arrangement Gallery (*QUICK BULLETIN - POST #78*)
Hey Mer, just thought I'd say that I'm keeping up with this if you ever decide to release more music. Great job thus far! See you around, paisano!
Not sure how I feel about this. It might be taking the role of the player "assuming Mario" a bit too far. I think a lot of charm and precision would be sacrificed by looking through a camera instead of seeing Mario jumping around.
..Nah, as fun as Yoshi's Safari was, I can't see this working.
Re: Mario Kart 8
I really need to get back into playing this game. While I'm not too thrilled about all the non-Mario DLC characters, the new courses (especially F-Zero) are pretty amazing.
How did you guys like the Best Buy Mario Maker access event? I went yesterday and had a blast!! The game is sooo much fun, which isn't a surprise. :mario: Too bad I wasn't able to get one of those amazing yellow Mario lanyards though (my stores didn't get them :'().
Same, but you never know...It's always good to have confirmation. Ideally, we'll get a Shimomura/Tsujiyoko collab. :eekdance:
It does indeed sound like Shimomura, but not definitively. Like Yasunori Mitsuda, I own almost all of her soundtracks so I'm generally pretty good at distinguishing...
Glad to see Mario gets some love here! Believe it or not, most places I've been to, hardcore fans of Mario have been few and far between.
I honestly don't hate Luigi or anything, but I can't stand the majority of his fanbase. Most Luigi fans (not all!) believe that dissing Mario is a...
Thanks for the welcomes, paisanos! I'm glad to be here!
I thought you might! Ta-da!: http://s173.photobucket.com/user/Execute_Robot/library/The%20Ultimate%20Mario%20Fan%20TUMF%20Collection%20Gallery?sort=6&page=1
That isn't all of it (it's also kinda out-of-date), but it's most of it. My...
Personally, I think Nintendo should return to their Super Mario Land IP. It was an ingenious little series and there are so many ideas there that they haven't been using. Call me Herman Smirch, but I would love to fight characters like Tatanga, Dragon Zamasu, Nyololins, and Hyoihoi again.
Probably my main unpopular opinion is that Mario is the best character in the series, better than Luigi, Peach, Yoshi, etc. Most people don't seem to realize it but Mario as a character has actually become extremely underrated. Luigi, as an example, is overrated; people think no one likes him...
I sure hope so!!! It's been WAYYY too long since we've had a Mario Golf outing on consoles. The Mario Golf games are amazing spin-offs and sell well, so Nintendo doesn't really have anything to lose. C'mon Nintendo, listen to your fans!
Is this Dream Team?? BECAUSE I THINK I'M DREAMING O_O
WANT WANT WANT. CANT WAIT FOR THIS GAME!!!! Nintendo knows how to make me want games I didn't even know I wanted!
Anyone know if Shimomura's coming back?
Mario Pinball Land. Just...no. Fantastic idea ruined by a terrible, inexperienced developer. Even beautiful graphics can't save the game from its grating music, wonky physics, and humdrum gameplay. It's the only bad Mario game in my opinion (looking at you, Hotel Mario).
Nah, I think Mario RPGs are still going strong and are as fun to play as ever. Sticker Star was certainly a departure, but it was unique and innovative and sticker collecting was extremely addictive. I think if you expect Mario RPGs to all be incredibly similar to each other then you will be...
Does it really matter? I always think of Birdo as simply a retconned character. There's no sense in making sense of retconning, like how the Koopalings used to be Bowser's kids but they aren't anymore. Just go with what's currently canon.
I remember pre-purchasing this before it came out. I wanted a 3DS Dr. Mario so badly that I bought Dr. Mario Express across three systems. This game is awesome!! :drmario:
I will definitely be pre-ordering this!! We haven't had a console Mario Tennis since GameCube (Play Control doesn't count) so I can't wait for this!!!! I "LOVE" Mario Tennis! ;D
Thanks paisanos! I'm glad to be here. It really was only a matter of time until I decided to be active.
Quick question: One of these days, after posting here for a while, I would like to get my massive Mario collection up for display as a thread. Where would be the proper place to make a...
Re: The TUMF is in!
Ciao paisanos! :mario: I go by the moniker "The Ultimate Mario Fan," but most people just call me TUMF. Some of you might remember meI was a regular at the old original NSider Mario Board and I've been a member of MarioWiki (making various edits) since 2007. After NSider...
Yes, for sure. I've been wanting to have a show for years. I got so much out of the Super Show and all his others. I even wrote to a Nintendo Representative and he said that the idea must be more solicited by the people. :roll: The only reason why they may be hesitant is imagine if the show...
