Look at it! Look at it! LOOK AT IT!

I can picture Wario shoulder tackling space pirates and getting devoured by Omega Metroids now.
I think you mean completely decimating the Omega Metroids, because Wario is too good.
 
I still have yet to find a convincing explanation for that animation.

It was the early Gamecube era.
CG cutscenes were a process at that point.

Luigi's Mansion looked fine.
Luigi's Mansion wasn't CG (or at least, not nearly at the level that that intro is at).
Also, for all we know, Hudson made that intro and not Nintendo EAD/whoever made LM.

Mario Party loves cutting corners.

They could have done a lot better with the CGI but I would like to point out Luigi's Mansion was a tech demo turned whole game, even by the end of that system's life it was still one of the most detailed games on the system.
 
Supporting that, Mario's model is higher resolution (more polys, bigger texture) than the other Mario's we'll be getting.

Still, Mario Party 4's cutscene was much worse than I remembered it. :/ Time is so cruel.

Mainly that, yeah. With N64 we had totally different cutscenes so this was really one of the first attempts. And sadly it didn't age well.
 
I know it's cheating a bit to show what is probably a fan made thing since this is mostly for official things and bootlegs but I just had to show this to everyone.

Thank you for the nightmare fuel. I was sleeping much too soundly.
 
Well it IS October
 
Good point.
Still pretty freaky though.
 
Ohhh, so it's a microgame prototype then? I wonder what Wario did to the last 13 or so Super Marios.

I'm sorry

what the actual *bleep* is this animation

The way the camera zooms into the characters while they grunt makes the earlier scene dramatic yet not-so-serious, which makes this all the funnier.

I wonder why Toad is doing the air quotes when he's talking about the Party Cube. That was weird.

Thank you for reading.
