New Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Trailer [12 January 2021] (Good Vibes Gaming Analysis at Threadmarks)
- Thread starter Wonderrade
- Start date
Eh, I don't think anyone wants to buy a Wii U game anymore outside of collectors.
This definitely looks like the roguelike described. I imagine these lion stars or whatever are randomly placed in the level, you're racing against the timer for Bowser to spawn, if you don't get them all before he does you have to deal with his crap, once you finally get them you grow and fight him. I just hope there's enough variety between runs.
Wait... Toad has a blue cat suit, the Rosalina's one is black, Luigi has green, Peach color is pink but it's missing in the picture and that red cat is new... PAULINE CONFIRMED.
I'm actually not interested in the super saiyan cat thing
the scenes where it showed regular mario running away from bowser coupled with the great art of mario staring down bowser made me think that we'd find a way to beat bowser shadow of the colossus style since the saiyan cat is most likely gonna be gimmicky

Don't even have to do that...Nintendo games hold their price. Can buy it for $60 (or $50 at Walmart if they do that) and sell it online for near the same price.
Didn't expect to be so hyped by the tonal shift. When I was a kid (in my mid thirties now) reaching Bowser at the end of a Mario game was a huge moment: What would he look like? How scary would it be? Will I be able to beat him?
Walk through that last big red door and:
OH SHIT LET'S GOOOOO
But then starting with the Wii his appearance got way more predictable:
Which is totally fine... for a game or two. The Galaxy games still managed to make a clownish model intimidating.
But by the time I scaled a cathedral on the moon and traveled across the planet to face an epic monster, and was met with...
.... that.
I just can't feel THE HYPE of a final boss fight. Some of that adventure is replaced with a comedy cartoon. Fine for many, but I want to recapture that epic adventure feel.
And while Bowser's Fury might be a little too hard a swing into the epic (did Bowser have a six pack?) it was still pretty cool to see a new, scary version of this old dragon.
But surely i wasn't the only one who started hearing "OPPPEN YOUR HEEAAARRRRTTT..." at that final showdown between Super Mario and Perfect Bowser:
Did you not play 3D world? The final Bowser level was so hype in that!
So the trailer still didn't really show much. Before the announcement today, I think most of us would have theorized that this was going to be kind of a more open world Mario similar to 64/Sunshine/Odyssey based on the level tease., and the trailer today showed that.
But how large is this area? Is this 10+ hours of extra content in addition to 3D World, or 2-3? Everything shown seems to take place in this one landscape, so it's hard to determine just how substantial BW is.

Does bowsers fury have 4 player coop like the main game? Seems weird they didn't really show off that aspect.
The cold open clearly has the bell being awakened by the lighthouses pointing the lights at it
3D World is such an amazing Mario game already, up there with the greats (2D or 3D)... playing it multiplayer was one of my most fav experiences in ALL of gaming.
A new chance, amazing looking new content, cat Amiibo, I'm so happy. This looks SO GOOD!

I am surprised at how much I am digging the metal/hard rock theme in that trailer - great match!
Also the new content seems very promising. I played this game on WiiU back when it came out (and never again) and while I generally lost more and more interest in Mario games (I thought Odyssey was good but not amazing) I actually think I can say that 3D World was my favorite Mario game since Mario Galaxy. Probably gonna pick this up :3

It honestly looks to me like something you blaze through in 30 minutes to an hour or so. The areas seem to be connected by trips on the back of Dorrie, and it seems like one big level with a Bowser boss fight at the end.
I hope I'm in the wrong with this since this looks incredible and I'd love for it to be 5-10 hours long, but even though it's open, it doesn't look like a level/world you're gonna spend 10 hours in.
Really unclear about the structure of this, but it looks wild regardless
But yknow if this came in a Direct, maybe they'd lay it out a bit better...

It looks good , but I wouldn't saw that anyone really knows what this thing is. Nintendo isn't even spelling out what it is. They could have literally released this with an overview with context. There's no context for anything here.
It's not unreasonable at all to know what you're actually looking at. And yes, it's a month out, and we went from knowing nothing to a bunch of things incoherently.
Exactly.
Good catch!
Note that the four cats shown have the same colors as Luigi, Toad, Peach, and Rosalina in their cat forms.
(shit, this means we aren't getting new playable characters probably...)
There are other cats in that trailer.
Sigh.
Fine, you fuckin' got me, Nintendo. Took you almost four whole years but you're finally getting me to buy a Wii U port.

Given this was probably a 2020 title prior to Corona, it may as well have been a part of a Direct at one point in 2020. ^^
For everything this trailer showed, it kinda didn't show enough - I want to know what changed in the original 3D World.
I guess they had to modify the Captain Toad segments in a way? You can do the dive in mid air now - is that on the same button as picking stuff up on the ground so that one got de-coupled from the run button? That would make multiplayer finally playable without being completely chaotic.

Would be nice if they add 2 or 3 more crown worlds to the 3D world part
I believe that's his Japanese name. His name in the West seems to be Mega Fury Bowser.
It looks fun obviously. But I'm not sure yet. I expected more 3D World levels but this looks more like Odyssey style gameplay without the hat. They didn't even show other characters or multiplayer which makes me worry that it's a Mario campaign only? I really would have preferred more 3DW linear levels with 45° design. This could have been an expansion for Odyssey. A special Worlds Collide expansion with a new Cat world.
I'm intrigued. But not completely sold yet.I want to know how much more content there is before I decide. I'll wait for reviews.
I haven't bought any Deluxe games yet. I own them all on Wii U and haven't seen enough changes to justify spending the money to double dip. If they put them all on sale for $30 I'd probably buy them all digitally just to have them all on Switch.
that said I could totally go for a third play through of 3D World TBH.

I dig this, but ugh @ it being attached to 3D World. I'm not paying full price for probably no more than 5 hours of extra content.
Hell, I wouldn't even get it at half price. Not that it will ever have a meaningful sale, anyway.

I'm assuming he means the Japanese press-release. "Metsujin" is a common prefix - I can assume that he's called "Metsujin Koopa" in Japan.
That would be nice - to be honest I never played through the whole game. Played it in co-op completely and we put it down somewhere around the park I think. So there's still new stuff for me to explore in here anyways.
For me it's more important that they better the core gameplay.
Doesn't say that in the press release from Nintendo of Canada I received.
VANCOUVER, BC., Jan. 12, 2021 – Throughout 35 years of Super Mario Bros. history, Mario has used power-ups to transform countless times, from Fire Mario to Tanooki Mario to Bee Mario and beyond. But the moment has finally arrived for Mario to assume a fearsome new feline form. He'll need all the help he can get, since Bowser has become gargantuan and lost all control!

Yep pretty much me.... thought 3D World was ok on the Wii U, and I still have my Wii U hooked up if I ever want to replay it again (unlikely). But would absolutely love to play this Bowser's Fury having seen it now, much more my kind of Mario game.
