I agree....Yoshi is my favorite character in the Mario world....

Glad to see the character having a strong roll.

N4g_null6192d ago

New super mario wii is going to crush gaming like it did no the DS. If you don't like this idea or that game then you don't like traditional gaming period. That along should have been like mario 3 to us when we where younger. Then the fact you are also getting another 3d mario on top of that and a metorid. I'm glad nintendo is not catering to most of you because they are catering to the true hardcore.

This message is mostly for all the flamers that will post here. Nintendo is not here to hype you up with effects... they are about substance in game play not hype and 2010 release dates.

More people where made hardcore gamers from mario 2d games than any other game including FPS and graphic whore games. The next E3 should be pretty fun also, nintendo seems very serious this time also. LOL you guys may have pushed a little too much.

I expect the gamers to not like the conference though.... wait till you play the games...

it will include Yoshi's clones/brethren/children.

Looks outstanding, on games I think Nintendo has defeated Microsoft, yes Microsoft has graphics but the Wii make do with what it has and I am not going out to buy a Wii but these are some great looking games and new i.p's

Nitrowolf26193d ago

i will agree, their show was way better this year then last. I was still expecting more though. oh well Sony next

likeaboss3026193d ago (Edited 6193d ago )

I'm assuming you like your games casual. If not then there is no way in hell Nintendo has beat Microsoft in the quantity and quality of real games this generation. Hell even the PS3 has a better lineup of real games then Nintendo. This is coming from an owner of all three systems.

This show was better....lol It was still a snooze fest. I guess the fact they had a few real games was an improvement over last.

PtRoLLFacE6193d ago

lol nitendo press conference was so boring til they show super mario galax 2 and metroid m, but no way in hell they defeated microsoft lol maybe sony can but nitendo fail to me

Zhik6193d ago

How can you say that? how can you even PRETEND to be a gamer when only a 5-year old little kid can enjoy this bunch of crap?`

terrible graphics, zero innovation, NO SUPERIOR CONTROLS COMPARTED TO Z-CAM ON XBOX 360, old same gameplay, no DLC
AND NO FREAKING F*CKING MULTIPLAYER COMPARABLE TO HALO

I pity you and I pity everyone playing kiddy games like this sh*t
GROW UP!

FragMnTagM6193d ago

The only places that were applauding their conference were retirement homes...

With the vitality sensor, the nurses can see if the guests at the retirement home are still alive without paying thousands for expensive medical equipment.

On topic, this and Metroid were like the only things that got an applause. I am looking forward to these two games though.

mrv3216193d ago

Yeah I'm casual./sarcasm I have 16 days playtime on COD 4 alone, I am not casual maybe that's why I liked Nintendo's so much, new games surrounding new ideas on new gameplay. This was Microsoft.

COD 6 (NOT MW2!) DLC exclusive for a period of time, no doubt that doesn't include the PC who'll get it the same time
Tony Hawk Ride... PS3 as well nothing new there.
'From now on every game you see is only on 360' LIE!
Halo: STD, Ok we get it Halo is big
L4D2, Nice, but on PC so it's not only on 360, LIAR
Metal Gear Raiden also likely Multiplatform
FF 13, was once exclusive I must note.
Halo Reach, looks like a good teaser.
Forza 3, It looks stunning BUT racing game of the generation. No. We haven't seen half of the generation and to say Forza is defniative will only come to bite them.

Oh and Natal, which is laughable.

They had a go at Sony for sixaxis gimmicks, now look I will go as far to say that Natal is worse than Wii motion controller plus shall I tell you why? Button that's why, explain How FPS will work, explain how most game will work. Explain how racers work? They won't you need buttons it's that simple. The Wii pulls it of best basing it's console succesful around motion and button, Sony has more buttons but the sixaxis isn't there and Microsoft is either buttons and no motion, or no buttons but motion. You decide.

BRG90006192d ago

Deep breaths Zhik. Nintendo is making games that don't cater to you, not raping your friends and family.

This announcement is exactly what I wanted. Galaxy is the best game on the Wii IMO and I'm super excited about Galaxy 2 already. Just wish it was coming out sooner.

Sitdown6192d ago

' WTF?!
How can you say that? how can you even PRETEND to be a gamer when only a 5-year old little kid can enjoy this bunch of crap?....I pity you and I pity everyone playing kiddy games like this sh*t
GROW UP!"

Here is a thought.....what if the reality is........is that you are not a "gamer". I would think that a gamer would be somebody who would play any game, regardless of the perception or intention for a certain age range.......why? Because gamers like games! Perhaps I am old school.....and got my start with the likes of pong, pacman, and other just to name a few........but again, I feel like a gamer will give any game a shot. It's funny how things have changed..now if a game does not offer DLC, then it is not really for gamers. Perhaps you should check the roots...and redefine what a gamer is. Sounds more like you have been spoiled by the evolution of gaming...and forgot that back in the day, gaming was simple..and was about having fun.

n4f6192d ago

gaming is like sex. you play game whether or not who its gathered to.(yeah its might be disgusting but its the hard truth)

SinnedNogara6192d ago

New members huh because I've never seen you before.

I think that either Microsoft or Nintendo's conference were the best. They were all great, but the problem with Microsoft's is that...well there were not a lot of AMAZING games. None of them blew me away except maybe for Splinter Cell. There were no true exclusives.

Left 4 Dead 2: Xbox 360 AND PC.
Splinter Cell: Xbox 360 AND PC.

If it is on the PC, then it isn't a exclusive. Therefore, the Xbox 360 had few exclusives. I believe there are only 18 REAL exclusives on the 360 (good ones).

What makes the Wii kiddy?? It has great games (I can name 21).

Super Mario Galaxy
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Mario Kart Wii
Metroid Prime 3
Twilight Princess
Resident Evil 4
Manhunt 2
Blast Works: Build, Trade, Destroy
No More Heroes
The Conduit (pre-release score)
MadWorld
Call of Duty: WaW
Medal of Honor: Heroes 2
House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return
House of the Dead: Overkill
Excite Truck
Excitebots: Trick Racing
De Blob
The Godfather: Don's Edition
Scarface: The World is Yours
World of Goo (WiiWare)
Bit. Trip Beat (WiiWare)
Gyrostarr (WiiWare)

If you think these games suck, check the press averages and review scores.

So I really liked all of the conferences (need to finish watching Sony's, but got most of it). The worst conference so far was EA's when they showed the Girl's Club and Littlest Pet Shop (which is a bad thing to show at a hardcore gamer's conference. It is like showing family photos to a cop when he pulls you over).

kunit22c6192d ago

to all the fanboy trolls on here like: bpmurr and Zhik

its funny how everyone says before the conference that all they need to do is announce new Zelda and a New Mario and it will be a good conference but you get 3 new Marios(one on DS), a new metroid and after E3 Miyamoto practicaly announces a new Zelda for wii, and you fanboys are still going say it was bad? whats your problem? i think you always need to be putting down another system, even if you have to fake it. And if you truely think that Nintendo did bad then you arnt a true gamer. I dont think either of you are true gamers, cant kiddy games be fun? heres an example, Boom Blox, that is very kiddy just look at the characters and the whole game is playing with blocks, but ask any gamer thats played it and they'll say they had a blast. Also are you forgetting that Nintendo has only made like 4 ACTUAL casual games? Wii Fit, Wii Sports, Wii play, and Wii Music. Sure now they are making wii fit plus and Wii Sports resort but out of all the games they've made that only is 6 of the games, and i myself dont really consider wii sports resort as being so casual. and you say Wii has no games or none comming well lets look here.
1. The Conduit
2. COD Modern Warfare 2(maybe im hoping!)
3. Sin and Punishment 2
4. Boom Blox Bash Party
5. Wii Sports Resort

There are more already out but dont feel like thinking of them all.
but yup none at all. and did you notice the wide variety of games? Yeah i think thats the biggest variety this gen. Also lots of creativity in there. oh and dont forget all of these are VERY kiddy/Sarcasm. Sorry but Wii has the best line-up and PS3 is in second, and 360 in last so you 360 fanboys sound the most stupid of all, seriously it seems like all 360 fanboys are VERY ignorant, is it because of the flawed hardware? I dont know, but i bet neither of you two fanboys will reply to this because you know that you got owned.

Everything about the way this game was developed is screaming out that the price point is way off the mark!

This just looks like Nintendo, really scraping the barrel and rubbing in their fans faces. It's just dirty at this point!

Super Mario Odyssey Turns Seven - Ranking the 3D Mario Games

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "With the Switch getting on in years and the prospect of a new Nintendo console growing closer, now seems like an excellent time to take a look back at one of its mascot’s two big evolutionary lines, particularly since we now find ourselves in the longest wait ever between 3D Mario games. Today marks the seven year anniversary for the release of Super Mario Odyssey, and with no full new entry in sight, it comfortably beats the roughly six year wait between Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, which should also be good news to anybody who broke a mirror that day.

3D Mario has delighted fans since 1996, maintaining an astonishing level of quality and bringing innovations not just to the 3D platformer genre, but gaming as a whole. Needless to say, it’s a hard task to rank a series where every entry is beloved, but I shall nevertheless undertake this risky venture with my head held high. Wish me luck."

has it rly been 7 years already?

fk me.

Cacabunga566d ago (Edited 566d ago )

One of the worst marios.. i hated the fact it was only about finding the moons and very repetitive with the same bosses. There is no exploration in this one.
Galaxy 2 is still unmatched

TiredGamer565d ago

I played, completed, and enjoyed Mario Odyssey, but I tend to agree that I don't think it's the best 3D Mario. There was sense of sameness that prevailed after the first couple of worlds... not in the levels, environments, or aesthetics, but in the routine of each world. It just felt like each new environment was just the beginning of another checklist of moons to acquire, and the sheer number of them took away the sense of accomplishment I got from the stars in Mario 64 and the like. I can't exactly put my finger on why that is. Galaxy gets my nod as the best one.

Cacabunga565d ago

I enjoyed it too but i won’t even place it in my top10 mario games.. as you said you are just looking for stars and that irritating music everytime you find one.
Also the bosses are pretty much the same from begging to end. I would have have like some koopalings instead of these dumb useless rabbits

Chocoburger566d ago

I played a little of this game and freakin' LOVED it! But I forced myself to stop because I hadn't played Galaxy 2, which I've been playing every day for the past week. Cripes, Galaxy 2 is way better than I expected it to be! Even though I dislike the Wiimote and nunchuck controls, and it annoyed me a lot with Galaxy 1, part 2 just feels better and slightly less gimmicky when it comes to the controls.

Profchaos566d ago

Sunshine at number 7 no way. I get it's not perfect but it deserves better to date there has not been another 3d Mario that's managed to capture that same movement it's the most acrobatic feeling Mario to date.

It's by and large better than 3d land/world and I'd argue that galaxy 2 didn't offer any trie innovation it was essentially a DLC pack to 1

Personally it's
1) Mario 64
2) Mario Sunshine
3) Mario galaxy
4) Mario Odyssey
5) galaxy 2
6) Bowser fury
7) 3d land/ world.
