Super Mario 3D World (Wii U)

I really like the Weegie game, but i wish i'd played it before Mario U so i didn't have the feeling of treading on familiar ground. Gameplay wise, it's much more interesting (though challenge mode on U is great).

WRONG. About everything here.

I thought this before replaying both SNES games earlier this year.

World is an absolute eyesore that uses "exploration" as a euphemism for "compulsively following Nintendo Power recipes for pushing an ugly Mario through all of the arcane ways in which the last twelve seconds of a level can be completed." Also, the cape breaks a good deal of stages.

Yossi is still the best looking game of all time, but it's a drag. Reloading eggs and stars is terribly tedious. The underground stages are too long and have no flow whatsoever. There are so many sloppy boulder-pushing segments that demand pixel-point precision through weird, frustrating inertia. Pushing a rock is not fun. There's a reason we call repetitious, hopeless undertakings "Sisyphean."

DAMN IT FINCH!

I haven't really liked any of the NSMB games that much, but U is the first one that I really enjoy. Of course, part of it may be because it's the first one that I can use a real controller on.

Better than the old ones? Nigga please.

i thought i was the only one who thinks Yossyisland is pretty but pretty boring

i'm don't feel so alone anymore...

I forgot mention those terrible vehicle segments. What larks we had, Yoshi, repeatedly slamming into walls hoping to expose fake ones and being sent back to the beginning as penalty for exploring. What larks!

you guys are wrong, big time

but maybe it's partially nostalgia

Go ahead. Play it.

That's how I feel - like, if they put the amount of effort into the New series' look and music that they do the 3D ones? That would be swank.

I feel I'm in a safe environment, and will admit... I too was kinda bored by YI.

Now, now, I liked it okay. 100%'ed it back in the day. But I never got the full-on adoration that followed in its wake. I've always kept silent about it.

Until now.
