Damn, only 40 or so shines into it and its gotten pretty hard. Something no one has mentioned yet: Il Pisammito (sp)! Am I the only one who finds this guy hilarious? He reminds me of John Cleese's frenchman in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

I got this game from Nintendo today and thus far I can say it rawks...

Ive only played it about 2-3 hours so far..

And the water pack is a nice change imo....

If you find the game too hard because of it then its you not the controls...

Oh yeah, coin collecting? It's a 16-year-old concept. Time for something new, or at least don't make it the focus of the game.

Stupid traditional Megaman games, always collecting boss weapons! It's a 15-year-old concept. Time for something new, or at least don't make it the focus of the game.

Sorry, gotta disagree with you here, coins are the basic items in Mario, they were made popular in games because of him and have always been there. It'd be like Sonic with rings...

Bullshit, anything Mario goes through him. Shut the fuck up.

I'll shut up when you admit you are someone's idea of a joke.

Yes, really. Honestly, I was smiling and occassionally laughing when playing those other platformers. In SMS I was yelling and frustrated. What matters is whether I'm having fun.

I have fun with frustrating games. For me, the more intense it is, the better. Although there are those I like to play to just to enjoy. So far Sunshine has been a bunch of both. I'm happy, but that's me.

I think this is the final nail for me in the GC coffin, I just have no faith in Nintendo any more. Oh well... back to Bruce Lee....

That is so sig-able.

hehehehehehehehehe

I think I just noticed something. Remember when Miyamoto said he wanted to mature Mario? He never spoke of any major changes to appearance, but said he wanted Mario more 'mature?' Ever think the fact that even full-grown adults are having a hard time getting through Sunshine is an indicator of 'mature?' I mean, heck, some stuff I'm pulling hair out over, so I bet little Timmy would have his ass handed back to him.

Now if this is what Miyamoto really meant, then this is hillarious. Or maybe I'm just nuts. Either way...back to catch some Shines.

The bosses are insane. The *early on spoilers* Giant Caterpillar boss on the beach had me nervous, I'm playing Sunshine on a large tv with meaty speakers and the speed of that thing had my heart pounding. Also, the pink ghosts in the hotel remind me of Kirby.

Hmm, apparantly the game might be too hard for a lot of people. All the Mario games require a lot of skill, but this game is even harder than the others. It seems that a lot of people don't have the capacity to control such a useful "free" camera. I love the difficulty but maybe N made it too hard for most people.

Trouble with the pirana plant, can't spray in his mouth....oh jeez. You seriously need to take this game back, you are so in over your head.

Mario Sunshine is just the illest 3D platforming game ever concieved. It also is the reason I bought a gamecube the other day.
