I miss Luigi having electric powers to compliment Mario's fire. Why add a plot point with such high potential for awesomeness and just leave it behind after one game?
Pic related is the only time I saw it elsewhere.

I'm pretty hyped for it but other things are more hype to me like Super Mario Odyssey, the Metroids and Kirby. I'll be sure to play it as soon as I can though, Superstar Saga is a excellent game.

Getting HD sprites will probably inspire the next generation of sprite flash animations. And also reaction images.

If they include a boss arena, the secret boss should be Prince Peasley.

>>380962968
I hope they add stuff to the main game. the game could use a hard mode

>>380965403
nah the hd sprites have too many frames and arent cartoony enough to be used in amateur flash shit

>>380962968
Why do they always put an E between Mairo and Luigi in these games?

Mario and Luigi are Italian and "e" is how you say "and" in Italian, duh.

>>380965515
At the very least, if they're true to the material, all of the important frames are still there. There might be a ton more in-betweens from the frames that were already present. There's a lot of swishing frames that may be worked around as well, like with some of the bros. moves where they spin fast.

At the very least, there were a ton more unique sprites seen when failing the bros. moves. Tripping and falling face-first, Luigi's butt/hand being on fire, Mario's "oh shit I fucked up" expression. And speaking of bros. moves, I wonder how they'll spice up Popple and Rookie's two bros. moves.

It's an Ampersand based on a crossed Epsilon, commonly ampersands look like "&" but the Epsilon one look like a backwards 3 or E. There's probably more to it & I may be explaining it poorly but I don't feel like looking it up.

An ampersand (&) is really a stylized "Et", just meaning "and".

Superstar Saga, nothing has come very close. All games are good though, with SS and BiS probably being the standouts. The rest all have problems but none are gamebreaking.

>>380962968
The sprites look so soulless. Imagine this scene except with luigi not looking batshit crazy.

The popular opinion I've noticed is:
Superstar Saga > Bowser's Inside Story > Dream Team >Partners in Time or Paper Jam

In my opinion it's:
Partners in Time > Superstar Saga > Dream Team > Bowser's Inside Story > Paper Jam

>>380963801
Because fire powers is from an item that both of them use. Luigi's always had fire powers, they're brothers.

It's fine, just different. If they can make them very expressive still it could work okay.

The original sprites were really good though, sometimes in a weird ugly way, and I don't think they can recreate that. Just do it differently.

You can probably switch DT and PJ

I've usually seen DT preferred over PJ, even with how it fixes the whole tutorial & gyroscope thing.

>>380966715
I also like the big cartoony proportioned heads in the original

>>380966680
>US

you have shit taste then

SS and PiT are the kings for me. BIS was good but I was pissed Mario and Luigi had to play minigames basically the whole game. I stopped playing Dream Team when they kept shoving tuts in my face even though i was like 5 hours in. Didn't even touch Paper Jam.

Kind of sad because I used to really love the M&L series

>>380966715
Probably because they had them running around instead? I don't really know

This is really a case of where you can't actually tell how good it is through the trailer, like the Bowser in a cannon scene looks amazing but that Cackletta scene looks worse

>>380966828
Wait, what the fuck is the difference?

>>380966828
Beyond the HP thing what does the EU version even change? Like I don't even mind the bigger HP in the US version since Superstar Saga had me raping bosses in seconds (especially that final one).

>>380966865
>I stopped playing Dream Team when they kept shoving tuts in my face even though i was like 5 hours in.

They don't stop doing it until the very last area in the game.

Paper Jam is good if you like the pure gameplay - there really isn't much to the story but it has very refined gameplay and it's gorgeous. Plus, you can skip all tutorials.

Can't wait to listen to the remastered music. Popple and Cackletta's themes were the shit when I was a kid.

>>380965418
This. Most bosses could be wiped out with one or two Bros. Attacks and barely did any damage at all.

>>380966985
The bosses aren't the problem, normal enemies are

>>380966928
Massively overtuned enemies

Honestly, no. The original is still better in my eyes.

I didn't know it effected normal enemies also. It still didn't bug me though, the battles never lasted long. Also I've mostly only ever seen people complain about the bosses having too much HP as opposed to the normal enemies.

From what I've seen so far I prefer the look of the original.

There, happy?

>>380967001

Awesome. I did get it for my nephew so I noticed they learned from the shitty tutorials. I'll check it out.

What bothers me now about Ninty games is that they totally sacrifice the story for gameplay because they think nobody cares about the story anymore. What?? SS, PiT, and BIS(and SMRPG/PM/TTYD) all had awesome, if simple stories. I think they underestimate how great it is in a video game to feel like your actions matter.

It's kind of telling that in PJ, where they apparently weren't allowed to use any original characters (what the fuck, Nintendo?) they actually managed to make Bowser Jr. have a small arc and made him really sympathetic. Same for a lot of the Koopalings.

It sucks though because so many characters in especially SSS were amazing, there's nothing wrong with original characters.

Already played it so not really. I have it out for remakes unless they're Zero Mission level redesigns.

Main improvement is Bowser no longer looks like ass.

I love this game

SSS > DT > BIS > PJ > PIT

Dream Tram and Bowser were nearly the same game with different sprites and one had playable Bowser. I just think Dream edges out Bowser for having a better soundtrack.

Paper Jam would have been better if the story had lived up to its potential. It has without question the best gameplay.

>>380962968
Why did they have to shove it in october with gorillion other games? It's probably completed already.

>>380967447
That's fair, although I hope you give it another look once more footage is available.

>>380964907
Is Prince Peasley gay?

>>380968127

What's so bad about Partners in Time?

>>380968024
The problem with this is that while the interactions between the paper and not paper versions is pretty fun, they really don't go anywhere with it. The best they do is with Bowser Jr. (who they made to be a very lonely kid) but otherwise there's no twists and turns to it at all.

I remember being very intimidated by Cackletta's appearance at the beginning of the fight when I was a kid since I did not expect her to look like that and had to actually drop my GBA and stopped playing for a few minutes. The music, lightning and black holes spawning didn't help at all.

>>380968678

Oh. I thought there was a better reason. There was stuff I hated about it too but I was 11 so I didn't care. I was just glad to play more M&L and I loved the way they used Baby Mario and Luigi

>>380968559

>>380969060
Ah,well fair game.
Sprite talent among non-indie developers is so rare these days.

My biggest beef with the game series has been the over use of "items".
It just annoys me a bit that it is not just something they've learned to do with the things that already have, like SuperStar Saga. It has to be some mini-game centered around some item gimmick.

>>380969107

It's to be expected. Technology has advanced enough that the pixel art style is dying off. It lives only in indieshit. like the game i'm trying to create

>>380969340
This is why Bros. Attacks>Items.

>>380969340
>>380969762

I'm glad you guys feel the same way I do. I was so mad when PiT went to items instead of Bros Attacks.

>>380970180
yep.
I wasn't mad, but I did get peeved. It didn't make sense to me at all.
It always amazes me how Alpha Dream could take, what, six special attacks and make them feel stylized, crazy, and different depending on how you used them.

>>380970578

Yes! This is why SS is my favorite. There's so much heart put into the battles and bros attacks

>>380968296
No but it's pretty obvious Luigi is gay for him

>>380970675
