"New NGC ..."

Supposed to come yesterday, but came today - anyone else get the same? You usually get it at least 2 or 3 days early with subs anyway.
But that's all by the by.

Anywho:
Curiously little "omg!11wtf!1"-age on the DS, and they haven't even mentioned the thumb-strap, still talking about Mario and Metroid with the stylus.

Ah well - they're only critisism of both games was with the controls I suppose when someone takes another look in the DS box they might stumble across the solution.

Goldeneye gets what we all knew it would - 66%
Echoes gets 94% (Prime got 97% if you're interested)
Minish Cap - 91%
Wario Ware titly thinger 92% (yey)
Mario Tennis - 91%

Them's the good ones.

Nintendo religious Christmas p!ss-take thingy.
Shigsy's letter to Santa, which is quite hilarious.

Oh, and another DVD. Which was nice.
NGC TV indeedy. Although, annoyingly, most of the Echoes footage is too dark to see properly - I hope it isn't so bad in the actual game.

I think that percentages are a bit picky.
I'd rate my games out of 10.

Not that 10 means literally perfect...


Sunshine 7
WIndwaker 7
Prime 9

So I probably agree with WS on those points.
Infact, there hasn't been a single Gamecube game I'd've given 10 yet.
Smash Brothers, Timesplitters and Prime come closest...

Didn't Superman 64 get 4%? Or was it 14%?

I can remember Clayfighter 63 1/3 got a really bad rewiew, but it got a higher score than that. Cant think of anything worse at the minute.

Going back to NGC..

Who wants to be a millionaire 2nd edition on GBA scored 5/100. LOL.

Worst score ever?

That actually takes first place for the most idiotic thing you've EVER said. That's such a ridiculous statement I can't even begin to comprehend it's feasibility.


Also, rather than just claim it is, how about you try and list some actual, real, differences between Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine.

I'll make it easy for you, 5 real and important differences.

No, but I don't see that Mario really progessed the series either.

How is Sunshine a very different form of Mario game than 64?

Well from what I've heard the multiplayer is nothing special but the games tone is darker. But it doesn't actually progress the series any further. Just pretty much Metroid Prime take 2... or Metroid Prime 2 as it is called.

Nothing wrong with that.

Mario Sunshine is a very different mario platformer, similiar in some ways, totally different in others. And no other platform game out there, Jax, Ratchet and Clank, Prince of Persia etc... etc... are anything like a Mario game. Being a bit of a platform obsessive like I am I can tell you that Mario games are a unique brand of platformer all to themselves.

Sunshine is a very different form of mario game. Although the fun factor is almost identical.

Yep.

3D Mario platformer.

Has a hub world linking to other subworlds.

8 challenges per subworld, all on the same map.

120 things to collect.


But oh no. It has a water gun. So it's different.

My point stands. Prime doesn't have to be completely different to achieve a high score. And from what I know despite having no personal experience of playing Echoes, there are some pretty big differences. Having to move round the dark world in those bubbles. Objectives. Multiplayer.

You're saying it's 92% of the way to being The Perfect Game?

Didn't think so.
