"Mario Sunshine - out tomorrow!"

Well, in CA Games it is anyway. I took a trip there early just to have another play of it, and possibly a small play of Starfox Adventures too, but the guy wouldn't let me because he said they're getting rid of their American stock of the game (Mario Sunshine) to make way for the British release tomorrow. I said that most places have it releasing on Friday and that's the official release date and the guy told that's what's good about being connected to Nintendo.

So I guess I'll be getting myself a copy tomorrow, and laughing in all your faces, even though I won't have a GC for another 2 weeks, and in which case, you'll all be laughing at me for having a game that I'm unable to play unless I go to a mate's house.

Well, at least it'll be nice to know I'll be one of the first people in the UK to have a PAL version of Mario Sunshine. Yay!

£37.99 too, which is a damn bargain!

:-D

I remember when Dreamcast games were still being released, and the GC was a distant memory. Ahhh, better days. The days of DC-UK, the best magazine ever.

I remember when GAME in Nottingham were selling Dreamcast games before the Dreamcast was even out!

I don't think you can really compare Mario and Starfox, it would be like Comparinf Mario and Zelda. One has had a much longer production cycle than the other.
But, as to getting Mario for cheap, I am getting it for the cheapest I could find. £0.00. It's from this mail order company, they just decided to send me a free game.

Yeah, but Starfox is more of an Adventure game, rather than a Platform game. Ok, so they're the same in a way, but they always seem to have different categories for Adventure and Platformer anyway. :-)

yea of course but they are different games.

Personally I think Starfox looks a lot better. A LOT!

Change that to it will be the best platformer on all 3 consoles. Most likely the game of the year..

Rushed? Look at those graphics, that gameplay, the lifespan! It's been in development ever since Super Mario 64 was finished! That's six years! It sounds like you don't really know anything about the game and are slating it for no reason! It'll probably be the best platformer on all three consoles for quite a long time.

Im not against the game. In fact i dont even have a console to play it on, its just it looks a bit rushed.

I will flood the forums in the blood of the non beleivers.

Mario games have never been about the graphics, though from what i've seen the graphics are damn nice anyway, I think people are getting too picky nowadays when it comes to graphics.
