Game Developers Stick to the Classics

GamingDead: "Do you like Mario? What about Link? Tony Hawk? I hope the answer to all is "a lot," because you're going to be stuck with them for a while.

With the economic recession we're in, game companies don't want to take risks. They simply can't eat the cost of a failed game, and they're willing to stick with tried-and-true methods to turn a profit, even though they know they probably won't have a smash hit on their hands. I can't say I blame them, either. People tend to wax nostalgic when times get tough."

Without Characters like Mario and Link you wouldn't have your Master Chiefs, Kratos, Ratchet and Clanks, and so on so people need to stop complaining

As long as innovation continues to thrive along our favorite franchises, then I have no problem with it.

My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest308d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic308d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos308d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz307d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game

shinoff2183307d ago
