Apparently the new Samus design is going to be based off of the one from Other M. I thought we were supposed to forget that game existed.

What most everyone is saying here about 3D World is what I'm feeling, though, for sure. Although I completely disagree that the "design is crap", I must admit it looks like fun and something I may buy, but it's just nothing really new. It wasn't like Super Mario Galaxy or Super Mario Sunshine or Super Mario 64. It just doesn't introduce anything really new and amazing that really catches my eye. Which is extremely disappointing. It just seems like they are building off of 3D Land and throwing it on the Wii U and saying "here's the new 3D Mario". Thanks? I was sorta hoping for a completely brand new thing? Which is what Sonic is actually doing right for once right now. Holy cow, I have more in agreement with Sonic Team than Nintendo right now. I actually just said that. My mind is blown. Sonic Lost World is a complete new thing for Sonic and although it seems to be a sequel to Sonic Colors, it is very very different and very new and I don't get why people are comparing it to Super Mario Galaxy because maybe from a quick view of it it seems that way, but if you look closer into it and manipulate everything said so far, it's very different. Unfortunately even Call of Duty sorta is doing this right. They actually are doing something new. Even if it is very similar to many other games in the series (no big surprise there) and although I've actually heard from a few friends that it seems like a rip-off of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon (I don't know; I don't know much about these things), the game seriously seems to be doing something different than the past 20,567 games they've done that are all the same thing just with a different number on the box. So why on earth is the one series (Mario) that ever introduces anything really new every time suddenly just decide they're just gonna do what they did last time because it worked so well? Galaxy was a big change for Mario. And that was a *completely* different monster than 64 or Sunshine. And it sold well and was really successful and well-received. Sunshine was a completely different thing than 64, and although it got less positive reviews compared to 64 and sold less, it was still pretty successful and did pretty well. And obviously 64 was a new thing. I mean, it was the first Mario 3D title, and it was a huge risk taken and they pulled it off perfectly and ended up with a ridiculously successful title that got a giant amount of positive reviews. What are we doing making a game that is just Super Mario 3D Land for the Wii U with HD graphics and a suit that does nothing but climb on walls and makes Mario act like a freaking cat? What happened.

Gee, I may have to get an Xbox One just so I can start my day listening to that.

I'm literally dying of laughter right now. That analogy could not be more perfect and hilarious.

I'm not even surprised anymore. Microsoft is doing literally *everything* wrong. Everything. Every...thing.

That geniusness right there pretty much sums it up.

Sonic Heroes sucked? And Sonic Unleashed is really hated that much? C'mon. Give them some grace. They had some really remarkable moments in the game, especially Heroes. I don't think I could disagree with you more right now. That is what Mario is meant to be. He was merely made for a more realistic look in Brawl because that's what the style of the whole game was. And for him to look all cartoony just doesn't work in that regard. In his own game, by all means, that design is gorgeous. Ranting about that is like trying to find a reason to complain about a perfect chocolate peanut butter brownie by claiming the peanut butter is 0.5 cm off of where it should be. That's just ridiculous. It's freaking Mario. Graphics aren't the thing. Why do we care so much about graphics? The game itself matters double more than the graphics ever will.

WHOOPS DOUBLE POST. WHOOOOOPS. People continue to try and compare this game to SMG. If you've seen gameplay and the interviews, this has a bit of that idea, but you will see a dramatical difference between the two. This game is still definitely Sonic. Additionally, I disagree with you on Generations. While the new school stuff could've been better in the past, the recent Sonic games have actually been quite good. They were able to finally (and gradually) recover from their huge mistake with Sonic '06, and I'm beginning to enjoy Sonic again. I think the idea of putting "new school" Sonic in old school stages was totally cool, and having "old school" Sonic in the new stuff was really neat too. If the whole game was just Classic Sonic, I think that sorta destroys the purpose of it. Part of the magic is having both. Getting rid of Classic Sonic would obviously destroy it too. It needed both. And it worked. The only thing that sucked about the game were the cutscenes. That sucked.

Wow thanks for the information. Tomoya has done a lot of Sonic's stuff for a while, though I love Jun Senoue. He was quite disappointing with Sonic Generations, but his days as the composer for games such as SA1, SA2, and Sonic Heroes are just some of the greatest musical days of Sonic, in my honest opinion. Though I'm not sure that style would work totally well with this game. Tomoya is a good pick. Also, the whole interview was quite useful to read. Iizuka definitely gave some information that definitely interests me. The way he presents the title and the reasoning for every question TSS had was just great. I'm really actually excited for this game.

Is Sonic returning? I mean, SEGA and Nintendo have made a partnership now, so I'm thinking "yes", but I don't know. They didn't show any gameplay footage of him... Of course, I didn't see much of like Captain Falcon either so

Should've had that idea earlier. -.- I think YouTube would've banned me for that

In meaning of like when the characters are stupid and annoying and trip on themselves? I would love for that to go away. Also, it'd be nice if they made Pikachu not so cheap.

My detailed thoughts and opinions on E3 2013 this year, including PS4, Wii U, and Xbox One.

Definitely. I thought the Mario Kart gameplay was pre-rendered video, but I was amazed when I finally (after like a minute) figured out it was the actual gameplay. And yeah, Smash Bros. was crazy good as well. Pumped for Mega Man and I seriously can't wait to get a kick out of Wii Fit Trainer. That's just going to make me laugh. The graphical improvements seriously like change the look of each character, though. Link still looked like Link, but the graphics made him look so much different. It was rather cool.

The graphics for Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros. amazed me. I thought it was prerendered videos. I was astounded by the improvement since their last console releases.

I think that the PS4 probably had the best presentation, but I'm still nevertheless more excited about the stuff for the Wii U, except for the fact that the others have Dark Souls 2 and KH3 and stuff.

For the first time in history, I've confirmed I would rather take a Sony console over a Microsoft console. I don't think I've ever had to say that before.

So freaking happy when I saw this.

Liking the look of Mario Kart, Smash Bros. 4, and Sonic Lost World so far.

F-ing pumped.

I'm honestly sorta wanting to forget Xbox One even happened by this point.

Like I've been saying, I don't think I like any of the 3 new consoles, but of the three, I'm gonna get a Wii U because for one, they seem to actually be more supportive toward the game side of the spectrum more than the other two consoles, and I'm also a die-hard Nintendo fanatic and so obviously I'm gonna get the Wii U for all my Nintendo games. And then additionally SEGA and Nintendo have made a partnership now, so one of my other favorite series [sonic] is now going to be on the Wii U. So of the three consoles, if I'm gonna get one of them, it's gonna be the Wii U.

I think Sonic began to truly catch my attention again when Sonic Generations released. Sonic Unleashed actually got me hyped too, honestly. It wasn't as good as I was hoping, but Unleashed, in my opinion, really didn't suck. Sonic Colors bored me to tears, unfortunately. With what has been said, this honestly does seem to be a follow up to Sonic Colors though , but so far it's looking way better and way more interesting and fun.

Yeah lots of people are thinking a Super Mario Galaxy vibe. But after everyone saw the Desert level they knew it was different. Additionally, does this not remind everyone a lot of Sonic X-treme? Pretty freaking sexy.

I just simply made that comment because it was related to the Wii U. But alrighty then.
