I just watched the 3DS conference thingy. Nintendo waited until the END of the damn conference and then showed off New Super Mario Bros. 2… and its two-player mode. Yeah… it has two player mode like Mario 5. One player can bubble just like we’ve seen before.
God Nintendo is stupid for not announcing this feature during their big press conference on Tuesday. They must really hate 2D Mario to treat it the way they have been.
Not really much info on the gold coin crap other than you’re supposed to collect 1 million coins for some reason or another… WHO CARES NINTENDO! WE WANTED TO SEE THAT DAMN TWO PLAYER MODE, BUT YOU BURIED IT UNDERNEATH ALL THIS COIN CRAP!
Sorry about that. Nintendo really has its head up its collective ass lately. Who in the hell puts priority on a stupid collect-athon gimmick when a two-player mode is far more important? Oh yeah. A developer with “uniqueness” as its credo.
Well, I’ve already invested in a 3DS, so I’ll be getting NSMB 2.
Sigh… so many things I want to complain about, but why even put in the energy.
As hindsight of E3 2012 becomes clearer and clearer (as we pass in time), it is becoming more and more obvious that the Wii U might be fine and dandy. It is Nintendo’s marketing that is being the problem!
Information only is information if someone has need of it. Informing the reader that someone is crossing the street near me is not informational to that reader.
Nintendo could increase their communication if they concentrated on what information people wanted to know. Something like co-op may not be important to the game producer but it makes or breaks the sale of a game to most gamers.
