Super Mario 3D Land

YES! RACCOON SUIT FTW!

It's called the Tanooki Suit. =P

How can it be a mix of both? I thought Galaxy was just an amped version of 64, but with newer missions. I wonder if they'll bring back stars though...

You do realize the difference between SM64 and SMG right? Levels of SM64 gives you more freedom to roam around the entire level without much restrictions, while SMG restricts the level to force you to follow a single pathway. SMG-esque graphics and feeling in SM3DS, but with the freedom of SM64.

^ That might be it, though I will still probably go in the order, specified by the hints. Yes, we want freedom, in where you can get stars in any order, though for some stars, you must choose that specific star. Like Koopa The Quick in Bob-omb Battlefield for example.

Super Mario 3D to Use 3DS Gyro Sensor

Posted Sat, 07 May 2011 by Corbie Dillard

No second analogue stick, no problem

While we currently don't have a lot of concrete information on Nintendo's upcoming Super Mario 3D, we are beginning to see bits and pieces of info trickling out as we near this year's E3 show in Los Angeles.

In a recent interview with The Telegraph, Miyamoto explained how the game's camera system would be controlled given the 3DS system's lack of a second analogue stick.

    Sometimes people ask why the 3DS isn't double stick. One is normally used to control the camera, but having the gyro sensor you can replace the analogue stick by moving the console, which is very intuitive.

Miyamoto was also quick to point out just how beneficial the system's 3D effect would be when it came to navigating the varying distances between platforms throughout the game.

We'll be taking the game for a spin next month at E3 and we'll give you all of the juicy details about the game and everything it has to offer.

So Super Mario 3DS will use a Gyro Sensor. It will be used to control the camera, which is why the Nintendo 3DS does not have a second analog control stick. At first, I was sort of iffy about it, but I'd like to see the Gyro Sensor to be put to use.

It's gonna be annoying when you just want to sit and play. Ugh, just another flaw, but hopefully there can be another way to move the camera. And yeah, at least they're putting the gyro sensor to use.

The arrow buttons anyone? Instead of just only moving it with the gyro sensor you can use the arrow buttons which is an alternative to the analog stick.

I saw that for the OoT 3DS trailer, and has me worried about it, to be honest

Don't worry OoT has an alternate analog stick control if you don't want to use the gyro scope which SM3D might have. Like I said Nintendo should treat the arrow pad as another analog stick for games.

I swear, they better put new and innovating mechanics into the game instead of just being a SMG3.

I don't mind the Gyro Sensor. In fact, I think it would be much easier to play instead of having to use two control sticks so you don't get kerskuffled during gameplay, like I sometimes do.

Man I figured out them dual analogue sticks when I first tried Ape Escape Granted it was hella clunky for my first time trying that "new" controller, but it was learned when I got a PS2 (the Ape Escape was just a one try thing months or longer before).

I think I just mainly laughed cause I was trying to imagine you trying to work that third analogue like it was someone's first time trying But since I have typed out this whole thing I have also come to a memory of somebody else kinda awkwardly working the sticks (like one thumb at a time) so you're not the only one.

I just don't like working two control sticks because I believe it's tedious and scrambling.

Like with Playstation, I like working the R2-L2 buttons for the camera.

 

[HuntMac]

Well, that was games like Spyro that didn't have the analogue sticks out yet But you gotta agree that the sticks allow for a lot smoother camera working. Button presses were too stiff (like Super Mario 64 I guess) but at least Spyro is a wide opened game (not a lot of enclosed environments).

I believe the first Spyro didn't, but you could change the option of it on either 2 or 3.

Release date is before the end of the year, cool stuff.

 

[MLYW]

You can keep the power-ups this time. I always wanted that in a 3D Mario game.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

Super Mario 3DS is most likely a working title for now.

 

[cookieboy17]

I kinda doubt they'll come up with a different name.

Super Mario 3DS Trailer for the Nintendo 3DS - E3 2011
Looks amazing. The graphics of Super Mario Galaxy, freedom of SM64, and the power-ups of SMB3, SOunds like game of the year stuff to me. I noticed in some levels there's a timer at the top right corner.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

Yeah, this is a must-buy, no contest. It's great to have freedom, and power-ups, and graphics like Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel. Not sure if they mentioned you'd be collecting Stars, but it's probably safe to say that. And there's probably, as usual, 120 of them. Or, 121 or 242.
