Excellent point. I really hope they make some vast improvements tho.. Got my fingers crossed.

That’s insulting to the intelligence of actual glue-eating lemurs.

Nintendo and has solidified my theory that they are a company full of brilliant artists, designers and technicians that, at some point, got infiltrated by a mob of brain-damaged, glue-eating lemurs that somehow got entrusted with 50% of the company’s decision making.

Cargo pants! Shut up, I’m a 44 year old computer engineer dad. I have a license.

Do people really keep the 3DS in their pockets when they travel?

Who carries their 3DS in their pocket? Don’t most put it in a bag?

Even when I played as a somewhat “bad” character, I couldn’t bring myself to side with Branka. There’s a line where you go from being pragmatically ruthless to being a complete psycho that Branka crossed very dramatically.

I’m udderly amazed at how much Kotaku is milking this Nintendo Switch thing. We get it, y’all are dairy excited. But let’s not lose perspective. Some people have real beef with Nintendo right now, and I have to say, some of that is really a lot of bull. Still, if Nintendo wants to keep up, they really need to hoof it,…

I wonder if you’ll get hands on with all six games slated to release within the next two years

WHY!?!?! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?!?! NOBODY WANTS THIS!!! WHY DOESN’T EVERYONE LOOK LIKE MARIO!?! HE’S A DWARF PLUMBER WHO LIVES UNDERGROUND IN NYC NOW?!?!

I think the city itself looks pretty good, but having Mario on screen at the same time is really jarring. It looks like someone modded in Mario in an otherwise pretty game. Having everyone in samey grey suits also doesn’t help. Design wise it looks cheap. Graphics wise it’s ok, isn’t it?

I thought the same

This was a definite misstep design wise.

Watching the presentation at my desk.

Mario pops out of the manhole and into a realistic city environment.

“.......no......”

Scene cuts to typical cartoony Mario level.

“This is good.”

Everyone always says that Nintendo’s art style shines in spite of hardware limitations.

The city stuff looked like awful SANIC level garbage.
Flip to the whimsy mario stuff = amazing.

Just cut that level out Nintendo.
Fucking DO IT.

CUE THE SONIC KISSING A WOMAN FLASHBACKS!!!!!!!!!

It's honestly incredible how well they translated this art into the actual game, the environments are the best I've ever seen because it just feels like you're running through concept art. Typically games have this gorgeous and epic art and while the environments are clearly well inspired by it, they rarely ever…
