OH GEE OH BOY OH GOLLY I WANT THE GAME

Dude… You seriously need to chill out. There's no need to pointlessly spam your high energy interest in this game when it hardly contributes anything to the topic.


Anyway, with that aside, I'm actually very impressed by this game. It combines the typical nostalgia we see in Mario games (of course, it tends to be too must nostalgia, which makes a lot of the games look the same) with fresh ideas that makes this game more enjoyable to play.

Looks like Nintendo finally got its head back in the game and give us a Mario game worth playing.

Today's Nintendo Direct did confirm Roselina being the 5th playable character.

All the spoilers Nintendo showed on the Nintendo Direct has only made me want the game MORE!!
But seriously the game is almost an open book now and I haven't even played it yet. All that's really left is the surprises in the levels.

Something tells me that this game is full of fan service for the Mario community. Not only do we get this nice fifth playable character, but they are using elements from a Mario game that is almost forgotten and implemented countless new ideas.

Sure, it's far from the prefect Mario game, but at least this is a giant step forward in the right direction.

I don't think I've ever been so excited for a Mario game. This looks incredible.

I wonder if there could be even more characters you can play as, perhaps as DLC.

My one issue with Rosalina is that it really isn't in her character to go adventuring.

Adventuring is exactly how she got to where she is now.

But she's left that part of her life behind her to care for the Lumas.

It's not something they can easily make me accept without exposition. I'll need to see why it's so important that she temporarily surrender her status as the Luma mother figure before I can accept that she's adventuring again.

They'll probably just go the storyless bonus character route, or lampshade it like they did with Luigi in Super Mario Galaxy.

Prettyyyy sure they ruled out any DLC happening for this title.

I don't think Daisy would have been in anyway. I think this game is only using Miyamoto characters (Mario, Luigi, Bowser, Peach, Toad, Yoshi, Bowser Jr, Rosalina).

Actually Rosalina is a Yoshiaki Koizumi creation.

Miyamoto was also envy of the character and didn't know why people liked her so much.

People like her because she has a backstory that defines her character. Miyamoto doesn't seem to understand just how powerful of an effect this can have, especially when said character is surrounded by his cardboard characters.

Her character isn't even well characterized, it's just because of the other characters she's around.
