Year of Rosalina.

Oh, so that's it. Man she is far more famous than I thought, and she has been like, how much, less than five years as a character?

Just started playing Dark Moon today, and does anyone know the relation of E.Gadd to the bros.?

What "relation" are we talking about and what made you think about it?

Well, I was just playing the game when I realized that E.Gadd must have known Luigi before this game. He is also another human, which is somewhat rare for the Mushroom Kingdom. Also the way he talks to Luigi just makes me think that they're family. Maybe grandfather or something.

But that would make Mario his grandson too..

Yeah, it's never been revealed who M&L's parents are, aside from a split second silhouette at the end of Yoshi's island DS.

Has anyone played PiT? I'm pretty sure E.Gadd is in that one a lot too.

Mario & Luigi's parent are shown in the original Yoshi's Island as well... just their hands at least. But the bro's rest of the family are never shown or even mentioned. And abut E. Gadd, well, he did appeared in the original Luigi's Mansion and developed a good relationship with Luigi I assume... but I doubt they are family. Who knows though. Haven't played any of the games where he appears save from PiT.

He is also in Superstar Saga at the cafe.

Still, all the "human" characters seem to be roughly around the same age, except for E.Gadd. Anyway, it was just a thought.

We can rest easy. The reign of our lord and saviour rages on.

Well, it was finally time they'd give poor Luigi a little recognition. Though I still look forward to a Rosalina year, even if she is a very recent character

Yahoo! (best if read in Luigi voice)

ikr ;-; I'm still trying to get all the original Green Stars and Stamps first so I can continue on.

So, I wandered onto this today...

Wow, doesn't people have anything better to do with their lives?

I guess not. But I think it's cool, WWII posters changed to support the Mushroom Kingdom war.

Do you think it would be funny to find one of those posters in a Mario game? I doubt Nintendo would allow such a thing

They wouldn't allow it, but they could hide it in the background of a castle stage so only ver attentive fans would be able to find it.

^Of course, that's what I mean. Do you have any idea how many cameos Nintendo leaves in their games?

Well, I just found a LoZ one in 3D world. They even played the music. I was so happy.

The only LoZ cameo I remember was in Legend of the Seven Stars. There is a hotel that after you stay in it, Link is found sleeping on the next bed. That was pretty funny

There are Zelda references in 3D Land and 3D World, maybe it's gonna be a series staple for now on? *shrugs*

There's a huge 8-bit Link color puzzle on the Rainbow Run level.

Yup, I got the game and beat it in a few days. It was just too easy.

Even champions road?

I am not that much into kart games, but it would be interesting to see those images

Still working on it.

That's what I thought. It took me about four consecutive hours and a bunch of planning, but I finally got it.

Hint if you would like.

Super Mario 3D World seems to be a really good game.

I keep getting surprised.

Mario Kart 8 release date confirmed, this May. The 7 Koopalings have been confirmed as racers, too.

Yeah, it's brilliant if you love simple platformers. And while it's no Galaxy in the atmosphere department, it's still got some good parts in that regard (I love the haunted levels, the music is brilliant and they are really well designed).

Speaking of Mario Kart 8...

Ehhhhhhh... I'm not really sold on that, especially if they're 7 separate character slots. Especially since we already know they're bringing back all the babies for this one. I want my King Boo back. *tear*

On the other hand, the courses are looking fantastic. 7 had my favorite lineup since 64, but this looks like it could top it. I'm a big fan of some of the returning courses; specifically Grumble Volcano, Tick Tock Clock, and MUSIC PARK. In terms of a Retro Courses wish list, I'd really love to see

3DS Neo Bowser City
N64 Yoshi Valley
GBA Ribbon Road
N64 Wario Stadium
GCN Wario Colosseum (C'mon, Ninty, this course is ripe for an anti-gravity redesign!)
Wii Rainbow Road (hey, if they did a retro Rainbow Road for 7, why not 8?)

Yes, I have weird tastes in Mario Kart tracks. *shrug*

As long as Waluigi Pinball is in MK8, I'm content.

She's the most popular princess now, I guess.

*inb4 Peach fans kill me*

^What I was really driving at, is how they made her obviously sexy they tried to make that render, which is weird for Mario. She's doing that classic female biker pose that shows off her legs.
And yeah, they succeeded! Not that it's hard to do with Rosalina. :V

Anyway, Koopalings were a huge disappointment. When Iwata said "characters you weren't expecting", I instantly hyped myself for Kirby, because of Rosalina's Smash trailer. :c

Though I'll be happy if Bowser has his pimp mobile from 3D World, a course based on Bowser Land from 3D World, with a remix of his theme from 3D World. That seriously needs to happen.

Nintendo is tryin' too hard.

The only Koopaling I like is Ludwig, so I thought that it was a bit of a waste.


I want a track themed after Bob-Omb Battlefield, 64-ified.

It was in 7. Don't expect it in. <.<

Soon I can ride on my own cart! :D

Ok, so I accidentally closed the topic. So I reposted it here:


Shigeru Miyamoto recently confirmed the Year of Luigi would end on the 18th March. On that date, the corremmunity will be closed as well.



(Nintendo fans over the world)


Here's the official announcement:https://miiverse.nintendo.net/...CAADMUKllG-_pxg

Who's year is next?

So the Year of Luigi will be done three months after an actual year has begun? It souldn't be called year then, maybe moment? I believe Nintendo wanted Luigi to be around a little longer. So the next character with a "year" could be... Yoshi maybe. How about Rosalina? He is an extremely popular character for what I can tell. Speaking of her, she looks super beautiful in her kart outfit

Actually, the Year of Luigi didn't start in January 2013, which is why it went into 2013 for a little bit.

Also, in case you guys don't know, Sega have already announced 2014 to be "The Year of Sonic"....and now this picture makes loads more sense! :V

So Sega is copying Nintendo now. Seriously, they should have come up with something original instead of copying somebody

I'm pretty sure every Chinese New Year ("Year of the [insert animal here]") wins this one. *brick'd*

Sorry for the bump, but I didn't feel like creating a whole new topic for this.

So today I finished Galaxy 2, and I'm not very impressed. The lack of difficulty in the Bowser battles is almost shocking compared to the original, Rosalina is only in the game at the end and if you screw up too many times. Sure Yoshi was a cool mechanic, but he was really overpowered which I feel drew out the fun. The music was awesome, but features many of the same tracks as the first one. I highly dislike the homeworld, I find it was too small and really served no purpose other then a place to go between levels.

On a positive note, I love that they brought back Whomp's fortress from 64 it was just amazing.
