So, Yahtzee, are you planning upon doing a review of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories once you get your hands on it? It's really worth looking at, in my opinion.
Zero Punctuation: Left 4 Dead 2 & New Super Mario Bros Wii
- Thread starter Yahtzee Croshaw
- Start date
This was a pretty good one.
The 30 ot 6 reference cracked me up. I'm glad he actually showed a legitimate image of it too.

Wow no stupid "first" posts! Yahtzee must have finely killed them!
A/W:
Mario games... why are they still around? again Yahtzee said that Mario would be moving in to the cardboard box that Sonic lives in. And why has that not happened? Or maybe it has because games that are made over and over with "new" parts added in. Is the same game right? yes its fun but who cares at new price what makes me want to go out and pay $50-$60 for a game. While I know games at one point were $30 to #50. (God I am dating my self) I would buy if it was $20. As a side note L4D2, I belave it is best to play at LAN Gaming centers. I do not want to pay what ever it is for new price is. I will as well side with Yahtzee, Valve WTF no Half-Life 2 Ep. 3?

This is one of Yahtzee's better reviews in the past few months. I'm glad to see someone else point out that Nintendo is just ripping off past ideas. Yes it's nostalgic, as a single player experience it might even be fun, but is it good? Fuck no.
Once again, Yahtzee has bestowed some poignant wisdom regarding the worst gaming company in recent history. Never in my life have I heard of a more absolutely retarded concept than 'New Super Mario Bros DS on the Wii', because that's all it is really; repackage a previously released title (which has been released prior New Super Mario Bros Wii about a billion times) and sell it again. How the hell could anybody have bought this? If Darwin's theory of evolution could be applied to Video Games then Nintendo should technically not exist. They become more powerful the more repetitive and unoriginal they are. I heartily look forward to 'New New Super Mario Bros DS' and 'New New Super Mario Bros DS on the Wii'.
Oh, and L4D2 does fall into this hole as well, but I'm willing to forgive Valve because they've actually released something original in the past decade.

Fantastic episode, one of the best he has done in a while! Disagree what he said about L4D2 but hey!
Actually enjoyed the whole reviewing 2 games idea and especially liked the animation at the end. Oh, and a Tank. Obviously.

I feel like Yahtzee was way too harsh on New Super Mario Bros. Wii, especially considering that there hasn't BEEN any, or rather many side-scrolling platformers these days, and the fact that he said it shouldn't exist makes me feel very angry and upset.
Yeah, he's got a point about not making progress, but then again, when most of the games these days are just 3D platformers, maybe the best way to make progress again is to go back to basics, you know?

Theory: Nintendo is spiting Yahtzee by overtly making the same mistakes over and over again.
Mario is dead in every shape and form; but if Nintendo made a third Golden Sun game I might actually buy a Nintendo console again. Or at least not end friendships when I find out a mate owns a Wii.
Also, did Yahtzee just get through a review of a Wii exclusive, without ripping on the Wii once?

Why the hell are the top two posters suspended?
on topic: nice video as always, particularly enjoyed the predictable yet acutely deserved jab at the ridiculous video game laws in australia.

Yes yes they certainly are the worst gaming company in recent history. You are correct with that statement. They are definitely the worst gaming company in recent history.Motakikurushi said:
And, I know this just makes me a Nintendo whore, apparently, but the game is actually very fun. I know that in this day and age making a game that is purely fun is an awful sin among the likes of rape and murder, but I enjoy playing it. I enjoy playing it with friends (not seriously, of course, that really does breed hate among even the closest group; playing it as PHUN PARTY GAME is a much more pleasant experience) and I enjoy playing solo.
It is true that, aside from the new suits, the game doesn't introduce any particularly new concepts. It is also true that, aside from the suits (and Yoshi, obviously), World didn't add too much to SMB3. Yet it is regarded as a classic nearly equal (sometimes, even better) to 3.
So why can't NSWMBWii (Christ, that name is stupid) also be regarded as such? Because it's a side-scroller, in 2009? The game is a phenomenal 2D platformer, easily tying with World for me, and I understand that games don't need to be 2D anymore, and Nintendo can make absolutely amazing 3D platformers, but goddammit, it has excellent, challenging, and creative level design.
So, now that that's done, this was quite a humorous review! I laughed quite a few times!
Yahtzee certainly isn't the only one to say this. Many of gamers have said this, and they have all been equally wrong.Dexter111 said:
They ARE making a new Golden Sun, for the DS. It will be supposedly released next year. And Mario isn't dead. Not even close, if you ask me. His popularity his high, and unlike Sonic, he doesn't just have nostalgia to back him up, he has awesome gameplay.jdnoth said:
