An interesting review, and bizarrely close to my own views on mario and Luigi. I always preferred the green one.

Not that I'm going to be buying the game. For one thing I'd need to get a DS as well and the day I do that is the day I can be found naked on a ooftop singing I believe I can fly.

Also, woop first page and all that annoying bollocks.
What's wrong with the DS?

Holy fucking shit.

That might have been the best ZP ever... er, EVAR! (and many more ! for some sort of retarded effect)

A Shakespeare reference?

Yahtzee you callipygian stallion... I think you may just be moving beyond the reach of your mindless fanboi masses...

Edit: oh, and the sphincter minigame was particularly fabulous.

Decent review. Hope you'll have more material when/if you review Brutal Legend.

I also prefer Luigi. I always preferred to play him in Super Mario World because he can jump higher and sounds marginally less retarded when he dies. Tails is similarly better than Sonic.
I was actually hoping for a Brutal Legend review this week but never mind, this was good even though I wasn't remotely aware that the game existed.

I was under the impression that "One-eyed Demon" was a euphemism for male genitalia.
The subliminal implications of Yahtzee's reviews just took on a whole different nuance.

He's right, I always considered Luigi much better in almost all areas than Mario.
Except that trivial being the main character part

"Rawr submit your soul to a one-eyed demon.". That was actually a pretty awesome line and probably one of your better ones.

Overall a great video.

The plot of the game is btw laughable.

Great review. Not that i even knew this game existed until now.
Raising a fair point though, most of the support characters are always better than the main.
Tails and Luigi being the best examples.

a game inside Bowsers digestive system though? thats odd.

That's two in a row that have really made me laugh out loud. I'm glad to see the humor making a return to the foreground of ZP. I'll be eager to see Yahtzee's take on Brutal Legend.

Bah DS game reviews. This is like a snack between meals. The fact that you didn't mention how overused he is kept it from being bumped up to appetizer.

Although I really liked your take on the complexities of the mushroom kingdom.

I love the Mario RPGs! Especially the original, for the SNES. Man I wish they'd bring back Geno. He was the biggest badass ever.

His one liners seem to be getting a lot better (along with his disturbing mental images). I do wonder if he's ever checked out a JRPG like the Tales series without the turn based combat (I know he's done the super paper mario, but I'm talking about one that's main character isn't also in every other genre of games except true FPSs because Nintendo is still sane)? Yes the story of JRPGs are a bit cliched, but then so are a lot of FPSs and hack and slashs. I know I may get attacked for my support of them, but I grew up on them and every game that's less than 60 hours long feels like a waste of my cash when I remember that I got games for no more than $40 that lasted a long time. I'm also not supporting every JRPG since some of them are absolute crap that don't even really try (and is it so hard to find voice actors that don't make my ears bleed?!).

The other thing I have to say about this review is that I somewhat agree with Yatzhee about kids for a much more personal reason (it involves my name and the fact that I worked with 2nd graders for something like 6 years).

*EDIT*

The more I look at other posts, the more I realize that people don't read the Extra Punctuation sections.

I enjoyed the child loathing. Great review and even greater applaud for the resisting of title bashing... not that it doesn't deserve it.
