Zero Punctuation: Super Mario 3D Land & Rayman Origins

[Qitz]

Eh, I liked Super Mario 3D Land. Granted I've liked most of the Mario games.

Plus the Tanooki suit is just awesome so FEH on you! Specially in the secret worlds when you get to use the classic Tanooki suit.

Aside from that.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRR, aaaaaaah, GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, aaaaaaaaaaah.

Poor Thwomps indeed.

 

[The Great JT]

Look at it this way: if it's fun, who cares?

It's always good to see Rayman get its due, it's probably been missed by lot of gamers given its moronic release date.
And Mario is Mario, he can release any day and still sell.

Its weird how much Yahtzee praised Rayman while the reception to it from most other reviews were luke warm at best. Still, this game is one of the best to come out of 2011.

Wait, I've seen nothing but good things said about it. What reviews are you talking about?

 

[BoredRolePlayer]

2D or not 2D, that is the question.
Good thing he also reviewed Rayman this week. I think Super Mario left Yahtzee feeling rather...

*puts on sunglasses*

...testi

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

 

[Sgt-Thrust]

"The lives system, a stupid and outdated concept that Nintendo nevertheless have to stick to because of an ancient Voodoo curse that will make their bell-ends explode if they so much as think for five minutes."

I laughed so hard I missed the rest of the video.

 

[twm1709]

couldn't quite figure which one he liked ...
I've been interested in Rayman since I tried the demo with my friends. I'll add it to my "to get" list (which is getting a bit too crowded lately)

 

[Zhukov]

But didn't Rayman Origins completely tank in terms of sales?

I bet we won't see them trying to shove any more 2D platformers into $60 boxes for a while.

...

Oh, good video by the way. Best one for a while. Gat a few chuckles out of me.

 

[Von Strimmer]

Maybe Nintendo put all the tanooki suit references in there as a way of massively pissing of PETA?

 

[viggih7]

Oh god... the horror. This brings back memories of the first rayman game, fucking hard as nails, Rayman 2 was a lot better I feel.

the only one i can think of is that rayman is short and fully priced 60$

I've heard that it's huge and has enough content, quality and charm to be priced $60.

 

[LordXel]

Super Mario 3D Land is fun, but damn is the main quest short! Not counting the extra levels or collecting all the star coins, it took me three hours to beat it. I know that theres more levels but just saying the main quest is three hours long doesn't look good for the game does it Nintendo? Just bring out Super Mario Sunshine 2 already. XP

Fun fact, except for the new 3DS version, and the PC version I have played every single version of Rayman 2 ever made, yes I love it that much.

That means, Psone, DS, N64, Ps2 and Dreamcast.

My personal favourite is the Dreamcast version, it feels the most definitive to me.

"Who could like someone who's arms and legs have no visible connection to their body?" lol

 

[Edhellen]

The attacks against the 3D screen technology itself are pretty lame shots. Who is seriously claiming that the 3D screens add anything more than eye candy?

 

[Jonluw]

Hm.
I was wondering whether I should buy Origins or not.
You've convinced me, Yahtzee.

 

[Sylveria]

Such a shame, it's so rare to hear Yahtzee actually speak this highly of a game(Rayman) and I would actually consider buying it... if it wasn't a Ubisoft game. Oh well, maybe I'll pick it up used. Going by their logic, the fact I'm only passively interested in their game makes me a pirate anyway cause I thought about it without buying it, may as well get it used so they can at least kinda legitimize their claims within the scope of their own horribly flawed logic.

 

[cricket chirps]

Aaahhh and this is why i am not a nintendo fan

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Ouch, no wonder the Thwomps always look so angry.

 

[DarkhoIlow]

Never owned a handheld before so I don't know exactly what to say about 3DLand.Mario has been done to death and they are still beating that old horse even after so many years.

Rayman Origins on the other hand I wish they would of released it on the PC as well so I could give it try.Unfortunately,that was not the case.

Laughed quite a bit on this vid,so thank you for this.
