Why Super Mario was PlayStation's real E3 nemesis

With so many mainstream and casual gamers to attract, Sony will be more worried about Switch than Xbox One X.

Well Nintendo routinely prove why the industry really needs them.

Everyone criticises them for release "another Mario" but tell me, which platformer on any other platform comes remotely close to what they show? After decades Mario still schools all other platformers, at least as far as early impressions go.

Shine get!

Which platformer on any other platform comes remotely close to what they show you ask?
Crash n sane trilogy, cuphead, ori 2 and EVEN knack 2 surpass mario odyssey.
don't get me wrong, mario odyssey is a really great game from what we saw... But crash and cuphead are amazing.

@platform
Hmmmm I don't know.
I think ori 2 (based on how amazing the first was) would be the only one out of that list to top Oddysey. Knack 2 and Crash look amazing (great year for platformers) but Oddysey looks to be a level above them. Cuphead looks cool but I think that would be on the lower end of that list, top being made up of ori 2 and Oddysey and Crash + Knack in the middle. Once They all come out I could easily change my mind after playing them but from what I've seen, Mario looks damn good.

Nintendo's new Mario game is looking very nice, Ubisoft's aswell.
Not enough for me personally to make the leap to switch, but still looking good.

Mario Oddysey was one of my favourite games from E3. Looks fantastic!

letsa_go2498d ago

Same! Definitely makes me want to pick up a Switch

Fishy Fingers2498d ago

Not fussed about the whole 'nemesis' blah blah but I'll be doing my best to get my hands on Mario when it releases, no doubt it'll be brilliant.

What, I thought this was dead after Shawn Layden left Sony. I would definitely pick this up if it's true. I have such great memories of playing the MediEvil games on PS1 and I played the PS4 remake. Such a great and underrated series.

A rumored game at a rumored show.. we’ve seen it all

TiredGamer21m ago

Agreed. The first remake was stylistically beautiful and a very noticeable improvement over the original in every regard. And it was reasonably priced and sustainably developed (i.e. not some mega big budget game that was do or die for the developer).

Thanks for the spoilers... :(

Another day, another remake. Ugh!

If you played the original print I can see your annoyance. I didn’t and probably a lot others the past 20 years.

Was it any good? Would you suggest playing the original print of 2, or suggest the remake? Just wondering because I didn’t play the originals as I had an n64 at the time

TiredGamer24m ago(Edited 20m ago)

I played the first remake and absolutely loved it. The quality of life and control improvements were very noticeable. I tried playing the PS1 original and gave up halfway through at the janky controls.

Expect the same for part 2. The PS1 version is janky as heck, but I would gobble up an improved remake day one.

The beauty of this kind of stuff is that I find myself enjoying more retro gaming today, so a relatively low budget classic remake (call it a single-A release) is exactly what is missing from first party releases in the modern age. I don’t want every game to be an unsustainable AAAA endeavor that is just overwhelming in every regard. Truly miss when game releases could be modest-sized surprises and still be commercially successful/viable.

Bring on more quality classic remakes!

Such a good series I also wish Sony would dust off Wild Arms and Legend of Dargoon even the Legend series needs to see the light again.

My bets on new Socom and/or Wolverine (since Deadpool 3 is dropping in the summer).

I think one after this state of play will be PS5 pro preorder
