Is Wii U the next generation platformer king? (56k alert)

:lol: at people calling 3d word a remake. It's as much a remake as galaxy 2 was to galaxy 1Shinobishyguy

3D World is a lazy game. It will probably score 85, while Galaxy 2 on Metacritic scored a 97... and a 10 on here.

Do not compare Super Mario Galaxy 2 to Super Mario 3D World AGAIN. Ever.

The problem is Super Mario Galaxy formula works for consoles. The 3D Land/World works for HANDHELDS, not consoles.

[QUOTE="hiphops_savior"][QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"]there have already been 2 galaxy games while there is only one other 3d land game. Why is this one getting called out while SMG2 did the same thing reusing SMG 1's formula and no one batted an eye?

I think that platformers as a genre have lost much of their appeal. They were nice when I was a kid, but most lack the depth and story that I'm looking for in games nowadays...superclocked

As I'm sure you were sincere in your post, I could imagine the next hundred posts I won't waste my time with are saying "nintendo kiddiez, suxxorz, platformer rofllll."

I personally love platformers, particularly good 3D ones.  Nintendo is the only one still pumping life into that genre aside from the odd indie developer.  I like a diversified library.  I can't play nonstop shooters no matter how good they are.

I'm pretty sure there are lots of genres out there that fall under this as well.

Banjo Kazooie on N64, my most fave Platformer ever, fantastic game :D

Generations are not determined by power.

lol Wii U.

those are great games but still not enough to make me wanna get a WiiU :(

Yes I'd agree but the platforming genre looks to be going downhill again after the amazing Galaxy games though.

Why do I feel like the only one looking forward to 3D World, sure it may not be the 3D Mario I was hoping for, but I loved 3D Land. It really bothers me that so many people are acting like they've already played the game, hate it all you want after it releases, and we have more than a little gameplay and a trailer, but all of this premature hate is ridiculous.layton2012

I basically agree with every you said. Even being underwhelming...it's a Nintendo made Mario platformer. It's guaranteed quality. I'm sure I will enjoy it while waiting for the inevitable large scale 3D Mario their most certainly still working on.

Yoshiaki Koizumi may have a second project in the works alongside Super Mario 3D World.

Koizumi is acting as producer on the upcoming Wii U title. But in an interview with Spanish publication El País, he hinted at an additional game.

El País asked director Koichi Hayashida as well as Koizumi about what their next projects are. Hayashida said that Super Mario 3D World is taking up all of his time at the moment, but Koizumis response was pretty interesting:

I can not reveal it now, but soon we will make an announcement.

Could EAD Tokyo be developing another title in addition to Super Mario 3D World?Nintendo Everything

I see many 2D and "2.5D" platformers but no "true" 3D ones.

Which is unfortunate, as I really enjoyed the open-ended and exploration-based gameplay in games like SM64, B-K, DK64, ect.

I don't mind 2D ones, but I'd also like to see some more exploration and adventuring oriented ones.

The problem being some games coming out for the Wii U are 2D platformers. To be a AAA platformer it needs to be 3D that's why no other game on a Nintendo system since Galaxy 2 has been worth getting a Wii U.

2d platformer king sure but ps4 will be 3d platformer king.Jack-o-Thompson

With what exactly? So far there isn't a single one even hinted at being in development for the PS4 right now...

As far as I'm aware the only next gen 3D platformer announced is Super Mario 3D World.

[QUOTE="parkurtommo"][QUOTE="cain006"]I thought Trine was pretty bad and was awful as a platformer. It was only good for looking at really.

[QUOTE="cain006"]

[QUOTE="parkurtommo"]I've only played Trine 2, and it's one of the best games I've ever played. I'll admit that that would be mostly due to it's visual fidelity, but it's the only platformer I've played that has actually kept me interested, with non repetitive puzzles. Every puzzle is different, and they are significantly more fun in co op. The story is f*cking terrible though, as is the voice acting, a bunch of cliché terribleness, but who really cares about story in a game like that.parkurtommo

That's true. I've only played the sequel and it has far more enphasis on platforming puzzles than anything else

Knack...

Mirror's Edge 2 could also count for a 3D platformer and it'll probably skip WiiU.

I'll definitely count Mirror's Edge 2 as a 3D platformer, but there is no way in hell that Knack's a platformer... Unless you can show me gameplay footage that says otherwise, Knack has far more in common with something like God of War

Platformers have always been best on Nintendo system. Its the rest of the genres Nintendo lacks.
