oh, and
SHINE GET!
how's my engrish?

I believe those scores are from Famitsu-GameCube, a weekly GC only magazine & not the "real" Famitsu. It's an unofficial mag that tends to review higher than the "real" magazine.

 

[BrianB]

And was it 10/10/10/10 or 10/10/10/6, 10/10/8/8 etc?

 

[Oscar_R]

another site stated 10/8/8/10

Well, that's not good. My expectations for Mario Sunshine are quite a bit higher than these scores indicate.

I'm on a wait and see mode. Mario 64 was such a revolutionary game for it's time, it just blew everyone away. Since then, i've come to the realization that 3-D jumping puzzles SUCK.

 

[Morgan Jolley]

Miyamoto said that Super Mario Sunshine isn't doing much more than expanding on what was in Super Mario 64. It's supposed to be a good game, not a revolutionary one.

I'd prefer it to be revolutionary, but after Mario 64 it's kind of hard to revolutionize the genre again.

I'd prefer it to be revolutionary, but after Mario 64 it's kind of hard to revolutionize the genre again.

Agreed. But what if Miyamoto experimented with a 4th dimensional fractal graphic style that transcends our notions of 3 dimensional space? That could be revolutionary...

Why is is that all the screen captures for Sunshine thus far look really really jaggy?

Joesph, the strange thing about Super Mario Sunshine is that screen captures all look pretty bad, but the game in motion looks really good. I was ready to pass on SMS until I saw some in-game footage.

Heres an excellent write up on gamers.com. This guy has me really excited about the game! (August 26th can only come so fast):

So true, so true, but before you know it it'll be here and we can all go out and buy the third season of the Sopranos, and all the Tarantino films.
Hey, I know that's what I'm getting that day

 

[Iain Lambert]

Apparently (he said, searching for where on the Edge forums he read it. Probably somewhere in the Mario Sunshine folder), 'real' Famitsu have given it 38. Also, the two 8s from Famitsu Gamecube were because the second half of the game is too hard. Which for Mario64 veterans has to be A Good Thing, surely?

 

[Iain Lambert]

Well, people are playing (and loving) it now. I am now officially deeply envious.

 

[John Berggren]

I'd buy SMS even if the reviews were butt. I can't wait for this game! Will July end already?

 

[Morgan Jolley]

Yeah, I'd buy it anyway. I just really want to play it now!!!

 

[Aaron Copeland]

There is often a fine line between a game being truly challenging and a game that is simply cheap. Perhaps this Mario game crosses that line on occasion.

Having played Jumping Flash (very good) and Floating Runner (below average) before Mario 64 came out, Mario 64 didn't seem revolutionary to me at all. But it was damned good.

 

[Aaron Copeland]

Having played Jumping Flash (very good)

Haha..I loved that game. It looked kind of goofy, but it was fun to play.
