NSMB doesn't come close to SMB 3 and SMW but it is better than SMB and SMB2. --- Most wanted game: LoZ: TP |

Oh, and I don't make idiotic comments like that, either. I know you don't have any respect for me, but at least you could pretend. That's what I do for you. :p Giviing false respect is never admirable in my opinion... --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

Oh yeah, love the Wall Jump. It's especially nice when combined with the Mini Mushroom. You could actually climb back up some of those deep, large pits in some levels and can wall-jump indefinitely after beating Bowser Jr. NSMB could've done a lot better, but it had some good parts. --- Nominate Nidoran F. |

Oh, and the only real problem with the game is that in terms of the
final product, excepting graphics, this game should have come out as
SMB2 on the NES. Placing it there, you see a great evolutionary chain
from one game to the next in terms of level design, items, and bosses.
If this game would have been released 19 years ago w/ NES graphics it'd
be hailed as a hallmark game today. Instead it is being derrided for
ONLY being above average when compared to everything else today. --- ... Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

I liked SMB better than NSMB, but NSMB was better than both SMB2's. --- Series Contest Score: 52/56 Today's Pick: Final Fantasy |

And who's to say they aren't saving alot of things for NSMB2? Like Yoshi or the cape? That's... completely irrelevant. I don't care if they're saving every superb level design idea they thought of to make NSMB2 the most kickass game ever created, it doesn't make NSMB any better. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

"And you do it far more often than I do." When was the last time I got into an argument in CSAD? We can count MM/MK, I guess, but I never slung a single insult at anyone other than Shake, and that has nothing to do with me arguing (Shake had been harrasing me for about a week and a half at that point). So then, before that, when's the last time I slung an insult? A year ago? Give me a break. --- ... Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

Not really, especially since that I dont think it will be that close,

And who's to say they aren't saving alot of things for NSMB2? Like Yoshi or the cape? Considering how long it took for them to put out NSMB I don't expect NSMB2 anytime soon. And they could put Yoshi and the cape in this game and NSMB2. I wouldn't have a problem with that. --- http://www.gamefaqs.com/features/contest/contest_nominate.php Please nominate K. K.

Yeah, nobody really cares that we've finally surpassed 150k votes and
experienced history and all that jazz. What's important is arguing on
whether NSMB is a good game or not. NSMB vs FFTA. Who would win? --- Nominate Nidoran F. |

The cape or the leaf weren't used because they were trying to make
the game as similar as the original. Someone from Nintendo said this. Yeah, I remember those comments. But in my opinion, they're completely asinine, seeing as the original didn't have a wall jump, a world map, storable items, or anything other than the star, mushroom, and fire flower. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

Yeah, NSMB didn't have Yoshi or flight powerups because of the
direction the makers of this game wanted to take. They wanted it to
harken more to the days of SMB1 than SMB3 and SMW. --- Nominate Nidoran F. |

"Maybe you haven't been doing it recently, but you've done it so many

Chichiri is the single biggest dick I've ever encountered in the stats
topics, and that's not really meant to be a completely bad thing
either. I like him more than plenty of people who post in here, and
he's more intelligent than plenty as well, still he's an ass, but
that's just part of him. --- Explicit Content Cheer Up Emo Kids - Team Tranny Did! |

You're about the only person holding onto that ******** still, and you're far from the only person I've gone after. It has nothing to do with going after me. In fact, I don't even recall arguing with you directly before this, to be honest. I just recall your general demeanor towards everyone for a long period of time, and then I remember not really seeing you post very much. And seeing as your demeanor clearly hasn't changed, I see no reason not to continue thinking of you in those terms. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

From Super Luigi Posted 7/31/2006 10:12:04 PM #241 I'm talking mostly about on the internet, Of course I would use the correct grammar every time on a resume. But on here? Who cares? Oh, Losers. That's who. Who obsesses over every post made towards them or a game they like on the internet? Of course I wouldn't act so silly in real life. But on here? Who cares? Oh, teenagers and wannabe internet badasses. That's who. Because it didn't have your precious flying powerup. If you're going to troll (and you're doing a horrid job of it), do some research. I've told you hundreds of times why I don't like the game. But in typical Super Luigi fashion, you ignore such reasoning and take everything as a personal attack meant to be defended 'til death.

I treat everyone as if they are less than me until they earn my
respect. And that's not hard, all you need to do is prove you know what
you're talking about. My problem in 2k4, which is where you're getting
most of that feeling, was that a whole lot of noobs came around talking
about things they didn't actually know about. In 2k5 the only time I
really got nasty was when someone came along doubting Vincent. --- ... Detective in Sir Chris' Police |

I've noticed that UltimaterializerX seems to periodically jump into an
argument and blast a random teenager while flaunting that they pretty
much know nothing about the real world, telling them to grow up, or
something of that nature. I think he needs that periodical
satisfaction. =P --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |
