Top five ways Nintendo ruined Mario

[FirebrandX]

... so i had to stick my finger deep in there and push a bit harder.

You nasty bastard (JK).

Anyway, I was also pissed off over the PS3 variants. I purchased the 40 GB model and low and behold it doesn't play PS2 games. WTF? I actually wanted one that does, but had no clue at the time there were "feature" differences between the price ranges. I just assumed the price was based on the hard drive. GG Sony on that one.

Aside from that, I've been very pleased with my PS3 as a blu-ray player. I don't actually play it much for games since I do a lot of PC gaming, but I'm starting to get into that aspect by getting the SSF2T HD Remix. I'm a confirmed SF expert & suck ass at tetris games.

nice.

Thank you. ^^

Did you not notice (...)

Yea, I'm just fucking with you. Sorry it got a little too far.

As for Sunshine, are you saying that all the bonus levels posed no challenge to you whatsoever? (including red coins on the bonus stages) Even if you didn't I'm sure you'd say the challenges in Galaxy were much easier.

The standard bonus stages were negligeable. As I already mentionned, the only one where I actually had to do it over and over was the pianta-launching-red-coins-mode one. Got it down roughly 5 tries in.
The challenges in galaxy were much easier, seeing as I never burnt more than 3 lives anywhere (and that one was the luigi coingrabbing fiesta stage where all tiles kill you in one hit or disappear after you touch them).
It's all in the wrist lawl

I'm talking about beating 100% of the game with all hidden stages etc.

Consider I'm -always- talking 100% clears. I don't do any%.

you missed my point entirely only so you could make fun of someone.

ohnoes ! busted !

I guess I should have said, instead of "x games are hard" I should have said "x games are certainly more challenging than the following games in the series"

does that satisfy you grin? or did you just feel like being an asshole.

All of the above ? ^^

sounds good, I should probably look into getting that 60 gig then before they are impossible to find.

I know this being a nintendo forum and all makes it a bad place to say this but mario sucks and that artical sucked even harder.

Do you not like platformers in general or do you just specifically dislike Mario?

Yeah. Far cry from the PS2, where it launched as a hideously bad player, and never got much better.
PS3's only recently ceased being the only player that's even half-decent, as prices have crashed and standalone BDLive players have hit shelves.

TRUE STORY

About right for the first two tries. The third time was just a stupid missed jump shake. ¬_¬;
