/vr/ - Retro Games

Sorry bruv, SMB3 on NES has far more, and I'm genuinely sorry to use the meme word, soul.

>>5560298
What makes SMB3 better?

>>5560294
2 doki donkey picnic has my favorite aesthetics

Smw had a pretty bad aesthetic imo.
Doesn't help that it was a snes launch title.

>>5560294
SMRPG wants a word with you. Also Yoshi's Island exists.

The vast majority of the redesigns are straight up bad, including Mario himself. I love the game, but the easy difficulty and worse sprite design keep it from being perfect.

>>5560306
We're talking about 'best looking', yeah? I just love the aesthetic it has. Plain black backgrounds and all.

>>5560348
SMB3 looks drab and dull as fuck ever since the SMW came out. The best looking is Mario Kart 64 or Yoshi Story anyway

>>5560294
It has a very charming appeal stylistically even with it's early 16-bit stank. It somehow makes pillow shading look a little okay for the times it's ever used. Hard to say it's the best though. SMB3 and SMB1 All Stars hold their own for me also in their own ways.

>>5560294
I think so, yeah. SMB3 NES also looks nice but SMB3 SNES looks fucked up to me, it's all drab and weird. I don't like it, yet unfortunately its visual presentation went on to be the template for many Mario fangames including the mighty Super Mario Bros. X. Ah well.

>>5560294
Yep!

>>5560347
>redesigns
Brain rot

>>5560326
I don't like the pre-rendered look in SMRPG at all. I feel Mario looks best in 'standard pixel' designs if you know what I mean like he did in the NES games, SMW and Yoshi's Island. The gameboy games weren't bad either but the lack of colors puts a dent in the visual to me.

That's not saying I don't like to PLAY SMRPG or anything because it's still great to replay but that's what I prefer visually at least.

>>5560453

Super Mario 2 has my favorite aesthetic. The pot dimension, phanto, wavey dreamlike feel of everything is so fucking rad.

>>5560418
Everything about this post is so soaking in bad taste and outright being wrong that I want to say it's a parody post.

>>5560298
>on NES
Retro fag, the NES had a horrible look.

>>5560418
Does SMB3 on NES has any other colors but black, white, green, blue and brown?

>>5560703
>I don't like the pre-rendered look in SMRPG at all.

I don't like to pertake in the whole "my favorite best, your favorite shit" extremist stuff, I think all the main SMB games have a pretty good aesthetic and they're all rather unique but yeah I like SMW the best probably.
I love the looney tunes-esque gags during the cutscenes a lot too. SMW Mario sprite is my favorite depiction of Mario.

>>5560294
personally i prefer the super mario all stars style of SMB1+Lost levels. Its fucking gorgeous. Everything in SMW looks like its made out of plastic. pic related. also
SMB3 on snes > SMW

>I don't like the pre-rendered look in SMRPG at all.

I don't get this. It's one of the best renditions of Mario ever. It falls right alongside all the portrayals of him throughout the japanese cartoons, the commercials, and his adaptive nature. It only looks bad if you're emulating, and even then the japanese charm shines through in the animations.

>>5562081
>Everything in SMW looks like its made out of plastic
Really? to me most of the walls and assets look like they're edibles.

>>5560294
in a world where smw2 doesn't exist, maybe

Best looking? Maybe, it does look appealing. Best 2D mario game? Heck no. That's SMB3.

>>5562081
I used to love those gradients.

No, it's the worst. Worst to play too

>>5562104
the pipes look delicious, otherwise most elements look very poorly made and suffer from being 'flat' with a lack of consistent light source on both tiles and sprites.

>>5560294
I prefer all the All-Stars remakes of the original three.

>>5561321
Let's hear your response then.

>>5562081
>personally i prefer the super mario all stars style of SMB1+Lost levels
Never thought I would hear that in my life

SMW2 > all

SMW is my favorite game ever, but I don't think it looked all that great visually. Yoshi's island looked much better (though I don't care for the cartoonish landscape). The colors were amazing in SMW2

>>5562170
OP never said anything about SMW being the best game, just the best looking.Don't be so defensive about SMB3.

>>5560294
Overall, it had a very good style.
The only problem I have with SMW's graphics is that colors were often a little washed out.

Its quite ugly compared to Mario 3. Also every level uses 1 of 2 tile sets, just different color

No

>>5562205
>>5564453
Cringe

>>5564461
Nice argument dummy

>>5564465
cherrypicked pics are not arguments either.
go back to /v/.

Even the title screen is ugly. What's with those disgusting wooden planks around it? Not to mention the mspaint bush

>>5564480
fuck off to /v/

>>5564474

Maybe you should stay out if this thread if you don't want to discuss the topic. Keep crying

>>5564453
>still cherrypicking
You should really update your pic. I know you will still prefer SMB3, but you come off as really, really biased.

>>5564480
I like the wooden borders, comfy.
Also I like thath the title screen is actually one of the Special World levels, I didn't realize that until recently for some reason.
>>5564486
Not him, but your bias got boring years ago.

>>5564526
>>5560294
SMW>SMB3

>>5564526
>>5564542
SMB3 and SMW.

>>5564542
No. SMW is the gay cousin of SMB3. And 2 (the one that's really Doki Doki blah blah). 3 has variety while Supah mawio wuld is the same boring crap over and over, same maps, boring map interaction and generally shitty graphics.

>actually arguing about which Mario is the best
Oh, this slightly different game is 100x better than the other, even though they're 99.9% the same. Jesus christ, these are literal little kids games, grow up already and play real games.

>>5564557

Nintendo doesn't innovate at all unless they're really desperate

Why are worldfags so easily triggered?

>>5564557
I don't really get how someone can love SMB3 and hate SMW, to me they're both great.
>boring map interaction
Strongly disagree, SMW's map interaction is one of its high points. The way you can choose different pants, find secrets, end up in different places of the world map. It works as a cohesive world, properly. SMB3 has nice maps but there's little to do outside of using the hammer in a few worlds and the raft on world 3.
Mind you I love both, but World outdid 3 with the map interaction.

Why are smb3fags so autistic?

>>5564583
Because the guy who's obsessed with the whole 3 vs World thing is an anti-World guy. He's been at it for years now.
I hope it's all ironic.

Why /v/tards cant stay on their board for once?

>>5564592
Maybe he had a traumatic event as a child? Like, maybe the day he got SMW his dad died, or his school bully liked SMW or whatever.
It's kind of weird how he's so fixated with shitting on World irrationally and so consistently over the years.

>>5564591
All we're saying is the truth which is that the height of Mario games was Super Mario Bros. 3, but worldfags are triggered because muh extra 8 bits!!

>>5564601
>we
hahahahaha

>>5560294
SMB1 and SMB3 both look better, aesthetically, even if they aren't as advanced tech-wise. I always felt SMW was a bit bland looking, even back in 1991. It didn't help that even Sonic looked much better than it.

>>5564608
I'm one of at least two SMB3 supporters in this thread. Are you also suggesting that no one else loves the real best Super Mario game?

>>5564601
Too bad the definitive version of SMB3 is the All Stars version.

stay delusional

>>5564610
>I always felt SMW was a bit bland looking, even back in 1991. It didn't help that even Sonic looked much better than it.

^See?

>>5564617
careful you will make him post more cherrypicked charts.

>>5564617
No, it isn't, the NES versions are the gold standard. Are you going to hold the world to the awful Ninja Gaiden Trilogy on SNES too?

>>5564620
you are the only one who gets angry and post retarded images.

Yoshi's Island has the best aesthetic.

What's the point of this discussion?
None of you give any arguments (especially not the cherry-picking autist who posts collages). It's just "I like it"; "I don't like it".
Like, fine... it's your opinion, but why does it matter?
From an objective stand point, all of them look rather good art direction-wise. Subjectivities are not that important.

>>5564626
>you are the only one who gets angry and post retarded images.

I'm laughing my ass off; you've mistaken me for someone else, and I've never posted an image in this thread.

>>5564637
took long enough

>>5564658
Claiming not-samefag is futile on anonymous boards anyway. Even if you aren't samefag, it's better to not reply. Wanting to announce you're not a samefag is samefag's typical reaction.

>>5564667
stfu

So for the adults, play SMB3, but if you like goo goo ga ga sounds and colored blocks you can chew on, supah mawio wuld has got you covered.

imagine being this mad because you got exposed

>>5564674

>>5564623
I don't give a shit about Ninja Gaiden. All I said was stating the fact that you shit on World for being 16 bit, but the best version of SMB3 is also the 16 bit version.

5564682
hahaha owned xdxd

>>5564683
>, but the best version of SMB3 is also the 16 bit version.

Sorry about your shitty taste, anon. :(

Maybe it's not even a real Mario/Nintendo fan and just some anti-nintendo guy wanting to stir shit falseflagging? Wouldn't be surprised, really.

>>5564637
This. Too bad the actual game is shit.

>>5564686
NES graphics are complete garbage, deal with it.

Yoshi's Island is basically Donkey Kong 64 in 2D.

>>5564729
retard

>>5564734
Yoshi's Island sucks, dude. Every bit of challenge in the game revolves around collection worthless coins and other shit. If you're not collecting worthless shit the game is easier than a Kirby game. Even Donkey Kong Country is a more well-made game experience, despite looking like ass.

i like both dkc and yoshi island. now fuck off.

>being so desperate that you now shitpost about yoshi island
its time to admit defeat autist.

>>5564747
I 100%ed that game in 1995. It was not worth it. Yoshi's Island is a boring as fuck game designed for stupid babies who are bad at playing video games.

>>5564753
>stupid babies
I read that part in Arnold Schwarzenegger's voice. Good word choice.

>>5564753
t. confirmed lazyass with short attention span

>>5564775
I would have said babies, but then I realized Yoshi's Island is too easy for regular babies. They have to be babies of below average intelligence.

The elf that lives in your knee told you that, didn't he?

>>5563603
I prefer it too. Now you got to hear it for the second time.

I also prefer all stars

I used to prefer the All Stars versions of all the games when I was a teen, but I kinda grew out of it. Now I prefer the originals in every single case.

>>5563729
not a mario game, but thanks for your contribution.

So this is less of a "I love SMB3" thing, and more of a "World is shit!" shitposting rampage by one guy.
I'm thinking >>5564695 is right.

>>5564742

>>5565127
Mario is in it

Mario has very little style beyond plummers & mushrooms. Pic related is god-tier aesthetics.

>>5565431
It is, but so are the Mario games.
Yuji Naka himself said that there would be no Sonic without Mario. And not because of NOA's reason ("we need a mario killer"), but because Naka actually loved SMB and was inspired by it.
Mario games stopped being about plumbers after the arcade Mario Bros. It's more about a Popeye-like character who eats mushrooms, flowers and other rare edibles to become superhuman and fight a tribe of black magic lizards that torment a weird group of shroom people who have a hot chick as a princess. It's pretty wacky when you think about it, it has a classic charm to it, like a 30s cartoon.

>>5565382
>there's only one person who can possibly prefer 3 over world
How pathetic and dense can you be?

>>5565443
Not him, but I think it's not so much about preferring 3, but the deep hatred or obsession the guy has with World

>>5565431
sonic 1 has awful drab aesthetics, every single sequel did it better

>>5565446
He could spam "SMW IS SHIT REEE!!" everytime someone mentions that game for all I care. Same thing happened with Castlevania IV, Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid and so many other games I and other people love and it didn't change anything either.

If that makes him less miserable for a moment then so be it, I couldn't care less to be honest.

>>5565389
so does mike tyson's punch-out dumbass.

>>5562081
>Everything in SMW looks like its made out of plastic

This. I always hated the way SMW uses its colors. It gives a very 'inorganic' look to the scenery and things dont come together nicely.

I still enjoy the game though, its probably the best platformer there is

Why are SMB3fags so insecure about people liking other Mario games?

>>5567064
no one cares go to /v/ with your trolling bait or whatever it is

>>5567354
I'm the Yoshi's Island guy from yesterday. I'm not the SMB3 guy.

Yoshi's Island is still a bad game.

That's is all.

>Plain black backgrounds on a 16 bit console game

>>5560294
SMW's aesthetic has always been my least favorite part of it. In the grand scheme of retro vidya, it still looks great, but I vastly prefer the look of all three NES titles. The color palette is a bit washed out compared to those games (especially SMB3), and there are some design choices that make it look a bit janky in places, like the blown up sprites on those crushers in castle 1 or the pipe resting on top of those ground tiles in the OP pic. Of course, I totally get that those were probably just a consequence of it being a launch title.

Also, the levels look a bit samey relative to SMB3's more varied worlds, although that's a problem that SMB1 and Lost Levels suffer from to a much greater extent.

>>5565431
This is also true. The Genesis Sonic games are some of the coolest looking classic titles ever.

>>5565431
Sonic 1's aesthetics made me drop Sonic 3 & Knuckles as my favorite pre-Adventure one. They are so carefree and magically "CG", especially the (easy-to-access) bonus level

smb3 lacks soul

>>5560294
Super Mario Bros. 1 and 2/Lost Levels looked the best because Mario looked like a fucking grown ass man and the bricks looked like bricks...solid as fuck.

Prove me wrong.

>>5562081
>Criticizes SMW for looking plasticy

>>5565494
Sonic 1 looks better than 2 and CD so you're wrong as hell.
