Couldn't we say this for about 90% of retro fighting games? Most series get better with every new iteration with only a few notible crappy outliers like Tekken 4, Soul Calibur 3, the few shitty KOF games, and MK4.

Tekken 2 was amazing when it came out as it fixed many of the weird issues from Tekken 1. 3 was much better in almost every way, but tekken 2 was a great game when it came out.

>better than Kazooie
Only because it has boss fights. The excessive backtracking and shitty abilities ruined Tooie though.

>> No.3526162

>>3526157
I didn't mind the backtracking, I actually liked how it made all the worlds feel connected instead of being magical pocket dimensions.

The only thing that sucked balls was playing as Banjo Solo.

>> No.3526167

Sunshine sucked too, but the Galaxy games were based.

Mario is better when it's linear.

One of the genius moves of Super Mario Brothers 3 is that you can’t go back to a level. Once it is done, you must keep pushing forward. This kept the game from being bogged down with completing one level multiple times, it also didn’t allow the player to hang out in World 1 collecting 1-ups all day. Why such a simple concept like this is lost on the Nintendo people is a mystery to me.

Super Mario World was seen as a disappointment when it was released by many of the NES Mario fans. The game was extremely easy and is probably the easiest Mario game ever made. Worst of all, the game world wasn’t Dinosaur Land but it was actually Candy Land, it was so bad that the final battle of Super Mario World was Bowser in a flying clown car. Talk about a letdown!

>> No.3529226

I get bored as shit of Mario 3 after about 2 worlds. SMW is more fun and just feels better to play.

>> No.3529238

>>3529132
IMO the genius about SMW was that you could go back and find an alternate exist that unlocked new routes or switch palaces.

It was easy because the jump physics were perfected.

Favorite game of all time.

Having to replay easy levels that just roll over for you in order to get to more levels is just bloat. Even World's most praised element, the world map, is weaker then 3's it may get praised for its secrets and "united world" all the time, but it was considerably less interactive than SMB3's. Nothing on it like World 3's rising drawbridge or canoe. And there is no true choice. It is just a visual representation to unlock everything, 3 gave you level you could choose to skip, mini games to help you and a great multi player battle mode.

>> No.3530039

mario 3 is for arcade style gamers who like fast constant action. its full of levels of nonstop action that just keeps throwing new things at you

Mario world on the other hand is slower paced. It is aimed towards the lethargic console peasant crowd who have never beat an arcade game or even left the house to go play one. The game is more focused on exploration and finding exits its much slower paced than mario 3.

I love this game, and it's fight and jogging BGM is probably my favorite video game tune of all time, but I don't care if it's easier, I think the Wii remake is better in every way except for translating what the opponents say. Sure the career mode is way easier, but that's what title defense is for.

>> No.3530083

Nothing wrong with that. 1 & 2 have remakes that make playing the original a chore that should be undertaken by completionists or nostalgics. Doesn't help that Super Metroid is based.
