This is good news, I was dissapointed by SMS, I hope this "Mario 128" will be better.

That was the SpaceWorld demo, remember???

That's what C-E said, that it was based on that demo... perhaps just speculation though.

Well, Mario 128 was originally a demo for the Gamecube Hardware, and it featured 128 Marios going over a round board.... each doing a specific thing. It was interesting, and I wonder how they're turning that into a game... :confused:

They better not make some sort of stupid game like that. I want a real Mario game for once.

Yes, when Shiggy hinted that he wanted to do things he couldn't in Mario Sunshine... well.... it's a possibility. ;)

The demo just showed the power of the console... Like how many moving things could be going at once, each made up with a bunch of polygons and whatnaught.... I wonder how they will make that into a game, though. Its probably going to be totally different.

I think Mario 128 will be online. It just seems like a game that could show what the 'Cube can handle;) and about Pikmin 2. Hopefully they will add more replayability. After I beat it the first time, I didn't ahve an urge to replay the game again.

Shigeru Miyamoto comments, "'Pikmin 2' and the 'Mario 128' game that was shown at the [GameCube] unveiling are both in development." Miyamoto elaborates a bit about the latter title, stating "I believe that with this game you'll be able to feel the "newness" that was missing from Mario Sunshine."

This "newness" factor is kind of exciting. Wonder what it could be?

However, right now I'm much more excited about Pikmin 2.

'Mario 128' better be a new 2D Mario game...

didn't like Pikmin, so I'm not excited about Pikmin 2

I miss Nintendo's glory days (NES, SNES) :(

Please people, even the smartest man in the world countly make that demo a game. If anything, its a code name, and/or online term.

Umm... Umm....

MEGATON!

*runs and hides*

EDIT: Lol, is anyone actually thinking about this anymore? I mean, it's not even half-past december, and people have already given up hope. I've seen no mention of it anywhere. See? It's pretty cool, because it's going to hit everyone in their low hopes when the word has finally disappeared.;)

What exactly killed the megaton? Matt Casamassina calling Nintendo of AMERICA for christ sake and getting some sort of confirmation? Anyways, why would NCL tell NOA if it's going to be a suprise? Nintendo's exact words are "There is no announcement that we are aware of".... if you ask me I think they're up to something. We've still got 3 good weeks until the Megaton rumour can at least be announced a "fake", and I think that call to NOA is bull****.

Anyways, sorry about the Megaton rant.

Yeah i dont think it has anything to do with the demo at spaceworld :unsure: the demo at spaceworld was jus to show how the gamecube could do things on the fly like cell shadin and stuff.. i really cant remember everything that happened in the video..
