But honestly what was his @$$ when he did presentation. Is it really that bad?

"zero story value...and a "vacation" theme is rather a shocker"

Did they expect much of a story, most mario games dont have one. I dont see whats wrong when the game is just doing what it has done before. Its like they suddenly expect it to have one when they know it wont, so they say thats bad.

And the vacation thing a shocker? How long have they known about SMS? They did go to E3, no? Oviously they are on a vacation.

But overall, its one of the most fair reviews Ive seen.
I believe they are being more critical on sequels, not Nintendo games in general.

And the shocker thing was most likely sarcasm.

In any case, I'm still buying Super Mario Sunshine.
