Those are obviously bad pictures, as the movie of the game that was released last E3 looked outstanding. Sheesh, calm down people.

actually the movies from E3 had Mario Sunshine looking like crap just not this crappy

what were you watching ???

There must be something wrong with these pictures. Usually, the game looks better after the first pics (unless the first pics are renders that are "too good to be true". Which the original Mario Sunshine pics are not).

Yea..okay those pic\'s still suck. The Starwars game is by far the neatest game I\'ve seen on GC and that get\'s boring after about 5 minutes of playing it though.

A) Im on the worst 56k connection there is and they downloaded almost instantly  

I was expecting bad captures and was going to compare it to J&D pictures... but this..... look at the tree, the leaves... not only are thewsae bad pictures, but they are bad graphics.. BAD

i would expect the video to look better, but i wouldnt expect to be impressed..

Guess Nintendo doesn\'t think it\'s a big deal though since they\'re still marketing to kids that watch Sesame Street everymorning, as long as the colors are colorful and bright.

bah, i just figured it out, those pics have been enlarged

i remember when there were enlarged FFX pics floating around, it made their quality look like that

I read at some website that the backgrounds morph in some way. maybe the backgrounds are made up of paint and you(mario) have to wash out the paint with that little gun of yours.

Sounds silly, but it could be true.

This game looks more like a zelda game.  Mario needs to stay in his own genre.  "And that\'s all I have to say about that."

Uhhhhhh.......whats up with the graphics?  Looks kinda n64ish.......:thepimp:

I doubt that these are enlarged - mario and the trees have got real bad jaggies (results in enlarging an image) - but the score and the other icons aren\'t jagged (which they should, if they were enlarged).

those pics only took 20 secs each on my 56k modem. and they look shi*.

bah oh well

this game looks bad that if they turn this around they might be able to turn that BRuce Lee one around too

sees there is hope for everything

• The video from E3 looked damn good, in my humble opinion. Even if it didn\'t look "impressive" it looked better than these pictures. Now do you honestly think Nintendo downgraded the graphics this much? I  doubt it.
• On the same note, Nintendo is the harshest and most controlling company about not letting screens or previews out of games unless they are top-notch, which is the reason NOJ hasn\'t allowed any debug units out to the press to play beta copies of games. So, do you think Nintendo would release terrible pictures of one of its top-notch titles? I doubt it.
• Bob already hit this, but I\'ll do it again. Does anyone remember the FFX photos (enlarged,etc) that went around early on? They was terrible pictures which made the quality of the graphics look ****ty. Could that happen with Mario? Yes. Yet, most of you ignore that possibility.
•  Saying Mario SUnshine looks like a Zelda game is just plain odd. Was Mario64 a Zelda - like game? No. Mario Sunshine is the (non-offical) sequel  to Mario 64. So, how exactly is Mario Sunshine like a Zelda game?

My point? Most likely it is bad pictures (Something IGN has been noted for many\'a\'times). Wait until E3 (May) and see if the game looks any better - which I am almost positive it will. Not to mention, we\'ll know for sure how the game plays then, as NIntendo has said it will be in playable form .

*cough*


Er, considering the NGC is a textures powerhouse, don\'t you think this game should look at least a little better than J&D?

And for all we know, the footage shown previously wasn\'t from the actual game.  They might be pulling another Zelda/Celda on us.
