Forums - Nintendo Discussion - What really pissed me off from the Nintendo Direct

Tagged games:

I see a lot of people complaining about Wii U ports to 3ds, pikmin sidescroller, blah blah blah.

 

Only thing I'm frustrated with is Mario Sports Superstars. Out of all the sports they could've picked, they chose HORSE RIDING. Really? I mean, how many people actually ride horses or find it interesting? They could've picked a more popular sport like basketball...

 

If they wanted horseback riding so badly, they could've at least added more games. considering how Wii Sports Resort has 12 games for 50 bucks(at its time- it's not available for 10 dollars or less), I think Nintendo can add Basketball and an extra 1-3 games.

 

I don't want to complain though(or whine). The game itself isn't bad. I'd give it a solid 7ish. Just felt like they could've done more with the game.

You know what ? I agree, not because I find Horse Riding worthless (from the gameplay it looked similar to Mario Kart) but because it's HORSE riding. We are talking about Mario, why isn't there Yoshi Riding instead ? it'd be 10 times better. I don't care if Yoshi is a playable character, make him ride another Yoshi...

I thought about this... I shouldn't have thought about this...

I said we should find a better sport, not make some kinky Nintendo porn

The horse racing looked quite fun to me. Horse racing games are quite popular in Japan by the way (see: Derby Stallion franchise). That's probably why it's in.

I wouldn't mind Hockey and Basketball next time.



Yeah horse racing is kinda lame but the game in general looks good.



                                                                                     

More than anything, I'm just sad we're getting an actual "realistic" soccer game (with realistic meaning based somewhat loosely on the actual rules of soccer). Makes the chances of another Mario Strikers that much worse.

I was hoping for Tenpin Bowling. I could definitely see some fun Mario variations done in a Bowling game.

But I wouldn't say I'm "pissed off" about their choice. I'm sure it'll be fun, and that's really all that matters.



Horse Riding stupid? Have you ridden a horse? It's fun!
