If you haven't seen it already, have a look at this thread on smwcentral, you'll be pretty much up to speed afterwards: Īs for the missing textures, it seems to me that the issues are caused when no fog settings are applied when importing your obj into the rom. I had been posting over at smwcentral instead of here, as things dried up a bit in this thread (I felt like I was talking to myself after a while). Some games just lend themselves for that (.Outrun 2 is another one of e on Sega!).First of all, I'm giving the Mario stuff a bit of a rest for now (as real life dictates). I'd pop in Super Mario Sunshine every summer just to explore the hub and first few levels if I could do that without hooking up a gamecube. As such I want them to be available on all modern systems in their original form, but preferably I'd also want them in a form that makes them feel a bit more modern every once in a while. Mario games, just like Zelda games, are games I go back to because their art and atmosphere are something I sometimes start longing for and want to revisit, not just their gameplay. On the other side: Mario? No, they don't need remakes, we just need new games! F-Zero? No, why would we need a new game if there is little to innovate upon? Kid Icarus? Just make one new game but never follow up on it because why do we need another main stay series? One one side you get: Zelda? Sure, remake those suckers all you want Aonuma! Mario Kart? Sure, just keep churning them out even if there is little innovation beyond graphics each new game! Star Fox? Just keep remaking the same game in terms of story but do add new control gimmicks! Very few games have that as strongly as this game.Īlso, I continue to be baffled by Miyamoto's stance sometimes and how this goes against the rest of Nintendo, leading to an almost hypocritical situation for Nintendo in general. To each their own but the main reason I'd want a remake of this particular game is because it still has a very unique holiday / beach resort / tropical setting and summer atmosphere that I start craving for when actual summer rolls by. Nintendo perfectly aknowledges this and doesn't want people to revive it. 240 blue coins hidden in ridiculous places. The worst final level and the worst final battle of any Mario game in Mount Corona. THREE battles against the same Gooper Blooper with no twist. More than SEVEN Dark Mario pursuits that are exactly the same. Terrible missions with tedious ideas like the watermelon festival or Yoshi's fruity adventure. Unpolished levels with gimmick mechanics that are barely unplayable, like the pachinko, the bottle or the waterlily river. Revisitations of those bonus levels, in order to get red coins. Repetitive bonus levels with nothing special about them. After that, the game becomes the very definition of repetition, unpolishing and tedium and nostalgy should not blind people about it:
As I've said in other ocasions, only the first three shines of each world or so are good. Sunshine is just an incomplete game with an incredible lack of content and an incredible ammount of stuffing.
It is not like Wind Waker, a game that with a pair of adjustements fixed a lot of its pacing problems. Sunshine doesn't have control, graphic or bug issues. Basically because a remake would not fix ANYTHING of its problems, which are overwhelming. This is getting ridiculous and I'm unable to understand how someone who is replaying this game reachs the conclusion that it needs a remake.
