What is the Best Super Mario Platformer?
This week we end our Super Mario marathon beginning with a quick discussion of Super Mario World 3D World for the WiiU before choosing what we each think is the best Super Mario platformer in our main event. Ending the show is our first-ever Hall of Fame segment. Patrick, Tim, Ricky, and Aaron each chose three games to put into the video games Hall of Fame. All this and more!

Super Mario Galaxy 2 Review
I think we can all agree that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is an outstanding game. It never rests on its laurels for a second, and while it began as an expansion pack for Super Mario Galaxy 1, Nintendo did a fabulous job in turning it into an exciting sequel. This week, we continue our Super Mario marathon and find ourselves arguing over which of the two games is better. But first, we discuss our problems with Super Mario Maker and what we hope Nintendo will add, and/or fix. Ending the show is a discussion of Star Fox Zero and why Nintendo delayed the release of the game after making it their number one priority at E3. All this and more.

This week, we had a lot to discuss and so we apologize in advance that the show runs a little long. First we discuss Nintendo’s newest president Tatsumi Kimishima, Pokemon Go, and the new Super Smash level. In our main event, we sit down and review Super Mario Maker and share our experiences so far with the new level creator. Finally, we list six video games that we want to see adapted to the big screen. All this and more. Joining us once again is Patrick Murphy.

This week, we continue our Super Mario marathon and finally get around to discussing the third 3D original platformer in the series after Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine. The iconic mascot’s long resume features some of the greatest platformers to ever grace any home console and on this episode, we are reviewing Super Mario Galaxy, created by Nintendo’s EAD Tokyo studio, whose first project was DK Jungle Beat, a disappointing flop for Nintendo. We also take some time to discuss the Mega Man movie as well as Runbow, the debut title from Toronto-based developer 13 AM Games.

NXpress #21: Pax Prime and a look back at ‘Super Mario Sunshine’

It was a brave move on the part of Nintendo to launch the GameCube without a Mario game. Instead, Mario’s younger sibling took the spotlight in a new series Luigi’s Mansion. It was six years after Super Mario 64 was released that Nintendo gave us Super Mario Sunshine. This week, we take a look back on Mario’s summer getaway, but before we talk about the beautiful tropical island of Delfino and the silver brush-wielding Mario, we have a full report on PAX Prime. Shovel Knight, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Runbow and Oddworld are just some of the many other games we discuss. It’s a crowded house this week as PopOptiq writers Patrick Murphy and Ryan Kapioski join us. And be sure to like our new Facebook page!
