It has been an exceptionally long time since a Mario title generated as much debate as has been seen following the announcement of Super Mario 3D World at E3 this past week. Truly, the skeptics are out in droves this time around and the Nintendo die-hards are ready and waiting to defend their beloved company to the bitter end, creating an atmosphere of discontent about the game that no one can seem to shake with ease.
Beyond all of that noise, however, there remains one question: If you can ignore the expectations– the past heights the series has seen– how does this game stack up?
Unfortunately, at its best, the answer to that question is a lackluster “fine”.
Austin caught up with Grant Kirkhope, the composer of Banjo-Kazooie among many others, about a wide array of topics… including the DK Rap!
Probably the best photo from the day.
This final E3 2013 episode has impressions of Killer is Dead, The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, some final thoughts on Super Mario 3D World, and much more. As always we get your listener mail and go over some categorized favorites at the end of the show, like our favorite booth attendants!
