Zero Punctuation: Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story

[coldfrog]

I always said the thing Mario needs more of is political parody. I'm hoping for "Mario and Luigi: Guerrilla Boot-stomping" next time.

PS: Thousand Year Door = 100 Years War? Have they been secretly teaching history though video games? Since I'm a public-school educated American shmuck, the best I can hope for historical comparison is "sounds similar."

If all of you people chiming "beutal legend" read extra punctuation you would know that it's next week.

So whats a chip sandwich? Or Jammie Dodgers and what I think was Majestic Nadia?

Chip Sandwich = Fries between 2 slices of bread and ketchup (although the image looked more like HP brown sauce)

Jammie Dodgers = shortbread cookie with strawberry jelly in the middle

the Nadia - No Idea but they were digestive biscuits which are somwehere between a wheat cracker and a cookie (great to dip in tea especially if you cant find a hobnob)

comedy as always. red, greasy ballons.....hilarious but will not be able to close my eyes for the next 12 hours

worth it though

I really agree with Yahtzee: Luigi is WAAAAY better than Mario, and we need more games starring him.

great review, I was trying not to crack up in the middle of the library lolll

 

[ssgt splatter]

I was kinda hoping for Brutal Legend but oh well. It was still funny though.

 

[TimeLord]

Good review, although I didn't find myself laughing once
*sigh*...

For some reason I laughed at the banana bit at the beginning. Twas the only laugh however

I agree on the hating kids part, although babies are the worst. Whining crying little shits. And they're always with parents that just tune them out. But babies can't really play games so there aren't any made for them. Not that Yahtzee couldn't find a way to tie babies into a review if he managed to get Shakespeare in a Mario game review...lol. On the whole Mario Luigi thing I never really liked either. Playing a Mario game before I got rid of that horrid Wii I've realized that Mario games are just so childish and boring anymore and have not the vaguest interest in playing anything that says Mario on it (Not that I can, my newest Nintendo is the Gamecube and I consider getting rid of it and just keeping the classic N64, SNES, and NES).

Awesome. I liked the previous Mario RPG on DS. Although I probably won't get it, since the combat was a bit tedious... Well, just like you said it - after you remembered how to dodge attacks, you are invincible...

This jumping system for Mario and Luigi sounds absoultely horrible for a platformer game, yet still this title seems quite interesting.

The Luigi Bros!

and i agree w/ how kiddie game shouldnt be synonymous w/ easy. some NES "kiddie" games still give me nightmares. Little Nemo comes to mind.

"...apparently they never got around their umbilical cords and can't move away from each other."
That brings out a really disturbing image in my head, but i suppose what "worked" in Super Star Saga is just fine to port to this Mario RPG (albeit i'm sure most people hated that system of control with a burning passion likened to that big ball of gas in the sky). Personally I think mario should be put out to stud before even the dimmest of the masses grows tired of his antics and Nintendo loose their cash cow.

I was under the impression that "One-eyed Demon" was an euphemism for male genitalia.
The subliminal implications of Yahtzee's reviews just took on a whole different nuance.

My first thought when he said that was Chzo, but only Yatzhee himself knows what he meant.

 

[WoulfeLoung]

He would look like a younger Larry, wouldn't he? That's it! The two are the same!

Awesome review, I was suprised you did pick this one. Might have to pick it up to play the... strength. Game. Yeah...

Growing up, my family only bought soft and bruised bananas because they were sweeter.

I was the black sheep because I didn't like ripe and mushy fruit. I preferred my bananas still green.

So although I agree with Yahtzee, I think most of the people out there disagree.

LMAO

THE FUCK IS THIS?!?!

 

[Kollega]

Is it me or Yahtzee gets boring? I know it's not easy to come up with new gags over and over,but his recent Wolfenstein review was simply hilarious - even non-limerick part. This one,on the other hand,was kind of bland.

Other thing: i suppose you beat I Wanna Be The Guy on maximum difficulty.

Other other thing: children may be stupid,but indulging in childish stupidity with them can be pretty entertaining.

EDIT: Also,my post count is 1337. Go me,i guess.

 

[BonerMacTittyPants]

Holy crap the part with moustache-less Mario being Leisure Suit Larry...

Thanks Yahtzee, now I will never be able to see Mario in the same way.

 

[jackelbeaver]

Wow this review is so written i'm gonna have to rewatch it like eight times or something

 

[Littaly]

Luigi doesn't jump higher silly, he just jumps longer
