Honestly, I preferred the easier bosses in BIS compared to PiT and SS. Both PiT and SS had bosses with too many damn phases and too much HP. They were just irritating to fight and you had to make sure you had time to fight them. BIS was a little easier than I would've liked, but still the best out of the three in my opinion.
Yahtzee hasn't been worth watching in over a year. He does nothing but bring up his unjust hatred for the Wii in any Nintendo related video. He's nothing but a troll who pulls in idiots with flame bait.
I was pretty surprised when he said he liked it.
But I guess it IS kinda hard to hate the Mario RPG games, they're all so charming and fun.

Gah, this guy again. Sorry, his standards are WAY too high for me. I don't care if the guy is only acting this way for views. At least someone like AVGN is just a character (and he tends to stick to games many agree are bad most of the time anyway), but this guy's not playing a character at all, he's being a hard @$$ who's worse than MrBubbles when it comes to nitpicking every little freaking thing.
That's my opinion on him, complain to me if you want, I don't care.

And obviously you didn't watch the video or you would know that he loved the game.
This isn't the first time Yahtzee has given a positive review either. Others that come to mind are Portal, Super Mario Galaxy, and Psychonauts.
As for the nitpicking, that's Yahtzee's thing and why people watch him. When he did a review where he didn't nitpick (Psychonauts) everyone complained and wanted him to go back to nitpicking. So he nitpicks over every little thing because that's what people watch his videos for.

Man this guy got old pretty fast, he's so predictable and has more limited tastes in gaming than I do (and that's saying a lot). Even when he likes a game, he finds so many ways to nitpick it that it becomes annoying.
Um...I hate to break it to the two or three of you who didn't bother to watch before commenting. He actually liked it, and didn't really have anything bad to say about it.
Well...that was about as good as I could've hoped for.
But this guy's still seriously jumped the shark, Family Guy style. Someone needs to do a Zero Punctuation-themed reiew of Zero Punctuation itself.

And if you would have comprehended my comment, you would see that this has nothing to do with what I said.

Lol.. and it's not because what you said was funny but because you picked up on something that I picked up a looong time ago.

He "reviews" games with the exact same style from all consoles. Your irrational fanboyism shines bright when you act as if his negative commentary is saved solely for titles appearing on Nintendo's platforms, which it most certainly is not.

@Kirbylol
Thanks for bringing up something completely irrelevant to this review about Mario & Luigi Bowser's Inside Story.
And the review was pretty positive and he made an excellent point that the bosses were easier this time around.

The review wasn't very funny. I don't see why it couldn't have just been a normal, sensible review to be honest. First time I've heard of this "Yahtzee" but he came off as just a tw** to me.
If this guy really does hate on the Wii for no reason like some have said than i really don't want to watch any more of his reviews. In fact, i just don't want to watch another review from this guy ever again in general.
@Artistic_Anarchy
Who is Kirbylol. I can't find him :3

@IxisNaugus
He just hates on the wii because it's the "cool and trendy" thing to do. It gets him viewers.
*shrugs* how can he hate the wii if he loved SMG?
It wasn't exactly a funny review, but I agreed with most of the points he said. The idea of a poo-ing minigame for Bowser actually ocurred to me too. *shiver*
Also, WHY DIDN'T HE MENTION GIGANTIC BOWSER?!

SMG is an okay game, but the Wii, comparatively speaking, is a piece-o-shyte console with pointer controls being it's only innovation.

You know what's more tired than Zero Punctuation? All the people who come into the comments section every time a ZP video is posted to say how much they don't like them. Seriously guys, we get it. You don't like a very critical review. Personally, I do, cuz as a very avid gamer, I understand where his criticisms come from a lot of the time.
I liked this review.
Some of the little animations made me laugh.
Some of his gripes I can understand. If there was one problem I had with this VERY excellent game, it was that it was a little too preachy about every new move, attack or feature. I liked the separate jump thing though.

Wow, he LIKED this game?
That...is impressive...
I will have to watch.
His videos always make me laugh but I can't take him seriously -- he does this just for laughs as far as I'm concerned. It's like Angry Video Game Nerd but for modern games...only faster and, unlike AVGN, WAY overembellished for comical effect. At least AVGN's gripes are 95% legit. I mean, ONCE in a LONG while AVGN will exaggerate something but generally he's just expressing frustration with plain bad gameplay.
Yahtzee deliberately seeks out generally good games and rips even the tiniest things apart -- but does so in a witty way.
As long as you don't take him seriously then his reviews are comical and amusing.
THAT SAID, the game IS too wordy and slow in teaching you abilities most of the time.
Yahtzee tends to find seeds of truth but grows them into humongous disgusting thornbushes.

@Inneverate
Except what you said was totally unrelated to what this was in the first place.
@WesFX
Well, regardless, he liked this game and mostly talked about liking Luigi, and only said like one negative thing about the game, and it was the concept of pressing different buttons for them to jump.
@Garfitor
This 100%. A lot of people here just get butthurt about Nintendo games anyway. He's made just as much fun of non Nintendo games.
@BigLord
He's partially right, though. The Wii, as a console, is terrible. It's underpowered and underdeveloped in every way except controls and the fact that only like 3 devs besides Nintendo care about quality.
The controls and fact it's from Nintendo are the only really good things about it, and the pointer controls are the best, while everything else is just "lol waving it". You can't even really argue that.
Mario, Zelda, both waving around. Only now are we getting innovative controls that aren't just "shake this way" and "shake that way" and most of them are on casual titles.
If you have examples, excluding Balance Board and Motion Plus, since those are obvious, on what games use innovative controls really, then by all means.

Elebits, Kororinpa, Wario Ware Smooth Moves, Metroid Corruption, Zack & Wiki, LostWind, the list goes on...
I don't understand these losers that waste so much time trash talking something they hate rather than selling it if they own it, and move on.

Okay, you are entitled to your opinion.
The Wii also has incredible build quality, perfect backwards compatibility (Gamecube and VC), innovative controls, provides a unique experience, has the best local multiplayer experience, and importantly is strong enough to render pretty much every effect the HD consoles can output, but in SD (which the majority of the world still likes).
Hardware and software (which could be better I agree) are not the same thing, and you can't blame it for the third parties being retards.
As for games, you should know being on this site. There are games that could never be made anywhere else like Boom Blox and Zack & Wiki. There are games that are forever improved like FPS (traditional or not) games and sports titles (Tiger Woods). Hell even Mario Galaxy which although it did not RELY on motion, it would have to be incredibly dumbed down to fit anywhere else.

Sorry guys, but Yahtzee is finished. I am just plain bored of all the bullshit (SSBB review, The Conduit review and more), he has no respect for his audience (unlike AVGN, who has some balance) and his act has nowhere else to go.

You guys know you're not actually supposed to take anything Yahtzee says seriously, right? I like lots of games he reviews, but I still laugh when he makes fun of them. He's like the insult comic of video games. It's just for fun.
Pretty good review. As a person who plays games on ALL PLATFORMS (which some of you SERIOUSLY need to do) I can see where he is coming from with some of the issues he has with the game. Overall he said he enjoyed it, so saying "Whaaaaa! He hates Nintendo! Time to cry and complain! Whaaaaaa!" is really quite dumb.
@BigLord
yahtzee is like encyclopedia dramattica, if you hate something
watch/read what they have to say about it, if you like something, dont bother, because they will simply make s*** up just to piss you off
i truly dont believe half the stuff he says, mostly because of how he talks about what he does like, in other videos.

@Hongo
oh comon hongo, do you watch his reviews?
in "mad world" he spend about 40 seconds of the 3 minutes talking about the damn game, the rest was about how much he hates the wii and the people who like it

I just bought a wii and i have to be honest, the controls are total ass.
Zelda TP on wii is a nightmare compared to the GCN version, and playing AC with the wiimote (vs that of the nun) never detects what i'm trying to do, i sat there for 45 mins trying to shake a damn tree only to see the lil retard humping thin air.
wiiboxing, is about 47 moves behind my actual movements. mario galaxy gets very annoying when you're forced upside down and because the nunchuck is a total over priced piece of crap, it makes it even harder, which is odd because normally nintendo does control for that sort of thing VERY well.
10 out of 10 times, there is just too much going on for it to work correctly, and the times that the wiimote works best is when you're not really doing much with it, but even then it's iffy. spin attack in zelda is a b****.
I either have a bad controller, or am coming down with ALS, either way, i don't really think the controls so far are all that good.
...to the point at hand. this was a great clip. another great Yahtzee moment.
the problem is that most nintendo fans are 12 year old cupcakes with the nintendo logo tattooed to their butts...which is fine, but they get bent out of shape over the fact that the wii (though it has its moments) sucks, it sucks just like the ps3 and the 360 both do in their own ways likewise.
there are nintendo fans who would buy a rock if it had the nintendo logo painted on it, people like that will never get what Yahtzee is all about.
i happen to like halo, Yahtzee hates it and calls it crap...Yahtzee is a god walking among us mere mortals, and that's all there is to be said about that really.

EDIT: Oh, of course he switches the unfounded hate over to something else, children, so it's still perfectly in place.
