I wonder if that would make level creation more sparse as level creation would be a bit more complex? It would make it more authentic, but much more complicated to make, if each theme had its own physics. I'm not 100% sure whether I want it one way or another. There are still the issues with the powerups missing from one theme to the next, so switching from NSB with a required helicopter hat meant switching themes made an unfinishable level. In terms of the same physics engine aspect, I think that might have had more to do with being able to seamlessly swap themes while making a level since jumps in one theme would work the same as jumps in another theme. I think the "slowly unlock" aspect was weird - I hope they ditch that too. And in the event you happen to not want screen wrap for your particular vertical level, you could simply wall it off as we saw in the trailer. Screen wrapping would certainly open up some interesting design possibilities. This got me wondering: if the maker doesn’t put walls on a single screen width vertical segment, might screen wrap work in such segments (either in all styles, or just SMB3)? Both these segments are also a single screen width, and while they are both in SMW style, they both featured walls on the left and right side of the screen. ![]() Now in the SMM2 trailer, we see two examples of vertical scrolling, one with the little Tornado guys, and later an auto scrolling segment with para-buzzies. Here’s a clip of 5-2, where you can seen the screen wrap at work at 0:55. This was demonstrated in 7-1 and also in 5-2. To explain, if the player moved all the the way to the left side of the screen, they’d appear on the right, and vice versa. 3, such vertical segments of a single screen width featured screen wrapping. Should you favor having more than one display at a time, don't have a lot of cash to spare on more expensive monitors, and aren't too fussed about the benefits of curved panels, then flat displays will remain a great option.I was thinking about the potential of vertical levels, and I recalled that in Super Mario Bros. In other words, curved monitors take you into "ultrawide" territory.ĭo you often game, have a large budget, and will remain in a single spot? Go curved. It's also worth noting that you'll be moving to a 21:9 ratio as opposed to the standard 16:9 on flat panels. Should you be someone who only does work on the PC and never fires up a game, a flat panel may prove more useful, coupled with a high resolution for improved productivity. With a curved panel, you're going to want to hit at least 30-inches as anything smaller may make benefits harder to spot. First off, while they're more affordable than earlier releases, the latest curved models can still set you back around $1,000. However, for everyone else, it depends on a few factors. Now that we've gone over the positives and drawbacks of curved displays, the question remains: should you buy one? It's not an easy one to answer because you may be someone who believes curved displays to be utterly pointless and so the answer would be a resounding no. There's also the case that you may not see the curvature of the panel to be positive, in which a flat screen will be the better choice. This also means you need to be in the right position to get the most out of a curved display. It'll prove vastly more annoying than on a flat panel. While it's true that curved displays do show fewer reflections, if you somehow manage to position the panel in such a way that light is directed onto it, you'll notice immediately. We noted better protection against glare and reflections, but it can also be viewed as a negative. A flat monitor may prove to be mount-friendly when it comes to walls and stands. It can make someone want to bend the sides, so they sit flush with the wall. ![]() Since the monitor is not flat and the wall is, the end result can appear strange to the eye when not viewing what's being displayed on-screen. A somewhat subjective take on curved displays is how they look when mounted to a wall.
