[JetBlackPanda]

Fuck YES! Nintendo coming on strong this year good shit!

 

[Deleted member 8095]

Where are you guys seeing the P meter and all that? TEEEELLLLLL MEEEEEE!

Edit: Never mind, I see it now! I LOVE MARIO!

 

[Erethian]

The first one matched SMB3 in sales didnt it? like 25+ million or something right?

26.21 million shipped as of the end of 2010.

 

[Azure Dream]

I really would like to see the screens again. I love me some 2D Mario, but what I saw looked really, really uninspired.

 

[MasterShotgun]

Looks like Nintendo got their money printing machine running again.

Dat momentum meter!

Looks a little less bland than NSMB DS and Wii too. Not much, but an improvement nonetheless.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

well it looks like new super mario bros., but wii was way better than the first ds one so this will probably still be alrig-

is that a p-meter and bolted on block


mother of god

 

[WillyFive]

^ Oooh! New font!

Seems like they realized that you can just use the same engine and assets over and over again and simply make new levels.

And Raccoon!

 

[Kamek]

Getting a very SMB3 vibe from this, but I was wishing for a more SMW styled game. Will be good nonetheless.

Yes just like the art style for the DS and Wii games....oh well hopefully the challenge will be there since the art direction is not.


Edit-but since it may be SMB3 inspired I may let it slide in the art department.

Mario Bros. 3 elements are best Mario elements.

[AniHawk]

i'm gonna bet that nsmb2 will be better than 3d land on the basis that the tanooki tail is being used correctly here.

really hoping this is more nsmbw than nsmb1

 

[Medalion]

P-WING IS BACK BITCHES!!!

 

[elrechazado]

Dammit, I thought this was going to be a new Super Mario Brothers 2 game, not "new super mario brothers: 2" if that makes sense.

I wanted to go back to dreamland and play as crazy legs luigi

@NintendoAmerica Mario fans get excited b/c New Super Mario Bros. 2 is launching for Nintendo #3DS in August! http://twitpic.com/9c86qo

 

[jett]

What is it with these games and the completely bland art design

 

[Oblivion]

Nintendo just shot themselves in the foot. :/

 

[Chet Rippo]

I am very happy about this.

 

[Kusagari]

I hope the Mario 3 elements make this actually good.

Mario games usually get released within the same week.

Yep, posted on their Facebook page as well:

This just in - New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be launching for Nintendo 3DS in August! This all-new, side-scrolling adventure features Mario, Luigi and all your fave characters from the Mario series. Are you excited to play?

 

[GCX]

I don't think Nintendo has ever announced a mainline Mario game like 3-4 months before release. Neat.

 

[Tookay]

I don't know, but I wish they'd knock it off.

 

[dimb]

Nintendo really working hard to prove they're creatively bankrupt.

 

[CrAzY FiNgErS]

Nintendo just shot themselves in the foot. :/

How so?

The art? Releasing all these Mario titles so closely together?

 

[DXB-KNIGHT]

The P- meter returns! Better Release it in August NOA
Edit: yes!

 

[AniHawk]

wait i just realized this could be super mario bros. 3-2.

 

[Gaborn]

Nintendo just shot themselves in the foot. :/

Better than where Vita is being shot

Spoiler

and yes, I know what you were referencing

 

[BassForever]

Nintendo just shot themselves in the foot. :/

Yeah and there foot is now bleeding out money which they'll use to buy a brand new leg and a brand new gun

OMFG

THIS IS AWESOME NEWS

 

[SpacePirate Ridley]

They need to pass already from all the SMB3 tribute games to the grand master SMW.

I want the cape back (real flying bitches), I want Yoshi going from stage to stage and a real overworld map.
Also I hope they dont remix SMB3 music for th nth time and put some tracks from SMW, at least the best catle theme to grace the games.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

P meter ftw.

 

[methodman]

Please have online co op.

 

[Platy]

Oh blue platform ... I hope you bring your white friend to this ... it is PERFECT for 3ds

 

[Oblivion]

For releasing it on the 3DS. Should have been a goddamned Wii title.


This one may very well be worse than the DS version.

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

Nintendo really working hard to prove they're creatively bankrupt.

Really? You are throwing that at a mario platformer? A series that shows more creativity in level design in 4 levels than entire games?

 

[Oni Link 666]

I am SO down for this. I still think they should have called it New Super Mario Bros 3(Tanooki Tail).

 

[Morts]

Sucks that they're using the same shitty art style, but NSMBWii was great despite it. I hope there's co-op again.

 

[The Wheel of Fortune]

Nice! We've got P-Meter, Racoon Tail and a new powerup, Golden Mario(It'll probably work like Metal Mario?). The art style is nice, too.

This game looks better than the Wii outing already(which was the blandest IMO); they must keep the multiplayer (and make it online). I hope that America and Europe gets it in August, too.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Nintendo really working hard to prove they're creatively bankrupt.

They deserve to after the genius of Mario Galaxy.

They need some filler before the EAD Tokyo Wii U followup.

 

[WillyFive]

I don't think Nintendo has ever announced a mainline Mario game like 3-4 months before release. Neat.

They are so common now we might have to start separating those mainline games into different groups. We got more Mario platformers this gen than the NES era did (actually, more like twice).

Really? You are throwing that at a mario platformer? A series that shows more creativity in level design in 4 levels than entire games?

Raising the bar like that pretty much killed competition in the platforming genre. And if they keep pumping out these games, each new release will be less exciting, no matter how good the game is.
