Hahah, let's reuse a lot of SMB3 stuff now!

"New Super Mario Bros" is the most grotesquely hilarious misnomer ever, because these games never actually do anything new of note. It's a god damned shame this series prints money so hard, because now there is no reason for them to actually make a compelling and interesting NEW Mario 2D title.

 

[James Sawyer Ford]

Meh..

Would much rather have Super Mairo 3D Land 2.

 

[BlackJace]

Online Co-Op please. An online 4-player adventure would be stunning. On a handheld no less.

 

[SteeloDMZ]

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

Kid Icarus came less than a month ago.

Try harder.

 

[Oblivion]

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

It won't. Just by the reality of it being on handheld hardware.

 

[thecouncil]

Looks like just an average sequel. Same assets and everything.



The physics? How come?

the continuous running after you stop holding a direction and floaty jumping is really quite bad.

 

[AntMurda]

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


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

Hate to tell you you are wrong. But a Wii U version is still coming.

 

[BassForever]

Meh..

Would much rather have Super Mairo 3D Land 2.

They have to save something for E3

 

[GWX]

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).

And every single one of them was awesome. I'm loving this trend, and Nintendo too.

 

[Vanille]

Also disappointed it seems to be using the same tired world themes for the third time in a row. Fucking hell, Nintendo.

 

[Father_Brain]

So... They must be saving the big holiday title for E3. Nothing announced to date would fit the bill... huh.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

You know, the addition of a true flying item means that the level design in this game might have to change significantly compared to the last two.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Most Mario games control differently, I kind of like that even if I prefer the precision of one to another, keeps me from being stagnant.

 

[jett]

NSMB1's title was meant to be as a new game based on the original NES SMB. Of course, since the game went on to become even bigger than the canon games, it became it's own series, and the name stuck.

Kinda like how the Final Fantasy games have their names.

the continuous running after you stop holding a direction and floaty jumping is really quite bad.

Huh? That's one of the best gameplay mechanics of the NSMB games.

 

[shinra-bansho]

Title needs a SHOCKING NEWS.

 

[Chet Rippo]

August huh?

I need more monies...

 

[Platy]

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

I really wish the most of the industry was creatively bankrupt as nintendo ....

 

[Rootbeer]

Well... It'll sell but I can't say i'm excited. How much longer can Nintendo continue on with these rehashes and still get rewarded for it? I'd like to see more bold experiments like Kid Icarus Uprising.

 

[outunderthestars]

Was hoping for a different look to this one. I didn't particularly enjoy the last DS one either. Guess I'll just wait for the next 3d version.

 

[cacildo]

Yeah, nintendo...

I like you a lot, but... the same game again?

(If nintendo is pushing same New Super Mario for the third time, we can forget about anything new on animal crossing...)

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

You know, the addition of a true flying item means that the level design in this game might have to change significantly compared to the last two.

Unfortunately, so few care about level design nowadays.

 

[Mengetsu]

NEW MARIO GAME WITH P FUCKING WING AND KINGDOM HEARTS GAME IN THE SAME TIME FRAME?!!!!

 

[RoylAsult]

wait this is coming out in August of 2012 in NA? how is that possible lol

 

[TreIII]

Very interesting. I'll be preordering on Amazon as soon as possible.

 

[jman2050]

I like how we have two Mario platformers making it out before an Animal Crossing game announced before both of them.

I hate F2P, but if there was ever a game that would absolutely kill in an F2P format, it's Animal Crossing. So maybe that's the holdup!

Spoiler

Naturally, it's just Nintendo delaying as per usual.

 

[Aeana]

Yeah, nintendo...

I like you a lot, but... the same game again?

(If nintendo is pushing same New Super Mario for the third time, we can forget about anything new on animal crossing...)

The same?

 

[ThatObviousUser]

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

Can you imagine man... online co-op?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Yeah, nintendo...

I like you a lot, but... the same game again?

(If nintendo is pushing same New Super Mario for the third time, we can forget about anything new on animal crossing...)

yeah man remember nsmbwii, the port of nsmb ds???

 

[Oblivion]

Also, where are people getting this supposed EAD Tokyo vibe from? It looks almost IDENTICAL to all the other NSMB games. Unless they mean the tanooki tail was ripped from Mario 3D Land?

 

[BGBW]

Also disappointed it seems to be using the same tired world themes for the third time in a row. Fucking hell, Nintendo.

Grass world as world 1. That's pretty much convention. Can't really judge the complete content of a game on what is clearly a screenshot of Level 1-1.

 

[CrAzY FiNgErS]

Please have online co op.

Yes even with this art style the NSMB series has alot of room for impovements.

First they need online co-op as you said. Then add our "favorite" characters from the Mario universe to play as. I don't want to play as those 2 bland Mushroom men ever again! Finally, give us a real challenge Nintendo. I can live with the art style if these things are there.

 

[WillyFive]

Yeah, nintendo...

I like you a lot, but... the same game again?

(If nintendo is pushing same New Super Mario for the third time, we can forget about anything new on animal crossing...)

This isn't a remake.

 

[Zia]

I hate the way these games look.

 

[Neuromancer]

Screenshots aren't so hot in that YouTube video but I bet it'll look great in 3D.

 

[AntMurda]

Also, where are people getting this supposed EAD Tokyo vibe from? It looks almost IDENTICAL to all the other NSMB games. Unless they mean the tanooki tail was ripped from Mario 3D Land?

It's possible that EAD Tokyo is making the 3DS version, and EAD Kyoto is making the Wii U version. Both are NSMB games.

 

[entremet]

Meh..

Would much rather have Super Mairo 3D Land 2.

EAD Tokyo is probably finishing up Mario WiiU

 

[Levyne]

Nintendo could release 100 new ips but the moment Super Mario rears its head it's "lol Nintendo is creatively bankupt"

 

[Antioch]

Title needs a SHOCKING NEWS.

Not really, I don't think anyone expected it to come out as soon as August.

 

[ItWasMeantToBe19]

So, does anyone else think Nintendo releases the 3DS version in August without Miis and 4 player co-op and releases a WiiU as a launch title with co-op and Miis?

 

[Oblivion]

Hate to tell you you are wrong. But a Wii U version is still coming.

God, I hope not.

 

[Kokonoe]

They announced it for America in August as well.

https://twitter.com/#!/NintendoAmerica/status/193547198783438849

 

[MasterShotgun]

Wait, if this is releasing in August, Nintendo must have something even better up their sleeves for the holidays. That, or it's going to be all about the Wii U. Probably the latter, but I'll keep hoping.

 

[Dash Kappei]

HOLY SHIT @August

...please have a somewhat better visual style and be more like the Wii game, DS one was booooring.

 

[Gospel]

I hope there's white blocks

please be white blocks.

oh man, white blocks


white blocks

 

[Busaiku]

It won't. Just by the reality of it being on handheld hardware.

Freaking bigots!

 

[outunderthestars]

wait this is coming out in August of 2012 in NA? how is that possible lol

By reusing all of the same art assets?

 

[Sadist]

I wonder how Sony feels right now

 

[AntMurda]

God, I hope not.

Why. Nothing wrong with Nintendo establishing a constant feed of two types of platform Mario games. I could understand any qualms if NSMB was the only Mario platformer maintained, but Nintendo has been maintaining two main Mario platformers. Galaxy / 3D and NSMB.

 

[Lijik]

Grass world as world 1. That's pretty much convention. Can't really judge the complete content of a game on what is clearly a screenshot of Level 1-1.

The other three screenshots all show level themes past NSMB games have both covered.
Its a little disappointing, but if the level design is decent I can deal.
