I'm not exactly excited, but I'll probably get it sometime this week.

Do stores have it today? I was planning on picking it up at Circuit City for $27.99, but thought it came out tomorrow...

Most stores will probably have it tomorrow or the 17th. I wouldn't hold my breath about getting it today.

That being said, I'll probably pick it up sometime, but not this week.

Same here. Along with about 10 other DS games I'm really interested in.

It comes out tomorrow, and it's great. I got a free copy last Thursday from Nintendo at E3 and played the crap out of it. I don't even like my DS, so this is an amazing feat Anyone who owns a DS MUST buy this game!

It's listed as 5/15. Maybe that's a shipping date...

The Circuit City flier specifically says they'll have it after 5pm tomorrow (Tuesday).

I believe there was a specific time listed in one of the others, too... either BBuy or Target. I think that one was sometime Weds. morning.

Super excited. My most anticipated game in a long time as the 2D Marios are my favorites of all time after only Super Metroid.

I'm picking it up at Circuit City tomorrow evening (assuming it's not sold out by the time I get there as I have a final exam until 7).

Yes, 5/15 is the shipping date.

So most game stores will have it tonight, the chain stores tomorrow or wednesday probably (check the ads for the date for each store).

CC is Tomorrow after 5 as posted above.

I am with you on this. I'm gonna hit up the CCity tomorrow night, in hopes of getting a cheap copy. I do not have a DS yet, but I figured this is as cheap as it will be for most of this year, so I'm planning ahead.

If they are sold out, I may try one other store. If I miss out... I'll wait.

Yeah I'm pumped, trying line up a ride to get to CC on tuesday. Even if happens though I be sitting on it till June 11th but that gives me plenty of time to memorize the smells of NSMB and look through booklet :0

Of course I'm excited. The promise of this game was one of the major reasons I got my DS in the first place.

In today's SJ ad, it shows $26.99, available tomorrow by 4pm. Beats CC by a buck.

Same here, this was the main reason I picked up a DS at launch. Though I find it ironic that NSMB is finally here, but I dont have my DS anymore as I sold it last week in preparation for the DS lite. I will still be picking it up at Fry's tomorrow, $26.99 is a great price, the wait til June 11 will be tough!!

I don't really know that much about this game. Is it just a remake of the original NES Super Mario Bros, with some added attacks? If so, I'll pass.

The simple answer to that is no. The original had 8x4=32 levels. This one has 80+. Expanded multiplayer modes.

By the way, has anyone confirmed if the 2-player mode is supported with single cart play?

it is a completely new mario sequel.
the first 2d sidescrolling mario game since "Super Mario World" for SNES, not counting the Yoshi games.
