New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

Surprised there wasn't a thread yet on this new Wii game:

November 11th only a month away!

Will play through single player first of course. But I have a co-worker at my job who loves old school Mario. I'm gonna plan a party where we can all get together and play the game all the way through.

Anyone else planning a Mario party?

Pass. No online play...WTF were you thinking Nintendo?

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

Perhaps with enough demand they'll put in a patch for online? Write an angry letter to Nintendo! -wink-

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

so what if you don't have anyone you want to play with? can you play solo?

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

I don't care about the co-op play at all.

It's a freakin' traditional 2D Mario console game for the first time in years. Give it to me, now!

Yeah the game looks really fun!

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

I'm not sure if your -wink- is a sign that you know the Wii doesn't support game patches.

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

I am so getting this for my wife and I to play! Mario games don't need online co-op in my opinion!

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

They talk about this on the latest Giant Bombcast. Basically saying the game wouldn't be fun without people in the room, because you can actively help or completely screw them over. Playing online wouldn't be the same at all.

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

Can't they come up with a new name? My kids have every Mario title from the 64 up (including handhelds) and so many sound the same. While I don't play our Wii, I like the Mario Galaxy title because it was easily distinguishable...'Hey, let's play Galaxy (or Sunshine on Cube)'.

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

Mario Party was already taken ;) It's meant to be name recognition for the casual Wii owners.

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

As long as it's geared more towards the single-player experience than co-op, I'm in!

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

Even if there was online play, i'm sure it would be terrible like Smash Bros.

I'm still looking forward to it, given how awesome New Super Mario Bros. was on the DS. I haven't been a fan of any of the 3D Mario games at all, so a side scrolling one is right up my alley.

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

This is so awesome!

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

Hell. Yeah.

Koopa Kids? Is this their first appearance since SMB3?

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

Um, the kids were in Super Mario World, weren't they?

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

This looks interesting, but is it just the DS game converted for the Wii or something new? BTW, they let you use the virtual console controller, right?

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

This is a brand new game for the WIi, not the DS game that was released a while back just updated for the Wii. It has the same art style it seems, but that's about it from what I can tell. It's the first 2D side scrolling Mario game for a home console since SMW for the SNES back in 1991.

Gimmie, gimmie, gimmie!

Yep, they were.

Just look at this...

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

Not all of us have friends locally :(

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

They were also in Yoshi's Safari and Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga.

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

You guys are getting me excited more and more everyday for this game...

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

Never played those and can't recall them in SMW. :shrug:

Re: New Super Mario Bros. Wii thread of old school gaming goodness
 

Did you forget about SMW2: Yoshi's Island from 1995, or do you just not count it as part of the series?
