New Super Mario Bros. Wii
 
This game will be the bomb! I am sure it will be best of '09! Why did I spend my $50 on TMNT Smash Up over this??! :roll:

Just pre-ordered this yesterday, while geting Wii resort. It does look like it will be awesome, and kinda nostalgic.

Lieutenant Granitor 11-07-2009 10:00 PM

Pre-ordered, this is my most hyped up game right now, even more then MW2 :)

Zachatello00 11-07-2009 10:05 PM

Ditto. It's about time to blow the dust off the Wii and get it going again.

I still wish that Princess Toadstool would have been the 4th character rather than a second Toad, but I guess I can't expect Nintendo to hit the nail right on the head.

Lieutenant Granitor 11-07-2009 10:09 PM

Your sig is lovely :)

Zachatello00 11-07-2009 10:18 PM

Thank you! As is Miss Scarlett herself.

Sadly, it's been awhile for me too since I've played a Wii game, but I've definitely been looking forward to this one. I really enjoyed NSMB on the DS and this looks even better.

Yeah, I own the DS one and it's awesome! This will be better though, I'm positive. ;)

New SMB was neat at its release, but it doesn't hold up well. The game is pretty basic by Mario standard and easy as it gets. By going the 3D route, they opened up nearly infinite possibilities for new ideas that largely went wasted for the sake of keeping things simple for the damn non-gamers. In fact, I'd go as far as to say there was little to nothing in New SMB that couldn't have been done one Super Nintendo easily.

With lots of outlets calling New SMB2 the hardest in the series, clearly this game is going to kick ass. They're actually using the hardware to do some cool stuff this time out. I'm excited.

Barkworm 11-08-2009 10:14 PM

I for one never liked the DS one, I thought it was boring as hell. What I've seen of this new one looks promising but I'm not messing my pants yet.

So you like Monkey Island better heh? SAD!

Peanut 11-08-2009 10:15 PM

I would contend that no Mario game has ever been "hard" and even calling one "tough" would be a stretch. The challenge levels in Sunshine is where difficulty in Mario games begins and ends.

Please, go away. Being an idiot here isn't beneficial to you. Your best bet is to spam your sh*t somewhere else, it won't be tolerated in this section.

And if I remember correctly, even there a lot of the difficulty came from the horrible camera.

Most of the time. The later ones are truly difficult though.

I was beign rude, I am sorry. Man it's like I can't do anything right to please people :( Can I do anything to make it up to you guys, I am serious...
I think I acted like Tracy from Biggest Loser!

Barkworm 11-08-2009 10:24 PM

Here's an idea for a start: Take a break and stop replying to everything!

You can shut the f*ck up and stop spamming. This is like the tenth time I've seen you apologize for being retarded. Just knock it the hell off.

ThirdMarioBro 11-09-2009 02:35 AM

I'm not going to be playing it until Christmas. I have an old tradition. If a Mario game launches in November, I save it for Christmas to try and keep alive that little kid in me who went crazy when he unwrapped Super Mario World and that brand new SNES in 1991.

Besides, it'll give me more time to finish Brutal Legend and get into Assassin's Creed 2.

poiuytre 11-09-2009 05:54 AM

Not a bad idea there, TMB. I'm not the biggest Mario fan but I just might join you.

Powder 11-09-2009 06:04 AM

As mentioned earlier, sunshine = difficult on a whole new level for mario.

You know, if you told anyone that outside of this forum or gaming community, they'd call you one creepy f*cker. Well, I still think you are. :|

A little *too* Raph 11-09-2009 08:13 AM

I am pretty excited for this game. I agree with having Princess Toadstool (or Peach) as the fourth character though, then it would be like a happy mix of Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 2. It'll still be awesome though.

XERO 11-09-2009 12:00 PM

Ever since I saw Super Mario Bros. Z ep 8 on Newgrounds, I await the return of the Raccoon, Tanooki and Sledgehammer suits.

Duke 11-09-2009 12:52 PM

I've always missed Kuribo's Shoe.

XERO 11-10-2009 09:46 AM

Hell, we need the f*cking POW Block back.

Good news, everyone!

Leo656 11-10-2009 02:20 PM

I mark out for anything Mario pretty much, I can't wait for this game.

And for whoever asked, hells yeah Mario Sunshine is worth it.

As for difficulty, I thought one or two of the mazes in Lost Levels were a bit tricky, but mostly b/c I'd always run outta time just as I figured them out, then not remember what I'd just done like two minutes earlier when I had to run the maze again. But I agree, most people probably don't play Mario games for a challenge.

I'm gonna start Galaxy soon. Any good? (like I gotta ask, just curious what you folks think)

Super Mario Galaxy may be my favorite game ever!

A little *too* Raph 11-10-2009 03:32 PM

I also enjoyed Galaxy

Powder 11-10-2009 03:53 PM

When I first started playing galaxy I was unsure.. But I ended up LOVING IT. It ranks high for me. I think you'll dig it, theres alot of cool new mushrooms in it, very much so like SMWii

XERO 11-10-2009 04:02 PM

Galaxy is the sh*t and I haven't even played it yet besides the demo. Nobody I know with a Wii has it.

Bunch of dumbasses.

Barkworm 11-10-2009 10:35 PM

Mario Galaxy is my alltime favourite Mario game.

Leo656 11-10-2009 11:02 PM

Better than Mario 64? Great googly-moogly... I once spent my entire Christmas vacation playing that game back in high school... sounds like I might need to wear a helmet for this one. :o

ThirdMarioBro 11-10-2009 11:53 PM

Barky called it. Galaxy is way better than 64. It feels stiff and rigid in comparison to Galaxy's magic, music, and marvel. Its tied as my favorite Mario game with Super Mario World. Those are some pretty think nostalgia memories to rival, so you know its good.

XERO 11-11-2009 08:15 AM

Not only that, Luigi's ACTUALLY in it!

Gah, I so need to play that masterpiece.

I think opinions about that were pretty mixed around here when we alll first played it. I believe it's a much greater experience overall.

Cure 11-11-2009 11:26 AM

I enjoyed Galaxy more simply because it felt more epic and...grander.

Spoiler:
Also, has anyone seen the video of the final boss for this game? I saw it and it felt kinda lame.

Peanut 11-11-2009 11:31 AM

I like Mario 64 better than Galaxy for two reasons.

1) While the music in Galaxy is "beautiful" and all that, the music in SM64 is, unquestionably, much more memorable.
2) The setting. I don't know why, but I did, and still do, dislike the fact that most of Galaxy takes place on a bunch of tiny floating platforms and spherical planes. I much prefer "worlds" or "levels" in the classic sense of the term, much like the level where you first get the bee suit in Galaxy.

Dire, Dire, Docks. 'Nuff said.
