New Super Mario Bros 2 Announced For 3DS

[boombox]

Looks a bit too samey for my liking, but they did say they wanted continuity with the next...I'll still get it though.

 

[SpaceJump]

While I agree that the style is disappointing, let's wait for more footage and see how this turns out. Anyway, I'll get it. Yay, new 2D Mario

 

[adamdbz]

i think it will be fun to play that is the most important thing

This game will only entice me if the 3D is superb (like platforms popping out of the screen).

Or else, meh.

 

[heartgold]

Why are people complaining that it didn't turn out to be a 3D mario, we were already informed it would be a 2D type game. Re-used art style/assets is disappointing but hey if the gameplay is good then thats alright with me.

 

[Eerpow]

I'm so dissapointed about Nintendo reusing the same style and engine for this title, imagine how much more awesome it would be if they used the same 2D style as with Wario Land for Wii.

I'll won't get it but depending on the difficulty, level design, length, music... basically how original it is, I may just give it a try since I'm a sucker for speedruns.

or what happened to mario 128?!

It's really just Super Mario Sunshine.

Can't say I'm all too interested in NSMB anymore. While other franchises have made, y'know, interesting 2D platforming (like Rayman), NSMB just feels really bland and lifeless. Yeah, the level designs are solid, but it's still the same and the art is practically nonexistent. It just looks like SMB... But with 3D models instead of 2D.

EDIT: Also I'm really fucking sick of the Raccoon Suit. Why is Nintendo all of the sudden putting it in everything? Like are they trying to go "OOOOH WE LOVE SMB3!"? I mean it's just a Raccoon Suit, I'd rather they have new power-ups.

Good to see the return of the Raccoon suit and P bar - who knows, maybe we'll see Goomba's shoe in a couple of levels!! But, like has been said, it's difficult to get too excited about a game that currently looks near enough identical to the DS/Wii offerings.... a new 2D Mario is great and all but SMB1, 3 & World looked so different from each other... even when transported to Mario All Stars.
Another sucker for Mario games here - I'm sure I'll buy it, but once completed it'll probably just gather dust like the DS/Wii versions, can't see myself firing this one up 20 years down the line, unlike the NES/SNES adventures.... who knows, maybe we'll be proven wrong, it's only a couple of screenies after all!

they had a preview of all these marios on the screen at e3 or something a while back they said it was mario 128's engine and it was supposed to be released for the cube or was it the wii can't remem... anyway that's the last anyone ever heard of it

No its not, Mario Sunshine was a separate title.

Miyamoto in a GDC keynote confirmed that ideas for that were mostly put into Pikmin. Also some elements were used in Mario Galaxy.

So will this support multiplayer?
if not I'll just pass on this mario rehash

 

[Satangel]

I'm getting tired of this sadly, this isn't what I want anymore for a 3DS. Mario Kart is so epic though 3DS, fuck yeah

 

[Deleted_171835]

Eh, would have preferred a new 2D game not in the New Super Mario Bros. artstyle. Oh well, I'll still get this as the games are pretty enjoyable.

But these are all filler releases until Super Mario Universe (or whatever) on the Wii U. Large open-world Galaxy type levels in 1080p HD at 60FPS, omg.

 

[xxteargodxx]

Boring, I was never a fan of the Mario franchise, though I'm sure every other fanboy will be excited out their ass for another Mario game being whore'd out.

[Hadrian]

A think another main bitch of this game being NSMB is that its already been confirmed that the Wii U game is based on New Super Mario Bros Mii. I really hope "based" means only minor elements, one of these games its alright but two?

I find it odd that its coming out in August, you don't usually get high profile titles out in that month. I guess they want the Wii U to take all the limelight for late 2012.

I'm not a great fan of the Mario platformers, but i am amazed at the amount of negative comments for this.

what do you expect, this is nothing new and is more of just a super mario bros 3 remake/remix i will pass on this, it's using the same gameplay as the DS version and even looks the same as the DS version.

 

[Eerpow]

I really hope Guild stops bitching about Rayman Origins, the physics and music were horrible in that game.

I expected if you liked the previous games then you would be more than happy to receive this, it isn't gonna be the same game as you've played, just keeping to it's core design.

fuck yeah, I had the best video game time of my life playing NSMB multiplayer... shame it was only local!
I am hoping they'll include some sort of online multiplayer in this... fingers crossed !! it's definitely my most wanted feature.
