Topic: New Super Mario Bros 2 & Kirby announcement

I'm more excited for the Kirby game then New Super Mario Bros. 2

Judging it based on NSMBWii doesn't make sense either, IMHO - that one was designed with a huge focus on multiplayer. The intent wasn't to stuff it with new baddies and moves. FWIW, I beat it the first time through with my bro, and it was hilariously ridiculous and enjoyable. Definitely something I had never experienced in a Mario platformer before.

If you really want to speculate and look at past examples, look at the difference between SMG and SMG2. I thought SMG was good, but I had a helluva lot more fun with its sequel. Since the core game was already done, they had a LOT more time to get creative with the gameplay for SMG2. I would imagine they'd do the same thing here. If they don't, then I'll be disappointed, but I can't know that until I see more.

it would be more worth while if they thrown in a level maker....wouldnt it?

This is Nintendo we're talking about here.

You never know — the MvDK DS games have them. Wouldn't count on it though, haha.

well i guess for that because its only a small puzzle level and not a big platformer level,but if did have a level maker i know i would buy it,also have online to share levels

Iirc littlebigplanet was first optioned to nintendo but they passed on it.

Mario will probably never get level creation.

Unfortunately I never got to go through it with another person. Going through it solo was fun but it felt like the original and was exactly what I played on the DS. The focus on multiplayer was apparent but that didn't distract me from 100%'ing it in under 20 hours with its obvious layouts. It was too easy just like its predecessor to find every star coin and really didn't do anything dramatic aside from the multiplayer take on.

I hope you're right though. I hope Nintendo truly makes room for a great experience outside the norm like they tried with NSMBW. But we'll just have to wait and see.

Playing the game with another person or two makes it 100000x times better.

Wonder what this bodes for super Mario brothers mii?

guys, calm yourselves. let's wait until we get a trailer or get the screenshot amount in double digits before we go: aww this is terrible it looks the same why don't they make a new game its gonna be exactly like the others, etc. I'm personally excited for this game, a I was addicted to NSMB onn the DS and I thought the Wii one was fun, even if I was terrible. Remember when we were all complaining about how the Tanooki Leaf was dumbed down in 3D land and then the statue leaf shows up in the secret worlds? There could be some huge surprises that won't even be revealed until reviews come in! So, relax.
I will be buying the Kirby compilation, as I have not played much of the old Kirby games besides the original Dreamland on 3DS VC. So, that would be cool.
Also, just throwing this out there, but what if Nintendo made some characters, levels and power ups that are being requested a lot DLC, since they have the ability to do that now? I mean, if you see something you like missing, maybe Nintendo will release it as DLC! You never know, they publiclly said they wouldn't fix Maka wuhu glitch, and look now, a patch is going to be released!
out of breath
Thank you for reading this rant, and have a good day.

But then nintendo vamers would whine abouts how the evils of the westren world and its fabled dlc is corrupting its hallowed nintendo.

Haven't read the whole thread but I don't see any major complaining.

Just bland art style is bland. And seems a tad bit uninspired.

After playing rayman origins and donkey Kong country returns I cant get excited about this.

I love this art style on handhelds, but yeah, it's horrid on an HDTV.

Struggling to get excited about this, but anything I'd say would just be a repeat of something someone else already said over the last ten pages, and I can't be bothered reading through them all. So! Let's discuss new things. ...OK, let's discuss the new thing (singular, although we only have 4 screenshot to go on). Gold Mario and Gold enemies.

I'm gonna guess that gold-power grants invulnerability, but not the ability to kill things on touch (as Starman would). So Gold Mario would be able to run across Piranha Plants (without killing them), spike traps and etc, and kicked shells and spike balls would bounce harmlessly off him. Conversely, Gold Pirahna Plants would never succumb to fireballing (perhaps Starman would still kill them?), whilst Gold Goombas and Gold Koopas would mock the red one's unsuccessful stomping attempts (Mario will probably still be able to bounce off them though, like stepping stones).

Ok, the game can have types of metals for powerups or...something. That already sounds like a good idea. It won't happen but whatever.

My initial thought was of the gold Waddle Dees in recent Kirby games. I guess that would mean the gold powerup would be specifically for getting the Not Dragon Coins from certain fast enemies.

Does anyone else hope the gold means Wario might be in the game? I think I've said this before, but that would be an interesting twist.

Super Mario Land 2 had Wario.

The possibility of Wario is...considerable. I wouldn't go as far as to say likely, but there's a chance.

Nintendo : "This all-new, side-scrolling adventure features Mario, Luigi and all your fave characters from the Mario series." Could that mean somebody like Wario could be in the game? I would like to see him play a role in the story, similar to Super Mario Land 2 : 6 Golden Coins. I know Mario games have never had the most complex story, but it has to be something more interesting than the "Bowser kidnaps Princess Peach" scenario. Change it up a little Nintendo!

Also, I have to admit. While I was very negative towards this game when it was first announced, I can say I'm feeling a little better about it now that I'm wondering what they'll do with it.

Screw wario its

Anyways, interesting note. Since calling this game NSMB 2, Nintendo is acknowledging the fact that NSMBWii wasn't a real sequel.
So, by that logic, we can be more hopeful of new content.
