I'm not sure why NSMB Mii pretty clearly has the exact same graphics as the Wii game. Is it because they want to release a major Mario title within a year of launch and focus on new gameplay elements and maybe certain new features (aka see: LBP) instead of forcing Wii U to be considered just "Nintendo...but HD graphics ZOMG", when it is clearly not just that? Or is it just a lazy port made to turn Mario even more into a cash-cow with less effort and to make lots of money on sheep buying the exact same game like it's Megaman, except far more profitable?

These are interesting questions. The answer is "yes".

They better have some...erm...."secret weapon" of some sort for this new Mario Bros. game...because the "New" series is getting old now....loved the Wii version. But yeah...at least change the theme up or something. :/

Where is my Mario level editor?

@Eureka
My thoughts exactly....... but I'm probably going to get it anyways. It's not a system seller for me but if I have the system I'm sold on the idea.

Did Iwata say they were going to be talking entirely about Wii U games at the conference? I hope they can squeeze some 3DS games in too.

@NintyFan
It's going to be the focus but he did assure us that 3DS won't be ignored and that there's plenty of news in store for it.

Couldn't be happier. Black console, awesome connectivity, pro controller and analog sticks Bring on E3.

I almost forgot, "that was unique" is what we should be thinking...which would be accurate...if the one game they showed us wasn't New Super Mario Bros. Mii.

No, I'm not getting over this. Why are they taking my favorite gaming series of all time and putting such little effort into it? I should not ever be annoyed a new Mario game is coming out. Please, let me be proven wrong. I'm begging you to give me proof I am wrong.

I will say though, the Miis or whatever on the map in the game is pretty awesome, but that's clearly more a general Wii U thing.

He used a phrase like "don't worry, there will be plenty of 3DS news at available opportunities" which did suggest to me that there wouldn't be much 3DS stuff focussed on at E3.

Wonder how well those message boxes really work. They make sense in an overworld like a Mario games. But imagine playing skyrim and text boxes are everywhere.

See: Demon Souls

I'm not too upset over the Mario Wii U game. It's a smart business move by Nintendo to get the system selling, and it will be a good game.

Good thing I haven't played new super Mario bros. Wii

Were the two guys in the zombie promo supposed to be a play on the two kids from the original zelda commerical.

That wasn't their E3 press conference......

Yes, but I was given an obvious joke and I took it.

I agree 100%! That Black Console better be available on launch! xD

Did anyone notice that after Nintendo Week got cancelled, Gary must've gotten a new job? I mean, the guy from the tech demo was clearly him. Nice to see Nintendo didn't lay him off. I was hoping he'd do Nintendo Update which replaced it, and when I learned it didn't have a host, I thought for sure he was laid off. He did an okay job, though like Nintendo Week, the humor could use some work.

Miiverse looks very interesting!

Is it coming to 3DS also?
