My thoughts are that this game is going to be awesome! What about your thoughts?

Online would be nice, but I'll live without it. I'd rather play local more often than not. My hopes aren't much:

  • A bigger character roster than shown
  • Levels that aren't ridiculously easy
  • Somewhat deep competitive elements to make replaying it a lot of fun
  • Not significantly less fun with only 1 or 2 players

Mario has needed something like this for a long time. Glad to see 2D Mario back on the home console after so long.

We need online for this so that me, Adam, CowLaunch and EugeneWrayburn can duke it out for the title of Hottest Man on the Boards.

Your first hope may come true, but I have SERIOUS doubts about your other three.

It's a 2D Mario platformer. Therefore you know it's going to be good.

I do, too.
I think it'll be fun regardless, but I worry Nintendo may waste a lot of its potential making it accessible. Still, it was only the first level (presumably), so I am not going to be too pessimistic already.

Love 2d mario, In fact one of my wishes was a 2D succesor to mario World, this looks to be in a similar mould so I'm happy so far.

This ought to be a wiiware release right? So that all the noobs out there start using internet? It seems like a resonable plan from Nintendos side of things i guess...

@zane
I really think this is going to be a disc title... With ALOT of content. Just because it's 2D means it'll be less than 40MB for WiiWare. Nintendo really should release a disc title with DLC packs for profit. It's difficult, but entirely possible. Especially with a title like NSMBW. That would be the way to push the casual family consumer online...

Nintendo said for Wii. They would have specified WiiWare. WiiWare would be a huge mistake. A name as big as Mario's needs to have a store shelf presence to sell the amount of copies Nintendo wants this holiday season.

I don't know, I haven't bought the DS one, and I really haven't bothered continuing SMW on World 3.

Honestly, the game does need online play otherwise what is the point if you have no one to play this with locally (like me).

also, Reggie said before in an interview that they would not bring a mainstream Mario title to Wiiware because they wanted more 'original' and/or 'innovative' titles on the download service, or some other nice way of saying 'no but hell no' to a Wiiware Mario platformer.

edit: found it.

@Atlantis1982
Right now, I'm kinda looking at it as the selling point. It needs online, in some capacity. 4-player co-op demands it! I was bummed Bubble Bobble Plus! doesn't have this option, it's very rare you have 4 people who all want to play a nostalgic remake like that in the same place... Save college.

It sure looks like a wiiware release. meh... So i guess i will be paying 70$ for this???

@tbd "reggie said this that and other bla bla" Yeah he is a sweettalker, but can he rhyme.... He's like a politician in a sense...

With wiiware they could release mega dlc like strong bad and still get their hard earned cash and it's very environmental!

@Zane: true, but you'll also note there was no mention of a Virtual Console DSi at their conference this morning.

it would definitely be cool, though, if you could download packs of new levels via wiiware, or if it included a level editor for user generated content. NSMBWii Kaizo, anyone? that would be awesome/hilarious.

This will be ace. Reports from the showfloor claim that the stages are inspired and challenging. Great to have another title to look forward to (except TvsC)! I´ve always wanted a co-op option in Super Mario Bros.
