Topic: New Super Mario Bros 2

@Waveboy By 2 did he mean "2" or SMB USA? lol

This game does just not interest me enough over NSMBU. At least it has something beyond get a million coins.

He definitely meant Super Mario Bros. USA. I think I remember reading he was more involved with the development of Doki Doki Panic/Mario USA than he was with Mario 2/Lost Levels

Lol look at the coment.

He has good taste.

I'm changing my mind of this game,it's looking better each day.

Yeah! That's exactly what I thought! I didn't really like the look of it at the Nintendo Direct, but now, its my desktop wallpaper (The new image that was on nintendolife today )
I have a few gifs of the game (nothing new, but they're cool) if you want to see them (or use them as your nintendolife pic )

I do agree that they need to change up several things. Wario would have been a much better villain, especially considering the gold theme they went with for this game. I will say though, to my knowledge they aren't bringing the Tanooki suit back again. They are bringing back the Raccoon suit. They are similar, very similar, but not the necessarily the same. Ironically, both of the suits, despite being so similar both in look and function, originated in Super Mario Bros. 3.

@Ecto-1, yeah I know they're different. I just think since the Tanooki suit could do the same thing as the Raccoon suit and more in SMB. 3, it just seems more of the same now. The only thing I like that they're bringing back about it is being able to fly in a sidescroller Mario game. Which yes, the Raccoon suit accomplished, but we just brought back a SMB. 3 powerup. I'd love for Nintendo to draw inspiration from something like Super Mario Bros. 2, (having to do with the "2" in the title) or Super Mario Land 2 : 6 Golden Coins (for its potential Wario storyline, and it being about coins in a way)

Sometimes I just feel with these New Super Mario Bros. games, that there's so many missed opportunities. Why can't Nintendo try something new with this series for once? Pun intended

Well yes from a business pount of view it was a good decision, as they still got my money - but it reduces my faith in Nintendo's future products, and wont help their sales from me in the long run.

@WaveBoy, there's new footage? Or is it just the ones we've all seen. Some of us are just guessing its filler audio for the demo, but you never know.

I reaaaally hope the music is just placeholder. It better be.

I'm right there with you. I don't know why, its just the music has always been important to me in a new game.

Nintendo doesn't know how to make game anymore.

If this is too easy, this will go on my list of "Games ruined by difficulty" along with Kirby's epic yarn and Pokepark wii. I just wish we know more about the goal already.

@TheDreamingHawk The goal is to obtain one million coins, that is as far as my information goes.

This game looks amazing and all, but I really want to see where there going with this game, it has a bazillion coins, the goal is to get one million coins. Are we also saving Peach? Or has Bowser hired Mario because Mr. Koopa is in a debt crisis having to pay for all those goombas? Or is Mario now Wario's lacky hunting coins down for him? Or maybe Wario is in a Mario suit to save Peach to get the one and only nose kiss, while Mario has been imprisoned in Wario's castle? Or has Mario turned gold hunter and doesn't want Peach anymore?

C'mon Nintendo, tell us more.

@Demonic, we already know Princess Peach has been kidnapped by Bowser, yet again. There's also no sign of Wario in what's been shown so far. Whether the one million coins goal has to do with the story, like lets say Bowser demanding one million to give back Princess Peach, hasn't been revealed yet. Hopefully there's at least some story behind it. Otherwise Mario will just look greedy

My guess is that the story is exactly the same as it usually is, and Mario is just gathering one million coins along the way for no apparent reason.
Anything more than that would be a surprise to me.

Yikes. A story as boring as 3D land would be no good.

That would have been true if all the quality games they released this gen didn't exist.

Do you guys know what the actual plot of the original Super Mario Bros. is? I just assumed it was "Bowser kidnapped the Princess, Mario must rescue her." But according to the official instruction book and even Nintendo.com, it's some nonsense about Bowser using his magic powers to turn all the mushroom people into blocks, bricks, and plants, then kidnapping the Princess because she has magic powers too and is the only one who can undo the spell. That is bizarre. Compared to that story, every other Mario's plot looks about 10 times better.

I said thematically, not financially. It was a joke. The game's theme is to get as many coins. Mario wants to get as much money in as little time possible, Nintendo supposedly wants to get our money with as little work as possible...

Would someone tell all these damn crickets to shut up? Geez.
