NEW Super Mario Bros. 2

[link0891]

Maybe the rumored Super Mario Bros. 4 will realize my dream (still confused on that title though...pretty sure that was Super Mario World)...

The tentative name of the mystery game is Super Mario 4, not Super Mario Bros. 4.

ahh.. well that clears things right up, and wouldnt be confusing at all (3DS, Wii U, etc). sounds like nintendo needs a new product naming dept.

Haha agreed!

NSMB games tend to seem very short to me, probably because I'm too lazy to complete (not just beat) them. I'd like if it were an eShop title. It seems like that can get these made pretty quickly, so maybe it's small enough? I'm not keen on paying 45$ for it.

UNLESS it has online play. Seriously online co-op would be AMAZING. I'm still waiting for even one good platformer that I can play with my Internet friends. Even if we had to take turns and watch the other player like in the NES titles, that'd be awesome. Some kind of online versus mode would be cool for SMB, too.

I agree that it would also be nice if they'd change up the graphics a bit, 'cause these games all look the same. Or just add anything new. Might as well just port NSMB and make it 3D if they're not going to add many cool new features.

I got word of this a few days ago when it was leaked:

"New super mario bros 2 will be offered for packaged or full download to SD card"

[Koopzilla]

"New super mario bros 2 will be offered for packaged or full download to SD card"

I'm not about to buy a game I can get an actual copy of for digital download because I like to actually own a physical copy of the game I'm buying. It would be nice though if they gave you the option to save your physical copy to the system so you can play it and not have to carry around the game card. That's probably not going to happen though to prevent people from buying the game and giving the download to someone else.

Personally, I think it would be a lot better to have all your games on one SD card. That way you don't have to worry about carrying around games, switching between games, etc. However, it would be cool if we could download our physical copy onto our device like you mentioned. Then you get the best of both worlds.

there is an easy fix for this. one, the digital version of every game you buy a physical copy of is on your account (need accounts for this to happen, come on nintendo, leave the dark ages).

two, if you acquired the digital version via this method, you have to have the game in the system to install it. Getting the best of both worlds would seriously add value to the whole thing from the customer's end. and it incintivises new copies and keeping your games instead of trading them in. everyone wins. this would put them ahead of the curve on digital distro in the console/handheld space.

We currently have to rebuy previous Wii Shop Channel VC games on the 3DS eShop. <.<;;

As much awesome as it would be for Nintendo to do something like buy retail and get the ability to download the corresponding digital version for free, I don't see Nintendo doing it unfortunately since they're getting away with double-dipping now. >.>;;

[KingBroly]

My take on that: It'll happen, but it won't be free or full price.

Back on topic please.

I heard a rumor that this is going to be an eShop title. That's not true, is it?

yes. it will be both a retail release and an eshop download.

[WarioT]

I really like the idea that we get an option to download it same goes for Wii U

It's another step further to awesomeness

On New Super Mario Bros 2

Chances of secret characters?

Well, the last one on the DS had a way to play as Luigi, so I'm assuming there will be at least that. If Nintendo is smart they will add more.

[J0RdAnN]

Luigi is practically a given. What'll be interesting is if they take a page out of NSMB Mii's book and let you play as Yellow/Blue Toad and your Mii. Which as of right now is the only selling point for NSMBM and that's not exciting at all.

Mario Wiki has upload an image with the koopalings all in Bowser´s Koopa Car http://blog-imgs-50.fc2.com/h/i/m/himastime/qG7kB.jpeg , this confirm all koopaligs as bosses in game, the image comes from a japanese magazine (likely famitsu) but there is the only shot...where we can find all the famitsu´s NMSB2 scans?


sorry for bad english

P.S: Wait....where is Bowser Jr. ?

[WarioT]

P.S: Wait....where is Bowser Jr. ?

Well since he's part of Bowser's kids I'm pretty confident he'd be their

ohh how I would love Wario to appear in this game

Cool that's really nostalgic

*Looks at your username* YUP! I kinda want to play as Wario, Bowser Jr., and... wait for it... WALUIGI! (just kidding, I hate Waluigi... sorry).

Anyways, how do you guys like the "1 million coins" idea? I've heard some people really like the idea of risk and reward (example: jumping AT an enemy/pit to get coins instead of avoiding them) and I've heard people feel completely indifferent. I personally don't know which way I fall on the scale. My dad will probably hate this game though. He's the kind of guy that wants EVERY SINGLE COIN IN EVERY SINGLE LEVEL. lol

[Mirr0rR3flection]

Luigi, Toad (Blue, Yellow, whatever), Wario , Peach (*Doubt it. >_>), Metal Mario (*wouldn't surprise me*) are who I'm guessing.

[nintenfan1456]

in the japanese celebrity NSMB2 video, they sound like donkey kong, like huge gorillas!!!

[MoldyClay]

If Luigi is playable in Single Player in NSMB2, you can count me in almost Day 1.

That was my biggest gripe with NSMBW and will probably be a gripe with NSMBU. I know it's irrelevant, but I prefer playing Luigi and made a point to plow through Galaxy just so I could play Luigi and do it all again and enjoy it as him.

I am, however, far more pumped for NSMB2 than I am for NSMBU. Go figure.

[nintenfan1456]

It would be SOOOOOOO cool if you could play as Toad and Peach, like in Super Mario Bros. 2. Also, I wonder what the prize is for getting a million coins... Can't wait to find out!

Ah man. I wish NSMBU let you play Toad (real Toad) and Peach instead of Yellow/Blue Toad.

Simply not enough SMB2/USA love going around. If there was ever a time Miyamoto needed to go in and say "Yo, my favorite game as a gamer was SMB2. Make it more like that. Wii U can animate dresses.", it would be now. But it isn't. UNLESS IT IS/unlockables/NOPE.

In a logical world, NSMB2 would have Mario/Luigi auto playable in Single Player and you would unlock Wario at the end.

Wario NOT being in this game is dumb beyond words. Game about getting 1 million gold coins? Everything turns to Gold?

Seriously, Bowser better be the fake boss and then we find the boss to be Wario and it's like Mario Land 2, but then you unlock Wario to play.

Otherwise this is a huge missed opportunity for "New Super Mario Bros. 2: New Super Wario"

This(which is a lot better) or Wario as a DLC character will make me tremendously happy

To be honest, I'm not expecting anything good once hitting that milestone in NSMB2. Recent Marios usually tend to end after 100% completion with a 'Hey you did everything possible! Congrats!' and nothing good happens after it

Spoiler:

(NSMB 1's Luigi unlock code is an exception).

You could

play Luigi from the start in NSMB1

...

As for Marios not giving you anything at 100%, I am pretty sure the milestone is just beating the game. Like Pikmin 2, which you meet long before 'beating' the game for real.

Not to mention Galaxy, Galaxy 2 and 3D Land all gave you things when you completed or beat them, but not when you 'double' completed them. NSMBW also gave you the

Special world

if you got all the hidden coins or whatever.

Something will be unlocked either by beating the boss or by getting the million or whatever coins. But probably not both.

THEN AGAIN~ Pokemon never rewarded you for completing the National Pokedex before, but Black 2/White 2 totally do.

[J0RdAnN]

I know I've posted this on some other SMB stories posted by RMC but I seriously just want a NSMB Stage Creator that allows me to share with my friends and the world. Is that too much to ask?
