This game looks awesome. This could very well be one of the best (Maybe even the best) DS game to date (Though Zelda could take that award when it comes out). I can't see Nintendo messing this game up. Super Mario Sunshine had it's problems, but even with them it still was awesome.

Anyone else excited for this?

[Xero]

Hell yeah. Old school action + New school graphics = :drool:

[Funky Fly]

SSSSSSSSSSSSSSEXY

When is this due out?

[TerranRich]

WTF!!! I'm fucking getting Nintendo DS for this!!

You can bounce off walls, grow super-huge, etc. Damn!

What, you were expecting it on the cube? or GBA? Or better yet, PSP?

This shit is great. I can't wait.

[Dorkchop]

Just watched the video and man that looks old school all the way.

I read an interview with someone who worked on the game and he said they wanted it to be a sequel the the very first Super Mario Bros. Hence the name.

[Nowhere Man]

Sweeeeeeet.

[Silent]

That looks great, maybe I will get a DS if they keep coming out with cool looking games like that.

[Shaggy]

only one thing can be said when Mario turns really big and starts running through all that shit...

OWNED!!!

[Xero]

I read an interview with someone who worked on the game and he said they wanted it to be a sequel the the very first Super Mario Bros. Hence the name.
Yeah, I see some resembelences. The underground, the pipes blowing bubbles in the water level, etc.

Although it would technically be the third direct sequal.

[Bad Company]

Thats fucking awesome.

[road doggy dogg]

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[mrslackalack]

[Dorkchop]

There's a new video up. I like how it's short... doesn't reveal the whole game.

[road doggy dogg]

OH YEAH.

[Dorkchop]

I read there are going to be something like 80 levels.

I just can't wait to get huge and fuck up the damn Goombas!

[TerranRich]

I read there are going to be something like 80 levels.

I just can't wait to get huge and fuck up the damn Goombas!
I read 8 worlds, don't know anything about levels, thought there could very well be 80.

And that, my friends, would rock my socks.

I... Need... This... Game... NOW!

[Just John]

Here's a question for Y'all: This is gonna be a great game, but do you think it'll ruin the Super Mario Bros legacy?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Here's a question for Y'all: This is gonna be a great game, but do you think it'll ruin the Super Mario Bros legacy?

I don't understand.

Anyways, it's great. Really, really short but great. I think it's missing something though and for the life of me I can't work out what makes it not as good as a lot of the others. Maybe it;s the shit music, but I wouldn't have thought that would be the only reason.

[V]

pre-ordered it today :)

[DaveWadding]

Circuit City is gonna have it for $27.99. :) Available 5/16 at 5 PM ;)

[#BROKEN Hasney]

7 fucking hours, ever level and secret unlocked.

I'm a little pissed off to be honest.

[DS]

That's pretty short. I know the original games can be beaten quickly but I remember playing them for hours when I was little. That's kind of depressing. :(

[V]

Hollywood Hasney, you have the game?

if so, how did you get it early?

[#BROKEN Hasney]

Hollywood Hasney, you have the game?

if so, how did you get it early?

Yeah, the ROM was leaked on the net. I was gonna buy it as well, but not anymore :|

[TerranRich]

7 fucking hours, ever level and secret unlocked.

I'm a little pissed off to be honest.
What?? According to IGN:

It won't take long - four or five hours is all that's needed to finish the game at its bare minimum.

And then:

But who plays Mario at its bare minimum? Plowing through will literally skip more than half of the levels in New Super Mario Bros. In fact, two of the eight worlds can't be accessed by traditional means, so if you beat the game on a quick run-through you'll literally be skipping two worlds to do it.

I'm not disappointed at all. I think it's awesome. Much like you could beat about 12 levels minimum in SMW to get to Bowser, and only 2/3 of SMW would be beaten if you didn't get any of the secret level endings and Star Roads and Special World.

[Dorkchop]

I'm still picking this up on Tuesday.

[Dorkchop]

But they should have put a whole lotta levels in this game.

[mrslackalack]

I died once, on world 7. Got every star coin first try and bought all the "wallpapers" for the touch screen.

[TerranRich]

I've discovered that there are certain types of gamers that aren't challenged by anything anymore. It must suck...every game's a challenge for me,mostly because I'm inept at 99% of video games but still enjoy them. Like a retard in a spelling bee. ;)

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Only downside to this is that it's on the DS instead of the Cube. :(

Nothing against DS, but I dunno. I remember how awesome Sunshine was. Why waste a game THIS good on a handheld?


Still though, it has me considering getting one.

[V]

DS may be a handheld, but in my honest opinion it is the best gaming system out right now

[Kane Knight]

It's not really a waste.

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Meh, I don't mean waste as in I'm saying DS is a terrible console. Quite the opposite.

I guess I'm just used to the thought of if that I'm going to play a game, I'd rather be seated in front of a home console to play it and whatnot.

From what I'm hearing though, this game looks like it's worth plunking down the cash for a DS.

[Kane Knight]

I still disagree that it's a waste. In fact, I wish they'd put more effort into more handheld games. Especially with rising prices.

[V]

i am horny for this game

[DaveWadding]

i am horny for this game

I bet your ex will have fun playing it on the pink Ds you bought her.

[V]

nah, she's probably too busy with Nintendogs

[UmbrellaCorporation]

Hey, for all intents and purposes, Nintendogs kicks ass. :D

[V]

it's only good for a few weeks tho

[Kane Knight]

I never bothered with Nintendogs.

Anyway, I'll probably get this. Unless it's super easier than SMW/SM3, I'll probably find some good gameplay time. Oldschool games are my kryptonite. I can beat the newer style of games no problem (They're always so dumbed down), but the classics seem to nail me. So unless it's on par with, say, Minish Cap (Easiest, shortest Zelda EVAR), I'll probably get my money's worth.

I'm hoping it's a lot more difficult than Super Princess Peach. That game was ridiculously easy. I love Toad, so saving the many Toads was awesome.

[Kane Knight]

I didn't bother with SPP. Looked gay.

[Dorkchop]

It was a fun classic side scrolling platformer. The boss battles were pretty neat. But waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too easy.

I found it funny how Peach's special powers in the game were her emotions. Haha, they called them vibes. Oh, sexism.

[Xero]

She's an emo.

Was there a PMS one?

[V]

Sonic Rush is a pretty good sidescroller, far too short though :(

anyway, game's out tomorrow :love:

[Kane Knight]

My ex is saying she got it early. I think she might be confused. Sadly, I won't be able to check until after my car's fixed.

[Dorkchop]

Was there a PMS one?

The whole game is her all PMSey. She'll get sad, then immediately angry, then happy a little later. But unlike real girls, Peach controls her emotions... er vibes.

[Dorkchop]

I have Tuesday off, so one more day of work in my way until I get this game.

[Kane Knight]

ZING!

IS there a lot of chocolate in the game?

my ex refuses to play mario kart with me even though i'm the one who bought her, her damn ds :mad:

[Funky Fly]

So she's a huge bitch and you're a bleeding pussy. What else is new?

[V]

lol, you realize that this is just a gimmick now right? I don't even know if she has mario kart

um i mean... my ex wouldn't be too happy with you calling me a bleeding pussy.... she'd be ecstatic :(

[Kane Knight]

my ex refuses to play mario kart with me even though i'm the one who bought her, her damn ds :mad:

Holy...Tangent...

*backs away from you slowly*

[Xero]

I'm gonna see if I can obtain a copy today. If not then I'll be getting it tommorow.

Gonna try Best Buy first. They had Mario 3 for GBA out like a week before release. It was obviously a fuck up but I still got it then and there.

[TerranRich]

SWEET. Just bought a Nintendo DS with 8 games for like $150 on eBay (gotta love it), gonna buy NSMB as soon as the DS arrives (in case it's shit and I can get money back).

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7031316034 :D

[V]

not a bad deal, but you do know that 5 of the games are GBA ones right?

none of the stores near me had mario today, gotta get it tomorrow :(

[Xero]

Same here. :(

[Xero]

Just got the game, gonna play now. :cool:

They had like 60 in stock.

[Xero]

Triple post, but here's my take on it, from the first level to level 2-4 or so.

The controls are old-school all the way. I got right into it and it felt a lot like the NES games. I even caught myself jumping back for a mushroom over a brick without thinking about it. It feels new but in an old sort of way.

There are way too many 1-ups in the game, much like their last few Mario games, but that's no real bad thing. It just means you'll never see a game over screen.

It feels to me like a cross between all the games from Mario 1 to Mario World.

Invincibility is AWESOME, but I've only encountered it twice. Once from one of the first worlds and again from a mushroom house, which I used to beat the Koopa Kid in one butt pound.

The one bad thing I came across was saving. You can only save when you beat a castle (there are two in each world like Mario 3) or when you open up a closed path. You can't save at any other time, and that's a fairly big downfall.

Besides that, though, I love the game. It makes Mario feel new all over again.

[Kane Knight]

Yeah, lack of saving kinda blows on a portable title./

[TerranRich]

When they ported SMW to the GBA, it allowed you save at will, unlike the SNES version. Too bad they didn't do that this time around. But it sounds great. :D I'm gonna pick it up today hopefully.

[TerranRich]

not a bad deal, but you do know that 5 of the games are GBA ones right?

none of the stores near me had mario today, gotta get it tomorrow :(
That's okay because I own a GBA too. :D :D :D

[Xero]

DS plays GBA games. :p

[TerranRich]

Hm...time to sell my GBA, LOL

[Xero]

If you have Gameboy/GBC games that you want to keep and don't have a GB/GBC, don't because the DS doesn't play those.

[Funky Fly]

Games always come out on Tuesday.

[Dorkchop]

Games always come out on Tuesday.

So do I.

[Dorkchop]

I picked it up this afternoon. I played until I beat the second world. Super fun happy point form:

* First thing I did when I started the game was go to jump on the Goomba... Only I jumped too early so the Goomba ran into me and I died. That's right, the very first thing I did in the game was die... Immediately.

* I'm not used to playing a Mario platformer on my DS, but this game is easy to get into... I'm just working on getting the feel of it.

* I'm used to the side scrolling Mario games being more open. This game has more walls and blocks. It's not really a bad thing though.

* The huge mushroom is awesome. Enough said.

* graphics are good.

* Wall jumps are a sweet way to save from falling down a pit.

* There are a lot of ways to get 1ups.

* The castles feel like a perfect mix between Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World.

* Running through everything with the super huge mushroom is awesome.

* There are really fun mini games.

* The music is only ok. It could be a lot better, but it's not bad. Fine for a Mario game.

* So far my only real complaint is that you can't play one player as Luigi. Oh, and Toad should be in this game A LOT. More Toad for me, please.

* It would be neat if once you beat the game you could play the game as Luigi, Toad, Princess, and even a goomba or koopa troopa. It'd be awesome throwing fireballs as a goomba.

[V]

yeah everything in this game besides the music is awesome, and the music isn't terrible

[94 SVT Cobra]

I just saw a commercial saying June 11th? WTF?

[Kane Knight]

If you have Gameboy/GBC games that you want to keep and don't have a GB/GBC, don't because the DS doesn't play those.

And it doesn't play multiplayer on ANY game except DS games. No wirless, no wired hook-ups, nothing.

[Dorkchop]

yeah everything in this game besides the music is awesome, and the music isn't terrible

Some people were saying the music sucked in the preview videos Nintendo posted. It's not bad, but playing NSMB after playing Yoshi's Island, you really notice the music isn't as good at it should have been.

No game can be perfect.

[TerranRich]

Okay, so DS plays GBA games but not GB/GBC, right? If so, then I'm all set. I only have GBA and DS games coming to me.

[Xero]

I just saw a commercial saying June 11th? WTF?
That was for the new version of the DS.

Two commercials in one.

[V]

No game can be perfect.
Ocarina of Time
Chrono Trigger
Pokemon Red/Blue
Donkey Kong Country 2 is my personal favourite 2D sidescroller of all time...

imo those games are perfect, and there are others, this is just off the top of my head

[V]

Okay, so DS plays GBA games but not GB/GBC, right? If so, then I'm all set. I only have GBA and DS games coming to me.
Yeah, and you can't play multiplayer GBA games on the DS. Just keep your GBA dude, how much can you get for it anyway?

[TerranRich]

$30 probably. And since I have no friends, I wouldn't need multiplayer :'(

[Dorkchop]

Oh, you can play as Luigi. All you do is hold L + R and press A when you chose your file.

[Kane Knight]

Okay, so DS plays GBA games but not GB/GBC, right? If so, then I'm all set. I only have GBA and DS games coming to me.

Right. But no multiplayer on GBA games.

I don't know if this is a problem for you. It really isn't for me. Nobody I know owns a GBA.

[TerranRich]

Right. But no multiplayer on GBA games.

I don't know if this is a problem for you. It really isn't for me. Nobody I know owns a GBA.
Yeah...you're slow, KK. Read my response above saying that I have no friends, therefore multiplayer doesn't matter to me. :p

[Kane Knight]

Yeah...you're slow, KK. Read my response above saying that I have no friends, therefore multiplayer doesn't matter to me. :p

I answered the question in the post completely.

I didn't read later posts. Boo hoo. What's with the need to find any reason to dig at me of late? Seriously, you're so anal about finding any possible error or wrongdoing or possible slight and jump over it. It gets boring, and you seriously can't be this retarded as to need to pull this.

[Kane Knight]

Naw. Never mind answering that last question. I'm just gonna put you on ignore now.

EDIT: Though I do like the irony that, in this very thread, I had already offered up an answer to your question...I mean, busting my balls over this when someone had already stated it...Almost a week ago...TWO WHOLE POSTS above you asking the question, someone had already answered you.

[Kane Knight]

LOL at Destor constantly trying to dig at me.

[Destor]

Just callin' 'em like I see 'em. But you can make like I'm out to get you (:roll: ) if it makes you feel more important.

[Kane Knight]

LOL. Yeah. Because your several recent attacks on me were "calling 'em like you see 'em."

This sudden bout of honesty, which only seems to target me...:lol:

I'm not calling you on a conspiracy...Just on the actual comments you've made. You've tried so hard to take shots over the last couple of days, I thought recognition was what your little ego would want. :'(

[Destor]

It only seems like a burst of 'honesty' KK. I haven't been on in months. And no, I don't have to try that hard to point out you making an ass/hypocrite out of yourself.

[Kane Knight]

It's okay, cupcake. You tell yourself all that. You're absolutely right.

Lie through your teeth all you want, you can have your little victory. :)

Aaahhhh, STFU. All of my digs at you are in jest and are half-hearted. :)

And wtf is up with your need as of late to call me or something I say retarded? ;)

[Destor]

It's okay, cupcake. You tell yourself all that. You're absolutely right.

Lie through your teeth all you want, you can have your little victory. :)That form of psychology only works on ten year olds (which is convenient for you considering the average I.Q. on this site.) Try harder.

[Kane Knight]

It's not really psychology, it's sarcasm.

You know, saying the opposite of what one means in a berating fashion?

But that's okay, princess. The Psychology card was brtl

[TerranRich]

wtf is brtl? srsly

[Dorkchop]

Talk about the game.

[TerranRich]

So yeah, I got a $25 Amazon.com gift certificate and am going to use it toward the purchase of NSMB. :heart:

[Chavo Classic]

But who plays Mario at its bare minimum? Plowing through will literally skip more than half of the levels in New Super Mario Bros. In fact, two of the eight worlds can't be accessed by traditional means, so if you beat the game on a quick run-through you'll literally be skipping two worlds to do it.

I'm not disappointed at all. I think it's awesome. Much like you could beat about 12 levels minimum in SMW to get to Bowser, and only 2/3 of SMW would be beaten if you didn't get any of the secret level endings and Star Roads and Special World.

Speaking of which... how does one access these two worlds?

[Just John]

I am so sorley tempted to get this game, but whenever I look for info about it, I always hear stuff like 'too short' 'too easy' 'Completed it in about an hour' If it is too short or easy or whatever, then I am not getting it.

How is it for length?

Its good to be honest. You could technically complete it in a short period although there remains the challenge of getting all the coins and accessing the two hidden worlds which, after a week, I still can't figure out how to.

Probably on the better games on the DS, not for the length, but for the novelty.

[Just John]

Worth getting now? Or waiting for a lower price?

[Chavo Classic]

Ummmm... depends. I bought it now because I have the spare cash. But if you're hard-up at the moment, then wait. It'll still be a good game in a few months

[Just John]

I've got the money, but not enough to throw around at anything, I wanna make sure its worthwhile before I do. I'll check Amazon.

[Just John]

*ALERT*

I just checked up something, and apparently if you Press L+R as you select a file you play as Luigi,

That was aimed at whoever said you couldnt or something.

[Chavo Classic]

It's already been said. Now if someone would just tell me HOW TO ACCESS THE TWO HIDDEN WORKDS!!!! :mad:

Nintendo isn't lowering the prices of games.

I don't know. I beat it playing it a couple of times on the weekends. It's easy to get the game beat, and not much harder for 100% completeion.

I was thinking if I should wait for amazong to lower the price or something

[Just John]

lol amazong

[Just John]

Fuck!

Just checked out the official site, it just put a huge grin on my face, I gotta pick this up STAT

[Just John]

It looks like it would be 10000000000000x better if it had Wifi though

[Just John]

Amazon is gonna take weeks till they dispatch it, fuck that, I'm going out tomorrow to get it

[Kane Knight]

I was thinking if I should wait for amazong to lower the price or something

Amazong isn't going to lower the prices any time soon, because the game is still moving and the MSRP is still going to be high. So Amazong, Best Buyd, and Circuit Cityr will liekely keep the price high indefinitely.

At this point, I'm tempted to get a G6 or M3 and just download some of these games. I'm not fond of Piracy, but these games are too short to justify the artificially high prices.

[Just John]

Got it today, it is fucking amazing I'm on world 2 atm
