[Buzzkill]

"Nice"

[Buzzkill]

I'm "pretty excited"

[Kapoutman]

Always been a Mario fan. Definitely getting this. It will probably take over my TV for a while when it's released.

Didn't want to say "take over my Wii" there. Didn't feel right.

[LuigiD]

I was excited for this until I found out it has no online play..

[Xero]

Holy hell, I am all over this.

[Blitz]

Almost want to buy a Wii just for this.

[Loose Cannon]

:love:

still need to finish Mario Galaxy and open Legend of Zelda. lol

[SuperSlim]

that just looks insane

[Kapoutman]

:love:

still need to finish Mario Galaxy and open Legend of Zelda. lol

Super Mario Galaxy 2 coming next year also.

[OssMan]

Twilight Princess is one of the best looking games ever. I beat it and I'm trying to do everything and I started playing it again. It is so good.

Dunno about New Super Mario Bros Wii. Kinda need to "legitimately" beat the original one. Something 2 do this summer. For some reason I am not really excited about this.

[Loose Cannon]

I've had Twilight Princess for a year and it's still not opened. I wanted to beat Galaxy first. I'll get to it eventually

[G]

Kinda getting back into my Wii here lately. Playing some Wii Sports and preordered Resort. :(

[GreySunshine]

So fucking excited.

<3

[Impact!]

Awesome...

[Drakul]

I'm not as excited about the game as I should be considering I'm a life long Nintendo fan and a big one at that. The game looks cool and I'll probably get it.
A rumour/spoiler about the game: The Koopalings, Bowsers kids, are supposedly returning in the game. If that's true then I'll be a little more excited about the game.

[Dorkchop]

Drakul, your spoiler is true.

You can play as Toad and ride Yoshi. This game can't turn out bad.

[OssMan]

Ludwig Von Koopa :(

[#BROKEN Hasney]

The Koopalings, Bowsers kids, are supposedly returning in the game. If that's true then I'll be a little more excited about the game.

T-Wii?

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

Looks mad hard

[Loose Cannon]

Galaxy was pretty easy

it is easy, but I am having so much trouble with this level where you have to race this dude. Honestly, holding the WII Remote for any game is pretty difficult for me and that level, you have to move it around just right. I feel like my dad when I was like 14 and he couldn't understand the N64 Controller.

[redoneja]

Looks sick. Definitely getting this.

[Juan]

Almost want to buy a Wii just for this.

[Krimzon7]

bingo

[Kane Knight]

Looks "amazing." Can't "wait."

Still need to beat SMG. It's not that it's hard, but for a while it was the only game I was playing, so when I disconnected my wii, I didn't hagve any reason to hook it back up.

Sweet Zombie Jesus!

Another Mario Game The 2d mario games are always good

[Gonzo]

I have SMG and its good, it just doesn't do it for me though. I like the side scrolling style of the originals, this seems more up my alley.

[LoDownM]

Looks like 3-4 players will get annoying after awhile imo.

[G]

No online mode, means a no buy for me.

[OssMan]

Can't tell if the screen pushes you automatically or if it moves with the players. Hate it so much when the screen pushes you, or doesn't let you go back in the level. Seems to be elements from many Mario games in this so that's cool.

[Loose Cannon]

where you race the ghost?

Yes and you have to go through each ring or whatever it is. I have not played in a couple months, but I think they were rings

[OssMan]

oh Beach Bowl Galaxy was it? Where you had the shell underwater. Yeah that's annoying. I don't know

[Loose Cannon]

no, I think I did that one. You are in the sky for the one I am doing

[Drakul]

New Super Mario Bros. Wii will be the first Nintendo game to use "kind code" - computer-assisted aid if you can't beat a section - for one very good reason: It's reportedly the most hardcore Mario game in years.

MTV Multiplayer's Russ Frushtick got some hands-on time with this fall's New Super Mario Bros. Wii at a press event in New York City, and the verdict? It's hard. Like, really hard - Contra hard, even.

You remember those ghost house levels from "Super Mario World" where you had to stay on the moving platform and it slowly chugged past ghosts and other obstacles? Ok, imagine that, but turn the platform into a slavering bone dragon and speed it up by about 3 times. Oh, and throw on three other homicidal friends who would rather jump on your head than let you make a perfectly timed jump. I went in expecting instant success, I left with zero lives and a lower sense of self worth.

This game's difficulty comes thanks to the inclusion of the "Super Guide" feature, which lets the computer (playing as Luigi) handle the trickier parts for gamers who can't make that one goddamn jump before resuming control - though apparently, the option won't unlock until you've tried and died a few times already.

Thanks to the "Super Guide," the developers no longer had to account for the lowest common denominator of player skill, but I'm not sure that that's actually true. If the game is truly this hard, aren't the less-skilled among us going to be playing the entire game on autopilot? I'd much rather something like Bayonetta's Automatic Mode, where the game handled the jumps and movement and left us to the combat.

Though, it is a Mario game. I guess the jumps are the combat.

Article here (http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/95316-New-Super-Mario-Bros-Wii-Reportedly-Wicked-Hard).

If it really is as hard as it's being claimed, then excellent. I'm all for this optional assistance for other players if it leaves the game as a challange for those that want it.
I've not seen any evidence of the game being hard, though. It so far looks about the same difficulty as NSMB on the DS.

[Kalyx triaD]

Pfft. Pussies.

[Drakul]

I hear the people at MTV Multiplayer are just bad at games in general. That might explain why he found it "Contra hard".

[Kalyx triaD]

Lame.

[OssMan]

I hope one of my friends buys this cause I want to play it a few times. Not gonna buy it though. They keep saying it's so great for multiplayer and I would just play it alone. And come on, this will be easy as shit

[OssMan]

November 15th.

[OssMan]

Will prolly end up buying it

[G]

*burning it

[Funky Fly]

same. BTW, where are you niggums getting your wii games now that demonoid is down? No way in hell I'm d/ling an iso off isohunt or mininova

[G]

http://www.warez-bb.org/index.php

[Funky Fly]

I love you, G.

[Funky Fly]

Shit, no new registrations. :(

Do they open up once in a while?

[G]

I dunno. I could always just give you the links to the files and passwords I guess.

[G]

The put the ISO's into like 50 rapidshare and megaupload files.

[Funky Fly]

oh sweet. I'd appreciate it. Gonna bug you for some shit a little later via pm then. The wii belongs to my brothers, but I do all the burning for them since they ALWAYS botch it.

[Vietnamese Crippler]

Why no torrents from isohunt/mininova?

[Funky Fly]

iso, not necessarily torrents. An iso is an image of a disc, so anything could be on it.

[OssMan]

I only buy games for those Club Nintendo points anyway

[G]

My Mario Hat came today. :cool:

[Funky Fly]

Is it a quality hat or some felt piece of crap?

[G]

It's pretty quality stuff. It's Nintendo brand, so I can't imagine it being crap, ya know. My daughter loves it.

[Drakul]

NSMBW is due out in 8 days in the UK and we are getting a limited edition version but no matter where I look, I can't find a list of what is in the LE. Anyone know?
It can't just be because it comes in a tin box.

[Emperor Smeat]

If its anything like the Metroid Prime Trilogy set, probably an art book and bonus stuff on the game disc or a bonus dvd. The game's case is basically all red and not white like a normal Wii game box.

[OssMan]

The Metroid Prime Trilogy didn't even have a regular edition

[Drakul]

The regular edition is all red. The LE is white like every other Wii game and comes in a tin box. No idea whats inside other than the game but I think its UK only. It probably will just be artwork or something.

Giantbomb's quick look at the game. The ghost house looks insane to try on single player.

[Drakul]

Wow, looks like a lot of fun. I only have 2 Wii remotes though so I wont get as chaotic an experiance as the video.

[OssMan]

Just get your friends to bring them over

[Drakul]

None of my friends have a Wii (or ar really into gaming at all anyway. It's more my "thing"). Those that do have a Wii only really got it because of all that hype last year and wouldn't be interested in coming over for a Mario session, I'd imagin.

So it's limited to me and Cool King, really.

[OssMan]

Neone got this yet

[G]

downloading it now

[Drakul]

I'm hoping to get it the week after release over here.
By the way, if you don't want levels and little game details spoiled for you, don't watch any of the video reviews online. They are all full of them.

[Drakul]

NSMBW is out today and I picked it up this morning. I paid an extra £5 for the LE and there is nothing extra in it.
It's just the game in the red case in a tin. No artwork or DVD or even a poster.
I paid £5 for a tin Mario money box, basically.
Typing this on my Wii so I'm going to get back to the game now. Only on World 2 and I already have 26 lives.

[Impact!]

Multi player is pretty fun

[Drakul]

Yeah multiplayers fun but with only 2 players, we were co-operating the whole time. Wouldn't mind a 4-player every man for himself play through.

Finished the game this morning with 90+ lives. The game isn't as hard as they said it would be but still fun.
The Bowser battle is pretty cool and now I just have to get all the star coins to unlock the levels in World 9.

[Emperor Smeat]

The trick with the difficulty in multiplayer is only 1 person needs to reach the end of the level. So if you have 1 person with a lot of lives, it makes it easier overall but more chaotic since there are more people to deal with.

In single player its basically 1 life per level and if you die its back to beginning or to checkpoint.

[Drakul]

I finished it solo, not in multiplayer. I wasn't clear on that.

Played multiplayer again and it's much better when each player is trying to screw the others over. Had some genuine moments of laughing out loud at it.

I'm wondering if they'll release another side scrolling Mario game. They are churning out the sequels a lot more regularly than they used to.

[OssMan]

I bought this but I'm afraid to play it because the system update will delete the homebrew channel.

[G]

Last I heard, it came with 4.1 and not 4.2.

[Savio]

I bought this but I'm afraid to play it because the system update will delete the homebrew channel.Should have downloaded it illegally

[OssMan]

We played like ten levels on my friend's wii. Might just register it for the kewl nintendo points and then Craigslist it for Metroid Prime Trilogy or something.

[Indifferent Clox]

how do you burn games for wii? i just got a wii for my gf for christmas and I'd like to get her a bunch of burned games as extras since she already knows about the wii, it'd be anice surprise? how many gigs are each game?

[OssMan]

Get her real games to show her that U care

[Indifferent Clox]

Yeah. If I had enough money after buying her a wii I would. But I think she will be happier that I didn't spend more money than she would be just to get games. We share our money so...

[G]

Since you have a new 4.2 Wii, it's a lot harder to hack. More shit needs to be done, compared to when we all did it.

[Indifferent Clox]

:(

[OssMan]

Back in the day when we would hack our wiis with relative ease and sit through the lazy days

[Savio]

Yeah those were the days :cool:

[OssMan]

Savior, do you realize that we have the same post count? 23,523?

[Savio]

That is pretty crazy
