Posted November 16, 2012 Thank you! I am excited for this game now. Way more so than a week ago, when I hoped it would be good, but feared it to be mediocre. Then the reviews started sprouting from the earth... Two weeks now. Two weeks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 16, 2012 If anyone is interested in how long it takes to produce one of these games, apparently this one took three years: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/11/iwata_asks_reveals_new_super_mario_bros_u_took_three_years_to_develop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 16, 2012 I wonder how long they'd take without Miyamoto upending the tea table all the time Looks very polished to me. Really can't wait to have a good play. On a personal note, my brother's recovering from a mental illness at the moment and I've found that playing the Wii seems to help him relax and communicate. He actually smiles and becomes his old self. It'll be great sharing this with him in co-op Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It just shows how much pleasure a game can bring and what it can do to bring families together. It's why I love Nintendo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 16, 2012 Cheers guys It just shows how much pleasure a game can bring and what it can do to bring families together.It's why I love Nintendo! Indeed! It's partly why I can't be too jaded about Nintendo games even when I try! I intend to get my mates into this too and some Nintendo Land of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 16, 2012 I intend to get my mates into this too and some Nintendo Land of course. Yeah definitely gotta get some Nintendo Land multiplayer going on! I think NSMB as a whole is a great series for multiplayer, despite only being introduced fairly recently. There's something old school about sitting in front of a TV with your mate / family member and just going about the adventure together. Me and my cousin did this all the time back in the Mega Drive days when we were kids growing up and it was brilliant. Games like Batman and Robin, Altered Beast and Golden Axe etc, all played whilst being sat next to each other and trying to get further than last time! NSMB brings that old school feeling right back for me and I can't wait to play! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted November 18, 2012 After thinking of what I just saw, I actually wish I had not seen or heard that review. This was unfortunate. I regret that my enthusiasm caused this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 18, 2012 Isn't this the third New Super Mario Bros. game with an extra world, though? So whether it's the Star World or just a World 9, it's hardly shocking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 18, 2012 Isn't this the third New Super Mario Bros. game with an extra world, though? So whether it's the Star World or just a World 9, it's hardly shocking. It's like Father Christmas; everyone knows really, but that doesn't mean you want to be told! Plus it's actually more the specific SMW reference here that's the spoiler, not it being a special world per se. Again though, it could easily be guessed by the number of other influences on the game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 18, 2012 The spoiler... That's Funky but Outrageous. Then again a Mondo, Groovy, Gnarly, Tubular 90's throwback is good. Before I realised it was just Way Cool and actually Awesome! (couldn't resist!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
