A final retail copy of New Super Mario Wii arrived today, and as promised, the box is fancy.
Unlike the normal, boring white boxes that most Wii games come in, New Super Mario Wii will hit shelves in a red box. It's accented by the game's fancy cover art, which while also in red, also features the Wii logo in a foiled silver. I repeat -- totally fancy.
To give you an idea of how not fancy this could have been, I put the art sleeve into a plain old vanilla Wii box. You can see that after the jump. If they had done that, there's no way it anyone would have bought this thing. Am I right?

I know this.
But I still want the game more because of it.
Quite frankly, I wouldn't care if New Super Mario Bros. Wii came packaged in a cardbox box.I can't wait to pick this game soon.
I like the red box design. Very smexy. Gonna pick this game up now, whereas before I wasn't.

it will be the only game tearing the wife and i away from borderlands. :)
White = Purity, cleanliness, and safety.
Red = life & energy (movement & excitement).It's also said to be the color of what the human eye first looks at.
Whatev. Unless they somehow made this game absurdly long, it's a rental for me anyway.
Besides, it will help it to stand out from all of the waggle-ware and shovel-ware that dominated the poor, little console.
Looks amazing, but we all know it's just a great marketing ploy! Not that a new Mario game even needs one! =P
I mean, I would buy this game even if it came sold in an old banana peel!
I have the retail game from here and we don't get foiled silver Wii logo.
Now i demand an answer from Nintendo about this.
A good game is a good game, no matter how old it is. And I don't remember playing Mario co-op 20 years ago.
As I look back on 2005, I remember when the Wii was still called the REVOLUTION. I also remember those sexy, sexy colours being promised. Why wasn't their a black Wii. piano black > anything.
Also, SQUUEEEEEEEE NSMB Wii AHHHOMG.
