Iam stoked. I would love to see this on a better engine though. COuld you imagine this on the 360 with multiplayer on live, and achievements. Mario in hidef would be amazing. Oh well

I was iffy at first because of how it looks, but it should be a blast with co-op.

New 2D Zelda and Metroid next, please!

I'm really enjoying the fact that Nintendo is actually catering towards a few of its "Old School" fans with the 2-d-ish retro-ish feel. I was kind of fading away from Nintendo for a bit, but for now... They got me

It looks like Mario...again. This is hardly a breath of fresh air, it's as stale as my pants. I don't think all these Fancy 3D games with complicated controls are really coming out. Sure there's been a lot of new releases but there's also been a ton of retro themed or altogether retro games coming out.

How many times can we play mario? And at the press conference they said their awesome brains invented four player? Are they joking? Maybe nintendo were right, maybe all "Hardcore" gamers want is the same old shit over and over. Can't you just go back and play the old ones?

Are we just trying to find something to be happy about now or what? Someone send Arnie back in time to save us from Nintendo's regurgitated worms.

"It looks like Mario...again. This is hardly a breath of fresh air, it's as stale as my pants."

There are about 300 FPS's coming out for every system, and you whine when one classic platformer gets announced.

This will be good.

waiting on a lbp level that has about all the same mechanics. a new mario is great though.

I actually got a LittleBigPlanet feeling from some of the levels shown later in the video. Then again, LBP gave me kind of a Yoshi's Island feel at times, so...

Looks great :)

I liked the one for the DS but this one really looks to raise the bar on fun :)

Naw, I'm whining about everything ;)

Apart from a few little things E3 this year was the same as every other year. I made a comment about this in the "vote for your favourite conference" article. I'm getting pretty tired of playing the same games. Now I'm older I have drastically reduced my games purchases and it's not because of money problems. It's because most games just aren't worth it.

Punchout was great, nostalgic but actually a pretty good game. I welcome more Left 4 Dead stuff because that's a great game too and there hasn't been enough for me personally yet, that's because it offers something a little new at least. Modern Warfare 2 is, what, the 6th COD game? Halo ODST with the announcement of Halo 5/Reach coming. Things have (or at least should have) their limits. This game is, at best, trying to be a nostalgic distraction.

I urge you to listen to a great lecture by Jonathan Blow as to why most games aren't as memorable or affect us in the same way great books or films.

Simple fun is great at times, but I'm starting to crave some more imaginative and meaninful experiences and there are developers doing so but not enough.

Put it this way; Are you still playing with your paddle ball? What about ball in a cup? How about a hoop and a stick? Hoola Hoop? Marbles? YOYO? Hopscotch? Maybe you do ocassionaly. I should ask whether you get excited about the thought of playing with those? No? Then why the hell are we still doing it for sidescrolling mario games?

One single concern.... looks to control as lose as a granny fanny.

I can't wait to play this. It looks so amazing

Probably most people here didn't have a gamecube, 4 friends, 4 gbas and a copy of Zelda 4 Swords, this is exactly that but with platforming instead of puzzles. There will be a very fine line between you needing your friends to overcome some obstacle, and you screwing them over for more points.

A more contemporary example would be LBP, but with a good (jumping) physics engine and 80 levels made by the experts of 2D platforming.

Whoa. Long time Wii hater here...this looks amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

* Very much like LBP. What is good. A level editor would be awesome.

Yay!! Sssh, haters, as NSMB on DS was some of the best, 'master-able' platforming in a while - top stuff, and a wonderful blast down memory lane. With Muramasa, the demon blade,and this, I now HAVE to get a Wii. Plus, to play through Super Mario Galaxy.

I`m very pleased with this announcement!

Flying manta ray and crazy looking block level CONFIRMED for BRAWL

....PUT THIS ON THE DS AND IT'LL BE WORTH IT.

Also am I the only one who fucking hates the idea that these are called "new super mario bros" and not just.. oh i dunno.. mario bros 4 and 5?
how long can they keep calling them "new"? I don't like having to reffer to it as "new super mario bros." kinda obnoxious. FUCK i feel like such a debbie downer right now.

or should i say KYOSUKE NANBAWWWWWWWWW
<3

I prefer the 90's graphics like Super Mario World. Bring that back!

I'd probably complain about how this is rehashing and further make a fool of myself, but come on, I get to ride Yoshis once again. I can't hate against that.

I'm actually more excited for this than Super Mario Galaxy 2. :D
