E3 09: Nintendo announces a new Super Mario Bros for the Wii photo

After Microsoft's incredible press conference yesterday, one could only imagine what the other press conferences had in store. Nintendo must have been in the mood to kick off strong, because within ten minutes of the conference's kickoff they were already showing off a new Mario game on the Wii!

The game features 4 player co-op and will be playable on the E3 show floor this year.We don't have a lot more details right now, but as soon as the conference wraps we ought to have screens and more to show you. And of course, we promise to go hands on with the game as soon as Nintendo lets us today. Are you excited? Keep an eye on our Nintendo liveblog to keep up with all the rest of today's announcements!

A new 2D Mario game would have been enough. 4-player co-op puts it over the edge. Of course I'm excited!

Why am I not surprised? We all knew this was coming. However, 4 player co-op? All on one screen? Splitscreen? Online co-op? That is pretty cool. As long as the game is good, I don't care how many generations Mario will still be alive.

another mario game!? who would have thought about such insanity!!!

u know what dear nintendo... why not do something refreshing? you know something no one would expect. (This unfortunately doesn't apply to most of your gaming line up) but why don't you make your next mario game look like this?



then I will bow down to your system, until then, i will keep using it as a book shelf holder.

Dude it just started. Besides I would rather wait a another couple of years of good sequels and no new series until they make one that is as high on the awesome scale as Pikmin then for them to make a new crappy series every month

Fuck all the haters complaining about a new Mario game. Seriously, fuck them.

This is awesome. Predictable? Yes. Awesome? Fucking yes. As long as the game is fun I don't care which mascot is in it.

Dude, four-player co-op platformer? Color me intrigued. Look, last year half of the people on the message boards were whining about how Nintendo wasn't making any "hardcore" titles- "Where's the new Mario? Where's the new Zelda?" Well, we've got a new Mario, and now there are people whining that Nintendo aren't introducing any new IP. Sheesh, you can't please all the people all the time.

I missed the video! East coast slacker, only woke up 30 minutes into the presser, damn.

I miss the mario game, but I'm awake for Wii rehashes and DS junk like a James Patterson book and a fashion game.

I'll have to find the video seperate later I guess.

And now here is the president of the company to explain there continuing commitment to brushing off long time fans in the interest of chasing that non-gamer dollar.

Not impressed, now I really wish I had seen the Mario game demo.

Looks fun, but I don't understand why we haven't been getting one of these a year released on WiiWare since the Wii's debut. As much as I love NSMB on the DS, I think I'd rather see some high quality paper Mario-style 2d on the Wii incarnation. Why must they impose 3d on our beloved 2d?

Wow some people are just retarded. They complain about Nintendo abandoning the hardcore, and how they want more games like Mario, or Zelda. But when those games get announced, these same people say thanks for nothing Nintendo its just another Mario game.

If you don't like true main Mario games, then why the fuck do you even own a Wii? No matter what Nintendo does they just can't please those type of people, because those people just don't want to be pleased with Nintendo anymore!
