Category: News Nintendo video Wii E3 09: New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a breath of fresh air Chad Concelmo | Published: Jun 3, 2009 10:00 am 0 Recommended Videos With all the fancy 3D games and their complicated controls coming out lately, sometimes it is nice to see something with some clean, simple sensibilities in mind. This refreshing, retro way of thinking is never more evident than in the just announced New Super Mario Bros. Wii. When I first heard the announcement of this game at yesterday’s Nintendo press conference, I have to admit, I was a little nervous. Because of its decidedly uncreative name, I thought New Super Mario Bros. Wii was nothing more than an upgraded port of the Nintendo DS version of New Super Mario Bros. Luckily, I was wrong, as New Super Mario Bros. Wii is in actuality a brand new 2D Mario platformer with similar, but much shinier, graphics and some of the same tried, true, and fantastically designed gameplay of the Nintendo DS original. Even better, this new game allows for four-player simultaneous play throughout its many, classic Mario levels. I will be back with my hands-on impressions of this remarkably charming and super fun game later today. For now, check out the above trailer that reveals two new Mario power-ups (propeller helmet and penguin suit!) and look in the gallery for some beautiful screens. Who would have ever thought New Super Mario Bros. Wii was going to be one of the most exciting (and most entertaining) games at E3? Post Tag: 2D E3 mario Destructoid is supported by our audience.
