New Super Mario Bros. for Wii Announced, Co-op Mario Supports Four Players

Nintendo today announced New Super Mario Bros. for Wii, a 2D Mario game that will support four player co-op.

The game resembles the Nintendo DS version of New Super Mario Bros, but allows up to 1-4 players to traverse the 2D levels as characters such as Mario, Luigi, Yoshi and Toad. Players can switch between single-player and co-op at any time.

"We admit, we haven't quite figured out how to move [Mario] into a fourth dimension," said Nintendo's Cammie Dunaway. "But that number, four, that's the key to Mario's next surprise."

"For the last fifteen years, Mr. Miyamoto has been thinking about one new way to let you play a Mario game that's never been done before."

New Super Mario Bros. will hit the Wii this holiday.

"Mister Myamoto's next masterpiece"

No, no it isn't.

This is so so typical of Nintendo trying to fluff up what they've essentially been doing for years, milking the shit out of their existing properties.

This'll rake in the dosh quite nicely, not that they need it. Still, my Wii is sat in the corner doing nothing and it'll probably stay that way for the rests of it's days.

it looks retarded. from what they showed off, 4 player 'co-op' adds nothing to the game.

I'm excited, but I wonder if they'll add a few new levels--maybe even a new world or two?--to attract players who have already played the game on DS. I'll get it either way; it was a blast the first time through, and I look forward to some co-op action.

That is all I really wanted. I might have to buy a Wii again now that Amazon has that deal where you can get an extra $75 towards a game system if you trade in $75 worth of games.

If they drop the price of the Wii, I definitely will.

jesus christ i think i'd like nintendo more if they just skipped the marketing bullshit and told us what we know they're doing:

"hey we already did this game but we decided to add a feature and port it to a new system and charge full price! we'll be in hawaii counting money if you need us."
