New Super Mario Bros.

sethsez · 05-17-2006, 12:12 AM

Yeah. It's awesome. Don't expect an extremely long, epic game filled with excruciating challenges and an involving plot... this is Super Mario Bros. through and through, and pretty much picks up where SMB3 left off.

Oh, and the enemies dance to the music. It's kinda cute.

Anyone else get it?

SCRUGAtes13 · 05-17-2006, 01:07 AM

is this the game for ds, the 3d one? is this out in england yet?

sethsez · 05-17-2006, 01:21 AM

Yes, it's for the DS, but it's not 3D. Well, Mario and some of the enemies are polygonal, but this is 100% pure sidescrolling. Like I said, think Super Mario Bros 3.

And I don't know when it's out in Europe yet, sorry. I don't even think it's out in Japan yet. For some reason America got it first.

I think it's out over here pretty soon Scruga, hopefully in the next month or 2. Sucks that we always get stuff late. I'm really looking forward to it, it looks like a classic. There's videos and a review up on www.ign.com. I like the way Mario can grow to fill the whole screen in this one!

Game looks sweet. Amazon.co.uk keeps changing the release date, though. First it said May 15th, then June 30th, then May 15th again and now June 30th!

SCRUGAtes13 · 05-18-2006, 01:58 AM

I could probably get this not long after its released.
The store in town always imports most releases, especialy reigon free ones

Is there anythign else to it? like a wifi battle kinda thing like Marios 3 battle thing?

bigjko · 05-19-2006, 06:43 AM

There's a large-scale battle, two-player kind of thing. Where you collect big stars, and wrestle stars out of the other player. Then there's the mini-games from Super Mario 64 DS, only they're retooled to work in multiplayer (mostly two-player, I think.)

This is not WiFi, though. Just wireless link play. The mini-games are single-cartridge wireless, don't know about the battle game.

Hope that made sense..

Karmillo · 05-19-2006, 06:55 AM

Aw so I couldnt play them with other people around the world? just local?

Good luck if you didn't preorder

Might I suggest a Toys 'R Us if there's one in your area? I was basically laughed at by gamestop on tuesday, so I drove to a Toys 'R Us and they had dozens of copies for sale

05-19-2006, 02:12 PM

It's like they took everything good about every good Mario game and shrunk it down to a tiny cartridge. It's good.

Karmillo · 05-19-2006, 02:17 PM

So you get to answer questions based on historical figures?

05-19-2006, 02:18 PM

Well, not that Mario game.
