The NEW Super Mario Bros... yay!
Dah, I already knew about this game...
Poor Buzzies, they're getting uglier. 😞
Although I do trust nintendo in making mario game, I don't like the 3d models in a 2d world.
Reminds me of Viewtiful Joe. sure it was a good game, but it just couldnt get into it.
I hate nintendo, nd i feel the ds is overall just another rehash, but lets not get into my views please ...I will say though that looks so much like what i dreamed super mario bros would look like when i was like 8 it's scarey ...pretty damned cool from the retro aspect.
The only 2D platformer I've really been able to get into was that Duke Nukem one which was really 3D. Manhatten Project? It's been a while. Anyway, the point is that this looks like it might interest me in the same way. Hmm.
From the looks of it, it looks very....I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's like they're trying to recycle a bunch of old concepts, put a new skin on it, and call it a new game. It looks more like "Super Mario Bros 1 Remake" instead of a true new Mario game. Kinda like a highschool burnout who hangs around in the parking lot 10 years after he graduated "Hey guys, I'm still cool...right....right?"
I'm going to have to play this personally. I'm still getting it, but at this point I'm unconvinced that it's going to be a second coming of Mario.
EDIT: Actually,a few of the screenshots look promising, such as the upper left one on the first page. I just hope they don't rely on nostalgia, and actually bring something new to the table. I hope in the new product I can actually point to lots of little things and say "That's cool, and an awesome and fitting addition to the Mairo universe". So far, all I've seen are sharks.
Something that bugs me is how they tote around the word "New Super Mario Bros." like its the actual title. I know its new, I don't need it to see it in the title. And what happens when its not new, and the title still says it is. 😛
Nintendo Power had an article about it this month and had it in caps, not "the new Super Mario Bros, but "New Super Mario Bros.". Its not a typo, because everyone's site says it that way. So it doesn't appear to be a tentative title. Just something that bugged. I thought I'd share. 😉
It looks promising, but I'd have to try it out before I can give a definite opinion.
Hopefully, it wont turn out to be crap.
I'm excited to play it. My only worry is that it will be short, and whether it will feel like the original Super Mario Bros with the 3D character models.
One word: WOW!
I am going to get this game. Nintendo, I am waiting. I'm just about crazy about anything to do with Mario, remake or not. I've recently played through SMB3 again and guess what, I still like it. So if it is a SMB1 remake - and it doesn't look like it - I'll play it through and still enjoy every moment.
Of course I'd be even more thrilled if it has new features, and some of the screenshots look like it does.
This is more classical, but yeah, I'd like to play these levels through again with newer graphics.
Dude, that'd be pure bitchin'... The original Super Mario Bros. w/3d graphics, maybe as a bonus unlockable mode after you beat the game. I'd frickin' love that. I was SOOOO disappointed when, during the release of all those Super Mario Advance games, not one of them was the original Super Mario Bros. Then again, they should've just released Super Mario Allstars on GBA and that would've taken care of it right there... But nooooo, we have to milk the frickin' franchise, don't we? *sigh* So torn... I both love and hate Nintendo so much... *shrug*
They re-released SMB1 back in the days of the Gameboy Color. That's why they never made an 'advance' version of it.
I'll probably end up getting this. But I'm hoping that they add enough to make it fun to play. I don't just want the same version of the first Mario Bros. game with better graphics. But from some screenshots, it looks somewhat promising.

Have you seen the Pokemon games? 😛
If you read the description, it's not a remake of the first game, but an entirely new SMB game. I dunno where the whole remake thing came from.
I'm not so concerned with new features. I mean, yeah, they'd be awesome, but we haven't had a traditional Super Mario Bros. game since Super Mario World, and if the game is just like the earlier ones, well, more of the same thing doesn't bother me one bit. They're still fun to play.
It looks a little too plain to me. Just looking at the screenshots available, it seems to be just Mario 1 with a few new twists. What disappoints me about it is that the screens don't seem as lively as those of Mario 3. Mario 3 was chock full of interesting and exotic concepts and things everywhere you went. This just looks like a slightly better job of what Mario Allstars did for Mario 1.
so... much... badassedness.... I can't wait.
Just look at page 6. That looks like enough new content to satisfy me. I remember how fun it was to play SSBM in adventure mode, because I got to do fun shit with my cool 3D characters. What's wrong with that? Sure, it might be like the older games, but who cares? It's still fun.
This will catch my interest when they finally realease it because I always loved the 2d side scrolling version of mario. I never was interested in the 3d version of the mario games.
I'm definitely buying this, because I function by the Blizzard Principle, which is, in my own words: Innovation can take second place, and graphics third, providing that solid, fun gameplay takes first place.
I don't mind playing games that aren't cutting edge or conceptually unique, provided that they're just plain fun. Some of my favorite games right now and over the past few months have been freeware games, or old games I used to have demos of that have become abandonware after five or six years. This new Mario Bros game has some new stuff, but what's really going to sell it is:
1) It's mario, and thus kid/mom friendly
2) It's a solid 2d platformer
Some multiplayer co-op or time attack modes would be great for replay value, but even on it's own, I'd buy this game hands down.
Oh hey, so apparently the new Super Mario Bros. will have 80 levels... Also, there are some even newer screenshots.
80 levels?!? That's awesome! I can't wait to get my new Nintendo Power (which is cited as the source of this new info) 😃
With recent games (specifically Mario Kart: DS, Tetris: DS, and to some extent Metroid Prime: Hunters for it's multiplayer options) Nintendo has just been putting tons of content into their games. The New Super Mario Bros with it's 80+ levels, multiplayer modes, etc, is no exception. I'm glad to see this because it adds a lot of value to an otherwise simple game like SMB.
I see wifi... and the return of the world map. I must have it now.
Sorry to resurrect a new thread, but there's a new official gameplay video for New Super Mario Bros... Frickin' awesome, too. Apparently Nintendo will be releasing a video once a week until the game is out.

That was sweet. Did you notice in one of the water ones Mario had a big blue turtle shell on his back? New suit?
yea but is it just me or do those sharks seem really plain?

I got a chance to watch the video today too. I'm much more interested in the game now because it looks like they've added a lot of little things from other Mario games, so it's not simply a beefed up SMB. (for instance the P blocks that make coins appear, and how Mario somersaults after he's touched a star-man)
I like the video preview thing they're doing. Hopefully Nintendo will do it for more games in the future. As it stands, I can't wait to see the other videos they plan to release as the launch day approaches.
I'll get it as soon as it's released, but i'm not interested in the hype it's generating, for some reason.
New video up at the main site. Good news, the levels are a great deal more vertical than I had previously thought.
Oh, by the way, the shark in the water shown earlier was from Mario 64.
