CVG- New Super Mario Bros U: Fresh new thrills?

CVG- Good job Nintendo thought to put the word "New" in the title of New Super Mario Bros U, because otherwise we might mistake it for one of the least original ideas they've come up with in years.

As a bunch of unashamed Mario devotees, it gives us no pleasure to say so: there was a time when each new side-scrolling Mario platformer filled us with excitement before we even got our hands on it. But for the first time in our lives with a Mario title, we found ourselves treating New Super Mario Bros like any other game.

It's currently not going to be one of my launch purchases, so I guess I feel the same.

Lucretia4267d ago

nah, it will be more of the same old stuff.

with out a doubt it will be fun, i really like New super mario bros, but i mean we have gotten 5 games/re releases and or ports within 3-4 years, its being milked again. would like to see atleast 1 new ip a year nintendo

It could have the same exact levels from the first game. As long as they have online co-op in this one, I will buy this day one.

The four player co-op in the first game was just that fun.

Lucretia4267d ago

yeeeah, thats a little sad though Kamina fan. because it could easily be patched and have that added, but nintendo fans are willing to pay for the same game over and over (zelda orcina of time released 4 times or more)

and im highly doubtful this game is going to be the first one lol. but it would be awesome with online.

this game should include the first game and add online support for it

PopRocks3594267d ago

Okay, don't be ridiculous. Miyamoto stated the Wii could not do four player co-op on that game due to its lack of power. That would not be an excuse on the Wii U, last I checked.

You know what I think is sad? That you hardly ever have anything positive to say about any of these articles that you comment on.

Not seen anything that screams fresh and everything that screams recycled with this game. Which is unfortunate. I long for the days when 2D Mario games were given the royal treatment.

There is no excuse why one could argue a Galaxy game looks better graphically than this game other than effort and passion from the devs involved. Its sad really.

I hope this game surprises me and ends up being something special, a worthy sequel to Mario 3/World..But I'm not holding my breath.

Goodbye New Mario, I Won't Miss You

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest312d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic312d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

Asplundh312d ago

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

Juancho51312d ago

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos312d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz312d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game

shinoff2183312d ago

I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh
