New Super Mario Bros. 2: So Whats New?

Many people have been speculating as to what new content will be introduced into New Super Mario Bros 2; in actual fact, everyone should also be asking about what old content will make it in. It appears that New Super Mario Bros 2 will be heavily influenced by 1988 classic Super Mario Bros 3, which mean only good things for this upcoming release. A sequel that looks back to the early years of the franchise while still implementing fresh new ideas? Gamers should definitely keep an eye on this.

The good thing about Mario games is that they don't have to change at all. It's fun and addictive either way.

kingofe34431d ago

It's sad to see something like this being ignored because stuff like this prove people wrong.

chingy13374431d ago

While I, like many loved the old days of sidescrolling Mario, the series has showed its age in this genre.

The levels are beautiful and there is always fun abound, but once you look at it, there are just new power-ups and themes. In my opinion it's showing age.

Nintendo has proven that a Mario in space, a paper Mario, and an RPG can be successful, yet what do we get? Collecting coins and turning gold? Come on, we have seen revolutions in the series much greater than this.

kingofe34430d ago

Not every single game has to be a revolution. It's a sequel to the DS game like NSMB U is a sequel to the Wii game.

chrispen94430d ago (Edited 4430d ago )

Sometimes the game needs to evolve in order for people to stay captivated in the series. It would be nice to see the New Super Mario Bros installments change like the original NES did.

tehpees34430d ago

I could be asking the very same thing about Call of Duty. Funny everybody digs on Mario for this but NSMB hasn't seen a sequel since NSMB wii. Thats was in 2009.

Now let me go write that up about Call of Duty, which has been the same thing year after year since long before that.

Kos-Mos4430d ago

Did you know? Mario is art. cod is teenagers screaming.

chrispen94430d ago (Edited 4430d ago )

But releasing 2 New Super Mario Bros games in one season? I wish Nintendo spread their games out more. I would want them to take their time with each Mario game they make rather than rushing them out.

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?

specialguest457d 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

__SteakDeck__457d ago

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic457d ago

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

Asplundh457d ago

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

Juancho51457d ago

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

Profchaos457d 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

Outlawzz456d 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

shinoff2183456d 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

If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.

Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.

This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!

ocelot07944d ago

Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.

Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?

MadLad944d ago (Edited 944d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot07943d ago

Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.

I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?

MadLad943d ago (Edited 943d ago )

N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.

Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.

If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.

pietro1212943d ago

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

XxINFERNUSxX943d ago

You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

XxINFERNUSxX943d ago

This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
