This is just a discussion thread for nsmb wii until someone makes an official one.

Personally, I hope that you can choose which character you want to play as before a level, like smb 2.

Do you think the toads were good 3rd and 4th player choices or do you think there should have been other characters?

Do you think head of games ideas were good ones?

Talk about that here!

Yes, this game looks pretty sweet. BTW i dont think anybody will make an "official" discussion about this. Whatever, do what you shall, nobody can do anything except lock this.

1. You can. :D 2. I think they where a tad generic, which I can only assume means they are something of "filler" for until other characters are announced. 3. Nah, that guy is a total idiot. :P

I hope this game doesn't turn out to be short. Just because it's based on a NES game, doesn't mean it has to feel like one.

any words on online mode? yes or no? Thx :Dchang_1910
We aren't exactly sure, because we've get to get a precise quote from Miyamoto. However, I think we can safely say that we won't be playing the main story mode with online co-op, which is a darn shame considering it could be quite difficult to get four gamers together. But beyond that, I don't think we have any solid news. Of course, we don't even know if there will be a "beyond that".

I played this game at E3 Wednesday, and it really a blast with four people.:D It still a shame that there won't be online co-op.

The game looks insanely fun, and lucky me i won't have issues with co-op, because i have either cousins or friends to play the game.

I think that the Toads are a bad choice, i mean, 1 is ok, but 2, i really really hope that there are other characters, like Peach or even Wario would be fine, too bad that this Holiday are tons of great games,hope i can afford this one.

LIke I just said, chances are that they are just placeholders until something else is announced, or more likely you play as them in-game until you unlock other characters. I for one want to see Peach, Bowser, and Donkey Kong. Leave Wario and Waluigi out of it. Maybe throw in ROB just for the heck of it.

Um... no. Birdo is a useless filler character for games like Mario Party. We want only top-notch characters here! Although, it would be interesting for her to ride Yoshi.... :P

For the third time, those are probably filler characters.

Yes, but only as filler characters without special abilities. Birdo has yoshi-like powers, ergo, can not be a placeholder. Therefore, he(she?) would have to be an unlockable character, and there is no need for that. If it's lucky Birdo may get in with a role identical to that of Yoshi.

I cannot wait to play the game coop. It looks really fun.

One thing that really disappointed me though is that the game doesn't support gamecube controllers. I only have 2 wiimotes and I certainly won't buy more just for this game. Sucks. :(

The player gameplay looks great but why do we need to play as Toad why not Wario or Waluigi.

I hope there's more than just two toads...I know why they chose them though. They need a red, green, blue, and yellow character cause that's the 4 colors for 4-player wii games. Mario and luigi are obvious, so we need two more, one yellow, one blue. I assume the princess is captured again, so she's out, plus she's pink. BUT, Daisy wears a yellow dress, so you could have her in the game and float like peach in SMB2(american version).

Wario is yellow too.

As for a blue character...I don't know. Guess a blue toad. :)

Also, they MUST put online and mario vs luigi in! MvL in NSMB was super addictive and would be even better with 4 players and online. 4player online in the adventure mode would only work with friend codes. If you tried playing with random people, they would just throw you down a hole for laughs. Also, you need to communicate, so this is a perfect wiispeak game.

So, in summation:

4 player friends only wii speak online play for the adventure

4 player vs mode with friends and wii speak, or random (no wii speak)

.

Also, while the propeller hats a re cool, they're not very "Mario-ish". They should have made them look like the wing caps from Mario64.

At E3 none of the characters had any special abilities, and I liked it like this. Leave the characters similar, cause it'd be a bit unfair if you had someone like Luigi who had mad hops and didn't need to use something like the propeller suit cause you could just use someone as a jump post. :P (I did a lot in the E3 version) Playing as other characters would be fine, but they'd be no more than mere skins I would say. It's weird to just have Toad, but whatever. Maybe there will be other players, but for now the game should just rely on basic moves and power-ups to keep balance and make it fun. It was a blast playing with four people that I'm really anticipating this game a lot now. I don't know if I could play it single-player now to be frank, and I really wish it had online. It's a shame it won't, but hopefully the game will have many levels to play and secrets to explore too.

I happy that Yoshi is returning. I hope that we get the cape power-up again, although flying with 4-players on-screen makes this seem impossible.

Maybe they could dumb it down to the point where you can just hover over big gaps that others can't cross, rather than fully-fledged flying.

I like the idea of having Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Waluigi. Sort of a good and evil thing, and Waluigi has yet to be in a platformer yet,

Looking at the footage at E3 gives me the impression that friends can pull out some cruel things towards each other in multiplayer. Imagine the reaction if it has online play with strangers.

What is the hype for this game, or should we wait until we know more about it?

I think we know pretty much all there is to know.
The only question mark i have left is how someone (Miyamoto himself?) said that the game was very taxing for the wii. Since it is a 2d platformer i wonder why. Something we don't know yet or is it just because of the 4 player action?
Of course if You don't really have friends or brother/sister to play with, it might be very interesting to know whether the game can also provide excellent singleplayer gameplay.
I probably buy it anyway. My little brother and me are going to have lots of fun. A mixture of co-op and rivalry is exactly the right thing for us.

Actually this is inspired by many of the old school 2d mario's and it is already confirmed to have over 80 levels.
