UPDATE: Not enough dimensions for you? Super Mario Galaxy 2 has just been announced at E3 too!
New Super Mario Bros for Wii has just been announced, bringing that beautiful 2D gameplay into 2009, with added multiplayer mayhem!
New Super Mario Bros for Wii has just been unveiled at the Nintendo E3 keynote, and it’s a magnificent retro mutation of a game. There’s the instantly recognisable sidescrolling look of the old Super Mario Bros, but with a 3D styling and 4 player mayhem thrown in for good measure.
You can pick up other players in New Super Mario Bros to help or hinder them and bounce of enemies, and there’s a new power up, the Propeller Suit, which will see you zooming up in the air with a flick of the Wiimote. It’s competitive though – you race to get hold of the flag at the end, and anyone who grabs it three seconds after the first player gets bonus points too.
You’ll be able to get hold of New Super Mario Bros for Wii for yourself this Christmas, but you’ll have to get up early to beat us to the front of that queue.
Out Winter 2009 | £TBC | Nintendo
