A Zillion Super Mario Games Announced at E3
Date: Wednesday June 3, 2009Posted in: DSi, NDS, Preview, Wii
If you’re more of a casual gamer than those of us around here, you might not know that the Super Bowl of Videogamedom (otherwise known as E3) is going on right now! And you might ALSO not know that at Nintendo’s press conference the other day, they seemingly revealed a zillion new Super Mario Games available across all their systems! “Wowee wow!” - We know! You can expect a lot more information about these games in the days and weeks to come, but until then here’s a little snippet of what you missed:
Super Mario Bros Wii - Wii
It looks like Super Mario Bros has been reimagined for the Wii! That means all of the side scrolling action that you’ve come to know from the two plumbers is now coming back for the holiday season. But different than what you’re used to seeing, this time you can play with up to three of your friends at the same time (yes that means 4 people at once as Mario, Luigi, Toad and another Toad) as you get all the familiar power ups (and new ones) and traverse the game in another Super Mario Bros adventure!
Super Mario Galaxy 2 - Wii
Heralded as the Nintendo’s first true sequel to one of their 3D games on the same console, introducing Super Mario Galaxy 2 for the Wii. From trailers, it looks like you’re going to be seeing more of the Galaxy action that made the first one an instant classic including the great Wiimote gestures, powerups, and worlds. In this outing, Nintendo is finally giving us Yoshi again! (When was the last time we saw HIM on a next gen system?!)
Mario & Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story - NDS
Ok get this - Apparently Bowser has eaten some kind of magic mushroom and begins to inhale everything around him including Mario, Luigi and Princess Peach! While at first it may sound like yet another Mario and Luigi game, this one has two plots going on at the same time… The action inside Bowser, and the action outside which has Bowser trying to stop a coup of his castle. And with both storylines affecting each other, the game looks like it might have some promise for the small system.
Mario vs Donkey Kong: Minis March Again! - DSi Ware
And finally there’s this game for the DSi. Truthfully, I’m not sure what’s going on here but it looks like DK is wearing a tie again and there’s a whole bunch of miniature people walking around uh… doing stuff. I know that you can build levels and upload them, but just stay tuned for more details.
