Nintendo is one of the most iconic gaming companies not just because of their hardware but because of their in-house developed games as well. Video game franchises like Kirby, Zelda and most importantly, Super Mario Bros have become household names. Add the success of these franchises to the success of Nintendo’s consoles like the Wii and DS and you can see why the company gets such good press.
However, with the Nintendo 3DS just around the corner many have wondered what exciting new titles Nintendo will be giving us. Well, if you had any doubt in your mind that Super Mario Bros would be making the jump to 3D, you can now lay those doubts to rest. Shigeru Miyamoto himself came forth today to say the following:
“In the interests of adopting new technology for the Super Mario Bros. tradition, I am now making a new Super Mario Bros. game for the Nintendo 3DS.”
Seeing how he has went on record as saying he’s currently making the game we’re going to assume that it won’t be a launch title. However Mario in 3D is certainly coming, don’t you worry.
With all of the Super Mario Galaxy 2 media dropping left and right, it’s pretty evident that the game is shaping up to be one of the best Mario titles as of late. Today, we have a new, brief video for you (included above) that shows off the classic side-scrolling action that is the be included with the game.
I’m guilty of buying a Wii and pretty much never playing it again after I finished Zelda and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. However, I think Super Mario Galaxy 2 may give me reason to blow dust off the Wii and pick it up on May 23rd, 2010.
When you think Nintendo, what is the first game you think of? For me, it’s Nintendo. But that’s probably just because I grew up playing Super Mario Bros. for the SNES. But anyways, Mario’s latest adventure Super Mario Galaxy 2 has just gotten a release date and that is May 23rd.
Looking for a more tradition approach to the Mario series than Super Mario Galaxy 2? Well, look no further as New Super Mario Bros. Wii is exactly the game for you.
Also introduced yesterday during Nintendo’s E3 conference New Super Mario Bros. Wii will pit you and up to 3 other friends against levels similar to that found in the Super Mario Bros. games you grew up playing.
What more else is there to say? Is there a soul alive that doesn’t love playing the classic side scrolling Super Mario Bros. featured on the SNES? New Super Mario Bros. Wii is sure to be a hit when it drops this holiday season.
