New Super Mario Bros. 2 Ditching Wii for 3DS

[SanguineSymphony]

NSMB was originally a DS title... If they were making a sequel to NSMBW it would probably have been called NSMBW 2.

There's not much details on New Super Mario Bros. 2 except that it follows on the heels of the recent side-scrolling platforming reboot on the Wii.

Sorry, but I don't think this is accurate. The game New Super Mario Bros. was a game for the original DS released in 2006. The Wii version, New Super Mario Bros. Wii was released in 2009 but isn't the reboot you seem to think it is.

Indeed; I also think it's hilarious how Greg thinks its move to the 3DS is solely to move systems...when in fact the 3DS has consistently been the #1 selling system worldwide for MONTHS now. NSMB2 is indeed going to help the 3DS sell, but it's not like it needed much help in the first place what with 3D Land and Mario Kart 7.

Anyway, can't wait to get a hold of this in August. Tanuki suits are always welcome and I really want to see what the level design will be like. Also looking forward to the Kirby compilation

Unfortunately, Greg has a bit of a history of twisting facts in order to support conclusions. Which is a large part of the reason I no longer have a publisher club membership...

Somehow, I doubt this article will ever see a correction or retraction. Which sorta flies in the face of the whole concept of Professional Journalism.

Professional Journalism as a whole is in Decline. For video games it doesn't even exist yet (possibly never).

As people have already pointed out, New Super Mario Bros. was a DS title first. The Wii game was basically a spin-off from that.

So maybe we'll get a New Super Mario Bros. Wii U in a couple of years.

Glad I brought a lovely Pink 3DS Sunday.

Now, I wonder if this game might have any context with The Lost Levels? Doubtful, but it's something the gaming industry needs desperately. We need an insanely hard platformer!

It's only unfortunate that you can't bold it enough so that the industry understands it>
I remember the joy of winning a game on "Nintendo Hard" difficulty.
Now... meh, every single game I've played.

I loved the New SMB Wii, jet it was to easy. I was thinking about softmoding my Wii so that I could download the edited versions which are Nintendo hard, tho I decided no to risk bricking my console. (to random people who will flame me to death, I have bought the game, I have bought the Wii, what I want to download is a user remake of the game I have, it's not piracy)

I Wanna be The Guy or Super Meat Boy not challenging enough?

Also you should watch those Asshole Mario editions of SMW (2 Especially). I am not sure if you'd really like those games as much you'd think. Either way its pretty hard to brick your wii... I am not even sure how you could mess up the softmod that badly.

I don't recall anything about NSMB 2 being on Wii...? All I remember was the WiiU tech demo that used Miis and the announcement of NSMB2 was only ever for 3DS? Did I miss something?
