laserbeam said:The article does indeed mention bolstering the sales of the Wii with Mario so we can at least confirm its a Wii Game and if its gonna bolster sales it cant be a quick cash in mario by that logic
Simultaneous release for the DS and for WiiWare.Xeke said:Side-scrolling NSMB2 for Wii.
That would be mondo cool.AceBandage said:Done by the animation studio that did Wario Land Shake It.
Cosmonaut X said:Not really. It's perhaps arguable that something like Mario Party, or Mario Kart would do more to bolster Wii sales than a hypothetical SMG2. MP8 was a big success, and Mario Kart was (is) a phenomenon. SMG by comparison sold very well - outselling SMS, and nearly hitting 1 million in Japan - but it didn't seem to drive hardware in the same way, and it's certainly a lower seller than other Mario titles. It's a prestige game, and one that adds to the library, but it doesn't appear to have been a system-seller in the way other titles have been.
laserbeam said:Japan wise Mario party 8 sold maybe an additional 400k over Galaxy. Mario really doesnt have a huge appeal I think compared to other regions so its interesting they intend to boltster weak Wii Sales with Mario.
They must have something they think can be a big hit.

-Super Mario Bros classic playability and design, it is a 2D platformer.
-Is part of the trilogy of Nintendo traditional games that had an hube success in DS and has been ported to DS, Mario Kart and Animal Crossing were the first two, Super Mario Wii is the last one.
Ha that would be funny. It's nice they're adding the ability to go online with your progress. Hopefully they'll have some Motion + exercises.Count Dookkake said:I'm all for another Wii Fit, but I'd rather see a Wario fitness game.
They sure haven't been trying to keep it under wraps seeing as we have known about this for sometime now. Same as Pokemon GS DS . . . oddly enuff no one saw the trade-mark for that one.Door2Dawn said:Yeah but Nintendo hasn't officially announced Wii Fit plus. Biiig difference.
Eating a bunch of shit, farting and belching, how to hoard money, etc.Count Dookkake said:I'm all for another Wii Fit, but I'd rather see a Wario fitness game.
Well, when I last saw them update the Pokemon trademarks they trademarked about 15 colors at once, so people probably thought they were just trademarking everything.Black-Wind said:They sure haven't been trying to keep it under wraps seeing as we have known about this for sometime now.

Tiktaalik said:I hope the new Mario game is NSMB2. Financially that'd make more sense than a Galaxy 2. It boggles my mind that Nintendo still hasn't released a NSMB2 yet.

Nikkei Net said:Nintendo planning a new Wii Fit this Fall.
Nintendo is aiming to announce a new Wii Fit this fall. Making use of network functionalities, you'll be able to compete with distant friends or family members in weighting or health "competitions". The measurement of the weight or the center of gravity will be improved compared to the current version. The second half of the year will also see the release of a new entry in the popular "Mario" game series. Their aim is to support the decelerating sales of the Wii video game console.
Wii Fit is a game that uses the "balance board" to measure your weight or center of gravity, allows you to train your muscles, practice yoga, maintain your balance, exercise your oxygenation, and forge you body. Supported by non-gamers throughout the world, it has sold more than 18 million copies to date.

Supported by non-gamers throughout the world, it has sold more than 18 million copies to date.
The new "Wii Fit Plus" game will now allow you to compare your body weight or health with friends and distant family members, thanks to an added online functionality. Additionally, improved measurement capabilities will allow for a better health control. Special exercises aimed at aged people, and destined to lower their body charge, will also be added.
Due to lack of hit Wii games in the first half of the year, domestic sales of the console have been somehow worsening. Because of the strong feeling that North American sales did reach a peak last year, it has been evocated that there was a demand for new software releases.

AceBandage said:Considering it's STILL charting in most regions, it shouldn't boggle your mind.
Honestly, they'd be more likely to keep cashing in on that while trying something new on Wii.
djblackice said:Rumor:
New Mario game is where Mario is lost in various Nintendo games like a museum of NES games.

What in the world else would you rather it be than a sequel to the greatest 3D platformer ever?
