Nintendo has been making a big push to emphasize the multiplayer potential of the Wii U, but players are welcome to explore the Mushroom Kingdom on their own in New Super Mario Bros. U. Free from the shackles of his gangly brother Luigi and the Toads, Mario has nobody to push him off a ledge or refuse to pop his bubble in this newly released video. Watch the trailer below to see new environments, the mini mushroom, and some of Yoshi's new abilities in action.

NSMBU has to be one of the best looking games I've ever seen. It's simply gorgeous! And I cannot wait to pick this up on launch day.

 

[timetokill]

Looks fantastic! Can't wait.

 

[chubigans]

I hate the music...so much...

Looks nice and crisp though.

can't stop rewatching

halp

 

[Oni Link 666]

Looks pretty cool.

 

[V_Ben]

It looks decent, but its just a bit... sterile. Nintendo has it in them to make games with fantastic visual styles, but this just looks too clean. Very visually unexciting.

I'm sure it'll still be at least fun though.

 

[MicH]

It looks so fresh and colorfull! And thank god for some slight change in music

 

[Shurs]

Sorry, Mario, but only Jesus can walk on water.

 

[Mihael Mello Keehl]

I like the music. Yea I said it!

 

[JAYinHD]

Looking forward to Nov. 18th as each day passes.

 

[Karsticles]

I like the music. Yea I said it!

I like it too.

 

[Gravijah]

are they re-using the airship in the background thing for every boss?

 

[XenodudeX]

BRAWK BRAWK

 

[Ridley327]

Nice that Game Informer uploaded it in 60 fps; it makes a considerable difference.

 

[Penguin]

Looks cool

Lots of neat little moments.. like the sliding bit

 

[brandonh83]

Wow. It looks great.

 

[JasoNsider]

Looking forward to Nov. 18th as each day passes.

Yes, absolutely. What a great game to be playing day 1

I wouldn't use the word "fresh".

Its sharp and colourful. Its also incredibly similar to the rather bland artstyle of the last three New Super Mario Bros. games. The Koopaling battle looks like the exact same animation in fact.

I'm going to play this - and it looks fun, but the artistry and design is about as fresh as Dry Bones taking a dump.

 

[zroid]

Slightly off-topic, but it literally just occurred to me that the Starry Night level with the Boos is a "Van Goghst House"

i can't wait to see what they'll be doing with 3D mario... that's going to look astonishing.

ps: am i the only one who just noticed that mini mario can walk on walls?

pps: HD vibrant colors... finally!

 

[majik13]

any youtube link? GI vids dont play at work

 

[MikeE21286]

I just can't get hyped for it....don't know.

"Boohemoth"
"Van Goghst House"

Nintendo and their fucking boo-related puns.

 

[Exterminieren]

God, those smooth animations. So good.

 

[Anustart]

Looks absolutely insane. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I really like the New! Series of Mario games. I'll never understand the hate.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

Hate the music, otherwise, looks like mario i guess.

:/

 

[hiryu64]

needs more "bah"

it's still a little too "New Super Mario Bros." but damn it that main theme is the best thing to come out of the series since the Sunshine main theme.

 

[The Lamp]

I would use the word "fresh"

Eh, I wouldn't. Same recycled style of music and art. But boy is it pretty.

 

[FSLink]

Read the title as new Super Smash Bros. U trailer and almost had a heart attack.
Still good though, haha. Looks great, definitely picking it up on release.

 

[Lambtron]

Yeah, I'm okay with this.

 

[liger05]

Awesome

 

[metalslimer]

The theme is actually good and the game certainly looks really nice, but there I still see a lot of redone things in the level design.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

The backgrounds are awesome. Everything else looks bland and uninspired.

The beanstalk segment...those assets look so cheap and iOS-gamey.

 

[Like the hat?]

Looks absolutely insane. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I really like the New! Series of Mario games. I'll never understand the hate.

You and me both

 

[la_briola]

any youtube link? GI vids dont play at work

No. Watch it at home for glorious 60fps!

 

[Lambtron]

You and me both

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is like... SMB3/SMW good. The last half of that game is incredible.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

another thing, i really hate the art style, especially of the characters in the nsmb series, it's so bland.

 

[LeleSocho]

Maybe this is the only NSMB that deserves to sell a lot of millions
if only it had a better art style... sigh.

 

[JoeInky]

I don't get what's so bland about the NSMB art style.

The only problem for me is that it has the plasticy shine which they got rid of in NSMB2 but not this game.

Apart from that it's pretty much the same art style that's been in all the SMB games just reimagined in 3D.

 

[Shtof]

Sorry to be a combo breaker, but to me it's not impressive. Looks like the 6 year old DS game with better resolution. After Rayman Origins and now Legends this just looks mediocre.

 

[Drago]

Game is looking fantastic. I can barely wait any longer *_*

The new Baby Yoshi game looks cool :3

 

[Silent_Ocarina]

It looks like a ton of fun.

I really hope the prices of Wii Remote Pluses go down. I only have one Wii Remote Plus and one Wii MotionPlus dongle. I'd really like to upgrade at a reasonable price.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Damn that game keeps looking better and better.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Really dislike the music in the "New Super Mario Bros" series how can the music in the Galaxy series be so much better?

 

[SniperHunter]

Leave it to Nintendo to make a game that puts a smile on your face. How come no on else makes games like this? Looks amazing!

 

[Ushojax]

It looks decent, but its just a bit... sterile. Nintendo has it in them to make games with fantastic visual styles, but this just looks too clean. Very visually unexciting.

I'm sure it'll still be at least fun though.

2D Mario will never have a complex art style, it has to be something that is playable by 5-85 year olds and that prioritizes clear visibility and predictability of character movements over visual bells and whistles. The backgrounds are about as fancy as it's going to get.

Anyway, it looks like a great game.
