Am I remembering wrong or does nsmbu have a quick save option? I could swear it does.

Probably didnt want a similar color scheme to peach which might cause confusion.

Artifacts, eh? Probably not your component output. Sounds like your Wii's GPU is fried. Happened to my first Wii. Thing gets too hot with WiiConnect24 on. It starts off like this:
And eventually turns to this:
Yeah that's exactly what's happening. Oddly enough, it doesn't occur with the composite output, only component. It's a well known issue apparently. It's a good enough excuse to buy a Wii U as a replacement anyway
. Having Mario Galaxy and 3D World playable on the same console won't be such a bad thingI'm honestly not a big fan of autosaves. They are good for some games, but a lot of the time I want to have control over my save files. I like being able to quit and revert to a previous save. I don't trust any autosave games and usually manually save before I quit anyway. It feels weird not to.

Ah, my damn Wii does that, too. It sucks ass but I don't notice it so much on brighter games.
On topic: This game looks absolutely amazing.

I like the art direction of the para-dry-bones, specifically the eyes. It feels like some of the earlier 3D Mario art direction lost its creepy surreal qualities (like the eels from Mario 64 or the piano) in the transition to a more fully realized cartoon world, but the para-dry-bones bring some of that out. And I hope to see more of that come out.
I'm also wishing there's a rain level like the original Donkey Kong Country's Northern Hemispheres. It starts calm, then drizzles, and then rains, and then ends in torrential downpour.
Everything is still too square though.

Erm, I don't know where you got that info from, but it's wrong

Is yours a launch wii?
The quick save in NSMBU allows you to save anywhere, but as soon as you load that save file the save is deleted. This means you can't use quick saves as a safety net and keep reloading.
I consider them one of the best developers of all time (along with Naughty Dog.) They never disappoint.

Ok, this game looks amazing and varied, but I don't think it's very ambitious. Galaxy and 3DLand were probably more ambitious. I think Nintendo is kinda playing it safe by releasing a 3DL sequel over a bigger 3D Mario game.

It's the best development studio in the history of gaming. No surprises there.

I don't quite understand how it works, but I thought you could only save after towers? This isn't really the place to discuss this though, so I'll take it to the NSMBU community.
I'm still exploring the ins and outs of my Wii U

Yes. However, only if you live in 2005 and the 360 just launched. When all developers could do was to hide bad looking games behind out of place glitter effects...
But seriously, the art direction is an insult to the whole series before NSMBW.
Cut Mario and goombas out of the pictures and you might as well tell people it's the next Pacman platformer no one's going to remember, or Jett Rocket 2 - there wouldn't be any objections, it's that unremarkable. No ambition, no soul in this game's presentation. First mainline Mario that screams nothing but MARKET RESEARCH.
Hopefully they'll give the Tokyo team more freedom on the next project that has nothing to do with Mario anymore...
Lol. Is my sarcasm meter broken? Please tell me yes.
Sorry, I don't see the lack of liveliness here.

For the longest time I couldn't tell if those particle effects were billboards or were actually lighted meshes. This screenshots suggests the latter; you can see it clipping on the ground-pound smoke.
everything looks so good @___@

Those are some powerful farting skills from Peach. She knocked out that mouse and Goomba.

4 simultaneous and distinct playable characters in a 3D Mario: Meh.
lens flare, glow, and water effects: Take my money!

Agreed. Looks like they're doing what they can within the 3DL framework, but it's still a self-imposed limitation. "Ambition" isn't the first thing I think of. "Polish" or "refinement" are more apt.
What about every other things I listed to support the ambition claim, that have nothing to do with the refinement of the 3D Land fixed isometric camera view?
3D Land has a really good framework, but the levels in the game are small in scope. The game in general is kinda small in scope. Great game, but it would've been a bummer if Nintendo stopped that style of 3D Mario right then and there.
So to see it flesh out to this extent is pretty exciting!

The visuals in this game are what I have dreamed of seeing in all my years of gaming. I look at these screen shots and can't help but smile.
The quick-save in New Super Mario Bro.s U allows you to save, quit and then return to that same place in the map. When you return the quick-save is deleted. You can only save after a tower/castle. It kinda sucks, but considering that the New series was a "rebirth" of sorts of the original ,on which you couldn't save at all; I guess it was made that way to force people to continue playing.
Is not a limitation of the Wii U, but a design choice. It also varies by game, has nothing to do with the Wii U. The Wii U per se can hold as many quick saves as needed.

The screenshots are like candy. I can't believe I was lukewarm on this game when it was first revealed.
