That looks like shit compared to this:
Or what about Wario Land?
I think both would be better suited than a Rayman Origins-like style.
Its like, pure bliss. This is what I imagined games to look like in the future when I was a kid.

Sorry, I meant the mario glaxy2 style, you where disappointed that it looked the same, so the question, how would you have changed that? I personally thought it looks fine, and didn't want a new style. there where so much stuff they could have added to galaxy 1 so I was glad they did a new one and implemented a ton of new game play stuff. a difference in style would have made it a different game then a galaxy sequel.

Looks like another NSMB game.
Which is fine, obviously, because NSMB Wii was fantastic.

The Wii U NEEDS a 3D Mario just like Galaxy at launch.
Come on Nintendo...

The 2D ones sell more, and we know about it already. I think we'll be waiting for a 3D Mario.. but we'll see for sure on Tuesday.
Not with a 2D Mario locked in at launch
I cant wait to see a 3D HD Mario though
Oh, you meant Galaxy 2? Actually, that's a much tougher one to tackle. I mean, the graphics themselves were absolutely fine, really the best on the system by any measure imo. I just thought it was way too similar.
Actually, in Galaxy's case, I probably would have been more satisfied if there was a change in venue and physics as opposed to the graphics, to be honest.

Well, a mario game like this will be faar easier to make. So now they CAN have a super mario game at launch (it will probably be fun to play in online co-op, maybe with Mii's, god forbid). The more 3D amazing Mario come will come in the coming years.
Ahh fair point! I agree that it should have had more variety in its locations and gameplay concepts. Its a sequel but it indeed felt more as a galaxy 1.5 then a 2.
I apologize for the retarded comment, that was premature

Holy fuck, no! NSMB is a series of precision platformers, just like all the previous 2D mario games. The engine, the perspective, the controls and the admittedly somewhat crude art style were clearly created with that in mind.
Does this mean that the games couldn't work with any other art style? Of course not. That canned 2D Kirby is an excellent example of a more pleasing, but still clean art style that could work for a precision platformer (even Braid went for visual clarity over clutter despite the beautiful painterly look). And I would have loved for Nintendo to have a bolder, more original creative vision for the series. But Rayman Origins? Are you kidding me? I mean, I kinda like the game, but it's so far from what I want Mario to be. There's no reason why the 2D Mario series should sacrifice visual clarity, precision controls and platforming for such an overly busy look, excessive visual gimmickry and imprecise physics and laggy controls.

so instead of pointing out that this game (if its not a prototype that is) might be the ONLY launch title that has full Nintendo Network (and miiverse) integration with possible online coop and continuous full worlds DLC, level maker that can be shared, possibly speed runs and tournaments between players, which would make it a true evolution for the SMB franchise...
people are arguing about the Artstyle ??

That looks like shit compared to this:
I think this looks a bit bland, if I'm honest.
But that's the best bit. A world without dancing is a world I don't want to live in.
Because NSMBW was a good game so people are assuming this will be good (which is the opposite of how people felt when NSMBW was first announced ho ho ho)
Well Animal Crossing was first shown in the early images of the Wii Message Board (it's even in the manual) and yet it took quite a few years for that game to be announced.
I like the song now. Maybe after listening to it 2381 times it grew on me.
A non HD steam doesn't look HD gee I wonder why...
They should go crazy with the scrolling for the hell of it? Guess real life looks like a still photo to you.
In some ways it good for Nintendo to show that it is ok to release non AAA budget games on the WiiU. Then again Nintendo is in the blessed position to do well of non AAA games.
Because you can't tell where the foreground and background is?
Probably why the Mountain Cliffs world was my favourite in NSMBW since it wasn't a typical world theme.
NSMB3DS will be available as a downloadable title as well as retail. The price however won't be cheaper as a result so brick and mortar stores can still compete.
A new fucking? A fucking of what? The buttocks?
Holy smokes, they flipped the coin meters! NINTENDO DOES IT AGAIN!quick comparison, must stress Wii game is direct Feed from Dolphin, Ive reduced the size of both shots to try to level it out.
Nope. It was the one thing I wanted to mention. Surprised hardly anyone else pointed it out either.
I know NSMBW showed some graphical improvement between announcement and launch but I wouldn't put too much hope in this department.
Going to need a lot of coffee for this guy.
That Wiggler is so tsundere.If they made a 2D game that used the old art assets like this:
I'd be highly satisfied.
I don't even know what this word means anymore.

Plasticky.
The background is nice, and I'm digging the Mario World approach (I didn't like the disconnectedness of Mario Galaxy 2 and to a lesser extent NSMBWii), but the foreground basically looks exactly the same as Super Mario All-Stars, which appeared on the SNES almost 20 years old now. In fact, that game had sprites for characters and is thus more charming.
Basically, if this doesn't come boxed-in for free I don't want it.
(also though NSMBWii was total meh)

Really? I haven't played it single-player but I go through it with friends a lot and have a blast. Do you dislike it in single and multi? If so, why? I thought the level design was fantastic.

It may be packed in
And its 2d because it may have a level editor. Content sharing anyone
Perfect pack in just because of that.
Could you imagine recreating every Super Mario World level?
Or every Super Mario Land level?
The possibilities of a level editor on a 2d marios are nearly endless

That looks like shit compared to this:
Which Kirby game is this?
Well they did talk about "transmiting game content they have created themselves which can then be added to other's gameplay". And DLC... Well Nintendo certainly will explore that area. Mario platformer could be the next step on that line.
EDIT: ^ That Kirby game is one of those three cancelled Kirby games they showed a while ago.
I tried to play it with my wife, but the difference in competence was way too high, which made it a pretty frustrating ideal for her as she was dead ninety percent of the time (and to a lesser extent for me as she was agitated and was keeping me back). As a single player experience I was annoyed by the floatyness of the controls (felt more like Sonic than Mario to me) and the overall lack of imagination. It was still a really decent game, but a far cry from the Galaxies.
Hmm I missed that. That would make it a lot more interesting, but it seems at odds to what SMB has historically been for nintendo, i.e. a higly polished, perfectly tweaked, pick up and play playground experience.

That's fair enough and an interesting point to raise. I play with people who are basically on a par with me skill-wise and it flows quite nicely.
One annoying thing is that when one player dies the game freezes for a second, which can totally screw up your timing.
A cancelled Kirby Wii game (based on the fact that it's a widescreen screenshot, it's probably from 2008/2009):

Wait, that really nice looking 2D looking Kirby was for the WII?!
A level creator isn't out of the question I think. If they are willing to compete with say LBP... would shoot up to one of my most anticipated list, if they ended up taking that direction with the series.

Man, that would be awesome! I've been wondering if we will ever see a spritebased Super Mario Bros game again.
When it comes to artstyle: 80's/early 90's Mario >>>> newer Mario.
It doesn't have an official title yet does it?

It's not offensively bland anymore, with the more watercolored and fuller backgrounds. But it still isn't a very beautiful game though. They should finish what they've started, and give the whole game a full make over.
Could still be! I don't think this game (if it actually exists and isn't a proof of concept) actually has a 100% confirmed name.
Anyway, it's a subtle change, but everything looks more improved and nicer. As a showcase for a truly "out there" artstyle it falls way short, but the main Mario titles really haven't been about pushing the art past a nice, clear, solid-looking platformer that everyone can approach. It would be awesome if they fully recreated Yoshi's Island style in 2.5D HD vision, but I guess we have the spinoff and lower tier franchises to scratch that art itch for us, and I'm okay with that!
The most important thing will be how fun it is. And they may have been overloading us with Mario platformers over the last 6 years, but by gum, each one has been more blissfully fun than the last and going from strength to strength, so this will hopefully continue that trend. If they get online multiplayer in as a choice alongside the riotous local co-op mode, this will be one hell of a launch game.

I wonder if wii U games will run at a native 1080p, or it will be mostly 720p titles...
Well if they do include a level creator I hope they go for the straight forward approach and allow us to basically drag and drop things on the touch screen. No need for a fancy build while playing approach of LBP.

That could be amazing. I just wonder if Mario would be the game for Nintendo to jump in on user created content considering how consistently high their level design is in 2D Mario.
Edit: and 3D for that matter!
It's the most logical explanation given the poor graphics, and it would be strange releasing two different games of the New series in a matter of months, but we didn't see the P-Meter yesterday... Maybe it only appears if you're tanooki Mario.
Ahh, you have a point on the p meter not being there.
Sure is going to be interesting to find out exactly what game this is.

2D art is so charming, I wish that one day we will be getting a real 2d Mario on the big screen again.
Well they cod take the WarioWare DIY approach and have a judging panel. NSMB is an ideal game for user made levels due to its simple grid based graphics.
Oh God it's NSMB -> NSMBW all over again!
