Looks much better than the 3ds one. Hopefully it is.

So is value, I suppose. I have fatigue for this series. I'm not seriously going to come into the thread and go "I wish this game was something else" but realistically I would feel a lot more comfortable swallowing these games if there was a bit more creative vision to the presentation. Great for you if you can see past all the presentation and just see hit boxes and vectors and pure fun but I expect more from Nintendo and their hardware I suppose.

Looks amazing.
I'm playing NSMB2 at the moment and it's so safe and dull. This looks like a fucking beast of a game.

Looks pretty good, but I really hate the direction Nintendo is going with sound design. Everything used to be so 'punchy'. Like Yoshi's flutter jump, it used to sound like the perfect abstraction of expended energy (before Yoshi had a voice, blech), now is just sounds floppy.
Guess that's a good way to describe all of Nintendo's sound effects lately, everything used to sound so crisp and delicious, now it's all floppy.
And I LOATHE the New Super Mario Bros and 3D Land music.
Still fun games, though, so bah.

I can't stop watching these videos, launch day can't come soon enough. I seriously can't wait to see footage for the first wii u Metroid game, and goddamnit there better be a better star fox this generation. Also, does anyone else think $60 for Nintendoland is way too overpriced? I wasn't one of the fortunate to get a deluxe reserve.

Can anyone post screens? I am using a mobile, so can't watch the video.
Is that allowed?

Nooooooooo! Put "Bah bah" in 3D Mario and give 2D Mario orchestra.
EAD Tokyo, we need you! How about doing one 2D Mario, pwease. T_T Let the NSMB 2 crew handle level designs, just make our game look and sound purty.

I dunno, to me this looks a lot better than any of the previous New Super Mario Bros. The environments look different and varied, and the level set-ups look intriguing. I wasn't at all interested in what New Super Mario Bros. 2 brought to the table, but this looks different enough that if I ever get a Wii U I'd pick it up.

Looks great to me, love me those backgrounds. The only thing that bothers me in the trailer is it looks 1-up heavy still, though I suppose that won't ever change.
But more importantly, an avatar quote!
Feels so standard, so plastic. Right down to the way they clap when you do something good.
I feel like this is actually the least consistent NSMB game yet. Maybe of all mainline Mario games..
Yes. That's why they release it, they hope we will judge it to be good and buy the game.
But more importantly, an avatar quote!
Yeah I know it's not but I couldn't resist.

Spiritual successor definitely. It takes quite a few of the design themes from it, and gives it a more modern coating.
I don't know when I'll get myself a WiiU, but this is definitely one of the games I be getting for it.

Well I don't have much to add here, it looks like Mario, that's fine by me.
Squirrel Suit seems to allow a wall cling, I think i'm going to like this suit a lot.

this trailer is not as impressive as the last one but I'm still hyped for this game

Hah!
THANK YOU! I don't care if I can't see the 60 fps on YouTube, I'm just glad to be able to see the new levels and such -- I wasn't getting anywhere trying to get GI's site to work!
I dunno, the level design doesn't look that simple. I'd say it's more of a sequel to NSMBWii.

QUESTION:
does anyone know if the enemies dance while walking along the screen?
that is one thing that is pretty unbearable about the "New" series

Let me further illustrate my point.
Its the same animation. Could easily be from the same game.
As I said earlier, I'll play this and enjoy it - as I just did with New Super Mario Bros. 2. But I don't understand how such a visually derivative game can be called fresh.

Disagree so much. It may have the same general style as older NSMB games, but the graphics are incredibly improved. So many layers of parallax in the backgrounds, which so far look wildly more epic in scope than previous games. The cave background in particular looked unimpressive in still shots, but in that trailer it looks magnificent. I dunno, I see a lot of creativity in this games style, even if it's more iterative than absolutely brand new.
Still, opinions and all.

Visually yeah. Definitely. Interesting, but inconsistent backdrops too.
Won't know until I play it if it has soul where it counts though.

I dont see the point. The way you jump on a koopa and its just the shell is pretty much the same in every mario game.Thats what I see you getting to I guess but still opinions overrule all because what I think as fresh may not be fresh to you. You picked probably the most miniscule thing to deviate the game from being fresh.Let me further illustrate my point.

No wait.
I'm amending that.
The backgrounds are what the art style should be trying to emulate.

Increased parallax scrolling to detract from the soulless, Fisher-Price art design and the plastic, vapid sound design.
Looks like it'll be a fun game though, just not something I'm in a rush to lay $410 bucks for.

I don't get the hate or the complaints about how NSMBWii is somehow inferior to this or SMW...

Seriously. I want this in HD. Though the main reason NSMBU has made it to launch is probably because of its simple artstyle. Still, I want a NSMB with Galaxy graphics in HD. Is that too much to ask?

God that looks so much better than the "New" crap. Totally agree about the orchestral music.
