Some more info and screens on New Super Mario Brothers

There is a bunch of new stuff for the NSMB and here it is.
-Nintendo stated that there will be no Flying Power-up so that means no wing cap, Cape or Racoon folks.
-You might think that NP issue with the interview is 100% Correct your wrong.
Yoshi will appear but NOT in normal gameplay.
-There will be a star system
-There will be 3 special coins in each level
-There will be Multiple Paths to take much like in Super Mario world.
-Mini-games will be in it aswell as the SM64DS ones.
-There will be a overworld sorta like a Mario party Board game and there appears to be Shops to go to (minigame buyings?)


Also there will be Plains, Desert, Tropical Island, Forest, Ice, Mountains, Sky and Bowser's Lair worlds like in SMB3.

Discuss, so far so good, but lack of Yoshi and flying items=SUCK SUCK SUCK. Though the overworld looks nice, even though I don't really like Mario Party. I'm glad Mario's finally getting a new platformer for once, though I'd like flying items though, but it's not a huge big deal.

I must have this game when it comes out. That's a lot of stuff to do besides just going through the levels.

So far it sounds like a hybrid of 2-D and 3-D mario. Which is actually pretty cool.

Simply amazing. What a throw back.

The only thing that I don't like is the lack of flying, Yoshi, and that ugly world map.

Looking at that map, there seems to be 17 stops in that first world.

The Good

-2D Mario
-8 Worlds
-Branching paths
-Multiplayer
-Mini Games
-Vibrant

The Bad

-No flying items or Yoshi
-The new visuals are good, but I still prefer the sprites.

The Ugly

-The hideous overworld map. As Thunderslf suggested, it truly looks like it was ripped from Mario Party.

The world themes sound fun, but is there going to be a water world? I would definitley prefer that to "Tropical Island" or "Mountains".

I also wish NSMB would bring some old powerups, such as the frog and hammer bros suit into the mix, but it doesn't seem likely. The lack of flying capability is a true downer, though. Flight added so much to SMB3 and SMW. Tons of secrets and exploration is lost with this decision . . . all for what? User-friendliness?

Don't worry, there will be water levels. And that carnivorous git Boss Bass returns.

I really wanted to see Cape Mario in 3D-ish graphics, but I suppose it's just not meant to be... ah well, should be interesting to see how it turns out.

I am glad it isn't having flying or Yoshi.

Not that I hate those things, but this game has been billed as Mario going back to his roots, which had no flying or Yoshi.

If we're being really specific about it, it shouldn't have wall jumps or uber-mushrooms either. Flying would have rocked, but it's just something we'll have to do without.

That's got to be the most ridiculous thing I've heard regarding this game. You're reasoning is correct, yet makes no sense. Nintendo wants NSMB to be casual gamer friendly, but if you're posting on a message board, you are not a casual gamer. Why would you not want gameplay elements that we already know work flawlessly and add a great deal of depth and replay value?

Instead of taking Mario back to his "roots", why not take him back to his prime? As in modeling it off of the far more playable and interesting SMB3 and SMW?

And if you want to get real technical, as Azred Ferla already brought up, the original Super Mario Bros did not have mini-me or super-size me mushrooms, either.

Does anyone knoe how many levels there are per world because i'm starting to consider getting this one

The board style wasn't ripped of Mario Party...Its just a new 3d look to Super Mario Land 2s world(Yeah I still have the game)...So I think Mario Party ripped its board style off Mario Land 2 and now it seems that NSMB is ripping it off MP...This seems like a must buy and there is going to be a Yoshi... Just not in Normal Gameplay...So special gameplay like secret levels, mini games....Or maybe theres gonna be cutscenes in the game!(that would be awesome)

Also the lack of Flying objects doesn't bother me...there wasnt any in super mario land and I still beat it...But there was supersize..

Aww, goddamit, I was hoping to ride Yoshi and use the raccoon/tanuki item again. Dam, now the only real special thing in it I'm looking forward to is the multiplayer.
