Reggie can talk all he wants about sales, but I seriously doubt we're going to see people camping out and lines of people standing outside of Best Buy for New Super Mario Wii, lol. #newsupermariobroswii

I'm lucky enough to have a girlfriend who beat Bioshock (on PC) two weeks ago and who's favorite game is Thief 2. We also played through Resident Evil 5 cooperatively on 360. Doesn't get much better than that. #newsupermariobroswii

@Strangelove: Agreed: Lucky! FPS GF would be awesome. I got the wife hooked on PuzzleQuest because she loved Bejewelled, but all that really did was tie up the computer for a few hours.

I'm hoping this fixes that, as we're both looking forward to it. #newsupermariobroswii

I'm so stoked for this game it's unbelievable. Ordered this at the same time as MW2, which was supposed to come at release date (today), but didn't. Hoefully he Mario Bros don't let me down and come a day early, instead of making we wait until Monday! #newsupermariobroswii

@SuperSonik: Too bad you have no way to play online. Really, I don't know what they were thinking when they decided to use the Friend Code system. A multiplayer game without online capabilities? Pass.

Good job with the box though. It stands out. It's good.

@jellotek: Not too many years ago, no multiplayer had online. Besides, as much as I love online, (bought a 360 for this reason), this game would be annoying to play online because of the massive douchefest that would ensue when the random person you're playing against decides to throw you into a pit for teh lulz. This game's much better suited to local multiplayer with friends. #newsupermariobroswii

@Mommar: @Lozmaster: @Foxstar is in love with Kotaku's two Brians.: I don't doubt it will be a big seller. It is also ONE of my most looked forward to games this year. I wouldn't say I'm EXCITED for it but its one of the few I will be getting this year. It can't be much different from NSMBDS but now its 4 player. I played through it on DS once and can't bring myself back to it. Just not that fun. This will probably be the same.

Like I said dumb fun for me and the family?
Yes.

Excited to stay up till 3am with it for the next week?
No.

@Kenology18: Yes sir. Shadowman was very good. I would love an XBLA/PSN release or better yet a full release remake. I'm afraid they would ruin it though cause it came from the era of little to no hints and tons of exploration. I mean, the only map you had was a paper copy that came in the box.

@ShaggE wants to join the Egg Council.: I'm not sure if you can really call this a 2D game though. It's not a pure 2D gaming platformer because it features a lot of 3D elements in it. However, it is nice to see games like this because it shows us how games would have progressed if full 3D gaming hadn't come along. I personally think that 2D gaming had a lot more potential than we ever saw back in on the NES, SNES and Genesis. Just look at some of the 2D games that are available now. They look incredibly detailed and fluid in action.

If you want my honest opinion. I think most 2D games have better art direction than these photo-realistic FPS games that are available. I'll take style of anything else. I also think games that attempt unique visual styles this generation tend to look better than games with so called "Superior graphics". HD+Photo realism doesn't equal better graphics. This reason alone is why I think Mirror's Edge is the most beautiful game to come out so far this generation. The game was absolutely beautiful in every sense of the word.

I like how it says "Up to 4 players!" on the front like that is impressive by today's multiplayer gaming standards, even by the Wii's own.

No thanks, Nintendo. #newsupermariobroswii

@Techno-Atom: I played it at E3. It was annoying as shit to have everyone jumping around on everyone's head and fucking up the flow of the platforming.

I guess that's half the point, but the "competitive/cooperative" nature of the game just pissed me off.

Old school Mario of any kind just isn't my thing, I guess. To each his own. #newsupermariobroswii

@Scorpi: Hmm. Your L4D case is one I did not consider. That game is awesome, for sure. Then again, I feel the sheer nature of it is different. There is, albeit small, narrative thread to go along with L4D's decision.

Nintendo didn't even use existing side characters to aid Mario and Luigi or even name the new ones. That's just poor taste, in my opinion. #newsupermariobroswii

There's no way to win here unless you get a white case, and custom insert artwork that's white instead of red :(
