    @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.
