New Super Mario Bros. 2

[Gaia]

It's been a fucking WHILE since I've seen Wart, and he pretty much established most of the Mario Universe for us (Shy Guys, Bob-Ombs, etc.) and Waluigi will be his second in command. I hated the fact that the final boss was nothing more then a dream, or we could bring back the ORIGIONAL cast from Doki Doki Panic, Mario wouldn't got his all-round stats if it weren't for them!

What would make an awesome Koopa Kids experience for me is if you fought all of them in ONE castle as like a series of bosses, and each one got harder and harder. I doubt that will happen though.

What I'm hoping for is that they at least make them fight in a new way, but the screenshot doesn't really reinforce that. HOWEVER, it is just one screenshot, and they don't necessarily want to give too much away right away, so here's hoping. Another thing I'm afraid of though is Reznor ending up being the same miniboss in each world. That gets a bit boring too.

all the absurd, blind fanboyism on this thread...

You mean all the clear criticism for the past 2 pages?

you mean the

"oh so they are basically reusing everything they used in the previous games of the series(let alone from older games) including powerups, mechanics, level desings and characters and added minor gimmicks and edits to their propierties so they would basically do the exact same thing but with a small, insignificant change with barely any improvement or diference at all so it would not look as if we didn't change/added anything at all

its not like its a sonic game where if they ever tried to reuse concepts from previous games whiles reusing previous character desings and level desings we would literally say they're done and they cant do shit to improve or show new content while we basically burn them alive for doing so.

but its a mario game and we love mario for being mario, as long as they give me a mario i can basically play the same exact game for the sake of it being mario and <insert secondary nonmario character>"

A game about collecting golden coins and no Wario?

Come on Nintendo! No Wario, no buy.

I love how Nintendo missed a perfect opportunity to create a Wario Bros. game.

Waluigi will be forever spin-off material

Waluigi will be forever spin-off material

Why do I know this to be true while still hoping that it isn't

[Cobalt Blue]

a shame, but it is.

whatever desing choices were posibly done to not consider Wario and Waluigi to not be the 3rd and 4th player are basically dumb.

Nintendo, kings of wasted potential.

To be honest I think that they either 1) didn't actually think about it or 2) figured that Wario is too fat to jump high enough. Even so, I agree, that would have been an infinitely awesome feature.

Well, if all players are Miis, P3 and P4 wear Wario and Waluigi's overalls respectively.
I think it's BS that all players are 'Marios' (they chose Toads, since they better fit that profile for some reason). Like I mentioned somewhere back in this topic, a different playstyle adds to a game like Knuckles in Sonic 3. Something as simple as some paths being harder and some easier to take as someone else makes a level more interesting to revisit, let alone character specific paths.

[Koopaul]

It's not that hard to imagine Wario and Waluigi playing the same as Mario and Luigi.

[puggsoy]

Holy crud Wario jumps high. I was just basing my theory off Wario Land 4.

[Cobalt Blue]

because anatomy issues are part of a mario game.

[Mutsukki]

I honestly think Wario and Waluigi wouldn't fit on the game. But then again we had Wario on Super Mario 64 DS, so idk, I guess Nintendo can make it work if they want, it's just that it's strange to picture the Wario Bros running alongside the Mario Bros to save the princess, they're not the "nice guys".

Also this reminds me of this picture that I really want to be true one day, but probably won't ):

[Koopaul]

That's why that whole competing for coins thing would have been a perfect way to introduce them.

Wario will do anything for money. Even help Mario save the princess.
