Remember watching your friends play the game on the NES? Imagine being able to join in, with a scaling screen. It's like four swords, but with 2D Mario!

The New Super Mario Bros. Wii will be available this Holiday season.

New Super Mario Bros for Wii has just been unveiled at the Nintendo E3 keynote, and it’s a magnificent retro mutation of a game. There’s the instantly recognisable sidescrolling look of the old Super Mario Bros, but with a 3D styling and 4 player mayhem thrown in for good measure.

Super Mario Bros for WiiYou can pick up other players in New Super Mario Bros to help or hinder them and bounce of enemies, and there’s a new power up, the Propeller Suit, which will see you zooming up in the air with a flick of the Wiimote. It’s competitive though - you race to get hold of the flag at the end, and anyone who grabs it three seconds after the first player gets bonus points too.

You’ll be able to get hold of New Super Mario Bros for Wii for yourself this Christmas, but you’ll have to get up early to beat us to the front of that queue.

^ == W00H00!! I NEED A Wii! Mario in widescreen + it's also got YOSHI!!

Now NiSh turns to buy Wii.!

Uh no, I still think it's way too expensive, especially if buying from India. Importing it would cost customs due to it being above $200. Anyway, any gamimg system above 10,000 INR is a no-no for me.

Too bad even i can't afford a Wii.

It's surprising to see how big the overworld looks. Wonder what it'll look like in Wii2 (Which, I guess, is pretty much safe to assume as having HD).

Any more updates on this game..?

Soon the Handhelds will cross 10000. Then what will you do?
My DS was in 9999 (Console+Case+Tag+Mario Holder+Extra Stylus) + 1000(For New Super Mario Bros).
So sort of it is going over the head.

You got all of that for 10k? o_O

10999 to be exact, some sort of holiday offer.

Um, thats pretty pricey, I got mine for something like 2999 less than yours plus diamond...um...

The casie in itself is quite costly.
+ The Mario case. (Sadly I broke it).

Why will you want to know?
btw Someone sat on it.

Ummm, trying my best not to laugh at that one. Oh nothing just curious

Maybe a someone certain Prongs sat on it?
