    Holy crap!

    This article is posted from tomorrow! Tell me is the future really as bleak as they say it is going to be? What is the winning lotto number? Is One Direction finally dead? PLEASE TELL ME THEY ARE DEAD OH GREAT FUTURE POSTING AUSTRALIAN MAN!

    • Royspaceghost

      Time zones, that’s all I’m sayin’.

    • Big E

      That’s the joke. YOU RUINED THE SURPRISE!

    • Tails the Foxhound

      I think it’s safe to say our resident time traveler ruined the surprise first.

      One direction is finally dead? YEAH! All boybands die of soon, the Backstreet boys, Jonas Bros. You did ruin the surprise to all of those 12 year old fangirls. ;)

      One Direction weren’t cheesey until the US ruined them… We mostly took them seriously in the UK but Nickelodeon and US agents have milked them and made them into a kids band – doesn’t mean their music is bad though.

      What makes you beutiful is too overated. I would rather listen to Another world by 1d then that song. Every song by 1D is decent except What makes you beutiful. Overated.

    • Total911

      I am actually from the future. However I didn’t actually travel but rather I’m from the future relative to your self that posted this comment. 3 Days in the future, in fact. Now I’m 4. Or am I?

  • Bewoulf2000

    Hmm. It seems to me that the New super mario titles seem to conciede with some of the orginal titles. The first New super mario bros. seemed like the orgianl, testing out mario himself and seeing what they could do. The wii seemed like the lost levels, it seemed to do some upgrade to the system and added a lot of challenges and other goodies. New super mario bros 2 seems like super mario bros 3, returning with the raccoon tail and also making many changes for the better. This one seems to be like super mario world because of returning enimes and yoshis beening an actual use other than just 1 level. Just speculation though.

    • DonnyKD

      NSMB2 felt more like Lost Levels than NSMBW did.

  • Hybrilynx

    enemies should have never retired in the first place. anyway, i love picture 4. to me its really beautiful art.

  • csaw

    Who care s about the enemy. More importantly yoshi’s confirmed and not just as a balloon this time. I wonder if you’ll be able to take him out of the level like in super mario world.

    • Exclusive Content

      Playable yoshi Awesome. I was getting worried; Here’s another thing to think about
      will the alternate colored yoshi’s with powers return? Like the bubble one except adult

    • DonnyKD

      Probably not. Baby Yoshis don’t grow up, so multicolored Adult Yoshis will prolly just be alternate colors for when you play 2-4 player mode.

    • Pyroblock

      um…. how would you know? if you eat enough fruit in smw they grew up, i think they will do the same in this game

    • DonnyKD

      Yeah, they don’t.

      Its been reported in E3 demos that, no, that isn’t the case. Baby Yoshis don’t grow up, they’re Baby Yoshis all the time.

    • ABEzilla116

      It was an E3 demo. Loads could change from then and now. There’s also a possibility that the E3 demo was an early build of the game.

    • Tails the Foxhound

      So I wonder if you can ride a Yoshi with a Baby Yoshi in hand? Yoshception?

    YESSSSS TORPEDO TED

  • jdub

    Water bullet bill… weird

    • Speed

      They’re called Torpedo Teds :)

  • Speed

    So Monty Moles jump out of the side of the cliff now…interesting.

    • ultrakirby64

      They did that in World.

  • rom

    OMG TORPEDO TED! SODA LAKE! MICKEY MOUSE HANDS!

  • JWHO

    This should just be called New Super Mario World :)!!!

  • http://www.something.com/ TechTris

    The game looks awesome.

  • MJO1450

    TORPEDO TED?! HOLY BECHICKENS YES

  • Zack

    Wonder what those holes in the platform on the last screenshot are. They look Monty-Mole shaped.

    • http://www.facebook.com/chris.parlamas Chris Parlamas

      The one screenshot clearly shows that it is Monty Mole.

    • http://www.facebook.com/chris.parlamas Chris Parlamas

      The moles are on top of the platform.

    • Zack

      Not the moles, the holes… as in, the big-ass holes on the SIDE of the platform.

    • http://www.facebook.com/chris.parlamas Chris Parlamas

      Those are from the Moles. Have you played Super Mario World?

    • dubYA 8

      If he has, he’s having trouble remembering it.

  • Exclusive Content

    Whats with the health meter over yoshi?

    • Gamer Blue

      I’m assuming it’s the number of apples you need to get a power-up. If you eat 5, at least in previous games, an item would pop out. And as you can see, there are 5 red sections, so this is probably what it is.

    • Hybrilynx

      looks like after yoshi eats 5 times he takes a poo.

  • GalaxyWafles

    Torpedo Ted is back <3

  • YOUR MOM

    Same thing over and over but better graphics

  • Luke

    Every new picture I see make me think that this game should be called “New Super Mario World”

    • anonymous

      Except that it’s not 3D.

    • http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1236473637 Eric ‘Chuckles’ Kotorac

      neither are 3D, but this one is 2.5D and it’ll make the closest thing “new super mario world”

  • luigifrx

    OH MY GOD YAY BABY YOSHI! :D

  • keatman

    IMO it would be cool if they would do something as simple as update the graphics to an extent that it was something that couldnt be done on either 360 or ps3. rayman has shown that unique graphics can increase the appeal of a game that is in itself a fairly simple concept. Lest see some amazing grass in the wind and photorealistic suspenders on mario. Lets see yoshis skin look like real reptile skin and water look AMAZING. Not asking to change the art style but at least make the graphics something that stand out from the competition. Nostalgia is important but they can retain that while still being inovative graphics wise.

    • DonnyKD

      Oh look, another comment that thinks Mario should be “TEH REALISTICS!!!!”

      Screw off.

    • Bill

      That IS asking to change the art style.

    • Hugo

      NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO!!!!!!!!!

  • looter

    am i the only one that thinks they are reusing old enemies instead of coming up with new ones?

    • The Random Man

      That’s because they are reusing enemies. Although, it doesn’t seem to be worth complaining about, unlike some other assets in the recent games.

  • Sergio

    I asked the guy at GameStop and bestbuy when they will take preorders for wii u and he said mid October

    • ultrakirby64

      The one at mine said they would start after the livestream on Thursday.

  • The Random Man

    What does the meter under the coin counter in Pic. #1 mean? Is that a nerf to Boost Mode or something?

    • The Random Man

      Also, there are Miis in the background of the same picture. 0.0

  • Pitlipo

    With every bit of news this game keeps getting better!! I am genuinely excited now. Wasn’t so much when it was first announced.

  • Bob

    This is like when NSMBW was at E3 2009 and then there were lots of improvements by the end of the year.

  • http://www.facebook.com/chris.parlamas Chris Parlamas

    I want Charging Chuck back.

    • Louiejub

      That would be amazing. Charlies really need to come back!

  • Louiejub

    Cool to see good old Torpedo Ted again. Maybe he’ll actually appear in more than ONE level this time.

  • Jceggbert5

    These screenshots make the game look a lot flatter than other NSMB games… The characters and enemies are in the wrong style for this look. They almost need to be 2d papercraft for this to work properly…

  • Seb

    Torpedo Ted? YES! YES!

  • http://www.facebook.com/lilrizky Joshua Rizk

    Everything from Super Mario World looks to be incorporating including the over-world map, baby Yoshi’s and enemies. However, the thing I want brought in from Super Mario World over everything else is the difficulty level. Every Mario game since the Wii has been very easy.

    • ABEzilla116

      Super Mario 3D Land’s later half and Super Mario Galaxy 2 were pretty hard…

    • http://www.facebook.com/chris.parlamas Chris Parlamas

      Yeah Super Mario Galaxy 2 was a pain my ass at some points.

    • http://www.nintendoworlds.com/members/turbopikachu.22921/ TurboPikachu

      Super Mario 3D Land was the second easiest Mario game I’ve ever played… :(
      And Super Mario Galaxy 2 was rather easy for me as well… The only level truly testing my skills being the Grandmaster Galaxy.

      The last Mario game I played that was challenging from beginning to end was Sunshine.

    • http://www.facebook.com/lilrizky Joshua Rizk

      It took me much longer to beat Mario 64 100% than Mario galaxy 2 and that has double the Stars

  • Riku

    this game launches december 2 12 according to wikipedia
    so the wii u will be out by then!

  • http://www.facebook.com/henrik.puetz Henrik Puetz

    Hell Yeah :D This game looks more and more like Super mario World :D
    Yoshi´s back – and Monty^^(the scene from the last screenshot looks exactly like the first part monty is seen in SMW ^^^)

  • http://www.facebook.com/henrik.puetz Henrik Puetz

    I hope it will be renamed to Super Mario World U or sth like that- because this one is much more like SMW than (new) SMB…

  • Sonic20012

    Awesome! I’m definitely getting this game when it releases. I hope that December 2nd release date is true! I guess we’ll find out at the event in New York on Thursday. :)

  • 00Bugman

    I love the level designs=)

  • Nintyfan10

    Damn I pissed myself

  • david

    DID ANYBODY NOTICE THE MII’S IN THE BACKGROUND?

  • Amtoj

    Goombas?! In MARIO?! No way, I never thought they would ever return! =D

  • http://twitter.com/GamemistressEU GameMistress

    I love the level of detail in this game. *looks at the background*
    Yoshi is always a welcome addition :D

  • kenrulei09

    looool there’s mii’s in bg XD

  • Umax200

    Am i the only one who noticed the creepy Miis watching every moment of your game play behind the screen.XD!!

    • Umax200

      And the pipes look more BRIGHTER and realistic then NSMBW.

  • http://www.facebook.com/alan.smithee.5891 Alan Smithee

    Why do I think I’m the only one excited for the return of Torpedo Teds?

  • Mignaga

    In other news human beings breath air. Tune back in at 11 for more shocking news stories.

  • Akfamilyhome

    Did anyone know the giant world map is separated to different parts like in SMW instead of W1-8? For example the first world is called ‘Acorn Plains’, then ‘Sparkling Waters’, ‘Frosted Glacier’, ‘Layer Cake Dessert’….

    • Akfamilyhome

      I meant ‘Layer Cake Desert’.

  • ziddy6

    This game looks gorgeous. Nintendo really stepped it up. I am proud of them.
