Mario Mushrooms

Next time you play Mario, just remember; every coin you collect helps to fund his addiction.

So Nintendo took the classic Super Mario Bros. that everybody loves, and they made something new with it. Basically, this is Super Mario Bros., but you can play with 4 people, including yourself, all at one time. The graphics are updated as well. It’s pretty much the same as New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS, which was a great game.

I think this game could actually be pretty fun. Having 4 people run through the levels of Super Mario Bros., all at once, fighting over power-ups and coins, throwing each other around, battling for the top score. It’s almost like a side scrolling Super Smash Bros.

The game definitely looks like it has potential. Check out the trailer and see for yourself.

This is easily my favorite announcement from today’s Nintendo press conference at E3 2009. Not because it’s the best looking thing at E3, but because it’s the only thing from Nintendo that really got my attention.

Sure, it looks like Super Mario Galaxy 1. I’ve seen a lot of talk on the internet about how it’s just a recycled game. Well, I don’t think that’s true. There were 3 “Super Mario Bros.” games, there were 2 “Super Mario World” games. Why can’t there be 2 “Super Mario Galaxy” games? It’s exciting if you think about it. This is the first true, full sequel to a Mario game, on the same system, since the Nintendo NES with Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, and 3. We all know Super Mario World 2 on the Super Nintendo wasn’t a true sequel.

What I’m really excited about? I’m sure you can guess it…Yoshi! Our favorite mountable little green dinosaur thing is back! I don’t know about you guys, but Yoshi has always secretly been my favorite thing in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is set for release sometime in 2010. By “sometime”, I mean anytime from January 1st, 2010 through December 31st, 2010. The wait is on!
