New Super Mario Bros. Wii scans, 3D Koopa Kids art, nicer looking visuals

Brawl and Melee. Lol.

No the reason she's not in is because it's just as good sticking two toads there and be done with it.

Because we want to save Peach playing as Peach. Oh, and flaming butt attack is must!

Spoilers:

sarcasm lol

they could just have easily had the kids kidnap Toadsworth or something. True noone really WANTS to go save him, but Mario would HAVE to...lol

Then why would one character get an advantage or a dis advantage from a game where everyone has to have the same moves, by having a different moveset?

because fan boys want to simulate sex poses with Mario and Peach in the game

cant they just do that in brawl

NO THEY HAVE TO DO THAT IN ANOTHER GAME

guess thats y theres co-op. supposedly theres a help feature where the cpu can play the level 4 u if its 2 hard.

i cant belive they abandoned the penguin suit. will the ice flower act like in smg or like in hello's games?

I'm pretty sure it's already been said that the Penguin Suit is STILL in the game. In fact it's even in the most recent videos i've seen. The Penguin Suit and Ice Flower are separate powerups.

sweet!!! i wasnt 2 sure about that 1.

Because this is the sequel to New Super Mario Bros. follow me if you will...

New Super Mario Bros. had alot of parralells to the original Super Mario Bros.
The sequel, Super Mario Bros. 2 (or Super Mario USA), had 4 playable characters, albeit not all at once. These characters were Mario, Luigi, Peach, and Toad.
If New Super Mario Bros. Wii had included Peac instead of a toad, then the 4th player would have inevitably become the character Toad, Thus making THIS sequel have a paralell to the original's sequel. Not to mention that New Super Mario bros. Wii includes picking up other players, a mechanic first introduced in Super Mario Bros. 2 (or Super Mario USA) where you could pick up enemies and vegetables.
Thus ends the history lesson.

So to fully answer your question, we desire to have Peach as playable to satisfy a sense of nostalgia.

i want peach as playable because she's so kawaii uguu

I agree that Peach would've been a good addition, but she'd deviate too much from the other players' abilities, and I reckon they wanted the four color schtick to stay. Plus, it's way too late now to do anything about it.

Furthermore, I don't think that would work so well with the original SMB story, and they certainly aren't going for a sequel to SMB2,or SMB, for that matter, but rather more of a SMB3-esque sequel to NSMB.

I found this Game Trailers Preview pretty interesting and give a lot of info:

I for one am glad to see that the Koopalings are finally going to appear in a game next to Bowser Jr. It shows that Nintendo hasn't truly forgotten about them in favor of Bowser Jr. But from the look of things so far, it seems Bowser Jr. will probably be the one leading them and Bowser most likely won't make his appearance until World 8.

Definitely looking forward to this game!

have we even seen bowser at all yet

i haven't been paying much attention to the game but is it possible he won't be there at all

Well Bowser died at the end of the DS game sooo it's possible he's not in it

Then again.. he always dies (all the time) so he also might be in this too

He most likely is

Did you bother to beat the first one? Cuz he didn't die. You see Jr. dragging him off stage while he's KO'd after the credits.

I'm liking the Koopalings, and this game should be VERY fun if it gets the Super Mario World feeling right.

Not sure about the new power-ups, but I guess they aren't so bad.
