Nintendo's Fall 2007 Conference dropped a few surprises on Mario fans. First, they announced Dr. Mario & Saikin Bokumetsu (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/drm-ww), a new WiiWare title that is a remake of the original Dr. Mario, complete with an updated look, Mii interaction, and Wi-Fi play. Next, they shared some new details on Mario Kart Wii (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/mkwii). The game will introduce motorcycles to the series and come packaged with the Wii Steering Wheel when it releases in Spring of 2008. After this, Super Smash Bros. Brawl (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/ssbb) was shown, where Sonic was announced as a playable character. Unfortunately, the game was delayed until January 24, 2008 for Japan, and it is unconfirmed as of now what the new American release date will be. Finally, a new Mario baseball game was announced entitled Super Mario Stadium Baseball.
TMK will be updating with official screen shots as they become available. For the press releases, head on over to our blog!

I was wondering if anyone noticed that. Sakurai is a sneaky one, slipping in a delay next to an update like today's.

Whoah, how'd I not know this was happening?
WiiWare Dr. Mario: Sounds fine to me, but I'd like a little more than old, short games with face-lifts and Wi-Fi--that's what the DS is for (zing!).
Motorcycles in Mario Kart: Trying to man up, eh, Nintendo? How ironic... the series that invented the kart genre is now implementing these. Oh, well.
Sonic in Brawl: I'd rather he wasn't, but what can ya do.
Possible Brawl delay: *Holds up razorblade* Don't make me do it...
New Mario Baseball: One wasn't enough? Zero wasn't enough?

You'd rather an unpolished Brawl with too much wasted potential than wait even a couple more months?

I hate Mario Superstar Baseball...so...much. Even hearing the word "baseball" drives me nuts.
And actually, I seem to recall Waluigi's extra kart in MKDS looked like a chopper. Or am I mistaken?

No, I'd rather they don't tell us the release date until they're ABSOLUTIVELY sure it'll be ready by then. They'd better put in Geno and 50 stages to make up for this.

I don't care much for MSB either (Where's my Toad?!), and you're right about Waluigi's extra kart (the Zipper it was called, I believe.)

Hmmm... you've got a point there. But I don't like the whining. It's childish.
At least it's still coming before my birthday! I wouldn't want my traditional at-home party to suck...
Edit: I don't know how I feel about motorcycles in Mario Kart, but I'm still going to buy it. I don't HAVE to use them.

It looks like someone's going to be disappointed come Feburary/March next year then.
