New Super Mario Brothers

[Wilbury]

Haha, mea culpa, don't hate me! Like I said, I know I'm in the severe minority. For SOME reason people seem to love it. :)

But I do think, somewhat more objectively perhaps, that there are a number of much more original possibilities for a "New Super Mario" platformer.

New Super Mario Land would surely be more interesting, a Mario vs Donkey platformer as I mentioned might be cool. SMB3 and SMW just get too much attention, and its as much a bandwagon as it is warranted.

And for what its worth, I think my first post might have been bagging SMW too, I can't remember. :P

NSMB except with Donkey Kong as the villian and Diddy Kong replacing Bowser Jr., I'd buy that.

No, it was about you being physically similar to Waluigi. And not to keep getting off-topic, but did you ever consider the New/Returning Members thread after a two-year hiatus?

Actually, I can truthfully say that thought would never have crossed my mind at all. :|

Another thought: Why not turn the Dr Mario phenomena into a DS platformer? At the very least it would have a wicked soundtrack, and it'd have potential with coloured pills instead of conventional powerups...

The possibilities are endless! This is what I mean when I say using SMW as the blueprint for yet another Mario platformer would surely be, to me, uninspired at best. Think outside the square!

(NSMB was essentially a melting pot of SMB 1, SMB 3 and SMW anyway. And highly enjoyable it is too, but why do it again with so many other options?)

NSMB also had a few Mario 64 parts. (Wall jumps and Ground pound)

What's wrong with a melting pot?

I don't have any problem with a rehash as long as there are shout-outs to previous games, and the visuals are updated, and the soundtrack is retro-ly epic (SMG's old songs orchestrated, for example).

What I'm meaning is, I would be happy if they took old NES/SNES mario games and updated the visuals to Galaxy's levels (read: not NSMB's).

My list for games that should be revisited and updated to today's capabilities (graphics, sound, interface, etc.) includes:

-SMAS
-SMW
-Parappa the Rappa (btw I hear Parappa 3 is being announced)
-Need for Speed: High Stakes (4th game in series)
-Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed (5th game in series)

(Need for Speed: Underground and every one since then SUCKS. Friggin' Fast and the Furious video games is what they should be labeled as...)
