Post by: Deezer on May 09, 2006, 01:44:29 PM

Mario vs. Donkey Kong™ 2: March of the Minis
Format: Nintendo DS™
Launch Date: Sept. 25, 2006
ESRB: RP (Rating Pending)
Game Type: Action Puzzle
Players: TBA
Developer: Nintendo Software Technology Corp.
KEY INFORMATION
• In the original Mario vs. Donkey Kong™, Mario™ was trying to find all the Mini Marios ... but this time, it’s up to them to save the day. Players use the stylus and the touch screen to guide Mini Marios through mind-boggling, obstacle-filled levels.
• Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 allows players to create their own maps with a new level editor. Once a map is created, players can send it across the world via Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection. Players also can use Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to download maps created by others, check out a player-ranking system and access special bonuses. These unique features are sure to be a smash hit with puzzle fans everywhere.
• Pauline returns! Pauline appeared in the original Donkey Kong® as the woman that Mario was attempting to rescue, and was one of the first recognizable characters created by Nintendo. After a decades-long hiatus, Pauline is finally returning to the world of video games in Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2. Pauline is the object of Donkey Kong’s misplaced affections, so players must rescue her all over again.

Game storyline: It seems folks love those Mini Mario toys. So much so that the Mario Toy Company has expanded the line to include Mini Donkey Kong, Mini Toad and Mini Peach figures to the series. With all these toys bringing him more money than he knows what to do with, Mario decides to fulfill his lifelong dream and open a theme park called Super Mini Mario World.
The opening-day crowd includes Pauline and Donkey Kong, who immediately falls head over heels for the lovely lass. The proud ape tries to show off his Mini DK toy to Pauline, but she picks the Mini Mario toy over his and the jealous Donkey Kong becomes enraged.

Whoa, this game sounds cool! And it has a level editor, just like Donkey Kong Plus - which was sort of the prototype to Mario vs. Donkey Kong - was going to have!

Does this mean Pauline will be a regular character in spinoffs, like Petey Piranha?

Peach ain't gonna like this.

We need more females and humans. Maybe she'll have a different personality from Peach and Daisy.

Candy and Peach are sure going to be giving DK and Mario heck after this.

Maybe it'll be revealed that Pauline is with Stanley the Bugman at the end of the game. XD

They should give DK Jr. a cameo.

Donkey Kong Jr would make a good sub-boss.

I still think Stanley should be brought back for this game. Maybe they could go on a roll and make Wrecking Crew DS featuring the return of Foreman Spike.

this game will be great but I wished the grafics was 3D like the original M vs DK.

Uh, the graphics in Mvs.DK1 weren't 3D.

NSMB is 3-D!!!

Actually it's 2.5D. ;)

Characters are 3-D polygons.

Title: Re: E3 2006: Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2
Post by: The Chef on August 04, 2006, 03:55:12 PM

But the backgrounds on which they stand are 2D. Therefore the game as a whole is 2.5D.

Fair enough.
