Nintendo's New Super Mario Bros. Wii is now available. The new Wii game is bound to be one of this season's top selling games as Mario, Luigi and company headline the new side-scrolling multiplayer adventure. Nintendo hosted a debut event for New Super Mario Bros. Wii at the Nintendo World store in New York City. See Nintendo's pictures from the launch event below. You can see a new launch trailer below as well, highlighting the different gameplay modes in New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii is available today for $46.99 at Amazon.com or $49.99 at your local retailer. See how New Super Mario Bros. Wii is being rated by critics and players here on Metacritic.com and GameRankings.com.
Features of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, from Nintendo:
- New Super Mario Bros. Wii offers a combination of cooperation and competition. Players can pick each other up to save them from danger or toss them into it.
- Mario, Luigi and two Toads are all playable characters, while many others from the Mushroom Kingdom make appearances throughout the game. Players can even ride different Yoshi™ characters and use their tongues to swallow enemies, items and even balls of fire.
- In some areas, players use the motion abilities of the Wii Remote controller. The first player to reach a seesaw might make it tilt to help his or her character reach a higher platform – or might make it tilt incorrectly just to mess with other players.
- New items include the propeller suit, which will shoot players high into the sky with just a shake of the Wii Remote, and Mario’s new ability to transform into Penguin Mario.
- At the end of each stage during the coin battle multiplayer mode, players are ranked based on the number of coins they have collected.
