It's been kinda confusing me honestly

i'm not saying it looks exactly like the one on DS, but you can tell nintendo didn't exactly bother to push this game's graphics.

either way, 2d mario platformer is always good so i guess it won't really matter. but still :?

It looks fine. Its not jaggy or anything, and the animation and art look very nice, so who cares? New SMBDS tended to look kinda blurry and a little pixely

no man, the point ,is a 2d game, you really cant do much and if you do, it really wont help much the gameplay nor experience one bit .Nobody would even notice with the distance, nor care.in 3d games, of course things are different. But not in these cases.

I meant in 2D. The New Super Mario Bros series is supposed to call back to the original series, but how it would look today.

Though I admit, this would look awesome:

I don't know how functional it would be, but it sure looks pretty.

It's nice and clean, and that's all I care about. I'm glad they didn't go all out, because now hopefully they can fit in more gameplay.

The game has better textures, details, and graphics then the one on the DS. Its just harder to tell from your computer and the size of the game.

You should check out some more vids or something cause it farts all over NSMB visually.

More detailed textures, more vibrant backrounds, better animation.

What do you mean, these are not DS graphics, how else could Miyamoto say with a stright face that this game is maxing out the Wii so much online play is impossible. If that's the case then what you are looking at are top of the line, impossible before today graphics. Am I right?

It looks like fun to me. That's all that matters. The only thing I ask for visuals is that they don't interfere with the fun. I want smooth animation, clean textures, and a steady frame rate. The rest is gravy.

I aren't bothered because its a 2D Mario sidescroller and I aren't bothered if it looks the same or not it looks alot of fun to me.

He is right that it looks better and that it is maxing out the wii due to the amount of stuff going on at once

I'm thinking it's a possibility to be a wiiware game, since it would be a great boost for that platform to have a mario game, and a 3d 4 player one as well

haha... joke right? wii can push graphics a LOT further than that and there is a relatively low amount of things happening in that game at once, it's just crazy because there is the 2d plane of movement

It is not Super Mario Galaxy-looking but it is still better than New Super Mario Bros graphically.

I don't know... looking at this earlier, I think the game's visuals are looking really nice. Despite the footage being so zoomed out, I'm impressed with the activity that's taking place, the backgrounds, and the models. Plus, hopefully, these are just a handful of the game's levels.

Another thing... I'm loving Fire Toad already! :P

It doesn't really bother me, I just hope that since they are working on putting NSMB2Wii on a disc they would put A LOT O' stuff....

And I think they were right for putting it on Wii. It's easier gathering people on a console than on a handheld (Anyone tried to play Four Swords on Game Boy)...

I personally do not mind. In fact, I am surprised that the New Super Mario Bros. Wii ever existed, as there is already a Mario platform game released for the Wii (Super Mario Galaxy). It has been a practice since the fourth generation (16-bit era) for Nintendo to release a new Mario platform game once every generation.

I didn't buy a wii for its graphics. Also I like 2D mario better than 3D mario. The 2D segments in galaxy were easily my favorites. I'm psyched for this game

Who cares about graphics in a Mario game?

bob_newman

I do when it's a DS game ported to the Wii...with DS graphics...not Wii graphics.

There's no denying...that's just lazy.

To claim otherwise is pure fanboyism...

it is great when companies wait to make a game truly impressive, but it doesn't hurt to release games like this in the interim, to fill up the gaps between mega projects. The new mario game will be simple, fun, and forgettable. Nothing wrong with that to me. Not every book has to be War and Peace
