This is the story of New Super Mario Bros. Wii

by Andrew Yoon { Nov 5th 2009 at 6:00PM }

We know many Joystiq readers don't want to read spoilers on the site. That's why, for your sake, we've carefully posted the intro movie to New Super Mario Bros. Wii after the break. The upcoming 2D platformer returns the series to its roots, but adds a number of features that make it "new" -- it says so on the box. New power-ups and the addition of multiplayer radically change the feel of NSMBW, but we're not sure if gamers are prepared for the revolutionary new story featured in this latest adventure.

Check it out after the break.

LOL

phinnvr6 @ Nov 5th 2009 6:23PM

Lol come on, everyone knows Nintendo games don't have plots (or modern graphics, or good sound effects, or online play, or DLC)... They are fun though, amiright?

WINterfang ( Now with the power to piss you off ) @ Nov 5th 2009 6:33PM

I was laughing at the blinking spoilers, stop being a fanboy.

S. Tiger @ Nov 5th 2009 6:37PM

Bahaha. He called you out on your BS, phinnvr6.

That said, Team Fortress 2 has cartoony graphics, and does that make it any less fun? Absolutely not.

(And the Metroid Prime games are on par with current gen games in terms of graphics.)

Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith @ Nov 5th 2009 6:38PM

Yeah, Metroid is pretty modern looking. Don't see where that came from.

Stop bashing Ninty on the things they do well. Games don't need online or DLC to be awesome.

Prof. Von Manifest (aka Dallas McCoy of the Cocaine Imperium) [PSN: Manifest37] @ Nov 5th 2009 7:03PM

Compelling story!!!
Although I did like the music, the video could have used more Luigi in a speedo.

Brysonial the Bison @ Nov 5th 2009 7:39PM

Wow! I didn't even watch the video and the spoiler was right there! It saes "the princess gets kidnapped" seriously you don't put something that you never could or would have guessed happening in the title!

Matt @ Nov 5th 2009 7:57PM

@phinnvr6

Super Smash Brothers Brawl had online multiplayer.

Skaz @ Nov 6th 2009 3:12AM

Yeah, and it blew ass.

Prof. Von Manifest (aka Dallas McCoy of the Cocaine Imperium) [PSN: Manifest37] @ Nov 6th 2009 1:32PM

Yes, it made me discover the horrors of friend codes.

DUMB MOVIE NINTENDO!!

Michael @ Nov 5th 2009 6:05PM

The new scripts must be in another castle.

Looking forward to this though, something to play with the misses.

SpoonMurderer @ Nov 5th 2009 6:06PM

It would be even more incredible if there was a plot twist near the end, that when you finally defeated everyone, and she was in another castle.

The storyline is wicked boss, i think it should win some sort of award

Bagels (@AlsoBagels) @ Nov 5th 2009 6:10PM

I just wish Joystiq hadn't spoiled it with only a few spoiler tags guarding it. Now I don't even feel like playing the game.

skaterdude @ Nov 5th 2009 6:19PM

maybe she should just die already. im tired of having to save this bitch. lets get a brunette princess. She clearly cant keep her ass out of trouble.

Etcee @ Nov 5th 2009 6:50PM

That would be daisy you're talking about, and she's waaaay to clever to get kidnapped.

Daisy is the hotness.

Roto13 @ Nov 5th 2009 9:29PM

Daisy was just as kidnapped as Peach in her only traditional Mario game appearance.

seishinokurisu @ Nov 5th 2009 11:48PM

It turns out that Peach was Dr Wiley all along.

No Kill Tayler @ Nov 5th 2009 6:07PM

Cotton
The fabric of my life.

The cake never lies.

Peter Moore [Planeteer | Power of Fucking Your Mother] @ Nov 5th 2009 6:08PM

The touch. The feel. OF COTTON.

FNG @ Nov 5th 2009 6:11PM

joystiq now brought to you by...

the touuuuuuuuch the feeeeeeela the faaaaaabrick of our liiiiiives.

Peter Moore [Planeteer | Power of Fucking Your Mother] @ Nov 5th 2009 6:13PM

This is truly an age of Cotton.

WINterfang ( Now with the power to piss you off ) @ Nov 5th 2009 6:15PM

Cotton for GOTY 09.

Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith @ Nov 5th 2009 6:18PM

Cotton >>>>>> Spandex, that's for sure.

Do accounts just stop working? I didn't get banned, but the old one crapped out on me... ;(

Durden @ Nov 5th 2009 6:20PM

I never understood the point of advertising cotton. We're gonna buy the shit regardless! I'm covered in it head to toe as I type.

Enosoma @ Nov 5th 2009 7:29PM

Algodon

WINterfang ( Now with the power to piss you off ) @ Nov 5th 2009 7:34PM

El toca, El siente, de Algodon.

Bagels (@AlsoBagels) @ Nov 5th 2009 7:46PM

The alpaca people are sitting in their offices banging their heads against the wall that cotton beat them to the Joystiq demographic.

Peter Moore [Planeteer | Power of Fucking Your Mother] @ Nov 5th 2009 6:07PM

I hope the Princess doesn't get kidnapped again!

Peter Moore [Planeteer | Power of Fucking Your Mother] @ Nov 5th 2009 6:09PM

Dammit! Just read after the break! I knew I should've went on a blackout for this game.

Next you're gonna tell me you play as a terrorist in Modern Warfare 2...

Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith @ Nov 5th 2009 6:22PM

Here's a spoiler:

Snape killed Dumbledore!

OH SNAP!

Apollo @ Nov 5th 2009 6:08PM

KOOPA KIDS!

AmishPhysicist @ Nov 5th 2009 6:19PM

YES!

Greyseal @ Nov 5th 2009 8:46PM

Seriously!! That was actually a spoiler to me... but such a sweet one, I don't mind.

What is this I don't even...? @ Nov 5th 2009 10:30PM

My god I thought I would never see them again...

davidjtate @ Nov 5th 2009 11:13PM

Yeah, I'm so glad they're back! But... why is Bowser a baby now... and still has kids? What's the deal with Baby Bowser anyway?

NOAMattD @ Nov 6th 2009 12:17AM

KOOPA KIDS YES!

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Matt @ Nov 6th 2009 7:37AM

That's not Baby Bowser. It's Bowser Jr., the horrible piece of crap they brought in to replace the beloved Koopa Kids. Now that the Kids are back, maybe Bowser Jr. will leave... forever.

Torque_AOD @ Nov 5th 2009 6:10PM

Finally, a plot that can rival the works of M. Night Shyamalan.

WREturns [Planeteer I Power of The Final Countdown] @ Nov 5th 2009 6:13PM

I can rival the works of M. Night Shyamalan right now on a napkin, if you want.

charlie b. @ Nov 5th 2009 6:15PM

what you did there. i see it.

uncle jesse @ Nov 5th 2009 7:13PM

What a twist!

Stix Remix @ Nov 6th 2009 11:25AM

The trees!

Ulquiorra Cifer @ Nov 5th 2009 6:12PM

Of course no originality.

Skaz @ Nov 6th 2009 3:14AM

+1.

Seriously.

stubbymonkey @ Nov 5th 2009 6:12PM

wow, they still have it.

Prof. Von Manifest (aka Dallas McCoy of the Cocaine Imperium) [PSN: Manifest37] @ Nov 6th 2009 10:25PM

yup... same ol same ol

brian @ Nov 5th 2009 6:13PM

peach has the worst secret service guards ever.

Adv2k1 @ Nov 5th 2009 6:16PM

Is it racist to say Toads are to blame

uncle jesse @ Nov 5th 2009 7:30PM

Where was Toad and his big ass cannon before all the kidnapping went down?

HMMMMM?

Platy @ Nov 5th 2009 8:04PM

Well ... at least now the toads are helping ..... but of course as mario can do all the work alone they are pretty useless =P
