NSMBU: Not just a total rehash.

In my eyes, NSMBU isn't a complete rehash. The game brings a lot of new content and modes to the series and of course for the first time it's in HD. But one thing that really drilled into my mind that this game isn't the same as any other in the series is that they've actually added a new character to the game (IP really). His name is Nabbit if you already haven't seen this. I find this a really good sign that future Mario titles could continue to expand with not just new modes but adding new and interesting characters. Thoughts?

Lmao oops my bad.

I kind of wrote it off at first too, but it's starting to look really cool.

Then again, I didn't really like NSMB Wii for some reason. The physics are too slippery. Then again, maybe I simply suck.

I skipped NSMB.2
So, getting this makes me happy, Since its not entirely "pointless"

yes, I said NSMB.2 is pointless, 1million coins isn't worth it, and maxing out your coins doesn't add anything new.

So, no point to the game.

with NSMB.U Boost Mode, the Nabbit, new Power Up(-s?) 5 players if you have that many friends :V, Custom Coin Battles, Mii's finally getting in on the platforming.

so, yeah, 1st game I'm getting is NSMB.U

Yeah i'll agree with you on that. The controls in NSMB Wii were a little slippery at times. I always found myself having to back track in levels because I would run really fast, stop, and still continue to slide when i'm trying to grab a power-up or hit a block or grab a coin.

My thoughts exactly. We'll actually have a lot of replay value this time besides just going back and replaying the same level. Miiverse is really opening doors for 1st party titles too like this game and it's awesome.

Glad I'm not the only one.

NSMB on the DS seemed a lot tighter to me, hopefully NSMBU will control better. They should take notes from DKC Returns as well, that game played like a dream.

Definitely excited for this one, and I was not originally.

As it was for me with everything else Wii U, as I saw more I got even more convinced and excited for the game.

I can't wait for the Miiverse Leaderboards.

I know. They're actually really helpful especially with the new challenge modes. Also you can post screenshots.

I didn't know that tidbit. I wonder how you take ingame screenshots.

Yeah you can take in-game screenshots of any game actually and then post them too Miiverse to show accomplishments or to show exactly where you're having trouble.

I assume you either go back to the homescreen to take it or each game has a different button assigned to it.

Yeah I don't really know how they'd do except if they just make you press a button on the gamepad to do it or whatever. I think that's the most likely way because you can do this with most games.

Maybe you press select or the TV button?

Yeah those buttons probably act in a different way when playing a game.

Or maybe there is some kind of button combination like soft resets on the Nintendo DS line.

What he is talking about is the slide Mario does when he turns around after running at top speed.

Yeah it was a real pain in the neck. It's just wasn't smooth like it seems to be in NSMBU.
