So, with the new 3DS Mario game coming out, I keep hearing lots of people complain about the game feeling and looking and sounding just like the other one created a few years back. Does anyone think they would do that with new super Mario brothers u? I know it will look MUCH more crisp in 1080P but, the music and the level screens, I hope they are different and this game has an original feel to it.

Correction: 720p But I think it will be same-y, but harder. Music will just be added instruments, and items won't be too different.

nintendo didnt feel the need to do so and said it in interviews from e3 .

I think that Nintendo is trying to get used to the system before activating 1080p. I personally don't care, as I have a 480p TV.

lol yah my tv does 1080p easy. which is great for the wii u because i will really be able to see the graphics at thier best.

From what we have seen it is identical to the other ones. That is why I will not be purchasing it at launch.

Neither will I, better games to spend money on like Zombi U and Pikmin

I'd rather have Super Mario Sunshine 2

[Expansion Pak]

I know the Wii U will look good on my tv My tv can go to 1080p but for some reason it is on 1080i

YES!!!!!!!!!
But anyway, I was thinking about getting it as a launch game, but then I saw more footage and just saw that it's the same as all the others

Yeah talk about squeezing the "NEW super mario bros" to death there and back again. Far out enough.

Anyway I feel like HD for New Super Mario Bros U is a feature. It's really not needed.

Back on topic: people who say it would be the same are wrong. As you can see, they added a lot of new things plus some features from Super Mario Bros 2 and Super Mario World, often considered as the best Mario sidescrollers. And the jump from DS to Wii in terms of level design is really big. Looks like they're stepping it up again. I was never interested in sidescrollers but I decided to buy New Super Mario Bros Wii and really liked it. Heck, even the level selection screens were fun!

Reason #1 to buy this game. And yes, I'm serious. Okay, shared number one reason is the big overworld concept from SMW is returning. Replace Brickblocks with Turnblocks and flagpoles with finish line goals, and they should just call it New Super Mario World! I really think it's gonna be that awesome.

I'm currently playing NSMB2 which is an awesome game, but I think NSMBU is going to be way better. It looks 'newer' and more unique. Definitely my number one reason to get a Wii U.

YES!!!!!!!!!

Actually is not. Yes, you fight against Koopas in a sidescrolling game with boring flapoles at the end. But the leveldesign looks to be so good, even better than the Wii one, and the artstyle took a big step up: it's more painting-ish. And the Miiverse intergration looks reaaaaally neat.

However, I have to admit: this should be the last in the NSMB series. They should do a revamp like NSMB (DS) was. How about just release SMW3?

I'll be getting NSMB. It will be the 2nd game I'll get.

[BanjoKazooie]

I just completed NSMB2, and there were a lot of new gameplay mechanics, but the worlds felt generic. Hopefully the wii u one changes it up a bit, then I might consider buying it later on. However NSMB2 was still great. Not as good as the wii one though...

[iShuys]

I was reading an article today about a rumour that there will be a 3D Mario game due to launch late 2013 and it'll be shown at E3 2012.
