New Super Mario Bros. Images

DS News | As in new New Super Mario Bros. images. You know what we mean.
Nintendo has dripped a few new details to us on their forthcoming Nintendo DS 2D Mario title, New Super Mario Bros..

Whilst previous shots of the game haven't included anything on the DS touchscreen, these new images do show both screens in action, with the bottom screen acting as an inventory of sorts, allowing players to store objects in the single player mode. It'll be possible for players to store up to three objects in their inventory, and the items are selected by simply touching the bottom screen.

The touchscreen will also display how far through the level the player is, as well as include the amount of coins the player has collected, the time left and the player's score. Which is helpful.

Three images of the game in action can be found in the Media Panel. New Super Mario Bros. is set for release next year on the Nintendo DS, and as it's the first original 2D Mario platform title in ages, it's fair to say we're rather excited.

I'm looking forward to this game too, but let's hope the touch screen is used for more than just selecting items.

Man, is this game looking ever so cool!
XD

I'm addicted to classic Super Mario side-scroller platformers - this game looks like something I HAVE to play!

I disagree, the game doesn't really need the touch-screen. I just hope the additions that have been made to the classic Mario Bros. gameplay (growing to a much larger size, extra moves, wall kick, etc.) make it more fun to play and don't ruin the classic Mario Bros. formula.

Agree^^

Id rather developers not shoehorn touchscreen functionality into a game where it really isnt needed.

I also love the old Mario Bros formula and I'm really glad they're bringing it back in this title. I don't mean that I'd prefer an over-zealous convergence of the classic Mario Bros gameplay with touchscreen technology icon_razz.gif. Maybe using the touch screen for stuff like mini-games would be kewl (in-game or as extras like in Super Mario 64 DS). I just thought it odd that Nintendo haven't utilised the touch screen as much from what can be seen of the screen shots, unlike in thier other titles where they've made more use of the touch screen.

The touch screen is used to drop cached power ups (ala SMB3/SMW).

I can't wait for this game, I've resorted to playing SMB DX, I hope they make it as difficult as that (or even better, as difficult as SMB for Super Players/Lost Levels/SMB2). I hope the two player elements are as good as I hope they are, I've been wanting that for years.

I don't really care if it doesn't fully use the touch screen. most of the games that do are just tech demos turned into full games. like yoshis touch and go.

It's gonna be a great game, I just know it! I'd get one for my nephew as well, but he doesn't have a DS, I'd get him that too but my sister isn't happy with his obsession for video games. He's only 7 but he's better than me at some games!
