“As for the piracy itself, it is said to be hard to precisely figure out the total impact as it is done underground. But I think I can declare that software piracy impacts all video game platforms today.”
Iwata went on to detail he ways in which Nintendo is attempting to fight the battle.
“As for specific measures, we have two ways – technological and legal measures,” Iwata explained.
“They tend to become a cat-and-mouse chase. As the piracy itself is underground, someone somewhere finds out the solution to evade our measures. When we shut one hole of the mice, they have dug a new one somewhere else.
“We have acknowledged that this is an endless battle, and we believe the best measure is to keep fighting it technologically and legally.
"As for the details of specific measures, I'll refrain from disclosing them here, as this conversation will be public online and the pirates will be able to find. I will however promise to keep acting legally and technologically, with patience.”
Interesting...seems like 1st party nintendo games always leak.
Speaking of which, how hard is it to hack a wii? Need to buy anything external or can you go to EBgames, buy a used wii, and do it yourself.
Any Wii hack that takes more than 10 minutes would not be worth it for me. I'd bootleg punch out for an hour and then I'd go back to not turning it on.
On the eve of Modern Warfare 2's release, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime is throwing the gauntlet. He says New Super Mario Bros Wii will outsell either the PS3 or Xbox 360 version of Modern Warfare 2.
"Now, you've got to give me the entire holiday selling season, right, so let's take it all the way through the January NPD data," Fils-Aime told GameTrailers TV. "Yes. I'll take that... I'll put that stake in the ground."
MW2 publisher Activision, meanwhile, thinks their game could be the best-selling title of all time. Even if MW2 doesn't reach that milestone, it's still a hell of a game to pit your product against. New Super Mario Bros. Wii comes out on November 15th while MW2's out tomorrow.
Playing it off a DVD-R doesn't work. :'(

Everyone's saying they won't buy it because of the dedicated server nonsense, but at the end of the day it's MW2 and gamers are pathetic.

The second one.
Gotta love a nostalgia trip.
Trying to get some of these alternate exits is making me ragequit. :maf
Ok, I didn't realize you could play with nunchuck. Controls are 100x better now.
Also 480i is the way to go it seems. It's more blurry but the blurriness hides the horrible jaggies when it's sharp and the soft look isn't too bad for Mario.
How's the save system? i hate how it works in nsmb ds
So we're back to the "It's awesome!" you filthy pirates?
this game is fucking shit hard
I mean think about it. Archie plays Rock BAnd games - casual
BrandNew, did you have to use the super guide and have the game play itself for you?
BrandNew, did you have to use the super guide and have the game play itself for you?
No, but it's popped up for me before. I'm avoiding it because I've heard that you unlock something if you don't use it.
Miyamoto joked that he feels a bit of shame whenever the Super Guide block shows up in a level since it only appears when the player fails a certain amount of time. There will be a special icon awarded on the title screen to any player who beats New Super Mario Bros. Wii without revealing a single Super Guide block.

I think they are playing up the difficulty, tbh.
The platforming of the DS game was nowhere near as refined or well-designed as the stuff going here. You crazy, sir.
There's absolutely no way the DS version is better than this, you're crazy. Game's an mid 8-ish, often floating into 9, mid 9-ish range.
i'm sorry for the dumb question but is anyone here able to run the game trough the disc channel without any of those homebrew installed loader?
can you play with classic controller? that's the one problem I might have. Playing castlevania rebirth last week reminded me that the Wii remote sideway is the worst.
How's the music? Is it better than the filth on the DS version?Terrible. Nothing is memorable and it still has that dumb "dah dah dah" sound in the tracks.

Nope. The propeller suit requires waggle gimmickry.

i might need to put on that remote condom since it helps a bit when playing in that mode
My biggest complaint is the idea of kicking you out of a level every time you die even if you have a checkpoint. The process of watching the kicked out animation, waking up, hitting A, getting back, and being back to playing takes like 10 seconds or slightly more. If you're going for the hidden coins/exits where you are going to die a lot this basically makes the game feel like it has a 10 sec loading time after every death which is completely distinguished mentally-challenged for a 2.5d platformer.

When you die you go back to the level select screen. This was done in case you wanted to equip an item in your stockpile.

It's silly things like this when designers do something they think will be beneficial that turns out to make the game worse. :\
because anything they can use to rag on the game, they'll use
Well, at least it'll outsell Modern Warfare 2.

what a shitty game! The music is among the worst I ever heard for a nintendo game and which idiot came up with the idea that you need to waggle your controller for that propeller powerup?!
Why is miyamoto approving this travesty
Do you ever stop bitching about fucking everything? Fuck, man, you used to be a decent dude to talk to. These days you're all spite and stupidity. Did getting banned from NeoGAF fuck you up that badly?

I hope this game outsells MW2 sooo badly! it deserves it. Unlike Call of Generic Bald Land Marine, Mario is actually cool and unique. Reggie threw down the gauntlet and while he may not be right about the first few months, the COD series is sooooo frontloaded and it doesn't have the country of Nippon backing it--it's that crucial Japanese support that will launch Mario ahead in the long run because the Japanese know a good game when they see it. I'll stand by and support my man Reggie while everyone has a COD circle jerk for the next 2 months before they get bored of it because it's just another dumb FPS. Maybe if they had some taste, they'd appreciate a good 2D platformer with a whimsical style. It's because of jerks like them that the 2D platformer is dying, but Nintendo understands the needs of the gamer and aren't all about money and business and stuff so they make them anyway.

whatever, it's not even about the games, it's about PR guys. I'd rather see Reggie win instead of that jerk Bobby Kotick. Bobby is all about money and being a jerk and Reggie doesn't care about that that much, he just wants to see a smile on my 35 year old face while I'm sitting unemployed in my mom's basement and remembering how much fun I had with Nintendo with the friends I used to have when I was 8.

The difference is that the other people making complaints here at least seem to like *something*. Every time you pop into a thread on here it's to rage over how much something sucks. If you hate games so much anymore, save your blood pressure and quit playing them.
The music...not really, no. It's not amazing, but it's leagues better than NSMB DS.
And the waggle controls are just there, fucking deal with it. If it honestly bothers you to shake your hands for a miniscule of a second, jesus h christ.

I love how they are ragging on traditional Mario stuff being in the game as "not new." KOOPAS IN A MARIO GAME?! AIRSHIPS?! DOUBLE-SIDED FENCES?! LOL BEEN THERE DONE THAT (Now let me get back to Modern Warfare 2. That's completely ORIGINAL, son.)
If it helps with the coins that are down low above a pit, I saw that throwing Koopa shells at them collects the coins.
That was in DS version too. Man I knew they were noobs. OMG ITS SO HARD.
You better bring your butt-stomping A-game to New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Like the best Mario 2D games of decades past, this game is unashamedly and deliciously challenging. It will even test the most seasoned platforming veterans
You'll need to dig deep and mine whatever experience you have with previous Mario offerings because New Super Mario Bros. Wii is by far the most challenging game in the series for many years (certainly more so than New Super Mario Bros. on the DS or Super Mario Galaxy)
The game's high difficulty may initially scare off new players
Yes, there a handful of powerfully tough areas we had to try over and over
The real strength of NSMB Wii isn't that it incorporates every great idea from 20 years of Mario games into a satisfying whole; it's that it does so in a way that's designed to entice gamers of every skill level [including demi skill]
The game is a great challenge
Bebpo sucks though

I came in here to say that the quicklook really warmed me to the game, and now I'm seeing that it's not 100% new? wut?
Man, all Mario does is jump around n' shit. I'm practically pressing "A" the entire time I'm playing the game! Plus it is the same shit over and over. I played an ice level the last Mario game I played, why are we playing an ice level again! Nintendo is just lazy.
5.5/10
So Jeremy Parish loves this game, but panned the Ghouls N' Ghosts PSP game? LOLZI like Parish, but that review was so off.
This shows the pathetic double standard with one set of games that rehash a lot and another.
Imagine the NSMB Wii reviews if it was anything like Dynasty Warriors:QuoteMan, all Mario does is jump around n' shit. I'm practically pressing "A" the entire time I'm playing the game! Plus it is the same shit over and over. I played an ice level the last Mario game I played, why are we playing an ice level again! Nintendo is just lazy.

Game is fun. I'm not about to make judgments on the first world about difficulty, but I will say it's clever how they had it be a tutorial where each level teaches you about a power/yoshi/level style. Um, the waggle stuff is kinda worse than I thought. Picking objects is probably the one that kills me. In every Mario game, and even with Koopa shells in this game, you pick up and carry items by holding a button and running into it. For some reason they have you hold 1 and waggle to pick it up. It's just so awkward to do that, and other various moves. In the propeller suit I accidentally activate the jump when I didn't mean to. When you get to the first one of those scale platforms, I expected it to be like a scale, but you just tilt to move it...why? it's a lot of gimmicky stuff so far. But I do think it's fine how they replace the spin jump moves from World using the waggle for the flowers since there are only two action buttons now. Also, the game kinda feels really floaty for some reason. It just takes some getting used to. I do like that they got rid of the Mario 64 moves that were there in NSMB DS. The music sucks, btw.
But yeah, the game is fun.
It's not that bad. Waggle is very minimal in this game. But, I would've preferred the option to map that function to Classic Controller.Game is fun.

It's not that bad. Waggle is very minimal in this game. But, I would've preferred the option to map that function to Classic Controller.Game is fun. I'm not about to make judgments on the first world about difficulty, but I will say it's clever how they had it be a tutorial where each level teaches you about a power/yoshi/level style. Um, the waggle stuff is kinda worse than I thought. Picking objects is probably the one that kills me. In every Mario game, and even with Koopa shells in this game, you pick up and carry items by holding a button and running into it. For some reason they have you hold 1 and waggle to pick it up. It's just so awkward to do that, and other various moves. In the propeller suit I accidentally activate the jump when I didn't mean to. When you get to the first one of those scale platforms, I expected it to be like a scale, but you just tilt to move it...why? it's a lot of gimmicky stuff so far. But I do think it's fine how they replace the spin jump moves from World using the waggle for the flowers since there are only two action buttons now. Also, the game kinda feels really floaty for some reason. It just takes some getting used to. I do like that they got rid of the Mario 64 moves that were there in NSMB DS. The music sucks, btw.

Do you need to rescue every toad in every level for completionist purposes, or is it just for a few extra lives? I'm really enjoying this game so far, level design is a good deal more developed and challenging than the DS game, and it's got a lot of nice throwbacks to SM3 and W. Just made it to stage 4, though I have to go back and collect a few coins I missed in stages 2 and 3.
Yeah, my main complaint of course is the waggle stuff, especially picking up certain objects by pressing 1+waggle.
Wait, which SM64 moves did they get rid of? Better not be the wall jump...Long jump, which wouldn't make any sense in a 2d mario game. Triple jump and wall jump are in. It's basically the same jump mechanics as NSMB.

People look too fondly back at the old Mario games and saying how hard they were. I'm sorry, World is not that hard. In fact the hardest Mario game that I've played was SMB2, American version. Nothing has been as challenging as that since. I just sat down with World for a go real quick and got the the fourth world in about 20 minutes. NSMBWii is tons tougher than that game.

You've clearly never played lost worlds.

and the spin attack, which isn't useful unless you have the ice or fire flower because it makes you shoot in each direction. And to jump off Yoshi. Also, some other seesaw like operations, like the 1up game where you aim a cannon by tilting the thing.
Some losers are comparing this to SMB2j in terms of difficulty. ::)

I'd agree with the assertion that this is about SMW level difficulty since I stomped through the main game of that in a weekend back in the day.
Can you reach that cannon in world 1? Just finished World 1 without dying and all coins

World 9 kinda sucks, you can't play any stages unlessMakes me wonder what kind of hardcore insanity awaits those who access the levels.spoiler (click to show/hide)you've collected ALL the star coins in a world.[close]
Did Oblivion get this yet?
This game has probably the worst music in the series so far. Which is an amazing accomplishment after NSMB: DS.
This is such a fun game. I'm taking my time going through it and enjoying every minute. Feels weird to actually be playing the Wii again.
At world 7. The remixes of prior non-NSMB games is making this a little more tolerable at least. Hell, the castle theme is growing on me.This is the same team that made NSMB DS, right? At least that's what Wikipedia says. They definitely improved in almost all areas, including the music :P
So far this game is a blast. Level design is excellent.

Just beat it, fucking amazing. Takes huge shits on NSMB. Might even edge out Galaxy for me. Definitely top tier Mario material.

Fuck. That good?
I was going to wait until Galaxy 2 to get a Wii and this game but I don't know now.
What Wii turd could possibly be above this besides Galaxy lol

Co-op is gonna be where its at. Hopefully I can get my wife into some Mario action.I misread that as Resident Evil Dark Chocolate. Mmmm. Zombie nougat.
I'm getting my copy tomorrow; Amazon is also giving $10 credits back to anyone who orders the game from them. I used it on Resident Evil Darkside Chronicles, knocking the price down to $34.99. LOL Gamestop.

40/40 from famitsu :-\
I love this game (would give 9/10), but Galaxy (40/40) is still in a whole different league. The art & music alone should make this score less than Galaxy; not too mention the amazingly innovative design in Galaxy that is not here so much.

its fucking famitsu, why do you care?
I stopped playing. Dunno how you guys keep playing this stuff for more than a day.
I'm slightly ashamed to admit that I like the little spin you do when you waggle after a jump. I don't know if it does anything in terms of height or distance, but it makes you feel like you just barely caught the flag for a 1up at the end of a level.
Eh, I would like the propeller suit a hell of a lot better if I could activate it without motion shakes. I died a bunch of times getting the coin on world 5 castle right above the lava because timing the shake was tough.
So does anybody bother with the mini mushroom? Apart from one Star Coin that required use of it, I don't recall using it at all. Propeller suit ROCKED and was a lifesaver in some boards. And man... 9-7... hardest Mario level ever!

I finally got every star coin. 9-7 is one of the hardest levels ever in a Mario game, fan hacks not included. I actually like the game alot, but forced and somewhat inaccurate waggle kinda soured me on the experience.Yes. Especially if you want to get all the star coins. The Super Skills video for that level is insane.
Finally played some multiplayer last night. Playing together on the same screen is fun, but also kind of fucked up. It can mess up your jumps if you're trying to get to a platform that someone else is already standing on, or you might get in the way of a power-up. Can you not throw your partner(s) upwards? I kept messing around with that, and sometimes was able to throw the other player at an enemy and kill it, but often would kill/de-power my partner instead.
This game looks hawt in Dolphin.spoiler (click to show/hide)(http://i853.photobucket.com/albums/ab100/Bionic_Catbus/NSMBWiiHD2.jpg)[close]
Out-performed by a PC emulator in the middle of the generation. :'( Wii :'(
uggghhhhh 7-mid castle fucking sucks. This game is awesome until they go waggle crazy on you. Like, this game is has been super easy and I got 99 lives just by playing, yet when I get to these waggle garbage sections I die a bunch. Why would waggle be pick up enemy AND move the platform!?
it's even just a pain to play these sections. apparently I hold controllers tilted to the left since just stepping on the platform has it fly to the left of the screen. I have to play like fucking Frankenstein's monster.
sounds like someone isn't good at this game :-*
Uh swaggaz, you do know you don't have to pick up turtle shells and bomb-ombs with the waggle+1, right? You just run into those to pick them up.
edit:
"The best part is that if you tilt at a spin past a turtle's, the platform moves, Mario does a fucking spin jump and flies off the platform."
Or do you mean, if you tilt to fast then it fucks up?

suck a FUCK, the propellor suit is the best fucking power-up in the game. So goddamn awesome.
I don't like the propeller suit or the penguin suit. I wish they would have retained the huge mushroom, it was fun bursting through levels with it.
::)
"This is a fun game, but since I'm a nostalgia cigarillo, this game sucks."
there is really no reason to pick this over super mario world or super mario bros 3
They are not that hard. I got all 3 coins in my first successful attempt on each of them, except for two of them. I got two coins in each of those.
You don't think 9-7 is hard? This level sucks. It would be easy except for the fact that every fucking pipe is half an inch taller than you can clear with a stand-still jump, and there's barely any room to build up a head of steam.
Man, just did the mid-castle of world 7 and it was the first time waggle controls really bothered me. The post-checkpoint star where you are on the elevator moves left/right on your tilt with all the little bombas and you need to grab one and place it 'right' next to the block and then get in there. Doing all that while also trying to KEEP THE CONTROLLER PERFECTLY LEVEL so it didn't swing left/right was VERY HARD FOR ME. First time I got the Luigi box :(
