No, that clearly says "SUPER MARIO BROS Wii." Compare the font to the original:



Definitely a new SMB.

The IGN Nintendo Voice Chat Podcast confirmed that Miyamoto will be holding a round table at 5:30 PST tomorrow. Three years ago we got Brawl's announcement from this after-conference panel.

Well, at the very least it clearly says 'Super' in a very similair font. Given it's Nintendo, and that the second line closely resembles it, it's safe to say that it will be the next Mario game.

Speaking of which, does anyone know when Nintendo's doing thier thing today?

[Xellos]

It's at 9:00 am PDT, right?

[Mirai Gen]

Nintendo announcing a Mario product is just baffling. My truest hope is that its New Super Mario Bros 3, but I doubt it'll happen.

So yeah I'm going to miss today, so if anyone has a decent breakdown/synopsis or whatevs of E3 I'd be grateful.

Less than one hour! You know where to watch!

Nintendo commissioning Treasure to make Sin and Punishment 2 and bringing it to North America is more baffling. Not only did the first one not come out here until the Virtual Console allowed it, it was one of their worst-selling N64 games in Japan.

This is proof that God exists, dude.

Translation: You should be more excited for S&P2; it's the closest thing we'll get to a Star Fox Wii (but better!).

Did Nintendo release New Super Mario Bros. 2 while I was not watching?

[greed]

I think Mirai's hoping they skip right to 3, as in make it in the style of 3 and ignore 2. Of course NSMB was already pretty 3 ish so personally I'm hoping for one more like World, cause it was the best other than Yoshi's Island.

Actually thinking of it, one in the vein of 2 or whatever it was called in Japan (Arabian Nights or something?) but updated to 2009 DS levels would be pretty cool.

Oh also:

Apparently NSMBW won't have any online play because "there's so much going on the screen that we use up all our processing power, so we simply have nothing left."

And people wonder why the Wii is so damn silly. It isn't even two Gamecubes - its a Gamecube with vertical stand-up and a glowing blue light.

[P-Sleazy]

A glowing blue light of pure awesome!

Re-sprited because the Japanese have a superiority complex and considered the real Super Mario Bros. 2 too advanced for foreign consumers, so never released it outside of Japan?
