Two New Mario Games on Wii!

During the E3 convention, Nintendo announced that two new Mario games are coming out for the Nintendo Wii. New Super Mario Bros. Wii will be released this winter while Super Mario Galaxy 2 has a release date of 2010. This is exciting news, since we haven’t seen multiple Mario titles (were excluding anything that’s not a traditional Mario game) since the days of the NES!


New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a side scrolling platform game that will allow up to four players to play simultaneously. You will have the option to choose between Mario, Luigi, Blue Toad and Yellow Toad. When an item box is smashed, four of the same item will jump out instead of the traditional one item.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is a direct sequel to Super Mario Galaxy. Once again Mario will retain items like the bee suit, but will now add items like a jackhammer. Yoshi will also be included in his new adventure!
