New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the first title to make use of the Super Guide. But what are the chances of the functionality being implemented into Super Mario Galaxy 2? Shigeru Miyamoto explains:

“Well, as far as the challenge of Super Mario Galaxy 2 is concerned, I think it’s going to be a really challenging game, but whether or not we are going to incorporate the Super Guide, I just cannot tell,” Miyamoto told us. “In general, wherever and whenever appropriate, I think we will want to incorporate that kind of thing, but I cannot commit to anything specific right now.”

Geoff Keighley is teasing some sort of Mario-related game for the holidays. Check out this mysterious message left on his Twitter account…

“Someone introduces himself as ‘It’s-a-me, Mario!’ in a big holiday game, and it’s not New Super Mario Bros Wii.”

Well, this is pretty odd! I honestly have no idea what Keighley is talking about, unless it’s that Mario arcade game. Charles Martinet said a few weeks back that he was recording voice work for a Mario game that isn’t New Super Mario Bros. Wii or Galaxy 2, but is Nintendo really preparing another title for the holidays? And if this was something obvious, wouldn’t Keighley have elaborated? Perhaps it’s a WiiWare title? I hope we find out soon!

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– From fans who grew up playing the NES™ console to gamers with a passion for the Wii™ console, generations of Americans have enjoyed the imaginative fun of Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros.™ video game series. Now the launch of New Super Mario Bros. Wii heralds the first time in the history of the series that up to four players can compete at the same time, either cooperatively or competitively.

Packed with beloved characters and remarkable new features, New Super Mario Bros. Wii takes the classic side-scrolling adventure of the Super Mario Bros. series and gives it a manic multiplayer boost. Featuring free-form multiplayer action, players can save their companions from danger or literally toss them right into it. While controlling Mario™, Luigi™ or one of two playable Toad™ characters, players can jump in and join a friend’s Story Mode game at the start of any level. The game also features two dedicated multiplayer modes, Coin Battle mode and Free For All mode, that let players easily select their favorite stages and compete across a variety of objectives. Each copy of New Super Mario Bros. Wii comes in a red case with a foil-stamped cover.

“I spoke to Mr. Miyamoto and said: ‘I wanna be Link, I wanna be Link,’ and Miyamoto told me that Link isn’t going to have a voice; he is going to stay the way he is. Of course Mr. Miyamoto is always right! The way it works right now is the way it is supposed to be. It’s the genius of Miyamoto and he knows just the right formula for making his games more fun and more exciting. For example in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, If things slowed down for Mario to express his inner feelings it just wouldn’t work and this way it keeps our hearts pounding with enthusiasm.” – Charles Martinet, voice of Mario

I don’t think I can imagine Link with a voice. I’m not completely against voice acting in general for the Zelda series, but hearing Link’s voice would probably ruin a great deal of the experience for me!

This video is basically Germany’s equivalent of the Nintendo Week video on the Nintendo Channel. You probably won’t understand it, but you can still see some footage of Nintendo games!

Thanks to Johannes for the news tip!
