A few select fans have come up with the perfect solution for those who are interesting in experiencing new levels in New Super Mario Bros in the form of a Wii “hack.” Actually, more than just levels are offered. There’s also new maps, music, gameplay mechanics, graphics, and enemies. Interested yet?
It’s true, obviously, that you won’t be able to just pop in your New Super Mario Bros. disc and start experiencing the fan-made content. But all you need is a homebrew-enabled Wii, and there’s absolutely no piracy involved with the project. The levels seem quite nice – as demonstrated in the video above – though you’ll have to wait until November to get your hands on the game enhancement. It looks like it might be worth the wait!

Two 007 games were released last year, and we now know that another entry in the video game franchise is expected to ship in 2011. During a financial results conference call, Activision confirmed that the company plans on launching the project sometime this year. Unfortunately, no further information was provided.
GoldenEye 007, a reimagining of the class N64 release, was received well by critics and was one of the better-selling third-party releases of 2010. Might Activsion have called on Eurocom to develop a sequel for Wii and/or other platforms?
Keep your eyes away from this video if you feel that seeing the characters/costumes will spoil the game for you…
