Nintendo and Shigeru Miyamoto return Mario back to the realm of 2-D once again for New Super Mario Bros. Wii. This time up to four players can join in on the platforming goodness that originally made the Super Mario Bros. franchise such a smash sensation all those years ago. Unsurprisingly, Princess Peach has been kidnapped by Bowser & Co. and it’s up to you (and three of your closest friends) to once again rescue the princess and set things right in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Two new WiiWare demos are now available in Japan. Trial versions of Pokemon Fushigi no Dungeon and Gyakuten Saiban: Yomigaeru Gyakuten are both up for download on the Wii Shop Channel. Satoru Iwata stated earlier this year that the first batch of demos would be a test run of sorts, but the new indicate that Nintendo will continue to add fresh demos to the Wii Shop Channel as time goes on. It also seems likely that different demos will be released in North America and Europe next year.
