When Nintendo demoed the premiere gameplay of New Super Mario Bros. Wii at E3, there were four different characters used. Mario, Luigi, and two toads were available. However, some will be disappointed in knowing that there will not be any additional characters when the game ships this holiday. Shigeru Miyamoto provided Nintendo Power with a simple “that’s it” response when asked if more characters were present. Although that is unfortunate, perhaps the Koopa Kids will make up for the news. According to Miyamoto, “they’re supposed to all be in there.”

Bumping this to the front page for the final time this week. And I’m happy to say that I’m not going to be gone very long at all. If all goes well, I will be back in three hours or so. I’m not entirely sure if Austin will be here to provide you guys with updates until then, but if he doesn’t, hang in there until I return!
Just wanted to bump this to the front page. Austin will have site duties again for most of the day, but now I’m not actually sure when I’ll be back! If I’m lucky, hopefully at around 5:30 PM EST…But we’ll see. Until then, have a fun time with Austin!
I’m going to try to make this as short as possible without sounding too silly, but…Basically, Austin is going to be taking over the site the next few days. Let’s just say that I’ll be taking a break of sorts. I’ll be leaving the site at around 8 AM EST today and there’s a strong chance that I won’t be back until 11 PM. This applies again tomorrow. For Wednesday, I’ll only be gone in the morning for a few hours.
Fortunately, Austin will be taking over the site for me while I’m away. He’s done this all before, as some of you have seen during night hours, so I have faith that everything will be perfectly fine! My last post for will be the weekly VC/DSiWare/WiiWare update, but I’m sure that Austin will be here to continue with updates fairly soon.
Thanks guys!
