Recently announced at the 2009 E3 was New Super Mario Bros. Wii, a game which appears to bear heavy resemblance to New Super Mario Bros. DS, the original, and very successful, counterpart for the DS, which in itself included many features that were previously implemented in Super Mario 64, and later Super Mario Sunshine, including wall jumping, ground pounding, and the star coin system.
So, who here has played the version of this game for the DS, and what do you think you can expect for the Wii? If you have played the DS one, what do you think can be improved on? Also, multiplayer features were mentioned as a key selling point for the game. What do you think could be included here?
Here is a trailer of the new game:

ZamFights Beta should come around Christmas, now.
Spoiler Alert:ZamFights Progress
Summary
ZamFights, a Pokemon Mass Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, developed by Pokezam's Webmaster Freezewarp, continues its development into Alpha 7, where you can trade Pokemon with a global trade station like feature and battle other trainers. Several bugs were also fixed.
Alpha 9, now in development, will feature numerous events and locations to go to, that is up to Fuschia. It will also feature the new, interactive map, numerous minor features, and an altered look.
Alpha 9 should come around Thanksgiving, and Alpha 10, or the public Beta, should come around Christmas.
Alpha 8 Preview
I actually like the idea of a sixth generation Pokemon Emerald remix; few people think of the possibilities that one game has in full, colorful, barely pixaleted 3-D (in other words, think of a Play Station 2 or Xbox Original). The existing 3D we have with the DS is good, but the next generation of handheld consoles should give much more detail to the game - imagine being able to change your perspective to look into the sky while the stormcloud is slowly stretching across the region once Kyogre and Groudon have both been awoken. Imagine seeing the sky tower, and a green tail, to the left, and mirages to the right. For that matter, think of Mirage Island!
There are so many other moments for which we could experience in perspective-3D Pokemon Emerald; the battle frontier is one example, but just seeing the sun rise and set as the time passes in Dewford city would be awesome. Of course, my dreams may be more than one generation away; are there any Wii games that even would make this real?
I only know one fact: THIS GAME IS GONNA ROCK THE HOUSE!
Really, it is very awesome, and the multiplayer option allows for co-operation, and double the fun!
*Sigh* I posted a lot before I pressed the "Post Quick Reply" Button and then lost my connection. I won't be using the Quick Reply box when it comes to threads such as this. Anyway...
I think this game is going to be great. I haven't played Mario Games since N64 and GBC. I guess this is a good way to start back up again on my Mario Adventures. Heh, and with more than one player too. Oh, yeah! Me and my siblings and close friends are going to have some fun with this. It is going to bring back some old memories as well.
I wouldn't doubt that the multiplayer features are going to be one of the key selling points for it either.

Well, it is very original as to the DS version, as there appear to be many things new, but what I really am looking forward to is just seeing how expansive the game is. This is the first time there has been a sidescroller Mario game since Super Mario World (excluding those on handheld systems).
