I'm happy to see Reznor back, but these 2 games HAVE to gave the Koopa Kids back! Bring on Wart, too - a good way to differentiate two closely released Mario games.

I wonder if the baby Yoshis can grow to adult size after eating enough.

these two game are coming out around the same time right? as if nintendo is making dual strike to have their stocks rise to what they were before...

I really hope that New Super Mario Bros. U will have different art styles in the different worlds. When they showed it on stage, there was a Van Gough style Boo’s house level, but that was not on the show floor. That’s certainly a step in the right direction, or should I say triple-jump in the right direction. One of the main complaints of the first game was bland and generic backgrounds. Just keep Mario and his gameplay the same, but change the world he’s in. Nintendo is probably withholding info on Bowser, Peach, and the koopalings, until closer to launch; no use in laying all your Hanafuda down months in advance.

For the love of God Nintendo please stop using the "wah wah"! in the music! Matter of fact get Koji back on music!

Loving the Mario World vibes from Mario U, I just wish they'd had the balls to just call it "New Super Mario World".


Inflating baby Yoshis kinda disturbs me though, who would do such a thing!!?

Kondo was the one who wrote the NSMB theme and introduced the wahs. The NSMB composers need to make their own music instead of trying to mimic Kondo's past themes. It worked great for Super Mario Galaxy.

Is it just me, or is the music exactly the same as New Super Mario Bros Wii?

Yep.

Pretty much all of the music in NSMB 2 is recycled from the Wii version.


This is odd, because Super Mario 3D Land had mostly original music, there were only a couple tracks that were reused from Super Mario Galaxy 2.


Nintendo seems to be putting more effort in NSMB U, since that game has all original music.
