A red case actually sounds pretty nice. I'd welcome that change for sure. Reminds me of how they had DOOM and Spiderman & Venom: Maximum Carnage cartridges colored red. Good stuff.

Re: the red coloring — yes, they dared! Unless you're ordering the limited edition tin from Europe, even the plastic case for NSMB Wii is going to be red. (And if you're in North America, the Wii logo on the boxart will be gold.) So awesome!

It's coincidental that you should mention this gen's tightly-bunched underwear. I've run into a few people who are all bent out of shape about how the red case won't match the rest of their games, haha.

Who knew a little bit of talk from PR could bunch up so many people's underwear? It's like this generation of gaming has the most tightly wound, ready-to-snap “rubberbands” in gaming history. Maybe people who play PC's can talk about how consoles are stupid for saying they have top notch processors, etc in this thread to complete the cycle and make my day complete. =)

I'm actually curious about this red coloring in the picture. Dare they change that common white for this Mario game? As far as the bubble at least it's not like FFCC where one person would have to carry the chalice everywhere!

I refuse to believe that the GC couldn't have done this. As I said before, LOD. And even if they had to lower the graphics a little bit, it's not like the GC couldn't have made it because its processor was not good enough or something.

Graphics level don't define a game. Other things do. For example, if I take Half-Life 2 and try and make it for the Saturn, it probably wouldn't work the same, because the physics model requires more processor power. But I can take Doom 3 and bring it to the Saturn. With worse graphics, obviously, but it will work exactly the same.

Miya should get his act straight. If he wants to say "this level of graphics couldn't have been done on the GC", then fine. But if he tells me that "zooming in and out couldn't have been done on the GC", that's not true.

That's basically it, but people are too used to the “This can't be done on PS3!” or “This can't be done on 360!” lines that often come from developers/fans/reps.

Besides that, making fun of the Wii is the “cool” thing to do.

I think MM was comparing the Wii's graphical capability+the technical level of NSMBWii to previous Nintendo home consoles' capabilities. This game would not have worked in the same way on the Gamecube, the N64, or SNES for example, thats how I see his statment. It's not like he flat out said “this can only run on Wii, PS3+360 aren't fit for a game like this, praise the Wiiii!” heh.

I love my wii (No pun intended) but that was by far the silliest thing I have read all week.

I really don't like making fun of Nintendo, they have given me some really great gaming memories. But when they say crap like this it just can't be helped. I really do wish they would invest in more core game development then gimmicks (even though they sell really well for a brief time). I must say that the balance board was pretty sweet for a while, and my family still uses it.
Now, this new game they have coming out, is this the best they can get out of the Wii?
