A new Mario game being announced by Nintendo isn't exactly amazing news, but the latest Mario title is a little bit different, especially for co-op fans. At their E3 press conference, Nintendo revealed New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The game seems to be more closely related to New Super Mario Bros. for the DS than to Super Mario Galaxy for the Wii.

Old school two dimensional platforming should be a fantastic experience, especially when you can team up with three other players! Cooperation between up to four players will be emphasized. Expect your old favorites like warp pipes, coin collecting, and lots of secrets. One new addition will be the propeller suit, which allows the wearer to fly when the Wiimote is waggled.

New Super Mario Bros. for the DS was a very good game, and with the addition of four player co-op, New Super Mario Bros. Wii easily becomes one of our most anticipated games. Unfortunately, it looks like we'll have to wait until 2010 for the game's release. We'll have more info for you as we recieve it!

I would love it if this game was online co-op, but knowing Wii, it probably wont.

They should change one of the Toads to be Peach. SMB2 co-op = epic.

FINALLY a game my wife will co-op with me! Actually there have been a few, but the Wii is her favorite so this could be good. Guess it'll be one big screen and both have to stay on it together?

They said the Mario creator has always wanted to do co-op, but it's not like there was a technical limitation to co-op on a platform before.

That would have been a better idea in my mind too. I guess they wanted to stick to the traditional "go through each level and castle/dungeon until you find the one that has the Princess and save her."
