New Super Mario Bros. U Announced
Update: The latest screens have been added, along with the trailer Nintendo showcased at its press conference.
Original Story: Nintendo's newest Mario adventure will leverage the potential of the Miiverse.
Nintendo took advantage of its press conference to show off the newest adventure for Mario.
Up to four players will be able to play the game with Wii remotes, but a fifth player can join in using the Wii U gamepad to place platforms in the game. You'll also be able to see messages from other players and friends in the Miiverse within the game world.
The onstage demo showed off a number of fun new features, including what looked like a flying squirrel suit, baby Yoshi blowing bubbles, super-sized goombas and other enemies, and the expected mix of new levels and challenges.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription.

We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.

We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk.
