Wireless two-player head-to-head action, minigames for up to four players confirmed.

It's been a while since Nintendo last mentioned New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS, but the latest issue of Famitsu gives some fresh details on the latest adventure for the plumbing pair.

For the first time in a side-scrolling Mario game, New Super Mario Bros. will let two gamers play simultaneously. The game's producer, Tezuka Takushi, explained in the article that simultaneous play wasn't really possible in past side-scrolling Mario games because both players had to be restricted to the same screen, a problem the DS gets around nicely with its two screens and wireless capabilities. While players can work together to achieve their goals in this mode, Tezuka said that the two-player action will be primarily competitive.

The game limits the versus mode to two players, but Tezuka said that there will also be minigames that can be played by up to four players. In addition to original minigames, Tezuka also hopes to port the minigames from Super Mario 64 on the DS, albeit with some tunings to make them enjoyable for multiplayer competition.

Sounds good, isn't it feasible to make it wi-fi as well if they can do this?

Hmmm... I suppose that single-card multi-player would be wishful thinking...

Your thoughts?

It sounds pretty cool. I can't wait to finally be able to use my DS online.

It looks like there is also going to be multiplayer options in Resident Evil Deadly Silence. Whether it is WiFi or not I don't know.

Quote from IGN article:

And though we can't talk about specifics yet, we did experience the multiplayer functionality within Resident Evil: Deadly Silence. It was working in the build we played…we're just not allowed to say anything about it yet.

That sounds great. I can't wait for Mario Brothers DS.
I'm really looking forward to 4 player shell bowling. I was addicted to that minigame for a long time.

I do hope this is WiFi and not just local multiplayer. Would love to play some 2 player Mario with my buds across the country!

Release for this seeming like Summer or Fall of 06?

I want WiFi.

I don't even have it yet and it's already spoiled me. XD
