I looked for a thread but stopped cause I'm lazy.

I believe this shit is out Sunday and this video from the guys at Giant Bomb has now completely sold me on it.

"I work with assholes." Looks like crazy, stupid fun.

The fact I'm going to trade in two games I don't even touch anymore and get this for $9.99 tomorrow makes me giddy.

Can't speak for others, but getting a new Super Mario game turns into an event for me. Once I get my copy, I'll be locked in the house for the next few days...

Not to hijack the thread, but .... don't know if anyone has a Fry's near them, but their ad in this Friday's LA Times has it for $39.99, which is the lowest price I have seen.

Damn I wish I were near a Fry's. This is one of the few games I'd hop on for $40 at this point.

To anyone who gets this... How is single player? Multi, however great it is, is just a bonus for me. I'm all about the single player SMB experience.

This is a game that will destroy friendships and families. Awesome.

A lot of the videos coming out of Japan were showing people playing in a very polite manner. Yeah, that shit doesn't happen in real life. It's all about being as big an asshole as possible because that makes it way more fun. And you know that their waiting to do the same.

We only played some two player today, but with 4, I can imagine it is apeshit crazy. Very fun, very insane, lots of yelling and cursing and blame being passed around...goddamn, this game is hella fun.

I do, however, have a huge problem with having to use the Wiimote and the retarded use of waggle in the game. Not needed and sucks balls.

Yeah I guess the waggle causes spin jumping. This should have been waggle-free, although I hear tilt controls are used somewhat-cleverly. No option for classic controller is a bit of a drag.

The tilt is the best use of it, but I would GLADLY sacrifice it for being able to use the classic controller. Having to use the 1 button plus waggle to pick shit up is super annoying.

My wife is picking this and Indiana Jones 2 up today. Can't wait to see both of them. Oh, and my wife and son too, I guess.

Tried this one at the store (dont have a wii) with coworkers yesterday...it took 2 minutes for everyone to go into asshole mode.
And it was great.

I played this off-and-on throughout the Thanksgiving holiday. SO much fun, but I prefer the single player to the multiplayer, which is totally fucking maddening.

I love how multiplayer was designed to be as cooperative as possible, just makes everyone hate each other. My wife and I can't play it together anymore as the phrase "hey, you just stole my fucking Ice Flower," was being uttered way too often by both sides.

I've found myself purposefully nudging people off of cliff edges. Why? Why the fuck not, that's why! This will test friendships, of that I am sure.

They have a special place in hell for people like you.

Imagine what this would have been like if there had be public co-op like some people wanted?

Oh man, and what if the Wii had voice chat too. I'd give anything to experience the joy of having Toad call me a niggerfaggot for taking the goddamn fucking gay ass mushroom you piece of bullshit ARRGGH

That's what I meant. People would have been literally murdering each other over this.

Love this damn game. Although I have yet to try multi player. Going back to rescue the Toads is a pain in the fuckin' ass though.

In my house, this happens as well.

"Wait wait, I need that mushroom...FUCK! THANKS!"
"Sorry! I wasn't trying to get it! I didn't bitch when you took both fire thingies last time!"

This game is near impossible to find right now. I think I checked six different stores today. Finally I just ordered it online.

Made it to world 8, but haven't finished it yet. Have to find the time to play to try and finish it.

This game is great but its pretty easy to get pissed off at it. Not to mention when you play it with your friends. I think this is going to destroy relationships.

Agreed, it's pretty much a profanity generator. If it wasn't for the wrist strap, I would have gone through 5 remotes by now.

In the middle of World 7. Fun game, even though it leaves me furious.

Thank goodness the Wii-motes are pretty tough. I've slammed or thrown mine on the floor at least a dozen times. Then my wife rolls her eyes and drums her fingers while she waits for me to put the batteries back in and connect it again. However, she almost threw hers the other night. So she's starting to get frustrated as well.

Am I getting old or is this game really fucking hard? I want to corral the level designers in a windowless room and light it on fire.

My wife said that over and over again the first few times we played. "This game is really hard! Why is it so hard?"

For anyone getting severely frustrated at the difficulty of the first eight worlds, don't even bother with world 9. I managed (despite lots of cursing) to complete the main game and managed to get all of the bonus coins. But world nine? That fucker is horrendous. It's almost impossible to get through some of those levels without even trying for the bonus coins.

Still love the game, though.

Made it through the first eight worlds with a buddy, then world nine opened up and... we stopped. It'll take a long cooling down period before we even attempt those levels.

Haha. Okay, so it isn't just me finding the game very punishing.

I don't know if he's new to the series, but the boo with the boxing gloves is fantastic. Just his reaction after you jump on him once has instantly made him one of my favorite enemies.

Personally, I like that this is challenging. After the first couple worlds I was wondering what the deal was with the high review scores, as it felt more like a big WiiWare title. Things get a lot more punishing(and creative) later on. That's single player though. Two or more* players and the game is pure evil.

*The most I've played with is 3, and it was chaos.

Yeah, the girlfriend and I may need counseling now if we're to stay together after six years. Thanks to this fucking game.

And we're only on level two. Y'all have me terrified with your talk of levels eight, nine & whatnot. It makes me think if we keep going we'll devolve into the hellish chaos glimpsed in that video log in Event Horizon.

Just wait until the two of you are running for your lives from giant Bowser. That'll show you whether it's meant to last.

This beat the combined sales of Modern Warfare 2 in December. The Wii itself also sold 3.8 million units, which is the single-month record for console sales by at least a million. Craaaaaaazy.

Finally beat World 8 over the weekend. Fun stuff. I tried going through the first level of World 9, and just laughed. Ridiculous.

Anybody else "beat" it yet?

I didn't really try to get all of the coins, so no world 9 for me, but the finale is so awesome, especially with a bunch of people.
