New Super Mario Bros Release Date

[lazyfatbum]

You've probably seen it already in the news, but the upcoming Nintendo Power shows the New SMB for release on May 7th. There hasn't been a new 2-D Mario for quite some time, but this one looks like its going to catch up on that. It's a mixture of Mario 64 and Sunshine graphics and art styles with gameplay taken from every Mario game and streamlined in to a completely new experience. What excites me the most is that the ability to grow and the fireflowers are back, not to mention the level of difficulty returning to its roots, leave it to Nintendo to remmind us why we love Mario.

In other news, happy 20th birthday Link! :D
