Nintendo have announced the next game in the Mario franchise – New Super Mario Bros. U.
The title was confirmed at Nintendo’s E3 2012 press conference and will contain a selection of Wii U/Miiverse based features such as score and time attack based bragging (not unlike EA’s Autolog). Toad, Luigi and Mario were all featured in the footage as Nintendo promised five player gameplay, smooth Gamepad to tv transfer and a new ‘boost mode’. The fifth player will apparently be given control over the environment itself, allowing them to place obstacles and traps on the fly.
There’s no confirmed release date for New Super Mario Bros. U yet, but we’ll keep you updated.
