A quickie for you here. Emerging information suggests that the new Super Mario Bros game for Nintendo's DS will be more than a money-spinning cash-in, with various source claiming the Italian plumbers will have access to around 80 levels of cooperative gaming glory.
As you'll be aware, New Super Mario Bors, as the game is still officially titled by Nintendo, promises to be a true flagship platformer, offering a beautiful DS-to-DS spin on a formula that has defined a genre for two decades.
Although this falls short of the glory that was the 96 levels of Super Nintendo Super Mario World, the stage is without doubt set for a return to form that has fans awash with love-drops at the prospect of what spiritually is the successor to the 16-Bit monument of gameplay.
In related news, various sources state that Bowser Jnr. is a mini-boss, the game is littered with Warp Zones, there are various Ghost Houses and the Hammer Bros are frequent enemies on map screens.
