What will Super Mario U be like?

[RicardJulianti]

I'm thinking it won't be anything like Galaxy....when has Nintendo done what was expected of them? haha

They really only make sequels or use the same game mechanics when they didn't get all of their ideas out in the original game. If they stuck with the Galaxy concept, Mario U could have been ready at launch considering the gap. It might still be called Universe, but maybe instead of Galaxy-like world play, it goes into different dimensions/Universes with the gamepad displaying an alternate perspective or something like that.

I do agree that the "Year of Luigi" was possibly a hint at making the new Mario multiplayer. I could see them making Luigi a playable character for the 2nd player along the lines of the original SMB, but working in tandem. Of course, the game would be playable single player and without Luigi (or Mario), but there might be stars or something that are only accessible with the second player.

An open world Mushroom Kingdom would be amazing, and like 64.....there could be portals or something to trigger the alternate Universes. Dark world, paper world, doll world, normal, realism etc.

One thing is for sure, it will the most visually impressive Wii U game to date, much like Galaxy was for the Wii. E3 is gonna be awesome.
