New Super Mario Bros. U Announced

June 5, 2012

Nintendo has just formally announced New Super Mario Bros. U for the Wii U. It looks to expand upon the Wii's New Super Mario Bros. with new forms of gameplay, such as boosting where you can place blocks on the run, and a flying squirrel suit for moving around obstacles.

Little was shown during the short demonstration, but four-player co-op—which I'm sure many of you consider competitive—is confirmed. A release date is unconfirmed but a release date on or around launch is suggested.

Although Jonathan Leack began covering the gaming industry in 2009, his earliest roots date back to 2004 when he wrote his first of many reviews to come. Equipped with a B.S. in Computer Information Systems and several information technology certifications, he provides a unique perspective that is technological and business conscious. Having acquired the role of Executive Editor in 2016, his mission is to make GameRevolution a gaming site that thoughtfully considers the consumer perspective, and has a knowledgeable presence of PC gaming, console, hardware, and eSports coverage.
