May 16^th, 2005 (10:49pm) - For the longest time Nintendo fans have been clamoring for a new 2D Super Mario game in the same style of the classic NES and Super NES games that made Mario the gaming icon that he is today. Well, fans will be getting exactly what they wanted with NEW Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS and thankfully the game will make its playable debut at E3.

While details about the game’s single-player modes are unavailable, we can confirm that the game will include multiplayer modes that will support four or more players wirelessly. Additionally, the game has received a visual overhaul since we last saw footage of it during last year’s E3.

Hopefully, we’ll have some more concrete information from Nintendo’s pre-E3 press conference, which happens tomorrow.
