Perhaps unsurprisingly, Moore announced that the game would be getting an expansion later in the year and dropped some details about what it will include.

The Koopa Kids return in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. It’s about time the Koppa Kids make an appearance. Where have they been all this time? Here’s a screenshot of one of the Koopa Kids in action…

New Super Mario Bros. looks to be a multiplayer experience. Graphics look really kinetic, and heavily inspired by the smooth animations like that of New Super Mario Bros. from the Nintendo DS, only a bit more polished. The stage looks just like the original Super Mario Bros. on the NES…

Wii consoles are the hottest systems on Earth right now, with more than 2 million sold in the month of November 2008 alone. Wii games and benefits are also costly, including the old original Nintendo games for virtual consoles. However, for a small bit of time and patience, you can unlock your wii console quickly and easily enough to play import and back up games, Homebrew applications, and even browse the internet without the internet fee.

Using simple Homebrew installers and basic hacks will unlock your Wii so that you can safely play popular old school games, and new ISO’s and back up games without paying for an expensive mod chip. Be aware that mod chips are risky to install and installing a mod chip might result in damages to your system. Popular titles such as Super Mario Galaxy can be played through a back up copy at little or no cost to you!

Even those who enjoy playing video games from time to time know what a hassle it is when their software becomes damaged. Most of the time games have to feel the wear and tear of life. After a period video games that have cost a fortune can’t even be utilized anymore. Is paying those high prices for your favorite games worth it? It absolutely is, but it isn’t worth only being able to play those games for a moderate amount of time. Making backups of your favorite Nintendo Wii games is the only worthwhile solution to this horrible truth. A dream has become reality. It is now possible to make copies of your Wii games easily!

One of the most exciting new video consoles on the market is without a doubt Nintendo Wii. The games are accessible through the use of a disc, and anyone who has ever used CD’s, DVD’s, or CD-Rom software knows that it is incredibly hard to keep the discs from getting damaged. No matter how hard people try to be careful with them, it seems the slightest contact can grind damaging scratches into the software. Considering that the cost of these games are quite expensive, making a backup seems like the only logical choice.

Nintendo made some of the best classic games, but give these a try and see why they can still work.

Gunstar Heroes
First released in 1993, this quirky game is well-loved for its exciting running and shooting action and its non-stop intense gameplay. You’ll also like the game’s manga-style look and the guns that could be mixed and matched to create your very own custom-designed shooter. Choose from a flamethrower, a homing shot, a machine gun and a laser. But no matter how big your gun gets, your enemies either multiply or get bigger themselves, so you never run out of challenges.

If you enjoyed the arcade games of the past like Street Fighter II and Contra, you’ll like this game even better. The levels, thankfully enough, are brief so you’re not stuck with long-winding stages of mindless gunplay. Two players can also play simultaneously.

Trauma Center: Second Opinion
If you’ve played Trauma Center before, you’ve probably met Dr. Derek Stiles, who just completed his residency. The story progresses through text dialogue and still images, but it’s interesting enough with the incorporation of some serious material, like euthanasia to suicidal patients. As Dr. Derek Stiles, you are gifted with the Healing Touch.

In the world you will inhabit, forces that point to bioterrorism are threatening the world with an epidemic. You will be performing surgery on patients, although it’s not as gory as you might think. You get to use a multiple array of surgical tools through the analog stick of the Wii’s nunchuk attachment. And it’s not just about surgery. You do have to mind your patient’s health – if their heart stops, you have to do something. This game isn’t easy so you’ll be challenged throughout.
