New Super Mario Bros. U

This is the new Super Mario Bros. game.

Ooo, they fly.

This is for the new Nintendo system coming out this fall.

Just in time for Christmas. Yeah, now this is like what I remember watching you guys when you were little playing. I think I could handle this one a little bit.

Does it look very different from what we played?

No. You still jump on mushrooms and bricks. I play this [she’s talking about New Super Mario Bros. Wii] with Masimo [a little boy she babysits], and he gets mad at me because I keep dying real fast. I don’t know on the controls what goes this way or that way. They should make a senior citizens controller.

What would that be like?

Umm…large buttons, and it tells you left, right, up, down, jump, walk…there should be a little ear piece that you put in you ear, and it’ll say, “Jump now!”

[I begin laughing.]

Or, “Don’t go there, go over here!”

[The trailer ends.]

That’s cute.

You like that one?

Yeah.
