March of the Minis. Genius.

The Nintendo DS follow-up to the GBA's Mario vs. Donkey Kong is due out on 9th March, Nintendo said this morning.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis has been around on import for a while, but this will still be good news for those of you still hanging on for, I dunno, a slightly fatter box.

The puzzle-based sequel features touch-screen control to aid accessibility throughout is 80 levels, while Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection allows you to compete with other players in levels you've created.

As well as sending and receiving levels from chums using the Friend Code system, you'll be able to download custom-made levels from anyone in the world. Nintendo reckons Wi-Fi Connection has more than two million unique users.

Look out for a review of Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 in the near future.

@Stu.
Really?
Metacritic says 77% average score, with the lowest being 60%.
I passed on it when my local Indie store got the US version in though, there was just other more interesting stuff out at the time (I think).

What was so bad about it?

Uninteresting fact: At number 16 in the GAME DS chart (in Brighton anyway) is 42 All Time Classics - in a slimline US box.

My partner in crime completed it, and she's rubbish at games.

Never been surer. I was looking forward to it hugely too, I *adore* the previous two games, so I tried really hard to like it. But it couldn't be liked, by either me or Mr Walker of this parish.

I'm rather enjoying it myself. It's a bit like lemmings.

Well put. Doing a level perfectly can be quite hard, and is the only way to properly enjoy the game, IMHO.

Stu says it's rubbish.. But he's up his own arse, So therefor, It's probably worth getting.

Thanks! I'll put it on pre-order.

Seriously smelly, it's mediocre - a flattering description, I'm afraid. My 6 yr old niece loves it though.

The fact you are still posting suggests you do indeed care. You care about all of us. In fact, you love us.

It's good. But not as good as the first one. The indirect control via the stylus takes away from it's immediate charm I feel, but give it time and it's good. It certainly is not rubbish that's for sure.
