For those of you who are genuinely looking forward to Nintendo’s upcoming platformer-reimagining New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii, you have a serious question to ask yourself right now: Do you or do you not want to see how to beat the final level/boss of the game? I’ll let that sink in for a second, so that you don’t rush into anything you’ll regret later and then blame me for…
Ok. So Nintendo Everything has posted a video that shows off the final level of NSMB being played in the new Super Guide mode, which basically lets you watch the game play itself while you have a snack or something. It’s a full run through of the level, so if you watch the video, you will know exactly how to beat the final section, and you’ll know exactly what happens after you do so. I’ve posted the video after the jump so that you don’t see even the slightest glimpse of a spoiler unless you decide that’s what you want.
My other reason for doing this is to get a quick and dirty estimate on how you all feel about game spoilers. This latest example might not carry the weight or significance that the leaked airport sequence from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 did, but it still represents the same idea. Why are people so eager to ruin game narratives/sequences/twists/etc.? Is itt because the Internet just makes it so easy? Are you someone who prefers to find out about a game’s story before you play it, or do you prefer to let the story unfold before your eyes as you play?
Do you feel differently about movies, novels, or TV shows? Would you gladly spoil MW2 for someone, but smash your face into a wall if someone told you how the last season of your favorite show ended before you'd had a chance to watch it? If so, why the double standard?
I’m fully aware that I’m being somewhat hypocritical here, criticizing people for spoiling game stories while including a video that does just that, but I’m doing it to see just how serious you all are about your stance on this issue. Granted, no one is playing NSMB for the story, and the “spoiler” isn’t surprising in the least, but you see my point.
SPOILERS AFTER THE BREAK! If you don't want to see even a frame of the video, scroll to the bottom of the page immediately once you click through, and you should be spoiler-free and ready to comment on how pure of heart you are.
How many of you watched the video? Were you shocked and appalled?

People complain about spoilers on the internet all the time.For me its plain and simple. Don't watch the video leak and nothing will be spoiled.Its not like some ones got a gun to you noggin.

Classic Mario inspired games are the ONLY reason to own a Wii.
But there aren't enough of them yet to make me want to buy one.
But this looks awesome and Super Paper Mario and Mario Kart were awesome!

That It? The level should be longer. Any way it on my wii list when i get the wii when the wii and 360 are much last $$$.

People make such a big deal over spoilers. I really think it's to garner attention rather than an actual feeling of being let down or whatever for having seen/heard the spoiler.
Sort of like the baby who won't stop crying when there is nothing wrong - it gets their parents' attention. Grow up, children.

As long as there is the interwebs, there will be the spoilers. For those things that I don't want spoiled, I don't go looking for info. Someone mentioned a wiki page with leaked info on AC2, I won't be seeing it because I'm not actively searching for information on it. It's really not hard to avoid spoilers when you set your mind to it.

I don't like leaks or spoilers much. I mean, I'm paying $50-$60 for one game only for someone else to tell me how to beat it. Otherwise, it takes all the fun out of trying to figure it out for myself. The only reason I'd watch one was if I have tremendous difficulty beating it and needed to see how it was done the right way.

I usually only avoid spoilers to games im really looking forward to or games that really emphasize story and characters like Brutal Legend. While most other games like mario are usually about experiencing the gameplay yourself so i dont really mind the spoilers.

looks like it's going to be a pain, but how will that fight go with 4 people on screen at once, I mean as long as one person stays a head you win the game.

looks like it will require a bit of practice but it looks doable, then again I'm a pretty committed gamer, this probably won't go over too well with all those "casual" gamers the Wii tried selling itself to, but then again I'm sure it will sell well, after all it seems Nintendo published games are really the only kind of games that do well on the Wii

Whoever was playing that must have practiced that forever o.o

leaks.... really suck.... i saw a wiki page spoiling ac2 the what i belive 2 be the end of the game... and its not even out yet... was must we as a culture do this... it kinda ruined it for me ill still buy and play the game im just really let down.... i dont mind speculating about it.... but reading and hearing r kinda to different things if someone said it to me.... i would be convince that they are lieing just to ruin the game.... but reading or in the above case watching.... y would u undermine your own work.... it just dont make sense... i wish there was something that we as a community could do to stop this...

THAT is awesome. That brings back everything I miss about SNES Mario and makes my old school gamer's heart joyous.
Please fellow gamers, PLEASE make this game successful as all hell so that we may see a resurgence in the old school goodness.
