New Super Mario Bros. - Wii

A few deaths were caused last night by Steph getting excited and moving the remote while jumping, which caused her to shoot straight up and hit a wall instead of arching right into a gear on a fortress level.

That was awesome.

This actually sounds pretty rad.

Hold 1+Waggle to pick up things.
Waggle to Fly.
Why not at least give the option to use the Classic jams and play it like a SNES Mario.

Ah well, would have been nice. Guess I'll be taking a pass on it, for now at least.

That's the thing. In SMB2 we could grab stuff with the B button, no big deal.

In SMB3 we could fily, with the A button, no big deal.

It's not game breaking yet, but just a facepalm issue.

It's well known that Nintendo has an aversion to making too much money or pleasing their customers as much as possible.

Waggle is of the Devil.

Waggle is fine in the right place. Tiger Woods, Wii Sports Tennis, etc. It's great there, and even pretty useful replicating pointing the gun offscreen to reload in stuff like House of the Dead. Although I eventually contracted that motion down to about a centimeter's (maybe?) worth of movement there.

There's no point to having it in Mario, though. I'm glad to hear it's not game-breaking, but its inclusion still puts Mario on the back burner for now.
