www.the-magicbox.com has some new screens, and I was able to find scans of the two games bits from Famitsu on a French GCN site...     So, you can guys can ooo and aaahh and wish you bought a DS already (like I'm wishing I did right now  ). Mario and Luigi 2, if you haven't heard, is now subtitled "Partners in Time." The story follows that UFOs are attacking the Mushroom Kingdom of the past, which disrupts for flow of time for baby Peach, baby Mario and Luigi, and, of course, baby Bowser (who looks more like Jr. than he ever did...). This causes the older Bros. to be sent back in time to save the day, and prevent the future from being ruined by the invaders. Note: If you look in the screen of the castle, Toadsworth is a heckuva lot younger looking  I thought that was a cool touch As for Peach's game, I can't find the screens now, but the story follows that Bowser, for the..third? time kidnaps Mario, Luigi and TOAD (!!! I hope it's THE Toad! I want him back so badly). Peach falls for the lure, and heads out to stop him. On the way, she finds a magical parasol and gains the ability to use four different special hearts: The Happy Heart, the Joy Heart, the Angry Heart, and the Sad Heart. Each gives her a diferent ability, ranging from self-healing to crying fountains of tears. The character design seems to be taken from Yoshi's Island, looking at the enemies, so I'll be surprised to see how the game goes. But it's definitely teasing me to buy a DS...

Interesting finds there. I've been anticipating M&L 2 for a while now. Super Princess Peach is starting to look interesting too.

I haven't realized that Peach has a BIG crown!
Well, I may buy M&L2, But I don't know for Super Princess Peach... Now I have Luigi's game, Yoshi's, Wario's, and I doubt if I'm going to collect more of these.
But I still can't see what I look forward: New SMB and Mario Kart DS!

Why did they have to give Baby Bowser a bib? Can't they at least make Jr. and Baby Bowser look a little different?
Unless, of course, that provides a plotline - perhaps Bowser and Jr. travel to the past, too, and Baby Bosesr and Jr. get mixed up, with "hilarious" consequences.
Both games look great - I was always going to get M&L2, anyway, but Super Princess Peach is looking quite cool, too. Just one question - what do the three toads in the top left corner of SPP mean?

Oooh...
Aaah...
;D
Well, like many here, I have been looking forward to M&L:PiT for some time now, and these new screenshots just make me want it more.
Something I will definitely be wanting to get when it comes out in Australia.
As for SPP...
Can't say I wanted it before, but it does look like some good ol' 2D platforming with classic Mario enemies, and that's something I do enjoy... I'll have to keep an eye on it and see if it's any good...

I am now completely sold to Super Princess Peach, it looks just like how a new Mario 2D plataformer should look (sorry New Super Mario Bros, but this game looks much prettier), M&L 2 I was already going to get it, but every time it looks better (Aliens! Time Traveling, I wish there where more comedy centered RPG´s)

Awesomeness! Both of these games will be heartily absorbed into my collection.

To be honest, I was never really interested in Super Princess Peach, but now I realize... it's a platformer. From Nintendo. Well, that's enough reason for me to buy it.
And M&L2 of course... well, I can't say much about that but I'm definately getting that game too.

Great, time-travelling plumbers. Just when I'd recovered from the headache caused by trying to make sense of TS:FP's time travelling escapades, this game comes along.
Thanks, nintendo!!

Seems like every Mario character is getting their own spin-off series. What's next? Super Fawful?

Ugh. Don't even get me started on Petey Piranha. But, unfortunately, he seems to be becoming a staple in the Mario sports series.
Why not someone cool, like Eggplant Man? Now that'd be awesome.

I wouldn't mind Petey being in all these games if he'd just throw up a lot more. It's what he's best at!

I thought that was a cool touch
