And yes, I'm a member (as well as my twin, LeftyGreenMario) of the team, for quite some time before its official announcement (like months) as one of the 3D modelers so I've known about this for a while. The stage of this hack is still in very early beta, so there's not much I can say about our progress right now.

The level editor being used for this is called "Satoru", it's a branch of Reggie NSMBU.

You can ask questions I guess, but don't be surprised if I can't answer any of them (especially WHEN WILL THIS HACK BE RELEASED!!!) :P

I'll post official updates here when they come around.
 
Looks pretty good so far! :D

Can't wait to see new locations and music that isn't the same as New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
 
So Wii U modding is really starting to show it's potential to even catch up with the Wii?

Nice. Though on the other hand I hope there'll be a way to system transfer from Wii U to NX before I get in on it, just like I did with my Wii.
 
this looks pretty decent actually

It's even easier to mod the Wii U imo. The files are easier to edit and I feel like there are less restrictions overall. For example, Mario Kart 8 doesn't need to use a .brsar-like file to patch the music anymore, and in Smash for Wii U, you can actually add color swaps to your characters and music to your stages rather than in Brawl where you usually need to replace them. The only reason it's difficult now is that we're just starting to understand the formats, but once we receive a tool that can do things in the same caliber as say, BrawlBox, the potential is even bigger than the Wii.

Are worlds going to be gargantuan, like they were in Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii? Is there potential for ~~~secret worlds~~~?

Oh yes, I think the worlds will be pretty big, though it's dependent on how many levels will be made for it. I don't know if we'll get world as large as World 2 of Newer though, even I think it's a bit too big.

Secret worlds are a real possibility, yes.

I hear you can do some pretty cool things with what we have right now. For instance, if I recall correctly, MrRean told me that you can change the objects within a level without it affecting other levels (for example, you can change the Goomba around in 1-1 and it won't affect the Goombas in the other levels). Though you can't do the same to music. Either way, that's verrrry interesting.

Again, if you're a Mario fan, go and play Newer Super Mario Bros. if you haven't already, especially if you want to see new world themes that aren't the tired grass-desert-whatever.

They even have Shy Guys.
 
Also Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii is actually challenging in a good way and it actually doesn't patronise you with bullshit Super Guides and it's probably the best game with the New graphics and such and it's not even an official game.
 
Newer SMBWii had some cleverly used ideas too (I remember that tower with the screen wrapping was cool), a nice overworld map, great music and some actually fairly well hidden Star Coins/pathways, also actually liked that they made the Star Coins useful!

Question, do you know if you'll need a channel similar to Homebrew or Riivolution to play this mod on your Wii U? Or would it be easily accessible through an exploit, like Loadiine for example?
