AC: New Super Mario Bros. Wii Review

At this year's E3, when Nintendo announced New Super Mario Bros. Wii, the world was struck with awe. Gamers were pulled back in time to the days of classic 2D Mario gameplay. They saw images of themselves searching vainly for that Star block their friends had
Game Title: New Super Mario Brothers Wii told them about on 1-1. They saw themselves pulling up turnips as Princess Peach in Super Mario Bros. 2. They recalled their amazement at the 'giant world' in Super Mario Bros. 3. They smiled at the recollection of meeting Yoshi for the first time in Super Mario World. They sighed warmly at the thought of New Super Mario Bros. in their DS. It was a time of reliving, and rebirth for the Nintendo gaming community. Well, here we have what Nintendo promised us all those months ago. Was it worth all that reminiscing?

FinalomegaS5307d ago

0.1 from 100

hmm guess it's because of the no playable peach : )

Monteblanco5307d ago

Impressive how a reviewer can be so precise to state this game is one centesimal point from perfection :). Numerical scores can only be regarded as a joke.

EvilTwin5307d ago

Certainly better than what Edge gave it:

I can't imagine a game that is more clear at what it's going to give people. This is a Mario platformer for anyone who grew up loving Mario platformers. Count me in.

FinalomegaS5307d ago

going to get it day1,

November is packed for me,

COD:MW2
L4D2
NSMBW2

*needs to finish Borderlands before new .. games.. comes. out!!!*

TheBand1t5307d ago

Who cares what Edge thinks?

mastiffchild5307d ago

Well, usually7 I don't give two craps what they say but you must remember that AC could ve ANYONE and EDGE are historically MASSIVE Nintendo fanboys.

Personally I'm just not sure more of what we used to love is enough but I'll have to see for myself. Nostalgia tends to pall rather quickly for me in this day and age.

n4f5307d ago

but im pretty sure its because yoshi doesnt stay with you at the end of the stage.
sorry to burst people's bubble in thinking that yoshi would stay with you. and also doesnt do the same effect in super mario world

wollie5307d ago

so....

LPB - (online multiplayer) - (user created levels) - (amazing graphics) + (MARIO, LUIGI, 2*TOAD) = 99?

interesting.

Knghtz5307d ago

Yup, it's that simple.

Nice work trolling, though.

Knghtz5307d ago

quality = quantity obviously

NecrumSlavery5307d ago

Of course, just irks me most gret nintendo games never exceed 6hours.

Rock on Mario...!!!

ozstar5307d ago (Edited 5307d ago )

Are you serious? So your not going to buy a Mario game, the first 2D Mario since SMW, because of a reviewer who SPEED RAN the game?

Just don't bother with us please.

This link is a 1 minute speed run of a level in World 7 - http://gameinformer.com/gam...

If you honestly believe this is how you would play a Mario game, basically by ignoring the exploration and play mechanics hidden in a level, your not very imaginative and your def. not interested in Mario games.

Xander-RKoS5307d ago

Also, Super Mario Galaxy, get 120 stars, go on, I dare you and tell me it took 6 hours.

Metroid Prime 1,2, and 3 are easily 12 hours are more.

Twilight Princess, not sure, but definitely more than 6.

Goodbye New Mario, I Won't Miss You

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest324d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

__SteakDeck__323d ago

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic324d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

Asplundh323d ago

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

Juancho51324d ago

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos323d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz323d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game

shinoff2183323d ago

I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh

Super Mario U is a great one that reminds me alot of Super Mario World on snes. When ran in 4k@60fps on pc, it's hard not to love it.

89% Metacritic another stellar creative game.

SkatterBrain1783d ago (Edited 1783d ago )

Well if Little Big Planet went 3d with Dreams then I guess marios going 3D maker next, looking forward to that

King_Noctis1783d ago (Edited 1783d ago )

I think going forward it would be redundant to have another NSMB game on the Switch as the Mario Maker series can accomplish almost anything the NSMB series have level-wise.

jjb19811783d ago

Could you imagine a Mario 64 maker? Phenomenal.

Jin_Sakai1782d ago (Edited 1782d ago )

I’d rather have a Zelda Maker. The dungeon builder on the new upcoming Zelda: Links Awakening looks like a testing ground.

https://screenrant.com/link...

Aonuma hinted at the possibility of Chamber Dungeons evolving into a Zelda Maker game in an interview with Kotaku during E3. Reporter Jason Schreier asked Aonuma directly if a Zelda Maker was in the cards, to which Aonuma replied:

“I can’t predict the future, but if people do love this idea of arranging dungeons, I’ll keep that in mind going forward.”
