Hands On: New Super Mario Bros Wii (resumeplay)

resumeplay - We all know what to expect when playing a new Mario game: great level design, catchy music, vibrant graphics and having to save that stupid Princess that always ends up getting captured (honestly if I were Mario I'd would of given up in the N64 days). One thing that is still relatively untouched in the Mario series is co-op. In recent iterations co-op has been a nice add on. This time however, co-op is this adventure's hook to get us all loving that chubby under-worked Plumber.

I so badly want to play this game, and I honestly do not give a crap about co-op.

Ziriux5314d ago

Exactly, if you want co op go play Gears of War, but you will not experience a man with a mustache.

njr5314d ago

Wow I had no idea it was coming out in under 2 weeks. That's nintendo for you, announcing games the year the release.

Saaking5314d ago

This game is going to awesome. Definitely one the best games this year, and probably the best on the Wii.

VenerableBmoney5314d ago

The DS version of this game is phenomenal and I can only imagine the power on the Wii. I don't own the console, but I might steal one from a 10 year old (or a 65 year old) to try this title out. ;)

mau645314d ago

i know it sounds confusing but this is an entirely new version of the game, not a port or anything along those lines.

Ziriux5314d ago

Yea the DS version is always my favorite one, simply because it's Mario on the go for me.

CheatsMcGee5314d ago

I don't know, co-op has always been a huge hook for me. While I can really get behind a great single player experience, but anytime I can play with my buddies makes it that much better.

Certain games should only be single player, that's obvious. Turn based RPGs don't work so well for multiplayer. A game such as Super Mario Bros.? Co-op is a must, and I'm glad that they added the feature into the Wii version.

Ziriux5314d ago

Indeed, this could be that one game my GF will enjoy with me.

Ziriux5314d ago

Love mario games, this one is a blast got my hands on it last week and Mario never fails to entertain me.

mau645314d ago

I'm so jealous of you right now.

Baross20255314d ago

I was excited about this until I heard about watch the AI play your game mode.

Smacktard5314d ago

Well obviously you don't know anything about the game at all then. Such as the fact that it's completely optional, and the option even only appears after 8 deaths.

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?

specialguest333d 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__332d ago

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic333d ago

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

Asplundh332d ago

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

Juancho51333d ago

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

Profchaos333d 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

Outlawzz332d 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

shinoff2183332d 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.

SkatterBrain1792d ago (Edited 1792d ago )

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

King_Noctis1792d ago (Edited 1792d 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.

jjb19811792d ago

Could you imagine a Mario 64 maker? Phenomenal.

Jin_Sakai1791d ago (Edited 1791d ago )

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

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.”
