NintendoDpad: New Super Mario Bros. Wii Review

NintendoDpad writes:
"All in all though, this is one of the best Mario experiences we have played. Everything you loved about older Mario platformers has been put into the game, meaning you will be playing this game for a very long time, if not forever. This game is so great it makes you wonder why it took Nintendo 15+ years to put another 2D Mario on a home console."

What a great game. So many secrets in this game too. So much fun.

Gr815285d ago

I was planning on getting Reflex, but I just had to have this game. Shame it won't get even an acknowledgement for GOTY. But who cares really that's all a bunch of BS any way.

I will be getting reflex soon though (Thanks for the PM) and I'll shoot you my FC's via PM.

This game makes you question gaming. How can a 2d game like this be just as much fun as a 3d blockbuster?
Nintendo did a great job for this.

Goomba125285d ago

thats because video games are not changing no matter how much people want it to.

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?

specialguest318d 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

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic318d ago

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

Asplundh317d ago

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

Juancho51318d ago

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

Profchaos318d 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

Outlawzz317d 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

shinoff2183317d 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.

SkatterBrain1777d ago (Edited 1777d ago )

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

King_Noctis1777d ago (Edited 1777d 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.

jjb19811777d ago

Could you imagine a Mario 64 maker? Phenomenal.

Jin_Sakai1776d ago (Edited 1776d 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.”
