New Super Mario Bros. Wii Review - LAG

LAG - "New Super Mario Bros. Wii was release towards the end of 2009 for the Nintendo Wii. It is a sequel to the Nintendo DS game, New Super Mario Bros., and features gameplay elements similar to that game. It is also the first 2D Mario Platformer to appear on a home console since the SNES era. Even though this game is very similar to previous 2D Mario games, New Super Mario Bros. Wii is still a great game and has some new and improved features to offer."

This game is all kinds of awesome!

eagle214609d ago (Edited 4609d ago )

It sure is! This game is my second favorite 2D Mario game ever (the writer said it was his third). It's that good. I absolutely enjoy the way Mario moves or responds to the controls. It's sort of like controlling the 3D Mario in 2D. Addictive, fun, and challenging to get all the Star coins. It's almost perfect. I want a new one on 3DS and Wii U...lol. I have over 100 hours clocked on my Wii for this one game. I want to beat it 100% ever time I start a new file.

I am very impressed with the level designs. I seriously love the castles (mid castles and main in each world). The ghost houses were clever as well. At first I was like, I hope it has the magic...then about 2 worlds in.....I was like......Nintendo did it again!

To core gamers; buy this game and play through each and every level without warps. Go after/collect all Star Coins. You won't regret it.....22 million sales and counting. Well deserved.

This is the first Mario game that I couldn't beat it 100% I just couldn't do it. Is really hard to get all the coins

mike1up4609d ago

Very well said.

It's my second favorite 2D Mario game too (second only to Super Mario World).

krontaar4609d ago

little late on that review, but I guess it coincides with the name of the website...

KidMakeshift4608d ago

I hate that most 1st party nintendo games never become cheap. Their greatest hits line is so bare minimum and we had to wait like 4 years for the first batch of titles.

Seriously, like every game is still $40 plus

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__324d 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.

Asplundh324d 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.

Profchaos324d 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.

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.”
