It is a bit weird that more people aren't jazzed for this.
Is it the same as the DS version? I got 100% on that one and don't want to do it all over again.
It's so refreshing when you see a game preview video where the player is actually good at it.

Those are in game movies that you buy with star coins. If you ever played Donkey Kong Jungle Beat its similar to the TRY THIS! clips that you showed you how to get higher scores.

It's easy in NSMB Wii. You just hit pause and then select the "win" option so the game will do it for you. :drake

Based on Nintendo's recent track record maybe many people are expecting it to just be okay, or to require multiplayer to be any good.
If this is classic SMB and doesn't need multiplayer to be awesome, I am there.
wow, looks pretty awesome. I could never pull that crazy shit off though :lol
reminds me of asshole mario:

Music aside, which isn't too good, the game seems like it's going to be awesome. I read previews and a lot of them shared my problems with NSMB DS and mentioned how this game fixes a lot of those problems are is more like SMB3. It's also supposed to be really hard. It is a bit weird that more people aren't jazzed for this. I mean, I had to bump the damn gaf thread once to mention the previews that compared it to SMB3.
Wish it was 60fps, otherwise it looks good.
In fact I remember at the Roundtable during E3 where someone asked "Is New Super Mario Bros. Wii going to be as easy as New Super Mario Bros. DS. And I think I said that I wouldn't be. What I think we've created this time is pretty difficult.
Final score - 96%
- “timeless Mario magic is present”
- “looks and sounds incredible”
- “starts easy, ends hard as nails”
- would have liked more Yoshi

Oh man, if this were in the Paper Mario style :drool
I still don't get the NSMB DS hate.
Meh. I had fun with it. It was not in the league of SMB3 or Yoshi's Island, but that was fine with me.I still don't get the NSMB DS hate.
Could be because it's garbage
Super Mario Bros. 3, while one of the best platformers ever, is kinda meh both in music and style.
The only 2D Mario games that I've felt the completely fucking nailed style and music were World and Yoshi's Island.

I couldn't disagree more about SMB3. Actually, one of the big reasons I don't like World nearly as much is because both the music and style felt like a huge downgrade (despite being on more powerful hardware). I don't want to SMB3 was "dark" or anything like, but SMW felt like a kids cartoon compared to it. Things like World 7 and how it was like a jazzy industrial theme with throwbacks to the underground areas in SMB1 were amazing. And World 8 was just crazy. It's like your in hell, fighting off tanks to a heavy marching theme. SMB3 was so incredible. SMW is amazing too, don't get me wrong, but SMB3 is on another level. Yoshi's Island might be on that level.

I'm not trying to be all Nintendo-faggy, but is online really important for a game like this? I guess it'd be nice to have the option, but I think it kinda defeats the purpose of the way the multiplayer is supposed to be experienced.

Fighting game (especially Virtua Fighter) fans have used this excuse for years.

What's the soundtrack like?
I love it. It's a mixture of remixed New Super Mario Bros DS tracks, some old-school SMB and SMB3 tracks and some new stuff. The new track for the first underwater stage is one of the best tracks I've heard in a modern Mario game. It's right up there with some of the Galaxy stuff. Loved it.

Meh, I'm just not into online gaming period I guess. But yeah I agree with you guys, the option should be there.
There's completely different reasoning behind online regarding fighting games. It has very little to do with same room experience.
The problem is that many of us simply are adults and unless you are playing with your kids or something the local co-op experience is useless to me. And even more uselsss if I need 3 other people to play with.
It's as if they're intentionally making it harder for us to play them. Maybe that's the signal Nintendo is trying to send after all; we shouldn't be playing Mario period.
I don't know about that. I kinda get the feeling that they want parents to play with their kids or something like that. The super guide function is probably there so pa doesn't get angry and pull a switch on his boy.
The lag argument is always a bit silly to me especially when the online that has been implemented in fighting games currently is shitty no matter what. The vast bulk of people who play online fighting games aren't tournament level and the same goes with fps shooting games. All action games are better locally when it comes to latency but most people still want an online version in there.
The people who were doing the most arguing against it were just inflating their heads. It was only ever going to be a problem with a select niche of really hardcore gamers and that never excused the lack of the option for everyone else. Lag does severely fuck up the game, but nothing's changed for the people who really need to take issue with it. They've always played locally.
the big news is that they gave uncharted 2 a 9 so sony fans can finally shut the fuck up about edge.
seem pretty good scores this month, but what did Uncharted 2 have to do to earn a 10? I can't think of how they could have improved it.
So they kept their no 10 to a PS3 game streak alive?
I really don't agree with Edge's scores
They gave MGS4 an 8, and Halo 3 a 10/10? Halo 3 is perfection? I really don't see how that happens... MGS4 was one of the best games I have ever played for this console generation (Uncharted 2 took number one...), I liked Halo 3, but no way does it deserve a fucking 10.

Agreed. Although from what I've seen, I think the fighting games have done an especially bad job with their online net code and general functionality even compared to other genres.
I kinda doubt they put much time into SFIV's online. It's half-assed at best. KOF's is totally inexcusable.
It's not, but what I was trying to say is exactly what swaggaz said; I don't think they want to game with your adult friends over online, nor even give you the option, they want to force you to play with your wife and kids.
HOLY SHIT

I'm not exactly a fan of Gearbox, but I really don't think you can label this game "generic." I don't know if it's great or not since I haven't played it, but I know enough about it to know that it's something a bit special.
You're not going to goad me into defending the company, but your "generic American game" verdict seems completely off. No surprise there.

I am just tired of your BS. You're the reason I dislike this forum. Or else it would be kinda good.
Who the fuck cares about co-op in a MARIO game unless you're fucking 7 years old or have a kid/sibling anyways? Single player all the way.
How much extra stuff is in this game? I'm playing NSMB right now and it has its moments, but it's not "I wanna play this again" material.
It just doesn't look fun to play with others. I only see a generic 2D Mario game with added 3 players.
In LBP you can at least solve puzzles together and have player interaction.
Nintendo should've taken a different route with this game. The whole game and the graphics look very empty and boring to me.
don't know about the PS3 version or if it's online co-op there. PC version is local only and it's actually a pretty weird setup. I output the image to both my monitor and TV, then I played on my PC as a friend played with the 360 controller on the TV. I don't know if you can do two controllers since I didn't have two to try out.

You need to beef up your stats a bit before you can take on the final boss of evilbore.
Though his plumbing skills are rarely tested, Mario has often shown himself to be an expert architect. The games in both 2D and 3D are exemplars of pinpoint platforming, worlds constructed to lock perfectly with the parabola of each jump, the traction and momentum of Italian shoes. But there's something else, too - a rare joie de vivre - found in Mario's effusive yelps, in the irrepressible jollity of the world and, most of all, in the constant, enthusiastic invention. To put it more colloquially, Mario at his best has magic. And it's missing from NSMB Wii.

It's supposed to be 6-7 hours if you breeze through it (which is actually longer than the other 2D Mario games if you're doing the same thing). And I think 15-20 if you decide to get everything.

+Mario is an expert architect
+Jumps in a perfect parabola
+Italian shoes give Mario perfect traction
-Mario's plumbing skills rarely tested
-Lacking in joie de vivre
-Mario's Yelps insufficiently effusive
-Jollity of the world feels repressed
-Not inventive or magical
-No Mii support.
I don't have a problem necessarily when people use the word 'magic', but it's when you try and press that person to be more specific and they can't explain that gets my gears grindin.
I think "magic" more so covers a bunch of different things rather than simply 'good level design'
-surprises and unexpected happenings during the course of your game
-very subtle attention to detail
-innovation in gameplay mechanics
-etc.
I can usually tell why I like a game w/o resorting to 'magic' and I am one of the biggest nostalgia whores on EB.
"Magic" is fine. I'm sure they could have wasted space and the reader's time by describing it in more detail, but chances are people get what they are saying anyway.
If you're an average gamer dork giving your impressions of some game you played, it's fine if all you can say is "I dunno man, I'm just not feeling the magic". A professional reviewer ought to be able to actually dig deeper and analyze things, not just lean on their repressed-English-major skills.
The magic bit isn't even the worst part of that paragraph, though.QuoteThough his plumbing skills are rarely tested, Mario has often shown himself to be an expert architect.

It does have the best articles and doesn't devolve into top ten lists. Well, except for the "what we're playing" segment. But its just a little box.
Yeah, like I thought. They didn't like the graphics, the music, and seems like multi-player was just crammed in there, as opposed to being a conscientious decision from the start.
