Title: New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Post by: W7RE on Friday, November 13, 2009, 03:16:07 AM: I didn't see a thread dedicated to this, so I made one.

GiantBomb has a quick look here. (http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-new-super-mario-bros/17-1633/)

I haven't like Mario games much since they moved on to 3D. NSMB DS didn't seem bad, but it somehow felt like it was missing something. (I gave it about 30 minutes I think, on my brother's DS) This one looks like what I've been missing since the release of the N64 though. My brother is getting it Sunday and I can't wait to try it out. I did sort of want to play coop with him, but it doesn't seem worth the $40 it would cost to buy a remote. (my brother only has one)

Edit:

IGN has the review up (http://wii.ign.com/articles/104/1044744p1.html)

They gave it an 8.9, saying that it is a good game, but no online play and it doesn't feel like a step forward for the series.

Gamespot gives it 8.5 (http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/newsupermariobroswii/review.html?tag=topslot;thumb;1)

I'm usually pretty sensitive to the idea of letting people know about spoilers, but for some reason it didn't even come to mind with this game.

After watching that quick look I'm almost willing to pay the $40 for a remote to play coop.

It's fucking Nintendo. Of course it's got waggle.

Post by: Cobra951 on Saturday, November 14, 2009, 08:38:18 AM: It spoils a lot of the things that are fun to discover on your own, even if they're not hard to discover. Watch the video (if you don't care about the spoilage) and you'll see exactly what I mean.

Post by: Quemaqua on Saturday, November 14, 2009, 10:14:23 AM: No, I'll take your word for it. I could end up getting the game at some point, so I won't watch, it just struck me as odd that something in a Mario game could really be spoilery. But that's good that there are fun surprises worth discovering on your own.
