LOL WHERE WERE THESE JOURNALISTS WHEN SUPER MARIO BROS CAME OUT?

No one to tell us "good but not great, not the epic you were hoping for, try MW2 instead."

Well I'm on World 5 and the game is great. The challenge is balanced for the most part, it isn't ridiculously easy like NSMB: DS or way too hard either. It seems to have a perfect balance, along with lots of charm. The castles are well designed and I love how the game is ALMOST a re imagining of SMB3, to see the return of characters from that game made me smile. My only complaint is the world map, I feel it is too blah for the most part. The one thing I loved about SMB3 was that the world map was a character in its own way with secrets that could be accessed while on it. But with that said NSMB: Wii is a great game, and I love seeing the Koopa Kids back. Much more interesting then Bowser Jr. by a mile!

I don't know if this was mentioned yet, but GameSpot's review gave it an 8.5:

http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/newsupermariobroswii/review.html?page=2

That's the exact score I predicted they would give it, and I guessed 9 from IGN too which was only .1 away. Surprisingly, the review doesn't even mention having no online play, and the only real complaints I see are weird nitpicky things like no Classic Controller support and that multiplayer shouldn't be taken seriously.

It's sad when we can predict their scores beforehand. Gaming media fails.

I only can trust PixlBit and NWR now.

Their voices are also very fitting, grunts and all.

What i like about the Koopa kids in this is that it shows Nintendo actually took time to create boss models instead of making normal enemies big for boss battles like they were in NSMB: DS. There doesn't seem to be as much enemy reuse in this, where NSMB: DS felt like most of the models were ripped from SM64 or something.

Still, I missed having a "Giant" world in there. That was one of my favorites in SMB 3, if not just because I liked the oversized sprites. I was really hoping we'd see giant enemies beyond Wigglers in World 5, even though there were some giant variations throughout the game.

Has anybody tried to get the Super Guide in Multiplayer? I'm curious if it is only single player.

Stogi · « **Reply #856 on:** November 17, 2009, 04:15:57 PM »

It's only single player. I think that was confirmed before it was out.

True, I actually thought world 5 was going to be giant world.

My copy hasn't come in the mail yet, but my friend who lives in the apartment above me got it and we are going to have a gaming session tonight. Pretty excited. I already called playing as Bucken-Berry/Yvan

What I like about the difficulty is that usually when I die it isn't because the game was cheap but something I did wrong. Either rushing it or doing a poor jump.

Yeah, it's just like Super Ghouls and Ghosts in that respect.

Peachylala · « **Reply #861 on:** November 17, 2009, 10:49:49 PM »

As I said previously, it has alot to do with how you adapt to the gimmicks of the stage. I died in the Wiggler stage in World 5 because I wasn't expecting Wigglers coming in another direction at the beginning. Knowing better, I managed to get through the stage no problem.

Also, the boss battles rape NSMB DS's ten times over. Koopa Kids = Awesome. Koopa Kids with Kamek gimmicks = HOLY ****.

Wendy's 2nd battle gave me some trouble. Fire flowers are your best friend during this one.

Lemmy now has a pony tail. Interesting.

Just finished playing with two of my friends. Had a blast. Laughing and yelling and having a great time. A little frustrating because we kept bumping into each other and causing each other to die but still frantic and fun. We finished the first two worlds and world 3-1 before we called it quits. The world 1 final castle and the world 2 mid level castle gave us a good deal of trouble and the challenge in a number of levels was pretty good. Though I think much of the challenge came from your buddies as opposed to the environment.

I think that's the fun of co-op, you have to approach the levels in different ways so that you can all get through it together.

I haven't played it with more than other person yet. I hope to get some 4-player going this weekend but I'm not yet sure if I'll be able to.

Adrock · « **Reply #864 on:** November 18, 2009, 12:11:17 AM »

Bowser Jr. is so lame. Never was a fan. Lacks the charm of the Koopa kids so I'm glad they're back though they did have nice cameos in Superstar Saga.

So this is kind of unrelated, but I was thinking about those DS2 rumors and how it's supposedly going to employ the Tegra 2 effectively making it more powerful than the Wii (from what I understand, correct me if I understood wrong). The idea of a co-op Mario game with each player having his/her own screen makes me salivate. There's just so much that could be done with that. Notably, the return of flight power-ups (i.e. leaf, feather) which is kind of hard to do in a game like NSMBW.

UncleBob · « **Reply #865 on:** November 18, 2009, 12:27:23 AM »

So, I just beat the game 100%. Some thoughts. Spoilers ahead.

Loved the second Bowser fight. Seriously. It wasn't *hard* (made it through on the first time, getting the one Star Coin I needed), but it was intense. I couldn't imagine doing it with three other players.

The "Save a Toad" challenges... man, they suck. It'd help if Toad wasn't a flippin' moron who just ran back and forth as Bullet Bills would hit him until he died. Do not want.

The World 9 levels aren't as fun. They kind of remind me of Tubular from Super Mario World - if you want to get through the levels with all three Star Coins, you pretty much have to follow a pre-made plan on a lot of them.

Needs more Penguin and Propeller suits. And more Yoshi.

Beating the game 100% is a disappointment. All you get is a little message that says something like "You've done everything there is to do" - lame. Gimme a full inventory like Super Mario Bros. 3...

The Credit Mini-Game is pretty fun. Should have made a way to play that without having to beat Bowser again.

My wife isn't very good at co-op Mario. A few steps above retarded Toad.

Stratos · « **Reply #866 on:** November 18, 2009, 01:26:50 AM »

I so want to read those spoilers you posted UncleBob. Must...resist...

Don't do it, you will regret it.

Stratos · « **Reply #868 on:** November 18, 2009, 01:53:10 AM »

That just want's me to look even more. But I want to wait until the game arrives in my mail box at least.

Here is what he said.
What you thought I was going to spoil it? If you are reading this you have no self control.Shame on you.I probably should of made it bigger to make it believeable. Have a nice day.

You're not helping Maxi.

I didn't even read what you put in there because I figured it was something I didn't want to know. I don't actually know what UncleBob typed either because it very likely is something I don't want to know.

BeautifulShy · « **Reply #873 on:** November 18, 2009, 02:22:57 AM »

It has nothing to do with the game or any other spoilers.
Unclebob's you don't want to read.Mine is safe.

that Baby guy · « **Reply #874 on:** November 18, 2009, 02:49:04 AM »

You can safely read the very last line of UncleBob's spoilers, and that line is the most important, anyways.
