Just wondering how the New Super Mario Bros. for Wii is. I am not a hardcore fan of the Wii and only have a few games (Smash Bros, Metroid, Zelda). However, I am an old school gamer, but mostly play 360 and PS3. Thanks

It's awesome. If you liked SMB 3 and Super Mario World, you'll love this.

i dont like it, but i know im in the minority :s i personally just didnt find it enjoyable, the level design killed it for me. it seriously has some of the most erratic levels ever, world 2 was fantastic though, i will give it that. i took the game back.. and got a boy and his blob and muramasa the demon blade.. couldnt be happier now. and yes, i am a fan of the 2d mario games before anyone asks.. SMB3 is my favourite, closely followed by mario world.. I even loved new super mario bros. DS, i would defo buy that over NSMB Wii.

Its a very great game, every wii owner should have it. Its tons of fun single player and co-op you will definitently enjoy it, and its true its pretty defficult the hardest and best in the series. If you are still not satisfied its mario you cant go wrong with him there not a single bad mario game. (not including the cdi and virtuial boy)

Have you played NSMB on the DS? Do you like 2D platforming? If both of those are yes, then one more question: Have you grown tired of the same old 2D mario games though? If you said no, pick it up. Otherwise it is a solid pass. The only thing new in it is the multiplayer. For some the local multiplayer was great. I can't stand it. It really comes down to whether or not you are playing with people equal in ability, or at least the ability and desire to do better. Or if you have the ability to tough it out helping people along... personally the multiplayer gets great when everyone else is in their bubble. Extra obstacles to avoid like the plague. So when it all comes down to it, it is just another one of those mario games I felt obligated to get, that I just don't want to play.

It seems like one of those games that are only fun if youve played the original version :l Honestly there doesn't seem to be anything really "special" in it besides the multiplayer and the new graphics. Though if your a hardcore Mario fan yeah you'll love it.

It's easily one of the most well designed 2D platformers of all time. This game actually made my jaw drop on several occasions just due to the pure brilliance of some levels.

My jaw hasn't dropped from a video game in about 5 years now. WOW thank you New Super Mario Bros. Wii!

I can't wait to play multiplayer with this game! I hear it's a blast!

My only gripe with the game is that the overworld is kind of weak. It's not as good as Super Mario World's or New Super Mario Bros. for the DS.

I was disappointed in the Game. Got it together with my limited Wii and firstly played it alone, after about 10 levels I stopped. Then I restarted from the beginning with my gf, my brother and a friend, again, after 10 levels we were bored and played something else :S Especially since you own a PS3: I got through LBP 3 times, one time alone, one time with my gf (local) and one time with my friend online (when he got it new) :/

It is kinda like those games, I'd rank it 3rd, with the 1st being Super Mario world. If you liked them, get this!

Great game with fantastic local coop but the game could be so much better.

If MK Wii can have online why cant NSMB?

I agree. I think the game is great but they could've added wifi for people like me that don't have anyone to play with locally :P There are actually a few other things about the game that they could've done to improve it...imo. But overall it's a great game, I've beaten it 100% and it's really fun. Also there's an added bonus if you beat the game without unlocking the superquide, which makes the game a bit more challenging. So if you like other Mario games then I'd say definitely get NSMB.

I think it is an exelent game if you have someone to play it with. The local multiplayer is excelent and makes the game worth buying.

If you're alone, it is still a good game, nicely designed, the difficulty is mostly old-school, there are lots of levels but it feels it could be better somehow.

Btw, do you guys consider this game hardcore or casual? Because once I had it at home I changed my mind to something more casual, all the family plays it now(some more skilled than the others ofc) and even friends come over to insult each other playing! I could never convince my younger brothers playing the original Super Mario Bros.

i breezed through it in single player (the answer to all your "did you get/complete all _________ is yes), and it was okay. however, i'm playing through the game with my wife and it's 10x better. you'll probably buy it no matter what, but multiplayer is a must in my opinion to really enjoy the game.

After beating it 100%, I can say that this is one great game. The levels are all very unique, and multiplayer just makes it so much more worthwhile. And the game can get challenging and the Star Coins aren't always so simple to get and find, so it adds more replay value.

I don't know where you come off insinuating that LBP is more enjoyable than NSMBWii. Oh wait theres nothing but PS3 jargon in your profile/avatar. For someone who has actually played both completely I can easily say that NSMBWii> LBP IMO.

lol xD The avatar is from Star Craft, a PC game, I own EVERY next gen system out there. my sig includes PSN, XBL and my Wii friend code. it is right that I own mostly Ps3 games because I get multiplat games on that system and that I have only a few Wii games 8since it's the last system I got), but how in the world does it change anything. I have 3 persons that feel the same way I do. Don't know why, maybe because we grew old with Sonic Games or whatever, but it stays FACT that me, my girlfriend, my brother and a friend of me enjoyed LBP more, MUCH more than NSMB :/

It's awesome! I've been playing it nonstop. If you're gonna play multiplayer, play free for all or coin battle unless you have a Mario vet to play co op campaign with. It's also great in single player

I love it. It has a great multiplayer and singleplayer, and all the levels are awesome.

The only thing I found dissapointing was the music, other Mario games have much better music.

I'll never understand why people keep complaining that there's no wifi though. It just isn't appropriate for all games.

I do understand why people want wifi in the game, because it will add replay value.

I think online leaderboards would work pretty well.

But I don't think a online free mode or coin battle works, because a tiny bit of lag could ruin the experience.

How would it add replay value, and what would the leader boards be based on? Score?

it has always been a favorite in parties alongside wii sports... always play it on single player whenever i get tired of other games and it's always been fun.... beating the game is challenging (for me.... last Mario i played was SMB3 when i was 5 and i didn't even get to finish it)... getting all the star coins is even more challenging... it's fun throwing friends at goombas and bottomless pits...

I really, really loved it, it brought me back to the 90's and Super Mario All Stars.

My top five games of the year across all systems.

Its a wonderful game but a challenging one at that. I fully recommend it.
