New Super Mario Bros Wii

While the world went 3D bonkers 2d got left behind, but now we go retro again!! Think Super Mario World and Mario 3 with HD graphics in a 2D style scrolling game with 4 players at once and it's utterly amazing gameplay and is pure and simple.

I Think this really is the best game i've played since well super mario world on the snes!

New Super Mario Bros Wii is possilby the best 2D platform game ever. Brilliant.

Although you pay a bit more for this game than the standard Wii game, it's worth it. Amazing graphics and levels, and being able to have 4 players at once just adds to the endless fun. Wii remote is also used in different ways such as tilting and shaking. If you can't clear a level Luigi comes in to help and so you don't become annoyed and abandon the game because you can't complete a level. Am still working on opening up all the World 9 levels now and have had this game a fair while! Must have for Wii.

I loved all mario games and have grew up with them, the likes of mario world 3 and super mario world i still play because they are that good. This game just doesn't live up to the standard, yes graphics are good, as is gameplay and controls. But it just feels that there has been little effort put into this. The DS new super mario was excellent, and this just feels like a simple transfer to the wii with a couple of extras. I've completed it and only went back to it once and got bored.
Multiplayer is more fun but I think it doesn't live up to the mario name and won't be a classic in years to come, where most mario games are.
Still a good game, but not worth full price!

loved the game when i was a kid.. love the game now.... love all the intereactive things like the seesaw thing and the helicopter power up, etc.

deleivery took along time (8 working days) but well worth the wait

I bought this game after seeing advert after advert for the game and thinking that it looked good. It is so amazing that now the multiplayers can actually play at the same time this is the best thing about that game. The only downside for me was that i played the game for about 6 hours a day and i had it completed in just a week, this is prob my fault for doing it so much. But it is an addictive game that you just want to keep playing. Its a great buy and well worth the money.

this game is probably the only reason i purchased a wii! and it was worth it! 1, 2, 3, 4 player, its all good! we love all hooking up our remotes and playing together on the same screen. its really great for younger players as they dont need to wait their turn- i used to hate that when i was little! whats more, you can carry one another across difficult parts, put yourself in a bubble while another player completes a part, or when you have yoshi, you can hold another player in your mouth- we have great fun with that one! i love the return of yoshi, the battle ship, and loads of other things from previous marios. im a diehard mario fan, and this game has lived up to my expectations. very like the ds game, but with whole different worlds to complete. its packed with exciting stuff, and just when you think its all over or you have completed a world, something else pops up. there are so many times i though i had done it, got excited, and then quite sad that it was over, and then a whole new world appears! brilliant! they have also given a purpose to collecting all 3 star coins on every level. and if your really stuck, luigi completes the level for you if you want him to. helicopter mario and penguin mario are brilliant additions, i do wish they had kept the mega mushroom for the wii game though. and i miss being able to save an item and use it in the middle of a level- but im willing to sacrifice that for the fact that you can collect up to 99 of each of your items and keep them in your item store! the graphics and maps are outstanding! especially world 6 when the map is working up a big mountain. a fantastic game, which doesnt compare to any other mario game for the wii. must must must buy, worth every penny as even when you have completed it, you will still play it. the coin battle section is great too, as you can compete against other players, still on the same screen. buy it! no wii should be without it!

Anyone who complains that this is too much "Like Old Mario" why did you buy it? Its obvious from the TV advertising that its old style Mario, and thats no bad thing.
Those who played New Mario Bros on the DS will know what to expect, a Fantastic updated version of classic Mario. The levels are interesting, brightly coloured and well designed. With old enemies and new.
Marios new skills from the DS version are still here (eg wall jumps) and there are new power ups like Ice Flower, Penguin Mario & more.
Bowsers kids are the levels bosses and i`ll show my age by saying i remember them from Super Mario Bros 3 on the NES (yes i know 1990 ish lol)
An excellent game, if you`re a fan of mario for ages Buy This, if you havent played before this is a great place to start. 5 Stars

I think keeping the roots in gaming and in games like mario is important but with the cost of games and consoles people are wanting totaly fresh produce and new idea's,not to be playing poshed up old games but there is plenty of new stuff in this and it is a good reminder at the same time how good these games really were!!
I Really see no harm in the game being slightly retro,its still a fun addictive game that has you reeling in frustraion because you died in the same place again and the graphics are amazing

Everything about the game has been well built (polished). If you liked the originals then you will love this. Cooperative works really well. Difficulty level feels that it will introduce a newbie and provide a challenge to more experienced players.
