   Who knows if the Mario well will ever truly run dry for Nintendo, they have been returning to it for decades and, where any other developer would be crucified for such derivative behaviour, we positively celebrate the company for it. The New Super Mario Bros. series, first seen on the Nintendo DS, might just be the clearest evidence of the brand's immortality; Nintendo essentially remade a game from 1985 and we went nuts for it.

   Synopsis: Essentially just Super Mario Bros. with added multiplayer, New Super Mario Bros. Wii does a remarkable job of appearing fresh and new with a minimum of effort. Every bit as absorbing and fun as the old titles it apes, the game exemplifies the cult of levity that many believe gaming ought to represent. Read more

   So is the game worth buying? Most certainly; fans of Nintendo’s flagship franchise may well bemoan the apparent lack of innovation, but why mess with a formula which has withstood the test of time? Nintendo has achieved a good balance of ‘old school’ qualities with an updated façade. Truth be told, the single player adventure is probably a little too challenging for gamers at the youngest end of the spectrum, but there’s still plenty of good fun to be had. Read more

   New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the follow-up to New Super Mario Bros. released 3 years ago for DS, and is the first game in the series to feature on Wii. The formula is the same as you would expect, with signature side-scrolling action that will test even expert gamers, but several key changes to the game make it accessible for all – and you can even all play together with the new 4 player co-op mode allowing additional players to drop in or out with ease.

   Developers at Nintendo have dreamed of creating a simultaneous multiplayer Super Mario Bros. game for decades. The Wii console finally makes that dream come true for everyone this holiday season. Now players can navigate the side-scrolling worlds alone as before or invite up to three others to join them at the same time on the same level at any point in the game for competitive and cooperative multiplayer fun.

   Heaps of levels, lots of fasinating variations on the game with being able to ride Yoshi and now being able to fly for a period of time. Even cooler that you can now play with a friend. Read more

   This is an amazing game, I have a great time playing it! The best part is playing with a friend or friends, its the thrill of most super mario games, being shared with others! It came with the Wii which is what I wanted it for mostly. However like with all console games the price is annoyingly high. Great game, love it!!! Read more

   • Really fun especially when playing multiplayer.
   • Nothing that I can think of.
