Super Mario Bros Wii

[Scotland]

that's exactly it!! It's brilliant!

But of course, it's still got that extra bit you'd expect from a new game. It's the perfect blend of the old & new!

Picked up on Friday at lunchtime and gave it a bash on Saturday. Verdict:

It's 1995, but not as I knew it. The 1970's panasonic TV and SNES have been replaced with a 46 inch full HD bravia LCD and a Wii, and sound comes out of the contoller. The controller! What will they think of next???

 

[Lance Uppercut]

so, how about that Mario Bros game?

Anyway, I'm having a blast. Played co-op for the first time. It's really really cool.

On my solo game, I'm about halfway through the second world (desert). Man it gets a bit hard. Not hard per se, but having rare save points makes it difficult. It can be really ****ing annoying being a bit too drunk to get past a certain bit, dying 5 times, then having to go back 3 levels!

But, I just consoled myself with the thought that it's exactly how it used to be, and that's the point.

Awesome game so far though

EDIT: agree with the above poster, forgot to mention how ****ing mental that each controller has it's own sound????? Wowee!!

people laughed about it when it was first revealed in the design.....but it really does do wonders for immersion eg: shooting arrows in wii sports resort

the best use though was in No more heroes

*ring ring*

wtf..... wheres that sound coming from?

a phone ring....coming out of the wiimote?

then a mysterious girl proceeds to give you instructions that you have to listen to holding the wiimote to your ear like a mobile phone

awesome =)

Yeah, the rare save points are frustrating. Not nearly as frustrating as the Luigi guide thing which pops up after you've stuffed up a level a few times in a row. I think that's there way of saying 'you're shit, let's help you'.

I have a helicopter hat, I can shoot snowballs which freeze enemies into ice cubes and I can ride a yoshi which eats koopa troopas. Yeah! Remind me again which demographic this game was aimed at?

 

[Lethal]

Love it.

Those ice levels though.....don't know how many times I got to the end of a level only to side off the platform.

omg that doorbell sound drives me bananas! I never use the Luigi help option, but it constantly makes that noise each time you start again. I KNOW!!! I'M SHIT!!!!

Nah I reckon they've got it right. It should be hard. & it is

Yeah true. That was probably my only gripe with Super Mario Galaxy... slightly too easy (still an awesome game mind you).

Still, I've done my block while playing this game many times already and I'm only 2 worlds in haha.

oh man, it's a love/hate thing. I felt like throwing my controller through the plasma after the 48th time of starting a level, with that ****ing doorbell!

I got NMH recently and my versions bugged out. Whenever that chick calls there's no audio so I just wait out the call without hearing anything.

nah, common problem....... not your fault... its just not explained very well

you can actually turn up and down the volume on the wiimote speaker.

1) you have to press the "home" button and go to the wiimote settings

2) Press "-" and "+" buttons to increase or decrease the volume levels.


you probably just have the volume turned down on your wiimote

Penguin Mario! What next???

 

[krayfesh]

The next one has Pirate, Ninja and Grizzly Mario.

 

[Cousin Jed]

So this game is pretty freaking awesome

Is everyone just trying to get through the worlds first or trying to get all the star coins before you move on?

Still not out in Europe.

I'm with the OP. My GF is hooked on Mario Kart, its ace having a game that she wants to play too, the main reason is because she doesn't get thumped all the time.

SMBW looks similar, especially as its co-op. Cant wait.

Whats the online like?

There is no online mode.

I wasn't going to get it because of this but people seem to be talking it up as a challenging game so I might actually get it.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

...interesting....

What can I say, I love MarioKart, if she doesn't play with me.... well she knows the score...

Liking the chat thats it is hard. Much more enjoyable.

Mate, if you press + on the map, you can do a quick save. You exit to the title screen and can only continue from it once (or something like that).

 

[hardcore_hawk]

Am I only one that finds this game bloody hard?

feck...

Picked it up yesterday. Great fun.

Although with multiplayer, it'd be less annoying if everyone was at the same skill level.

I love carrying the team on my shoulders as much as the next person, but it needs to end somewhere.

yep, agree. If played with a few ppl who aren't real flash. You just have to grit your teeth, stfu & try & help them out without getting annoyed

 

[krayfesh]

I let them die and don't pop the bubbles.

Race to the finish.

Side note: Coin battle is awesome.
