First review of New Super Mario Bros. Wii is in

October 19th, 2009 Posted in News, Wii, Written by Valay

New Super Mario Bros. Wii won’t be making its worldwide debut until next month, but the first review of the game is already in. The Official Nintendo Magazine published the review it the most recent issue of the magazine, awarding it with a 96%. It was stated that the “timeless Mario magic is present” and that it “looks and sounds incredible.” And perhaps the the concerns about the game being too easy can be put to rest once and for all, as ONM said that New Super Mario Bros. Wii “starts easy, ends hard as nails.” The only negative point brought up at the end of the article is that the reviewer would have liked to see more of Yoshi. Still, overall, New Super Mario Bros. Wii sounds like it’ll please fans.

Thanks to Josh for the news tip!

    Whooooa! I was totally not expecting a review this early. And what a review at that! I think this just solidified NSMB Wii’s place in this year’s best! Watch out Uncharted 2, eh?

    While 96% is a great score, I would want to see reviews from non-Nintendo-centric outlets like IGN, EDGE magazine, Eurogamer, GameSpot, or Gametrailers.

    “I would want to see reviews from non-Nintendo-centric outlets like IGN, EDGE magazine, Eurogamer, GameSpot, or Gametrailers.”

    Oh yes, because none of those outlets lack in credibility *extreme sarcasm*

    this game is terrible, hearing the “jump” noise of mario games, now multiplied 4 times over, makes this the most annoying game this year.

  7. By Gavin on Oct 19, 2009

    I’m really looking forward to this game.

    ONM’s reviews mean nothing to me though. They overrate shit games and underrate good ones.

    I’m sure NSMBWii will be awesome though.

    “It looks and sounds incredible”
    I wonder is this a Real review?

  9. By yeahyeah on Oct 19, 2009

    Can’t wait to pick it up next month.

    @MEH (do you even know the origin of the phrase meh?) who said
    “this game is terrible, hearing the “jump” noise of mario games, now multiplied 4 times over, makes this the most annoying game this year.”
    Well, perhaps some gentle machinegun bullits, dieing screams, and Michael Bay explosions from the war glorifing Modern Warfare could rock you to sleep. Pffft douch bag!

    riiight…

    Oh wait, this is NSMB? I thought this was a N64 game. I take my comment back. This game doesn’t deserve this review score.

    @Keyz
    Have you played it? How would you know what score it deserves? And what’s wrong with an N64 game? Does EVERYTHING have to look and play the same? Have you got enough shooters yet? I have all 3 systems for a reason. Diversity is a good thing. Mario is at his best in a game like this. If you don’t like it…don’t play it. Buy another shooter.

    This game will be GREAT!

    @ Ares – The second keyz comment isn’t keyz. It’s someone impersonating him.

    @ Ares – The second keyz comment isn’t keyz. It’s someone impersonating him.

    I think so. No one will leave their name after comment specially. Unless you have some special aim.

    Anyone who judges this game based on graphics is an idiotic jackass.

    Sure, the game is pretty low-key in the graphics department. But it looks fresh and clean, not anywhere near a Nintendo 64 game. Plus, it’s freaking 2-D Mario. With freaking 4-player simultaneous gameplay. Unless you hate Mario (in which case, shame on you), there’s no reason to bash this game.

  18. By Gavin on Oct 19, 2009

    Graphics wise, I think the world maps are lush.

  19. By Paul on Oct 19, 2009

    Does it say anything about the co-op gameplay.

    I just hope the single-player experience isn’t handicapped by shoehorning the multi-player game where it doesn’t belong.

    thank you valay. Someone is using my name and knows i go to gonintendo. The only person on here who visits gonintendo besides me that i can see is terryxlr. Whoever it is, needs to be banned.

    @ keyz – Just a suggestion: You might want to register for your name here on the site so that way no one can ever make a comment under the alias “keyz.”

    I think im gonna do that valay. Thanks for pointing out that it wasnt me who stated that crap. Some people let jealousy get the best of them i guess.

    If you guys are looking for an unbiased and well written review of this upcoming title: NSMB Wii, then look no further than Nintendo Everything!

    The review should be available sometime before the game’s retail release.

    wtf is up with that ‘Christian Louboutin Boots’ douchebag?
    1) this is nintendo news, a wrong place to attract customers and
    2) its called ‘Christian Louboutin Boots’ yet in the description its all “shoes”. fail.
