"Super Mario Bros. 2 (SMB2) was originally released in the U.S. for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) in 1988. Nintendo re-released SMB2 for the Wii's Virtual Console Service on July 2, 2007, and it is available to download for 500 Wii Points, which is $5. The game was just released for the Wii U's Virtual Console service this week, on Thursday. You can purchase it through the Wii U's eShop now for only $4.99, or you can currently get it 50% off if you buy Super Mario World at the same time.
If you own a Wii or Wii U, how many hours of game-play can you expect from Super Mario Bros. 2? How many U.S. Wii owners have game-play data reported for the game, since it released back in 2007? Brew yourself a nice, full, pot of coffee this fine day, and let's take a look at the official U.S. Nintendo Channel data for Super Mario Bros. 2!", writes CoffeeWithGames.
Ruth's dad showed her the ropes once she could hold a GameBoy and it only got better from there. This is how handheld gaming shaped her.
Ther 35th anniversary of the NES is finally upon us and it's time to take a look back at the best classics you can play on Switch.
Every discussion about the American version of Super Mario Bros. 2 invariably turns to its origins as a completely different game. “It’s not the ‘real’ Super Mario Bros. 2,” is a fact some folks are more than happy to point out, and in some ways, they’re absolutely right. Many don’t think it matters all that much when the replacement is so much better than the original.
This got to be one of my NES-faves of all time. I`ve felt that Super Mario Bros.2 always got overshadowed by the other Mario-titles like, SMB1 & SMB3.and also the later, SM World (SNES, Yep, my next fave among the classic 2D SM-games).
SMB2 had a more diverse and a more different level design from the SMB1, ,and a bit more added RPG-feel over it than the later (and great) SMB3.
The introduction of the jack-slot machine to win level up`s etc was fun at this point. There were also some new and interesting characters/boss-fights (and some of them characters we haven`t seen since, like "Mouser" and ,"Wart", "Birdo" etc (well, Birdo was actually seen once, later in Mario Party 9 for Wii)
-Anyway an underated gem that should had deserved a lot more attention when it come to plans about modern remasters/remakes. :)
Btw: I`ve only played the EU- version (which I believe the same as the US-version, so I cant unfortunately compare these versions to the Japan version.
I got into this game later on my first Nintendo console was a SNES but I enjoyed this game with SMB Allstars for the SNES. When I was able to I bought a NES and the SMB 2 cart and it is still a great game I think the game sounds better on the NES and not the SNES too many farting noises on the SNES port. Like when you throw the POW or throw an egg at Birdo that is when the SNES farting noises kick in.
Zero, I never care for this one. I like the first one and Super Mario Bros. 3 I would spend hours playing on my NES.
I bought SMB2 and SMW on Wii U since they had 50% off SMB2 if you bought SMW. I only played SMB2 for a few minutes... it has always been my least favorite of the NES-SNES Mario Bros games, but I have spent a few hours with SMW. SMW is still an amazing game, and holds up so well after 20+ years. SMB2 isn't bad, it's just such a departure from the other 2D Mario platformers.
have you seen all the post to super mario world? some don't even know how to play
