Super Mario Bros. 2, how much have U.S. Wii owners reported playing? Nintendo Channel report.

"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.

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.

thats why its the odd cousin so to speak... at its foundation.. its literally is another game all together..the real super mario 2 was just a harder version of the original..

I'm still wondering why is it that SMB2 is so different from SMB1 and SMB3. Is it another team that worked on it or is it something else? As a kid I didn't care about it but now I'm kinda interested in knowing what is the reason for SMB2 being so different. Anyone?

BeZdaBest3994d ago (Edited 3994d ago )

this should cover most of it...

but in short smb2 was a game called doki doki panic...

nintendo didnt want to release the real smb2 because they thought it was to hard.. so they took doki doki and reskinned the charatcers...

America Got The Better Super Mario Bros. 2

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.

I always loved Super Mario 2. It's definitely the one I played the most as a kid.

SMB2 was trash. The ugly step child of the original trilogy.

Killer73nova1293d ago

Sounds like you’re a step child

Rebel_Scum1292d ago

Geez louise mate what a weak insult.

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.
