Review: New Super Mario Bros. U (Wii U) - Aussie-Gamer.Com

Tynan Muddle for Aussie-Gamer.com writes: "Super Mario is a video game icon and it’s only fitting that he would return in New Super Mario Bros. U for Nintendo Wii U’s launch.

The “New” in the title refers to a recent trend of returning Mario back to his 2D side-scrolling platforming roots since the first in the series on Nintendo DS, New Super Mario Bros.. This is the fourth in this series line and the second to appear on a home console.

This Wii U entry promises to use the GamePad in new and unique ways, does it deliver? Let’s find out."

Goodbye New Mario, I Won't Miss You

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest305d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic305d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos304d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz304d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game

shinoff2183304d ago

I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh
