OXCGN’s New Super Mario Bros. U Review

OXCGN:

"It’s been a while since we’ve had another console side scrolling Mario title, but Mario has finally burst onto our screens in [near] full HD in the Wii U launch title New Super Mario Bros. U.

While the formula on display here is anything but new, this side scrolling platformer maintains the high standard set by its predecessors all those years ago and is a must buy for all Wii U owners."

I really would like to see more than old Nintendo IPs on this console...rumours of the next Zelda as the next big game do nothing to make me feel this will happen.

Phil324130d ago (Edited 4130d ago )

The next Zelda is hardly the next big game. Look into The Wonderful 101, published by Nintendo, and will be a new IP. And no, that is hardly the next big game either.

Then again, rumors of the next FPS with the same gameplay and only prettier graphics do nothing to excite me. Opinions and all.

gaminoz4130d ago (Edited 4130d ago )

I like variety, so I agree with you about the shooters. So when we only get rehashes of Nintendo cartoony stuff, I groan.

I'll look into Wonderful 101 though.

We need an F-Zero game with 30 player online already!!!

Wish you could search for coop players online. Other than that, great game, still really hard!

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?

Juancho51305d ago

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
