New Super Mario Bros. Wii

This game will be the bomb! I am sure it will be best of '09! Why did I spend my $50 on TMNT Smash Up over this??!

Ditto. It's about time to blow the dust off the Wii and get it going again.

I still wish that Princess Toadstool would have been the 4th character rather than a second Toad, but I guess I can't expect Nintendo to hit the nail right on the head.

Sadly, it's been awhile for me too since I've played a Wii game, but I've definitely been looking forward to this one. I really enjoyed NSMB on the DS and this looks even better.

Yeah, I own the DS one and it's awesome! This will be better though, I'm positive.

New SMB was neat at its release, but it doesn't hold up well. The game is pretty basic by Mario standard and easy as it gets. By going the 3D route, they opened up nearly infinite possibilities for new ideas that largely went wasted for the sake of keeping things simple for the damn non-gamers. In fact, I'd go as far as to say there was little to nothing in New SMB that couldn't have been done one Super Nintendo easily.

With lots of outlets calling New SMB2 the hardest in the series, clearly this game is going to kick ass. They're actually using the hardware to do some cool stuff this time out. I'm excited.

I for one never liked the DS one, I thought it was boring as hell. What I've seen of this new one looks promising but I'm not messing my pants yet.

I would contend that no Mario game has ever been "hard" and even calling one "tough" would be a stretch. The challenge levels in Sunshine is where difficulty in Mario games begins and ends.

Please, go away. Being an idiot here isn't beneficial to you. Your best bet is to spam your sh*t somewhere else, it won't be tolerated in this section.

And if I remember correctly, even there a lot of the difficulty came from the horrible camera.

Most of the time. The later ones are truly difficult though.

Here's an idea for a start: Take a break and stop replying to everything!

You can shut the f*ck up and stop spamming. This is like the tenth time I've seen you apologize for being retarded. Just knock it the hell off.

I'm not going to be playing it until Christmas. I have an old tradition. If a Mario game launches in November, I save it for Christmas to try and keep alive that little kid in me who went crazy when he unwrapped Super Mario World and that brand new SNES in 1991.

Besides, it'll give me more time to finish Brutal Legend and get into Assassin's Creed 2.

Not a bad idea there, TMB. I'm not the biggest Mario fan but I just might join you.
