New Super Mario Bros Wii Options

[Oscar]

I can't believe nobody has a made a topic for this!

Well, it's out in about a week, who is looking forward to it?
I still can't decide to buy it or not. It's release date was planned pretty good too. Everyone in the US will be having days off from school or even work to join the family and eat AND play some multiplayer!

What are you looking most forward to?

Uh, what, how do you accidentally buy another Wii and four new games? D: And why is that bad?

Well, I beat the first world and had gotten to the castle of world 2 but I got Game Over again.

I have to admit that I like the Super Guide feature. I kept dying on the first castle a lot (falling into the lava while jumping) so it came in handy to just get past it and save my game. I probably would've stopped there if it weren't for that feature. Once I got to world 2 I ended up going back and beating that castle after a few more attempts, so it's not as though I'm cheating through the game. It's just a good tool to help avoid endless frustration leading you to giving up on the game altogether.

The game is quite enjoyable though I do have a few issues with it, I guess. For one it took me a little while to get into the groove of the game, though I suppose that's my fault for not playing many platformers. That reason is why I actually wanted this game so badly: so I could get better. (I figure it would also help for Lindstrom and my game.) The controls seemed to take some getting used to, even though for the most part they're quite logical and the game does try to help you. Picking up Toad was weird because I didn't realize I had to hold 1, so instead I kept throwing him at enemies accidentally. I also dislike having to save only at the castles, though I realize that's how Super Mario World was, and truthfully it forces you to play longer. My issues deal mostly with my lack of skill and getting used to the game, otherwise it's fun.

I definitely recommend trying the game. It certainly does remind me of Super Mario World.

You know, I stopped for a minutes and already I want to go back and play it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lalaexdee.gif) Also Earthbound too. I am definitely enjoying the game, though I wish I could play multiplayer with someone.
