New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a fantastic game, which I was playing all day yesterday with a group of friends. Playing 4-player is very fun, of course, but very hectic and chaotic.
But playing 2-player? Wow. Just being 2 people is amazing, because it's the perfect amonut of players to keep it going smoothly, in my opinion. It gives all the joy of multiplayer with none of the chaos (Don't get me wrong, chaos can be hilariously fun, but sometimes you just want to be without it).
Me and one of my oldest friends played through the last 2 worlds 2-player and had a blast. If you play with someone you've got good coordination with (we've played co-op many times, against eachother even more, and been best friends for like 7 years so we match up together pretty well), the game becomes even better than it already is. New Super Mario Bros. Wii is one of the best games ... Ever. I don't think I'll ever forget the joy of the 2-player co-op I've had with this game.
Makes me wonder why they never made a 2-player co-op Mario before this. I can see why 4-player took them a while, but it baffles me why 2-player never happened before. Anyone else had a blast with 2-player co-op in the game? Or, hell, had a blast with the game in general. Doesn't really matter, the game is fantastic no matter what way you play it.
