| RolStoppable said: To make things clear right from the start, this isn't just about the Wii, it's about all gaming systems, so overall Game Of The Year. That's why this thread is in Gaming Discussion and not Nintendo Discussion. Some people might have noticed that I didn't log in for almost two weeks, that's because I got NSMB Wii. I guess my absence due to this game makes even the biggest distractors of NSMB Wii thankful that Nintendo made this platformer, even if it is only for a brief time. Obviously I played NSMB Wii a lot during the past two weeks, so I can judge the game quite fairly now. So is it worthy of the title Game Of The Year? No, because it has three major flaws. But in all seriousness, what has New Super Mario Bros. Wii going for it? Perfect controls, jumping mechanics that make it a joy to play, lots of levels with unique ideas, tons of secrets and only a few new, but useful power-ups. The penguin suit helps you in so many ways that it isn't funny (well, actually it is) and the propeller hat let's you fly, but only in a limited way. That's actually better than the flying in SMB3 and SMW where you could skip entire stages just by flying over them and the lack of star coins meant that it didn't even feel like you missed anything. The level design uses just about anything from previous Mario games, including air ships, and throws in new ideas. It just never gets boring or starts to feel stale through the entire game, it just never ceases to amaze the player. And afterwards you want to play it again, maybe with a friend. Or two, or three. The number of players changes the way how the game is played drastically and you'll get a new experience each time, depending on who you play with. The replay value of NSMB Wii seems to be unlimited. But does this make it worthy of the title Game Of The Year? No. This game is so gigantic that just calling it the best game of the year is an insult. NSMB Wii is so much bigger, so much better and so much more badass than anything before it, that the title Game Of The Year is not worthy of NSMB Wii. We need something more special, like Game Of The Decade or Game Of The Forever to honor this master piece accordingly. New Super Mario Bros. Wii really is all that. |
