I think the visuals, while relatively simple, are incredibly impressive in HD due to the crisp look and the little details that are much more noticeable like the lighting from flames and Mario's fireballs. Also, the boss levels where you see the Bowser brats' airship fly into the background never ceases to amaze me. Moments like that make it hard to believe it's not native 1080p. The game just looks clean and smooth. The level design is very impressive and the world map is even better than Super Mario World's. I smiled more than once when I would discover a secret exit in a level and watch as the map became interconnected in different ways. Personally, I have little interest in the multiplayer aspects; I'm a one player Mario kind of guy, and in that respect this is quite easily my favorite 2D Mario since the SNES. WiiU launched with a AAA title in my opinion and I can't recommend it enough. |
I agree with you. It looks and plays great. 1080p 2D mario is great. But I have the same issue with it's art design as I have with all previous versions of NSMB. I've never been fond of the "Photoshopy" look of the games. I'm still waithing for a nice HD 2D Mario with handrawn graphics like Rayman Origins.
