What makes me angry about NSMB U is the music is exactly the same! Three years of development time, c'mon Nintendo hire a few musicians to give me a few new music tracks.

I'm OK with the graphics being similar in style just in HD.

I'm with you on this one! God damn awful music...



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Yeah, deep down inside I know that... It's such a shame that they're sticking with the same old art style... Back in the days they used to have new styles for each and every Mario game!!

Eh. Sort of. I think it was more of a result of changing technology. Super Mario Bros. and Lost Levels look by and large the same. World and Yoshi's Island have differences but in general are very similar.

Well, take a lot at SMB3... Doesn't look at all like SMB... The art style is quite different. And regarding that the change might be due to new technology; what would you call Wii U? Or 3DS? 4 SMB games on 4 different consoles and they all look a like. That's just shameful!

You still should include the score. If you don't include it then it makes it look like you're skewing the results to give the game a better image. It's low, but maybe not every reviewer will feel that way.

IGN's Scribblenauts review has been up for a while now. 8.8/10 = Yay.

Can't believe I'm the first one to post it. Unless I'm not.

Gamespot gave Nintendo Land an 8 and Mario an 8.5



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

COD on Vita gets a 4 and nintendoland gets an 8? Really? Come on...

Let's be honest, rating a nintendo game by no way actually represents an accurate comparison to it's competitors PS3/360/Vita. Wiiu is living in it's own world, obviously depending on PS4/720 specs.

GameTrailers has the following reviews so far (in case nobody posted them):

NSMBU: 8.4

Nintendo Land: 6.9

Sing Party: 4.8 (darn, I know many of you were SOOO looking forward to this one)

They also reviewed Epic Mickey 2 for PSWii60 and gave it a 6.7. So far it seems like a step back in a lot of ways over the original

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
