Forums - Nintendo - NSMB Wii is said to be the hardest game in the series


The all famous Nintendo Power magazine had a huge spread on the New Super Mario Bros. Wii this month, and in that spread is word about the difficulty of the game itself.

"Super Mario Bros. Wii isn't easy-in fact, the game is hard. We're willing to bet that this is one of the hardest games in the series. If you're looking for a true test of platforming skills, you're about to get all you can handle."

Hearing that is very exciting to me and I'm sure a lot of you hardcore fans out there. I'm hoping this can be the Mario game to top my favorite Super Mario 3 and/or Super Mario World.

A lot of people were worried that the game would be really easy since the game is designed with multiplayer in mind. Miyamoto is making sure this game is not only good but apparently challenging as well. Very exciting stuff I should say.

Nintendo also talked about the difficulty of making this Mario game 4 players, and how every platform and every element had to be made just right so it worked in a 4 player environment.

"We couldn't create anything that wouldn't allow us to put more than one character in the game. That was tough. We've got moving platforms, if you make that normal size, you can't get all four players on it; if you make it to big it's to easy."

I definitely am excited for this games release, which is rare for me because I'm never excited about Wii games since they are mostly disappointing in my opinion. (mini-games galore, anyone?)

doesn't this game have the ability to let the console play itself??

Frankly, I think it might be the easiest one of the series.

You have to die eight times in a level for it to activate that feature... if your losing that much than (especially in early levels you probably wouldn't without it....



I love fighting games !!! Come on challenge me !

And?

There are any number of games that have both easy and hard difficulties that are still considered "hard" games, and the Super Guide isn't really any different than that.

Not at all. It says it might be one of the hardest games in the series.

This title is misleading.

But honesty, has anybody really expect it to be hard than this???
