The summary is ready (Some spoilers with NSMB)
November 3rd, 2009 Posted in DS, News, Wii, Written by Valay
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
- There are explanation blocks in the game
- Peer loves the multiplayer
- He can play through a level with his kids
- Hit the A buttom at any time during multiplayer to go into the bubble, can help someone who is stuck
- Peer feels Nintendo cut corners with the game in some ways (ex: Two Toads)
spoiler
- When you get 99 lives and you beat a level, you’ll show up on the map screen hatless, will be hatless in the game until you lose a life
- There are many 1-up opportunities
- Much harder than New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
Spoiler
- In one of the worlds, Bowser Jr. misses his ship, falls off, then he’s running off – that becomes a level
- Craig really likes the game but New Super Mario Bros. feels like a huge step backward (unlike other Mario games, it’s not the pinnacle experience for the console)
- A lot of people have been under the impression that New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the DS game
- There’s a bunch of unique stuff later in the game
- Mini-Mario makes a return
- Koopa Kids are a great addition
- Releasing November 15
- Peer is excited for it
- There will be written/video reviews from Craig
Excitebike: World Rally
- Monster Games is developing the game
- Excite Truck sold decently, Excitebots didn’t but it came out of nowhere
- Basically redid the original
- When you take out enemies on the track (change lanes), engine cools down
- Can do wheelies over others, but it won’t cool down your engine
- Game was good for when it came out in the era, but Craig says people have moved on
- He still likes playing the original, it’s fun, but it’s just more of the same now
- It’s cool that they did it
- Don’t know what the price is, Craig hopes it isn’t 1,000 points
- Added ability to play tilt
- Also when you hit A you can look fully down the course – but it really screws with your mind
- Looking at it, Peer says it looks like a DSi game, what you should be able to download
- There’s been a lot of revivals/remakes on Wii
Nintendo DSi LL
- Called XL in the U.S.
- Making the handheld bigger
- Larger screens
- Comes with a huge stylus/pen
- Peer thinks they should have been smarter how they revealed the system
- Not the replacement for the DSi that is out now
Reader questions
- No in-your-face notices about WiiWare games when you boot up the Wii, people only know about new WiiWare games through emails – It’s slowly getting better, though
- Sonic, ActRaiser, Super Castlevania IV are all good VC titles
- New Play Control! Super Mario Sunshine would make a lot of sense – Nintendo hasn’t really talked about the NPC! series since their last release
Honestly I'd prefer no more NPC games, Pikmin and Metroid Prime Trilogy are the only ones that actually were worth it in my opinion.
