NSMBWii does not use 2D sprites.

It looks like dib8rman covered MKWii.

They didn't take that many points off.
And it is touted as being a multiplayer game.

I'm not taking points off for not having online. I think there are plenty of games that do well enough without online (MGS4 probably should take a penalty for it's online lol).
It's just MP and online are like best friends. A solid MP game should have both local and online, or be docked some percentage.

You guys make a very good argument that it simply could not be done, but a lot of games have lag and people deal with it.


Although, in my world, games are rated based on what is available on the specific system. In this case, NSMBW would be somewhat higher than the score that it got. It's just that it's being compared to all other games out there, not against it's own ceiling.

I'm having a very decent debate with everyone else in this thread, but I cannot take this post seriously.

EDIT: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be aggressive. I know you don't mean to call me a fanboy or throwing a tantrum, but that you are making a point about some of the other posters in this thread. Suffice to say this is just yet another Nintendo game that isn't for me.

Well, you're either into Mario or you're not. This is pure 2D Mario platforming, online play certaily isn't "the next step" like some of the naysayers want everyone to believe. It's an addition, an option, a selling point. But gameplaywise, unless it's built specifically for it...well then it's not that big of a deal to me. I like online play in my games but I don't require it, especially from a franchise that has primarily been single player.

I editted my post claude, maybe you should check it out and then re-read my posts.

I like the classic one better. I think its the one made in 1984, not sure.

I've done reviews before, I know its hard to use disgression on certain things, and every reviewer has their do's and don'ts but some games should be related to the amount of fun to be had with it.

I certainly can see comparing MW2 with MW that makes sense to me as 2 was designed in MW's image. But NSMBWii could be compared to the DS game but then the score would be skewed compared to the DS version this is a 10/10.

So then this game should be based on the game vs the player.

Just my 2 cents.

I've seen this before though... MKWii got lower scores to another game that got perfect scores.

Now it's happened again... oh well these scores will prove they don't reflect or mean anything soon enough I suppose.

Crappy score for a game "better than the DS version".

Silly remarks from the usual Nintendo stalkers/haters.

Wonderful posts by Rol, noname, Khuutra and Claude to name a few.

Motion controls are an industry standard now. I shouldn't see any game that lacks this feature scoring above an 8.5. Lazy devs.
--an illustration of how absurd some of you sound

the scores don't mean as much as people give them credit for. They are merely suggestions to buy a game.
