"I'd just like to ask anyone that thinks Nintendo were being lazy by releasing NSMBWii"

Some people think lazy can be determined by results, not the actual effort. I would think they might think "Too Human" was lazy if they didn't know about its development time and cost.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.

Plus, just for the hell of it: Kelly Brook at the 2008 BAFTAs

Yes, he is using Splosion Man while trying to hide what this article should be about. I kinda gree with him but not to the same raging hate extent.

I can't shake the feeling NSMBWii was about half of what I expected it to be. Barely secret levels at all, the same basic and linear design through eight worlds (a step down from 19-year old SMW). Some levels were quite innovative but a lot of them lacked what made 2D Marios great back in the 80's and 90's. The biggest trumph on NSMBWii is the nostalgic feeling, and that's it =/

Are you sure that NSMBWii has less levels and worlds than SMW?

Silly question. Of course I am, otherwise I would not have said it :P

NSMBWii = 5 worlds with 8 levels plus 3 worlds with 9 levels plus 1 world with 10 levels = 77 levels within 9 worlds

Super Mario Bros has nine worlds too (Yoshi island, Donut island, vanilla fortress, twin bridges/mountains, forest of illusion, chocolate island, bowser valley, star world, special world) but 96 levels, mastefully slammed on a 1MB or so cartridge.

I'm not going to harp on it because it wasn't your only point but SMW does not have 96 levels, you were fooled:)

Those are the exit totals. The level count is about the same as NSMBWii.

96 exits, 72 levels. Is what I remember. I know that the game counted exits found and not levels completed anyway.



This is invisible text!

ROFFLE Mario World has less levels than NSMBWii. SMW inferior confirmed!
