By Russ Frushtick Power-Up Variety I wish there was a little more variety in the power-ups for "New Super Mario Bros. Wii." As it is, the only brand new power-up is the penguin costume (gives Mario the ability to slide across water and throw ice balls), while the others have appeared in previous Mario games.

By David Hinkle New Super Mario Bros. Wii isn't a game for you to play by yourself. Sure, you could, but it's just not going to be the best way to extract all of the fun the experience has to offer. Instead, you really should try to corral some friends together for multiplayer, which is guaranteed to do one of two t...

By MattG In the beginning (well, my beginning) there was Super Mario Kart, and it was fun.  My hunger for more speed led me up the ranks over the years intro increasingly serious titles such as Crusin' USA, F-Zero GX, and into this generation with Burnout Paradise.  Now I've moved up one more step int...

By The News Team For starters, the game has a completely ridiculous concept (well, even more ridiculous than usual): the Mario Bros. are sucked into Bowser’s body by accident when he eats a strange mushroom given to him by cult favorite, Fawful. Fawful steps right up to assume the role of lead villain this t...

By tailsthehedgehog Like the Wii version, M&S2 on the DS provides a menagerie of sports for you to play behind the ears of Sonic, Mario and friends. Unlike the Wii version, the DS goes one ski-pole further and offers an adventure mode: The adventure Tour. Bowser and Dr Eggman have kidnapped the Snow Spiri...

By Kevin Gifford It's the calm before the holiday release storm over in Japan right now, but a few new games caught our (and Famitsu's) attention nonetheless: - 3D Dot Game Heroes (8/8/7/7, 30 points): Famitsu's review of From Software's silly retro-RPG romp is about what you'd expect. "The gameplay and s...

By RawmeatCowboy Huge thanks to Weeman for the heads up! Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - 8/10 Connected: Expanding the gameplay Quad Damage: Mission mode allows up to four players to select a character and team up for a curious blend of co-operative and competitive action, with plenty of rewards to be earned. B...

By RawmeatCowboy “The game does start off as easy as its handheld sibling did (by the end of World 3 we had earned 68 lives), but it soon gets fiendishly difficult and will have even the most die-hard Mario players cursing at times. Instead of feeling like it was designed primarily for four players with the sin...

By The News Team Getting to play as Bowser and experiencing his viewpoints and personality from a playable sense is what really made this game for me. This Mario and Luigi entry is pretty much a giant excuse for Nintendo to publish a love-letter to one of gaming’s oldest villains. Getting to see Bowser fully...

By The News Team Moving on, the guys over at Official Nintendo Magazine have a final build of New Super Mario Bros. Wii in their office right now. Working for Nintendo magazine sure has its perks! Specifically, ONM staffer Chris Scullion has had a chance to not only play, but complete New Super Mario Bros. Wii....

By Jamie Love I did earnestly expect more from the central concept of switching between Bowser and the Mario Bros., which is necessary for changing the environments within Bowser, and in aiding him in accomplishing tasks spread throughout the Mushroom Kingdom. It takes a really long time for this to de...

By MattG Mario and Luigi have been getting under nemesis Bowser's skin for nearly twenty-five years now, but in the plumbers' latest adventure, Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, the duo actually get inside Bowser's skin, stomach, brain, muscles, and various other parts of the Koopa k...

By Gregory Gay Most puzzle games have catchy soundtracks. It’s a psychological thing - use a thumping tune to set the pace of the game. You couldn’t get into a puzzle game that had a calm, fluffy soundtrack. You get pulled into the game by the frantic immediacy of its techno beats. Groovin’ Blocks is no differe...

By RawmeatCowboy Article here Let me clear this up. I am very, very excited for Super Mario Galaxy 2. With that said, the music in the trailer absolutely killed the footage for me. I had a smile on my face while watching, but in the back of my mind, all I could think about was the [...]

By Nick So there we had Super Mario Galaxy 2 and at first I was a bit disappointed that Galaxy 2 is so close to Galaxy. Then it dawned on me that Nintendo may have figured out the prefect way to present Mario in 3D with this series. Mario isn’t about having a large open world to roam around in, spending his t...

Unlocking ancillary content in a game (alternate costumes, superfluous characters and items, and maybe even the odd vehicle or map here and there), while naturally progressing through that game, is perfectly acceptable. Unlocking the game itself (the core content through which you w...

For me Wario has always been more of a favourite than Mario, scandalous I know! However, his greedy lust for treasure, stitch-inducing humour combined with his zany mustache and general bad-boy attitude set him apart from good ol’ Mario. Wario has mostly been relegated to mini-games in h...

By rss@youtube.com (InecomCompany) Part 1 of 2. Classic Game Room HD reviews MARIO KART Wii for the Nintendo Wii. This game is the bomb for those of you looking for intense, colorful and competitive kart racing gameplay on the Wii. We use the Wii wheel in this review. This Mariokart review of Mario Kart has gameplay footage from Mar...

By solarblade Now, it starts off quite serene and then you hear some dark gloomy sounds which is actually Bowser kidnapping Peach uhhhhhgain.  Then this little marching pace happens and finishes up the track.  Seem’s like Mario’s on the case uhhhhhhgain…So much for being interesting LOL.

By Michael McWhertor Nintendo has created a piece of software that has brief flashes of fun, but little in the way of long-term enjoyment. In group settings, it will likely entertain for its impossible-to-fail gameplay and the resulting cacophony. Outside of morbid (or genuine) curiosity, it's hard to recom...

By Rangebar Merani Mario Super Sluggers is a perfect fit for the Nintendo Wii with fun arcade-style gameplay, colorful and interactive environments, and simple toss-and-swing motion controls, Sluggers has all the makings of a typical Mario sports game.

By Rich 1995- NHL '96 - As is required by law in the state of Michigan, my family kept up with hockey fairly regilously.  We dutifully bought the first entry in EA's hockey franchise, NHLPA '93, a worthy successor to our last heavily played sports game, Blades of Steel.

Braid takes the form of an old school platformer, those ones that we used to play on the Commodore 64 or the Apple ][. Stages, for the most part don't scroll on forever like in Super Mario Bros, but are usually only a screen or two, with the artists taking advantage of today's big high-definiti...

By hey_suburbia GameSpot - 65 It’s not another Mario sports gem, but Mario Super Sluggers still has a rough, unpolished appeal. GamePro - 60 Poor controls, frustrating gameplay and a repetitive single-player mode mean it’s three strikes and you’re out for Mario and his friends.

By David Hinkle Mario Super Sluggers very much feels like a first-party game, despite being developed by Namco. It's got a plethora of Nintendo characters, wonderful bits of fan service and quite the bit of polish. There aren't that many flaws in the game, and the single biggest is only the lack of a label on...

Welcome back Mario Kart, console edition Not just do you have a snazzy new Mario Kart game, but with it comes an official licensed Wii Wheel. Stick your Wiimote into the wheel and use the wheel to steer your kart, instead of looking a bit arb tilting a remote control left and right, oh, and it is bundled free. You got to love Nintendo! If by chance you do not agree with the idea of using motion controls for playing Mario Kart games, you have a wealth of options by using the Nunchuck & Wiimote, Classic or GameCube controller. I found the Wii Wheel to be the control method of choice. Pros: Mario Kart Online – with friends; bikes; free Wii Wheel.   [read the full post]

By Kenneth England Share This American Wii owners who were disappointed by the exclusion of Dr. Mario from the US launch of the WiiWare service can finally enjoy a true Nintendo classic with the release of Dr. Mario Online Rx here in the States. It took them a while, but regardless, it is here, and it is pretty much...

By moneysworthless Close to a month after it's release, Mario Kart Wii stands as one of the most frantic and addictive multiplayer experiences available for the Wii. That being said, the latest iteration of Nintendo's classic kart-racing franchise is by no means perfect, and is hampered down by quite a few f...

By Chris Greenhough Reviving a seventeen-year-old puzzle game seems like a strange way of kick-starting a download service that promises "genre-defying gameplay." That said, we find it easy to forgive Dr. Mario & Germ Buster for its lack of innovation. While not the perfect version we had hoped for, Arik...

By Chris Kohler Oh, Mario Kart. What have they done to you? The Mario Kart series, in which Nintendo's famous mascot characters jump into go-karts and race each other on wacky tracks, has been one of my favorite series ever since the 16-bit... 50, Nintendo Images courtesy Nintendo

By Luke Plunkett Fun fact: I'm a total Mario Kart fanboy. For the record: Double Dash is my favourite (I know, I know). So I'm used to watching the Mario Kart series take small, baby-steps forward with each new version. In this case, I was expecting just that. Small steps forward. Mario Kart Wii, however, feels mo...

By Sal Cangeloso Share This It’s been almost 16 years since we first played Mario Kart and in that time the game has become one of Nintendo’s biggest franchises. In addition to being an important part of Nintendo’s repertoire, it has earned a reputation as being one of the most approachable racing games on a...

By Keen came out yesterday! Graev and I have been fans of Mario Kart games since the SNES and have played every version including the hand held DS releases. The game has this unexplainable charm — all Mario Karts do. Seeing the Nintendo characters driving Go-Karts, Dragsters, bizarre contraption...

By Luke Plunkett In other words, use the Wii Remote & nunchuk, and only the Wii Remote & nunchuk. The Wii Wheel and 'Cube controllers should be thought of as Mad Catz peripherals: only for use by guests in multiplayer games. Guests you don't like. As for the Wii Remote on its own...I told you to forget about...

By Susan Arendt When people tell me that the Wii is destined to fail because of the disparity between first party and third party games, I am reminded of my mom, who has no idea who makes  Super Smash Bros. or Mario Kart, and couldn't possibly care less. In fact, the only Nintendo game besides Wii Sports to spar...

By Luke Plunkett The worldwide innovator in the creation of interactive entertainment, Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan, manufactures and markets hardware and software for its Wii™, Nintendo DS™, Game Boy® Advance and Nintendo GameCube™ systems. Since 1983, Nintendo has sold nearly 2.5 billion vide...

By address-withheld@my.opera.com.invalid (Eric) When I first heard about Super Mario Galaxy I thought Miyamoto and Nintendo have finally lost it. The Nintendo Wii wasn’t a system for gamers; everything that’s been out so far hasn’t really justified the $250 price tag and all the awesome games we were promised this year got delayed. To me it...

By Brian Szabelski The fact that the Wii has been getting so many ports has been a sore spot for many Wii owners, even though games like Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Battalion Wars 2, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl are set to come out in the next few months. However, not every port is cause for conce...

By Matt Paprocki Many of the significant issues with Mario Strikers Charged lie with Super Mario Strikers on the Gamecube. Out of the Mario sports games, this is the least compelling, fun, and inventive. While Mario Golf and Mario Tennis take a backseat, Strikers is the spin-off to gain an unnecessary sequ...

By Mark Wilson Some people call it soccer, others call it football, and most Americans just call it boring. But as the world's national pastime, kicking a ball around into a net is pretty ultimate. Combined with Nintendo's most famous characters in history, you get Mario Strikers Charged.

By Matthew Valdez There are six themed boards in Mario Party 8. To name a few, you have: Donkey Kong, Mario Sunshine, Luigi’s Mansion, and a level that looks like the Super Smash Bros. Melee Earthbound level. Some of the levels have unique elements to them. For instance, in Luigi’s Mansion, the board is a mystery...

By James Graphically and sound-wise, it's about what you'd expect. All your favorites--Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, etc--look a little better than in the past, but not much better than on other Wii games. Meanwhile, the characters keep their ageless sound effects.

By Matt Paprocki Games such as Super Paper Mario are all you need to justify buying a Wii. This is a true system seller, reassuring players that while Nintendo will milk Mario with disasters like Mario Hoops on the DS, there's always a way to bring him back. This is a game just shy of perfection.

By Brian Szabelski The Legend of Zelda: Twlight Princess’ run as the single must-have Wii game has come to an end. Super Paper Mario is an enjoyable game, especially for Mario fans looking for something a bit more old-school, like New Super Mario Bros. was on the DS. Super Paper Mario successfully blends 2-D pla...

By Brian Ashcraft Clip: Bottle-Blowing Mario Love In by temporaryscars And I don't care what anyone says... the Cube did not "lose" this generation. It was definitely the winner for me, and realistically, it was right on par with the XBox (in sales and graphical quality)... except Nintendo profited.

By Matthew Milam The format of the show (1989-1990) was part live-action (with Danny Wells and Former Wrestler Captain Lou Albano as Mario and Luigi) set in the basement of the Mario Brothers plumbing business, while the other half was animated and set in Mushroom Land (where the majority of the original...

By Ken Edwards New Super Mario Bros. is setup in the very traditional eight worlds akin to Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World, including an overworld map, towers, ghost houses, Toad houses, and of course castles to finish a world.
