Anyone Played New Super Mario Bros. Wii?

I really have to give it to Nintendo no this one! It's great! It's really great! No crazy long story or nothing... Just great old school game play! Love it! One of my biggest complaints on Wii for alot of games are, when they tell you how to shake your Wiimote over and over! Just teach us once and let us learn it! Cause if you keep showing us, it's no better than "Press A" on Power Rangers Sega CD! --- But Nintendo must of that about this, anything new about this game where you have to Wii specific movements, it shows you 2 or 3 times, and then never shows you again! It's great! But if you save the game and play it another day, it reminds you how to do it 2 or 3 times, and then no more... Pure Awesomeness! It's simple, but makes a huge difference in game play! And the 4 player mode is great! I can play with my 11 year old and my Girlfriend and her 4 year old, and we all love it!

I really want to play this game. I've heard nothing but good (if not great) things.

My wii died and my mom is getting it repaired to play this. I'll let you know how it plays out when my Wii is no longer a paper weight.

I don't have it yet, but looks quite good...
....

It's very good. A step up from New Super Mario Bros (DS). The single player plays a lot like Super Mario 3 and Super Mario World, which are, of course, the two best 2D Mario games ever made. And there's even a little Yoshi's Island thrown into the mix!(Yoshi's extra effort on jumps, hidden passageways). But instead of playing like a tribute to those games, Nintendo went out of their way to introduce new ideas, and they all work wonderfully.

Had no idea this was out yet. Need to get a new Wii for Mario Galaxy 2 and I guess this as well.

I think a lot of people would find that "2D" qualifier unnecessary ;)

I don't. I think Super Mario Galaxy is a masterpiece :D

Played it and it seems good, though I also enjoyed Super Paper Mario and Super Mario Galaxy.

I definitely want to pick up NSMBW. I liked Super Paper Mario, but sadly, I didn't really give Super Mario Galaxy a chance. I got it soon after I heard a quote from someone (I think maybe Miyamoto himself) who related it to Super Mario 64. Now, he might've just said "It's the best Mario since Mario 64," but when I heard Mario 64, I went "Sweet, I get to go exploring big, open worlds!" I got the game, but to my dismay, Super Mario Galaxy is incredibly linear by comparison. It really threw me off, and I don't think I enjoyed the game as much as I should've.

Needless to say, I'll be playing that game again sometime in the future, probably to hype myself up around the time Super Mario Galaxy 2 comes out.

Oh, one last thing, about NSMBW: Is the multiplayer fun to co-op, or does it turn into a "dick the other guy over" kinda thing?

I did not care much for New Super Mario Bros for the DS because it played more like the crappy first Super Mario game and less like Super Mario World which was far better in every way. Is this game the same way? Does it have any needless waggle?

As far as the 4-player thing, I've had enough of that in Little Big Planet.

I had the same issue with the DS game. Like I said before, this one plays much more like Super Mario Bros 3, Super Mario World, and Yoshi's Island. Plus it has a bunch of new ideas.

As for the waggle... It's there, and it's pretty needless besides certain tilt based platforms. It's not as prevalent as Wario, but it's there due to the fact that there are simply more actions than there are buttons available. I haven't tried the nunchuck-Wiimote combination yet, but I seriously doubt Nintendo took out the waggle.

I'll put it this way, if you were ok with the amount of waggle in Super Mario Galaxy, you'll be ok with this game.

I guess that just depends on who's playing... But it's nice! There are stars and stuff where you couldn't get to it other than having an extra player there. And if they accidentally die, they come back as a bubble you "POP" to let them back in the level... And I guess there are endless continues.. It counts how many continues you have used and not how many are left...

What waggle you have to do, makes alot of since, and especially since they only got us down to the 2 button (run/fire and jump) which I personally like, the have very few things that are needed for waggle, but seem very important to the game, and not pointless! It's great! Wish it was online play though!

Just got home with my copy!

You think Galaxy is better than SMB3 or World?
