9.5 from IGN

Either way I always wanted this game, and now I want it even more.

[Teuthida]

Might even be better than Yoshi's Island he says. *strokes chin* Then again Wario Land 2 is actually the greatest "Mario" game IMO.

I'm more amazed IGN updated on a weekend rather than the score.

[Dyne]

Jesus christ. Paycheck cooooooooooommmmmmmmeeeeeeeeee

[Jason1]

Yea, this should be nice. Im looking foward to it.

[GameMaster]

OMFG! Where has this game been all my life?!

OMFG! Where has this game been all my life?!

In the minds of some crazy jap guy.

I'm excited. I just need a wii little job.

They are very desperate for the exclusive review. The game isn't even out until the 15th. Everyone has permission to post a review this week I believe, but most won't because it'll likely be lost amongst E3 news.

One of my co-workers just got the game for his review, and he's going insane over it. Looks phenominal.

Yay, I get paid right before it comes out. may as well grab it :D

I'm amazed Nintendo didn't change the name. "New Super Mario Bros."...... cheesy!

[Teuthida]

Don't remember the exact quote but someone said with naming conventions like that he should have seen Wii coming from a mile away.

Anyway, my frothing demand for this game increases.

Yeah, but what's a better name? "New" Super Mario Brothers is likely to capture the most market share. People will recognize it and buy it out of nostalgia.

Sure, you could slap a number on the end. But they're not Capcom.

[DarkMaster]

They should've called it Super Mario Bros. X5 Alpha MAX

[Teuthida]

"New" is an ephemeral name though. Nothing is new forever. Does this mean this is the last SMB they plan to ever do and thus shall always be the newest one?

[bobcat]

Mario Bros DS? That was already taken b4.
Or Super Gianni Sisters!

[Canyarion]

Sequel: Newer Super Mario Bros!

No, the sequel will probably be called New Super Mario Bros 2. Just like Metroid Prime got a sequel called Metroid Prime 2. >.<

[Neo]

Anyone pick it up yet?

[GameMaster]

I heard it's hard to find.

[BreakABone]

Not hard for me to find at all.

And at Circuit City's discounted price.

Anyhow, "new" is a relative term in this game. More would of been better. This is super mario bros 2k6 and that is nothing but a good thing.

They added moves from later games and new powerups but for the most part. Its the simple, fire flower rules all gameplay of the original with some unique twists and turns here and there.

It is indeed an awesome game.

[Dyne]

I'll pick it up when I get an xbox 360 game tomorrow.

[Canyarion]

The more I see (and hear) of this game, the more I want it. But no DS. :(

[Jason1]

Yea, its fun. Possibly a little too easy so far, but im not very far into it yet. Finding the 3 coins in each level is fun!

[thatmariolover]

Yeah I'm really enjoying it. It's a bit easier to play, but harder to master than the other 2-D Mario games. On world 4 at the moment, but I warped (unknowingly) so I'm headed back to World 3 to finish that before I move on.

[Dyne]

I just got it, and it's really good. I don't know if it's worth the money or not yet, but it is good.

[Teuthida]

Just got it today (after waiting 2 weeks for delivery) and beat. Ran through it quickly to gain the ability to save anytime. Now gonna go back and get all the coins and find all the hidden levels and goodies.

[Teuthida]

Yay 3 stars on my file. All star coins found and spent, all levels beat, all alternative exits found...and um...now...uh, I guess time for a new game.

[Angekat]

I really liked all the nifty mini-games... Speed on the DS...Amazing.
