Got the game today and, since I couldn’t put much more than a day into it (and the game comes out November 15, 2009), I wanted to provide you with some quick tidbits. Here’s an easy-to-read but not necessarily easy-to-comprehend bullet-point preview of Nintendo’s multiplayer platformer, New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
Here weeee goes:
- Red is the new White.
- Software update required.
- Mario says “Wii” exactly the way you’d expect him to.
- Sixty-eight page manual (22 pages are English). Read it.
- Sideways WiiMote for retro control scheme but not the Classic Controller?
- Multiplayer means lots of lovely leaping (and plenty of extra death).
- Bursting bubbles is a good thing.
- Mapping a la Super Mario III?
- Sorry, the princess is not here.
- Yoshi is a Chocobo wannabe. Fruit is Yummy
- Ice balls and fire.
- Nice beanie.
- Beware of moving floors.
- Big red rings and little red coins
- Big gold coins.
- Infinite Lives hint!?
- Nunchuck is optional.
- Drop players and Quicksave.
- Save Toad’s friends!
- Butt slide, ground pound, wall grab, spin jump, super jump and then some.
- Suits galore.
- What’s with the gravity?
- Everything but the kitchen kart.
- Grab the flag as high as you can.
