New Super Mario Bros U Review.

Hey guys I am back and welcome to Video Game Week. Everything I make this week will have something to do with video games. So today I am doing a Review on New Super Mario Bros U for the new Wii U. I want to tell you ahead of time that my reviews are spoiler free. Since I'm using an ipod and it is hard to make spoiler tabs that is what I do.

 

Mario is back and it is his first time ever being on the Wii U and in 1080p! Once again bowser captures Princess Peach, and Mario, Luigi and two toads go out to save her. You will travel through 8 worlds all having different themes. This time the world map is world map is all connected instead of warping to different worlds much like the world map in Super Mario World. In gameplay there is not much different than most other mario games exept the addition of the acorn. The acorn gives you the power of a flying squirrel. There is also three different types of baby yoshi, pink, blue and yellow. Pink acts as a balloon so if you shake the gamepad or press the ZR button he will propel you up into the air. The blue yoshi can shoot bubbles out of its mouth that can kill enemies and you can use the bubbles to bounce up into the air. Lastly the yellow yoshi will light up dark areas and can stun enemies. The game looks really nice and has a really glossy look to it. Though when looking at the gamepad it looks pixelated sometimes. The soundtrack for the game is once again recycled with a few minor changes, Nintendo says that the soundtrack is important but why are they using the same soundtrack over and over?

 

Here are my ratings for the game

 

Gameplay: 7/10

 

Graphics: 9/10

 

Soundtrack: 6/10 its getting repetitive

 

Overall: 8/10

I'd say you've rated the music and graphics pretty well, the gameplay's a little underrated imo, it's still solid platforming and they've mixed it in well with the power-ups and everything. It's really awesome single player.

 

You should've tried the multiplayer as well though, it's a pretty big part of the game and it would be unfair giving it an overall without looking at that. Especially with the use of the GamePad. I think that the multiplayer could have been fun, but it's just a bit too chaotic and doesn't really hit the spot. So it ends up that I actually do in fact agree with the overall :P


Regarding why Nintendo are using the same soundtrack again? I was reading an interview with the person who's doing the 'New' Super Mario Bros. series, and he says he's going to stick with it because it's a good formula ¬_¬ I was reading all the comments in that post and everyone was just moaning at the stupidity :P and that was when NSMB2 was being made for the 3DS (the golden one) I'll try find the link for you if you'd like it?
