Advantages: Great 4-way multiplayer quality, for a platformer Disadvantages: A lot of recycled or uninspired material
3 years after the successful reincarnation of the classic Super Mario Bros. adventuring recipe on the DS, Nintendo brings the formula to its second most popular console, also introducing what series' creator Shigeru Miyamoto was aspiring to integrate for the past couple of decades: true co-operative multiplayer modes.
The Story
You might easily regard the story of New Super Mario Brothers Wii as the biggest cliché of all time. It is, after all, about rescuing princesses from a dragons' fortresses and it's been pretty much the same for every Super Mario platformer in existence... but I choose to see it a bit differently.
I find the true story behind every Super Mario platformer is one of surreality & escapism. It's about being transported into a completely nonsensical world, one filled ...
