New Super Mario Bros. Wii Requires Super Skills

Katrina "ShadokatRegn" Pawlowski October 20th, 2009 at 11:47 AM    


 

After complaints that the previous 2D Mario Bros. title on the Wii was embarrassingly easy, series creator Shigeru Miyamoto kicked New Super Mario Bros. Wii up a notch or 3. Instead of the cake walk we had in 2D before, expect a solid challenge with New Super Mario Bros. Wii, even in co-op - maybe the Demo Play feature will come in handy after all.

When asked about the game, Shigeru Miyamoto simply said it's "pretty difficult" and we now know that New Super Mario Bros. Wii celebrates the hardcore fans that grew up with Mario. You and your co-op buddies will need to use all of the "Super Skills" in your arsenal, as well as avoid jumping on each others heads too often, to win this one.

I have mixed feelings about that. On the one hand, hurray challenge! On the other, my wife gets frustrated easily. Hopefully the co-op aspects will allow us to help her along. At least until she suddenly jumps from apprentice to master like she did in Kingdom Hearts.

Just swallow her with yoshi and then spit her back out when you are past the hard part.

Or use the Demo Play which is there to aid "casual" gamers...

Do we know how that will work in co-op?

I thought I had read somewhere that the co-op was drop in / drop out and that if you wanted to, you could just drop out temporarily and the CPU would take over for you until you got back... If that is still the case, they could just do that on the hard parts.

Presumably the same way.

"New Super Mario Bros. Wii is also the first Nintendo game to feature a dynamic help system, which allows you to access a mode showing how a level can be completed if you are stuck."

from what all I read, this sounds like it can be the best Mario game since mario bros 3.

We had a hands-on article during PAX...there is no drop-in/drop-out at all (although they were considering adding it). Instead, you can request the game to show you the best way to complete an area, and then you can follow suit. I didn't get to try it out, but from what I understand, it doesn't play for you at all.

Demo Play

Marc/Djinni wrote this wonderful article out just for you guys; Demo play does NOT play through parts of the game for you, but you can call up a demonstration video of how to complete an area you're stuck in.

I never talk when I play online on COD. No one really says anything worth listening to, or no one talks whatsoever.
