During Christmas Eve back in 1991, I stayed the night over at my best friend's house in anticipation of playing his Super Nintendo. We both woke up at about 2 in the morning & found it laying helplessly under the tree. Like most kids, we took off just a corner of the wrapping paper to confirm our suspicions and then waited for his mom to wake up. I'll never forget that Christmas Day as it was the first time I had played Super Mario World. Flash forward 20+ years and we now have New Super Mario Bros for Wii U. It's the first game that has made me feel like it was Christmas every time that I play it. I've played every Halo game...every PS3 blockbuster...every definitive Wii title and there's nothing that compares to the fun and excitement that New Super Marios Bros for Wii U brings me. In fact, I brought the Wii U home for Thanksgiving this year and every person that played it (whether a 30 year old adult or a 7 year old little girl) had a smile from ear to ear. This game is not only for classic Mario lovers, but for a whole new generation of would-be plumbers.

New Super Mario Bros U makes the Wii U worth the buy alone. I think it's a fun, amazing game that anyone any age can appreciate.The game I played most when I was a kid was Super Mario 3 for the Nintendo. This game more than lives up to the name. It seems like it takes all the best things from every single Mario game and combines them into a masterpiece. Countless times you will find yourself smiling remembering something from your past. Finding secret areas, using all the power-ups, fighting stuff on the map, dungeons, and bosses are just so much fun. Time comes into play as well, it makes you try to move fast and explore, all while trying to beat the clock. There are tons of hidden areas and each level has 3 star coins. The Miiverse plays a role here too where you can leave comments on levels to help each other out or just say that you are happy you beat the level. For single player the Wii U tablet remote doesn't serve as a real purpose other than mirroring the screen, if you want you can play solely on that and let someone else use the TV.The multiplayer is crazy and exciting. Some people would complain about other players on the screen because they run into you and mess you up but I find it to be more fun. You have to not only watch yourself but watch your teammates and work with them to get past obstacles. It's worth noting that you need a Wii remote for each character playing. For instance 1 Wii remote + 1 Wii tablet = only 1 person on screen while the tablet player has a different function. For 2 player you need 2 Wii remotes. This game can be played by 5 people, 4 players on the screen using Wii remotes and 1 person using the Wii tablet. My friend and I have never had a dull moment and have had to stop for a minute because we were laughing so hard. Playing with friends adds to the complexity and makes you work together to accomplish getting to secret areas.Mario looks amazing in HD and this game is a must have for any Nintendo fan.Update Feb 2013: Nintendo announced that there will be upcoming New Super Luigi Bros. U DLC coming for this game. Which seems like it will redo every map with a Luigi twist to it. Also I realized I didn't add that the Wii U Pro controller will NOT work with this game either, so you are stuck with Wii Remotes.Update May 2013: Super Luigi U DLC officially announced as a $20 download on June 20th. My friend and I have finally beaten all the levels and gotten all the star coins. The bonus star world has some extremely fun levels.Update June 2013: Super Luigi U is out as DLC to this game, you can also buy a physical copy but it won't be released until Aug 25. This DLC is not a drastic change from the original game. You get the same map with all the levels reworked. They are shorter and you are supposed to complete them in a faster amount of time. To me it seems a little easier. The physics (jumping and running) are different too. I personally don't like it as much. Also when playing with 4 player, whoever uses Nabbit gets bored since he can't die and it's cheating on all the boss fights. I wouldn't say this is a must have, but if you like Luigi and have the spare money you might as well.Update July 2013: Thanks to Kyle B. in the comments, I've also been informed with the Luigi U update the game can now use the Pro controller which is a nice addition. My friend and I have played some more of the Luigi U DLC and it's just not as fun. We don't find ourselves laughing nearly as much and it seems we are always out of time, even though I know that's the point of the shorter times. If you play as Nabbit it is still horribly boring.

Edited: 8-21-2013. With Nintendo's latest Super Luigi U patch, I'm happy to say that the Pro Controller is now available to use with this game. Nintendo listened!! It is one of the reasons why I wrote the review here on Amazon, as well as posted on their Facebook page. Because of this, I am going to raise the review of this game to 4 stars. Why is one star lacking? I've been playing Mario games since the 80's and I would like to see more variety in the levels. The Vincent Van Gogh inspired levels were brilliant! I would have liked to see more risks like that taken in the game. The thing that made Donkey Kong Country 1,2 and 3 on the SNES so brilliant were the variety of level theming between games. Mario always repeats the ice, fire, desert, etc. EVERY game. Also, the mini-bosses...always the same. Throw in Birdo, Donkey Kong or Wario in the mix. Lastly, many of the levels have the same music from the 3DS version (ie desert level). That's just lazy. Having said all of that, I do love the game and feel Nintendo puts out a good, fun, wholesome product.---------------------------One of the most important aspects of any video game is the controls. Why on Earth does Nintendo force us to play with a sub par controller? Why not give it's players an option to use the Pro Controller? It's completely baffling. I don't want to "waggle" to make Mario perform a certain function, I want to push a button, like I have for the past 30 years.Nintendo....OPTIONS!!!!!!
