'New Super Mario Bros. Wii' Review - Hell Is Other People

13 Nov 2009 15:42:42 PST

Written by Russ Frushtick
Power-Up Variety I wish there was a little more variety in the power-ups for "New Super Mario Bros. Wii." As it is, the only brand new power-up is the penguin costume (gives Mario the ability to slide across water and throw ice balls), while the others have appeared in previous Mario games.

Mini-Review: Need For Speed: Shift

11 Nov 2009 08:00:00 PST

Written by MattG
In the beginning (well, my beginning) there was Super Mario Kart, and it was fun. My hunger for more speed led me up the ranks over the years intro increasingly serious titles such as Crusin' USA, F-Zero GX, and into this generation with Burnout Paradise. Now I've moved up one more step int...

GoNintendo ‘End of Day’ thoughts - Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story review by D3stiny_Sm4sher

03 Nov 2009 00:25:35 PST

Written by The News Team
For starters, the game has a completely ridiculous concept (well, even more ridiculous than usual): the Mario Bros. are sucked into Bowser’s body by accident when he eats a strange mushroom given to him by cult favorite, Fawful. Fawful steps right up to assume the role of lead villain this t...

It's the calm before the holiday release storm over in Japan right now, but a few new games caught our (and Famitsu's) attention nonetheless: - 3D Dot Game Heroes (8/8/7/7, 30 points): Famitsu's review of From Software's silly retro-RPG romp is about what you'd expect. "The gameplay and s...

GoNintendo ‘End of Day’ thoughts - Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story review

20 Oct 2009 00:44:37 PDT

Written by The News Team
Getting to play as Bowser and experiencing his viewpoints and personality from a playable sense is what really made this game for me. This Mario and Luigi entry is pretty much a giant excuse for Nintendo to publish a love-letter to one of gaming’s oldest villains. Getting to see Bowser fully...

12 Oct 2009 11:34:53 PDT

Written by Jamie Love
I did earnestly expect more from the central concept of switching between Bowser and the Mario Bros., which is necessary for changing the environments within Bowser, and in aiding him in accomplishing tasks spread throughout the Mushroom Kingdom. It takes a really long time for this to de...

4cr Review: Groovin’ Blocks

17 Sep 2009 14:19:46 PDT

Written by Gregory Gay
Most puzzle games have catchy soundtracks. It’s a psychological thing - use a thumping tune to set the pace of the game. You couldn’t get into a puzzle game that had a calm, fluffy soundtrack. You get pulled into the game by the frantic immediacy of its techno beats. Groovin’ Blocks is no differe...

Review: Mario Party DS (DS)

03 May 2009 11:00:00 PDT

Unlocking ancillary content in a game (alternate costumes, superfluous characters and items, and maybe even the odd vehicle or map here and there), while naturally progressing through that game, is perfectly acceptable. Unlocking the game itself (the core content through which you w...

Review: Wario Land: The Shake Dimension (Wii)

28 Apr 2009 00:00:00 PDT

For me Wario has always been more of a favourite than Mario, scandalous I know! However, his greedy lust for treasure, stitch-inducing humour combined with his zany mustache and general bad-boy attitude set him apart from good ol’ Mario. Wario has mostly been relegated to mini-games in h...

Written by solarblade
Now, it starts off quite serene and then you hear some dark gloomy sounds which is actually Bowser kidnapping Peach uhhhhhgain. Then this little marching pace happens and finishes up the track. Seem’s like Mario’s on the case uhhhhhhgain…So much for being interesting LOL.

Wii Music Review: Jam With The Bland

21 Oct 2008 16:20:00 PDT

Written by Michael McWhertor
Nintendo has created a piece of software that has brief flashes of fun, but little in the way of long-term enjoyment. In group settings, it will likely entertain for its impossible-to-fail gameplay and the resulting cacophony. Outside of morbid (or genuine) curiosity, it's hard to recom...

Review: Mario Kart Wii Skids Way Off The Road

02 May 2008 16:31:36 PDT

Written by Chris Kohler
Oh, Mario Kart. What have they done to you? The Mario Kart series, in which Nintendo's famous mascot characters jump into go-karts and race each other on wacky tracks, has been one of my favorite series ever since the 16-bit... 50, Nintendo Images courtesy Nintendo

Mario Kart Wii Review: I'm Not Angry, Just Disappointed

29 Apr 2008 10:00:00 PDT

Written by Luke Plunkett
Fun fact: I'm a total Mario Kart fanboy. For the record: Double Dash is my favourite (I know, I know). So I'm used to watching the Mario Kart series take small, baby-steps forward with each new version. In this case, I was expecting just that. Small steps forward. Mario Kart Wii, however, feels mo...

Super Mario Galaxy Review

14 Nov 2007 00:41:59 PST

Written by address-withheld@my.opera.com.invalid (Eric)
When I first heard about Super Mario Galaxy I thought Miyamoto and Nintendo have finally lost it. The Nintendo Wii wasn’t a system for gamers; everything that’s been out so far hasn’t really justified the $250 price tag and all the awesome games we were promised this year got delayed. To me it...

Nintendo Wii Review: Mario Strikers Charged

06 Aug 2007 08:13:51 PDT

Written by Brian Szabelski
The fact that the Wii has been getting so many ports has been a sore spot for many Wii owners, even though games like Metroid Prime 3: Corruption, Battalion Wars 2, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl are set to come out in the next few months. However, not every port is cause for conce...

Nintendo Wii Review: Mario Strikers Charged

05 Aug 2007 21:07:52 PDT

Written by Matt Paprocki
Many of the significant issues with Mario Strikers Charged lie with Super Mario Strikers on the Gamecube. Out of the Mario sports games, this is the least compelling, fun, and inventive. While Mario Golf and Mario Tennis take a backseat, Strikers is the spin-off to gain an unnecessary sequ...

Nintendo Wii Review: Mario Party 8

27 Jun 2007 19:16:16 PDT

Written by Matthew Valdez
There are six themed boards in Mario Party 8. To name a few, you have: Donkey Kong, Mario Sunshine, Luigi’s Mansion, and a level that looks like the Super Smash Bros. Melee Earthbound level. Some of the levels have unique elements to them. For instance, in Luigi’s Mansion, the board is a mystery...

GAME: Review: Mario Party 8 for Wii

08 Jun 2007 13:46:00 PDT

Written by James
Graphically and sound-wise, it's about what you'd expect. All your favorites--Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, etc--look a little better than in the past, but not much better than on other Wii games. Meanwhile, the characters keep their ageless sound effects.

Nintendo Wii Review: Super Paper Mario

03 Jun 2007 16:02:06 PDT

Written by Matt Paprocki
Games such as Super Paper Mario are all you need to justify buying a Wii. This is a true system seller, reassuring players that while Nintendo will milk Mario with disasters like Mario Hoops on the DS, there's always a way to bring him back. This is a game just shy of perfection.

Nintendo Wii Review: Super Paper Mario

07 May 2007 20:46:26 PDT

Written by Brian Szabelski
The Legend of Zelda: Twlight Princess’ run as the single must-have Wii game has come to an end. Super Paper Mario is an enjoyable game, especially for Mario fans looking for something a bit more old-school, like New Super Mario Bros. was on the DS. Super Paper Mario successfully blends 2-D pla...

DVD Review: The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! Volume 2

The format of the show (1989-1990) was part live-action (with Danny Wells and Former Wrestler Captain Lou Albano as Mario and Luigi) set in the basement of the Mario Brothers plumbing business, while the other half was animated and set in Mushroom Land (where the majority of the original...
