New Super Mario Bros. Wii

same here, I would like to pick up a copy somewhere after the game. Are gamestop, etc. having a midnight release?

Was pretty cool so far. Old school with couple new twists.

I hadn't even heard of this game untill I read about it in this thread yesterday. I guess I just liked the older games because I went buy this right when I left work. I am loving this game so far. It reminds me a lot of Super Mario World for SNES which was my favorite.

I like the newer style games where you can move in all directions too, but I've been saying for a while that I wish they would make some games in the old 2-D paneling across the screen style. I also like that when you play multi-player, you don't have to wait for your turn. Everyone goes at the same time.

I prefer to play the game by myself. But if someone else wants to play, the multiplayer is better than just sitting around and waiting for your turn.

This is the hardest entry in the series since Super Mario Bros 3. But god is it great. This game was meant for old schoolers, since I think that the fact that it is 2-D would be a turnoff for younger gamers. Thought Mario Galaxy was way too easy, but they've now made up for it with the difficulty of this game. Technically I'm in World 6, but I just found a canon that helped me get there.

I'm assuming you don't HAVE to save the toads once they pop back up on a completed course..Those things are hard to keep alive, kinda seems annoying to save them.

Great game though. Haven't played much multiplayer yet, but game is lots of fun. I've died more than i thought i would, it's better when a little harder.

Bought this game last night and I give it a 10/10. If you like old school Marios, you'll love this game.
