Another amazing release from the Mario Bros franchise. Somehow Nintendo continues to capture the original feel of NES’ Super Mario Bros. While introducing fun new challenges and power-ups.

I enjoy playing this game with friends. As mentioned in other reviews, I enjoy cooperative gaming and the New Super Mario Bros U does not let down. Using the Wii U Gamepad as a secondary player allows you to interact with the environment. I found myself stunning enemies and dropping power blocks to help my Mario pals.

The graphics in the New Super Mario Bros U are a beautiful blend of the Mario style we are used to and high resolution rendering that we’ve grown accustomed to in other consoles.

Don’t forget to check out the New Super Luigi U, included in the Mario Wii U bundle.

Perfect score if you get the version where Sid can put a hamster in the microwave. Almost perfect score if you play the censored version. Either way this game is incredible and we haven't seen it's like since it was made. The number of different endings and solutions...
