Look, everyone knows not to listen to Joust about anything Nintendo. It's common knowledge that Nintendo raped his mom and stole his pop tarts at some point in his life.

For once I agree with you.

People should listen to me more than you when it comes to Nintendo. I think they suck ass, you think they're perfect. Since they're closer to sucking ass, I'm a better barometer.

"My extreme is more right than your extreme!"

I played some multi-player with my daughter today and didn't really like it. It's too hard for a child to play, which means that passing a single stage takes forever. She must have continued a dozen times! I'm sure that with people who have more experience playing platformers, it must be a lot better. This doesn't seem to be a good family game to play with kids though due to the difficulty for them.

I love the level design, and the graphics are fine by me. I see a bit too much DS rehashing overall, but it's not enough to kill the game for me. The music is way below what you'd expect from the series though. I liked the Koopa Kid castle music remix of the Bowser theme from SMB, but everything else sucks. You get the MSMB DS theme in every other stage, and I've not heard a single Mario standard up through world 3.

This game looks like a DS game. Cant they at least put some effort into the graphics. It also sounds like a DS game. Mario Galaxy sounded great, what happened to this? Yes the game is awesome, but it still seems like a DS game ported to Wii.

I love New Super Mario Bros Wii, but I agree with this - I kind of wish this was on the DS because I would probably do multiple playthroughs of it without question.
Either way, though, I'm really digging the game and having a lot of fun. Love the difficulty of it and looking forward to giving multiplayer a try when I can gather some people for it.

Also, it has me hyped for the new Galaxy.

I'd rather own a car that can go 200 mph than one that goes only 40 mph. I'm smart enough to pay attention and ease my foot off the gas.

I'm only about halfway through the first world so far, but I'm loving it. Also, I know it has nothing to do with the game itself, but I liked the red packaging, and the fact that they actually put some effort into the disc art.

My only complaint so far: unless I'm missing something, do I seriously have to complete the fortress every time I want to perma-save? Because that's no fun.

[epmode]

It's just like the DS game. You can permasave after each level only after finishing the game.

Anyway, I had about 40 lives at the start of world 2 so I don't think the quicksaves will be a problem.

That's not to say the game levels are ridiculously easy or anything. I've already seen some tricky stuff. It's just that it's SO EASY to get extra lives.

[Andrew]

Ah, okay. I noticed that about the extra lives. I was asking basically for purposes of getting all the star coins, etc. I guess I'll plow through the main game first, then go back and pick up all the extras.
