Hooked on the brothers? I am. And so is Reiko. We're both dorks! And it's awesome. It's our new evening spectacular: forget crappy television programming, we've got New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
For the first time ever, we've found our game that we can play side by side - the co-op nature works beautifully. The gameplay is straight-up old school Mario: 2D side-scrolling with collecting as much loot as possible along the way before making it to the flag pole.
And it's total fan service this time, bringing back all the best elements of SMB3 and SMW (Yoshi!), and adding that to the formula crafted for New Super Mario Bros. for the DS. The new power-ups are also sweet; the beanie propeller hat may be best form of flying yet as it can really save your ass, and the penguin suit's special sliding and swimming abilities, coupled with the ability to throw ice, also make it a well-balanced suit.
Finished the game last Friday but going back now to unlock everything and get all the coins. Just completed through world 3 yesterday, working on 4 now. I'm an addict: I can't stop until I've got everything this time.
