IGN has awarded New Super Mario Bros U the esteemed accolade of platformer of the year. Mario’s latest adventure was put up against Fez, Rayman Jungle Run, Sound Shapes, and Spelunky. IGN praised New Super Mario Bros U saying that it contains brutally twisted bite-sized challenge stages and some of the most insanely creative level design ever seen in the series.
AWESOME!
am I first!? :O
penis Not your until take butt! you my out
No, even if your penis is in my butt the front of my body is still in front of you so I am still first ;)
Well answered!! :)
;)
NOOOOO!!!!!!! NOT UNTIL HE REMOVES HIS PENIS!!! (I know I am replying a bit late but I had no internet for about 2 weeks now.
And I am not sure if I can agree. I liked Pokémon more.
there was a pokemon platformer?
Oh shit. At the time I was in the comment section I already forgot.
My mistake.
That’s not a platformer.
._.
Well deserved. But I can not see any real competition in this cathegory which is sad as platformers have a big place in my heart :/
No one dares go up against Mario that’s why!? :P
ikr? you KNOW that’s the REAL reason they moved Rayman Legends to 2013 because they didn’t want to go up against Mario
Sound Shapes was probably my favorite out of the category. It was amazing. There were quite a few good platformers this year. NSMBU was pretty good too, so I’m okay with it getting the top spot.
Have you played fez?! Thats some competition right there. :) Lovely platform :)
I duno, Fez is pretty epic…
Plus it has original music, instead of “BWAH BWAH! *same tune for the last 4 games* BWAH BWAH!”
You aint played it yet , amirite ? You will be converted when you play this game. It’s incredible. It really makes the other NSMB’s look like horse shit in comparison.
Meh, i duno.
It’s probably good, but the setting, the music and artstyle just put me off -.- the only level that interests me is the one based on a Van Gogh painting.
I feel like when i put in a Mario game, i should feel like im exploring a new world, and they all have their own style, and music, and even enemies, every Mario has had that, but then NSMB came and its lost that, so by NSMBU i just dont care -.-
I WAS in the same boat as you bro. I played NSMB2 for about 13 hours and then sold it , cus it was just not engrossing enough. So I bought NSMBU out of fanboyism expecting the same thing. WRONG! This game is incredible. There isn’t just one level that’s beautiful like the van gogh level , there’s tons like the Giant enemy world the snow worlds with all the stars. The game looks absoloutly stunning aswell. One of the best looking games I’ve played this year . Two screens are always running on single player and you get this crazy 3d sound effect from the speakers of the gamepad and the TV.
You HAVE to try this game. Challenge mode is what you have always wanted out of the series , Miiverse integration is just awesome , All the star coins and sublime level design provide one of the best 2d mario games ever , The visuals are outstanding , etc etc etc etc
I Have done about 35 hours on NSMBU now. It is NOT like NSMB2 .
9.5/10 – My honest review. Give it a try and you won’t regret it :)
Challenge mode is a shit load of challenges ( suprisingly ) where you have to do there almost impossible in some cases missions. Some have you clearing a level without touching the ground , other speed running to collect all coins in a level , others bouncing of the heads of 40 Goombas consecutively , etc etc.
The challenge mode is one of the best things to happen to mario ever. It’s like The missions off Mario kart DS but better….
Im not saying i wont get it, i just wish Nintendo would make an actually NEW super mario game xD
Agreed. This is as ”NEW” as you’re gunna get for now though :P
Amen to that. I have yet to play this one (looking forward to it) but dammit Nintendo, you’re all about innovation and creativity so why not create some new locations in a Mario game for the old chap to prance around in? Isle Delfino-like levels in 2D would be nice to be honest
it really is best 2d mario since mario world
Definitely. It’s sad that people are labeling it ”just another NSMB game” Do you think IGN would of gave it that award if that was the case ? Neither do I…
The game is exactly what you want out of a NSMB game. I loved the remix music aswell. Love t
Have a nice day, my dear friend!
I would have given it to Mass attack but Kirby came out last year, luckily. That and I have bias since I’ve never been a big fan of side scrolling Mario games. This one was alright though.
It drrserves it.can’t wait for the DLC hope it’s more boost rush mode levels n not challenges.
if those games were it’s competition, it’s say it’s better, yeah
Ok, i know this isnt Nintendo related, but did anyone else see or buy that amazing deal on the ps store for Hitman Absolution? ._.
I would if my ps3 worked and i had money.
Nope. But I saw a lot of stores had it on sale for $39.99 this week and last.
£16 on psn…special edition too with the Sniper Challenge game…
It’s part of that 12 deals of Christmas thing
Ah. EU PSN. Go figure. North America tends to get the short end of the stick.
It’s usually £60 ._.
They’ve had some great deals, shame they only lasted 1 day, and i didnt get paid, missed out on half price NFS:Most Wanted :/
This game is so fun, glad it won.
i concur
agreed. i’ve beaten the game about 6 times now lol.
Easily one of the best Mario games I have played in a long time.
Haven’t completed it yet but I really want to at some point.
Been glued to Sonic Racing.
New Super Mario Bros. U truly deserves that award from IGN. I’m looking forward to Trine 2 and Razor’s Edge when I get the U next month.
Not deserved.
Have you even played it? I doubt it if you think the way you think, which game should’ve won instand? NSMB2?
Sound Shapes.
Well that’s your opinion,but IGN’s opinion is that NSMBU is that best platformer of the year.If you played it you’d be amazed.So much better than NSMB 3ds.
I have played it (Store demo thingy). Have to say certainly better than any Mario platformer I’ve played. But I still believe Sound Shapes was up there.
Reblogged this on Fergster's Other Blog.
Next year it’s gonna be even harder, with the Rayman Legends coming out, and we still ain’t got a clue of how’s it gonna be the new 3D Super Mario game =3 Anyways, it’s a cool victory, rightfully deserved!
I know most of you guys would agree with me in this but I have to say. I own this game ever played it completely twice. It’s good game if you compared to other New Super Mario Bros. However, I think Nintendo needs to step it up a bit. Music in mario games have always been great, but seriously, they need to make some new music because I am getting tired of the same shit over and over again. I definitely love boost and chal
Lenge mode and stuff like that is what these games need.
Spelunky is miles better, especially the new version. But NSMBU is pretty good.
