New Super Mario Bros. 2 Scores High In First Review

New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be released in Japan on July 28th and in other regions next month. In Famitsu’s latest review list, each of the four critics awarded the upcoming Nintendo 3DS game with a 9/10 – which adds up to a total 36 points out of a possible 40. For the sake of comparison, New Super Mario Bros. Wii received a perfect score from the Japanese game magazine.

  1. I didn’t even want this game at first, but I’ve started wanting it more and more xD well, ill go pre order it now.

    1. The dev team half-assed the graphics and music and just added a coin-collecting gimmick (which makes the game less arcade-like). I predict the sales of this game will be significantly less than NSMB DS, but i hope it sells a lot.

      1. “The dev team half-assed the graphics and music”

        No, they didn’t, tard.

        1) What the fuck do you want the game to look like, Super Mario Galaxy 2?

        2) Do you even know what every music track is? No? Then shut up.

        1. “The dev team half-assed the graphics and music.”
          “No, they didn’t, tard.”

          Yes they did. The graphical style is exactly the same, and the music, while we haven’t heard the whole soundtrack, is basically the same happy-go-lucky generic music we’ve come to expect from the NSMB series.

          “1) What the fuck do you want the game to look like, Super Mario Galaxy 2?”

          Something other than the same generic, soul-less NSMB graphics that are the same in every game.

  2. Nice. My birthday is 8/20 & I’m taking the 19th & 20th off, upgrading to an XL & playing New Mario 2 with my room-mate & my other friend who is also upgrading to an XL & getting NSMB2 too. My co-worker IS also getting the game. We’ll be co-op & coin rush marathoning like “verge-of-collapse” Korean StarCraft junkies at a 3rd rate internet cafe. Good times ahead!

  3. 1. I’m curious to see why they believe it’s so good. Perhaps its a combination of the combined horizontal/vertical movement, the Coin Rush stages and whatever happens when you get 1 million coins.

    2. Mario Mario is now part of the 1%

  4. That makes me feel much better about buyin one. Although I still wanna hear what was praised and what needed improvements. That’ll seal the deal for me

  7. They gave NSMBWii a 40/40. I lol’d so very hard.

    Curious to see what they’ll give the new $50 DLC in HD for the Wii U.

    1. They gave NSMB Wii a 40/40 because it was a great game. You don’t really have any reason to laugh.

      1. It’s Nintendo bro, to Aeolus, it automatically sucks although, I do have to agree that the New Super Mario Bros series doesn’t really do anything new or unique with each entry.

        1. Actually from what I have read, he doesn’t hate nintendo, just the Wii … which is a fair excuse since it wasn’t the greatest IMO. Had a lot of fun, but that died quickly. If it at least had third party support it would have been so much better.

            1. You actually can’t prove that I can no matter what quotes you pull out of your ass, plenty of posters familiar with me no otherwise. You don’t and thank fucking heavens you don’t, because you’re too stupid to be worth communicating with.

            1. Pachter does that rather often and he doesn’t hate Nintendo.

              Can list a heap of other examples, but everyone must praise and love everything Nintendo does in your eyes. Just like *surprise*, a FANBOY.

        2. While I agree, that isn’t what it’s meant to do. It’s made so that people can play on it with their friends and families. There may be four of them now, but each of them are on different consoles so more people can play.

      2. NSMB Wii … the only decent part of that was the multiplayer, the rest of it bored me to death. I hope the 3DS version can win me back though, it certainly looks interesting.

        1. The only decent part about that game was when it sat in the closet dusting away with the Wii itself while I play Rayman Origins.

  9. I just noticed it’s Wario’s 20th anniversary this year
    and they didn’t add him to the one game that looks PERFECT for him

  10. They also gave the original DS game 36/40 by the way, if that’s important to anyone. What this means is simply that New Super Mario Bros 2 is at least as good as the original and a great game overall.
