When the 1st Super Mario Bros. came out, I was addicted with the platformer game and could never place it down. Of course... that was 15 years ago [not the game, but when I first started playing it]. Now comes New Super Mario Bros. Wii for... the Wii. The question that concerns me is that does it have the old school feeling...?

Gameplay
New Super Mario Bros. Wii is definetly old school, along with a new style. It's still the same platform game to remember, but they change it up to where it's with modern times... If that makes any sense.

Graphics
What's there to say? It's been amped up by 10.... or maybe 50 times than the old. That is all.

Sound
The music is a little trippy, which is a good thing since it fits the game. The sounds of Mario and Luigi are great, but... the Toads... really? Maybe it's just me, but I REALLY hate the voice of a mushroom hat wearing boy. But that doesn't change the score really, I can deal with it... for now.

Replay Value
You can play it over and over again. Also, the game allows you to buy some videos using star points. What these videos do is just show you some "moves" to help or make you more skillful, like for example: There will be a way to get infinite 1up's in a level and buying these videos will actually show you how.

Fun Factor
The game is fun to play by itself, but with 3 other friends, it can either be madness in a box or Co-op fun to the end. The game also allows you to do free-for-all or coin battles with your friends as well. Truly, it's fun with battle friends with the old school Super Mario games.

Overall
The game is indeed back with an old school feeling + a twist of the modern style. It really is a fun game to play and if you have the Wii, then I recommend picking this up. Either you're new to this or an expert, you will have fun playing to this game to the end.
