I don’t think I have to tell anyone the importance of a certain stout
plumber to the video game world. Our Mickey Mouse, Mario (and sometimes his brother Luigi) have served as gateway drug that has hooked millions of gamers. Now, almost 30 years and 200 game appearances later (no really, look it up), Mario returns to his classic 2D roots, but is there still a place for him in an industry filled with ballooning budgets, death matches and online play?
The answer of course is an unquestionable yes. New Super Mario Brothers Wii is an incredibly fun experience that offers something for everyone. Casual gamers will love the ease of access it offers, while hardcore gamers will geek out over the countless throwbacks to past games. Sure, it doesn’t do much to revolutionize the classic Mario gameplay, but the additions that are here are welcome and make the game even more charming.
