With a lot of attention came a lot of sequels, and though they certainly sold well and were respected well in the past, they've fallen into sheer disregard and disgust in the present, because of one simple reason. It was true, this game did all it stated and more.
Sales were rising, the dash button was being pressed down into oblivion (unless you're Gamespot, amirite fellas?), and dancing koopas remained branded in the minds of fans for years to come. And out of the depths of brief development and the HQ of Nintendo themselves, arrived an instant success.ĩ's, 10's, and perfect scores were zapping about from every direction, labeling the game as "classic", "unforgettable", and "flawed" (hehe, I like forcing my opinions into writing). Mechanics from 3D Mario games were set to appear in our lasagna-stained protagonist's moveset, a fresh soundtrack was set to appear, and overall this was the "new" experience fans had been craving for so, so long. It was the perfect opportunity to prove to the public that Mario in the second dimension was still necessary and fun, and everything was in position to make that point known. This was Mario's first return to 2D platforming mayhem as a new title after Super Mario Land 2, which was released all the way back in 1992. NEW SUPER MARIO BROS: A healthy dose of "nothing special", beneath the stigma of a gaming revolution. And there's no better place to look for that, than the original New Super Mario Bros. No fellow users, this is because the game I am about to analyze today, is a fan-made modification of the original New Super Mario Bros, for Nintendo DS.īut before we get into the creme de la creme of what the game has to offer, you dopey buggers need a brief history lesson, on the do's and don'ts of 2D game design. This reason, ladies and gentlemen, isn't because Newer Super Mario Bros DS is an indication that you've been living under a rock and made completely unaware that a new 2D experience has wafted through the consumer interspace, unexpectedly, without you realizing. Not even close whatsoever, to that fickle seal of approval that the Fat Cats of Nintendo seem to print its new titles with, on an almost monthly basis. So I wanted to change that, and talk about a game I've been starstruck with for the past few weeks, and how it's affected my ranking of the best games in the franchise for me.Īnd what's unusual here, is that this game, with its glossy title sheen and bizarre choice of subtitle, is not even a game authorized by the Big N themselves.
I'm a massive Super Mario fan, yet in all my time writing about the games I've played, I've not yet reviewed any Mario game in the series. Of a game I don't expect a great deal of you to know about. Good day ladies and gentlemen of VGA! My name is Ramble Jackson, and welcome to another review!
