New Super Mario Bros. U is Underrated

New Super Mario Bros. U – World 1

After despising New Mario Wii, I was pleasantly surprised with the Wii U entry. The controls are much tighter and there’s enough new and old to please this old Mario fan. The reliance on nostalgia feels a little empty at times, but the platforming and presentation are strong enough to warrant a play from any fan of the genre.

Mathew is a huge fan of Space, Strategy, and Shadowrun (Genesis version is #1). When it comes to games and films, he’d much rather experience a 10/10 classic from yesteryear than a 6/10 modern blandfest. He does feel we’re living in a gaming golden age with the power of indie developers at an all-time high, but wishes AAA publishers would take more risks. Mat believes it’s only a matter of time before the pendulum swings the other way and new ideas take their rightful place above reboots.
