NSMB was so disappointing. ~*ST*~ --- Winner of the Spring 2004 "Best. Game. Ever." Contest Now Playing: Resident Evil 4, KH:COM (Sora), Larussa 92 (NYY) |

NSMB was so disappointing. Finally, someone who agrees with me. The problem I had with NSMB is it lacked the creativity and originality that make Mario games fun. I honestly HATED the save system as well: portable games are made to be turned off-and-on and I don't like putting the game into "sleep" mode. I tend to swap portable games back and forth every 10 minutes or so (I'm sure many others do) and this simply did not work for me. It's a good game, just not the "EPIC COMEBACK" everyone was expected. As far as I'm concerned: Paper Mario 2 was that comeback (it had creativity and originality) and not enough people played it. --- Today's subliminal thought is: |

I just beat NSMB yesterday. Too easy to take out bosses if you want. Just save up a Giant Mushroom, and use it... But I dont feel the same satisfaction or rush as when I beat SMB 3 or something... --- I don't have an ego. I'm way too cool for that. |

I'm currently playing it. It's good, but doesn't hold a candle to previous 2D Mario platformers. --- Organization XIII - Number III - Xordac Currently Playing - Suikoden V, Street Fighter Alpha 3, New Super Mario Bros. |

The game I was most excited for turned out one of the worst game from my initial batch of DS games when I got my DS Lite. It did have stiff competition though. CV:DOS, Trauma Center, Brain Age and AV:DS gave it a tough battle. |

I haven't played much of NSMB (only the first world), but I wasn't overly impressed. Just something...lacking. I'll tell you what it's lacking. It's lacking creative level design, awesome items, 2D graphics, and the old-school, tried and true Mario soul. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

Sonic Rush was cool, but some of the levels were frustrating. I have

one day, you'll learn how to use the word "you're" like everyone else did in fourth grade. NSMB is fun. I liked it. the powerups sucked hard, but I liked the level design and the bosses. call me weird or something. --- NOMINATE JAY SOLANO (Operation Shadow) for 2k6! http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=8&topic=29527124 |

Still, where's all the love for Sonic Rush? I thought that was the best Sonic game in YEARS, and yet I never hear anyone talk about it. It was very, very good, but too easy, even in comparison to other Sonic games. Wanna know why you all felt like NSMB was a dissapointment? Because it didn't have your precious flying powerup. Not exactly. It's more like the exclusion of the flying power-up closed many possibilities as far as creative level design is concerned. Couple that with the fact the NEW items were underutilized to a disgusting degree and the world map, instead of feeling wholistic as in SMW, felt bland and disjointed, and you suddenly have the makings of a very meh game. --- "An intellectual is a man who takes more words than necessary to tell more than he knows." |

I enjoyed NSMB. It's definitely no SMB3 or SMW, but it's decent enough. At least the Mini Mushroom's fun to play with. They could've done much more with the Blue Shell, though. --- Nominate Nidoran F. |

would have had a map, That say, Wasn't as creative as that one, It

game? Weird, I'm pretty sure that doesn't affect the gameplay at all. Aesthetics. It does add something to the game. It doesn't really affect the gameplay itself, but it does affect how much you like the game. I've barely played it, but I already could see where people were coming from. Something just doesn't measure up. From what I've played so far, it goes behind SMB3, SMW, and SMW2 as far as the 2D platformers go. --- Nominate Carmen Sandiego for SC2k6 Currently playing: Fable, MGS3:S, GTA:SA, MMAC |

I believe the major flaw with NSMB is its items system. Giant Mario
should have never been in the game. All it does is it gives you a bunch
of lives, or allows you to easily defeat a boss. Mini-Mario is pretty much only good for to get to an alternate exit. He makes playing the game harder, since you are vulnerable and it makes things tougher to kill. Blue Shell Mario is pretty much worthless, other than for alternate exits. It makes the game easier just to be Fire Mario in the levels, and grab a Giant Mushroom before the final castle. It lacks the diversity of SMB3 or SMW... But that might just be me... --- I don't have an ego. I'm way too cool for that. |
