New Super Mario Bros

Like all these over priced cartridges my kids love them for a month or so and then grow tired of it. I did ask my kids what they thought of the game before writing this review (6 and 9). They simply gave me the standard answer, Its OK, its fun. However, I can tell my 9 year old daughter has outgrown the meager value and simplistic nature of the DS. Sorry for the poor product review, but the majority of these Mario games all look about the same considering the very grainy graphics, 2 square screen and 2D play. Its a good time waster for my kids while driving, but I have realized that the screen is so small that they are often straining from 12 inches away to see the characters. To be flat out honest, I dont know why anybody would pay $200 for a DS when you can by a 7 tablet for the same amount of money. I dont sell electronics for a living but the tablets have significantly more capability, power, appealing graphics and most important - Free software! I thought size was the primary issue for buying the DS, but all my sons friends have crash cases which make carrying their DS similar to carring around a brick. I didnt buy the DS for my kids, but I did buy the cartridge used on Amazon. It was packaged, looks and works like new for one-third the price. Apparently thousands of kids that are much older than my kids love the DS device and all the Mario games. I wish someone could explain to me why compared to other devices and products on the market that are much more capable and cheaper to play.

This game is thought to be ideal. It not only combines a classic favorite in video gaming but also the visual aestheticism of todays graphic quality. It was shipped along with a number of other things I had ordered (very quickly I might add) and I would definitely buy again from this seller.

No issues whatsoever

As a fan of Mario games, this game is definitely a must own. Ive heard people complain that it doesnt offer a whole lot of change or innovation compared to games like Super Mario Bros 3 on NES or Super Mario World on SNES, but honestly, thats kind of the point. This game, and indeed the series of games that it spawned (the New Super Mario Bros games) are very deliberately retro. They very deliberately use the same gameplay as the classics. That said, they still do offer some new power-ups that allow for new/different ways to do things. So no, its not the next generation of games, but it is another iteration of the classic formula that people still love, and apparently still want, considering how well this series seems to be selling. In addition to the main storyline game (if it can even be said to have much of a story), this also includes a load of mini-games and multiplayer games, some of which DONT require a second copy of the game to play (as long as the other party has a DS). All in all a great purchase for fans of the Mario series.

So, this is the first Mario game Ive played since Super Mario Bros. 3 for NES. Yes, yes, I know, Im old. Ive just recently (in the past year) gotten back into the video game scene and have to do some catching up. Needless to say, when I got my DS a couple weeks back, I had to get Mario. Ive been playing this for a couple days, have made it to the third world and have lost a lot of lives getting there. Its ok though. It is a very enjoyable game so Ill deal with taking 2 days to get through a world. Its as addictive as every other Mario game Ive played.

I ordered this game for my grandson to be played on his DSi game system. It was shipped and received in a timely manner and my grandson is very happy with it. The graphics are clear and the game is a fun one to play. I dont know much about playing these games but watching my grandson play this one has been fun. It has a lot of different, challenging levels of play. I would recommend this game for anyone interested in playing a Mario Bros. game, and I would also suggest they use Amazon.com as the place from which to order it.

The classic Super Mario saga fits right at home on the Nintendo DS gaming platform. All of Mario and his buddies are colorful, clear, and full of action. The DS loads the game fast, and it plays at all levels without lag or hic-ups. This is a perfect marriage of mobile gaming platform and one of the all-time classic games. Grab a copy and enjoy it!

Luv the game it never gets old for me. I use it on my 3 DS XL although the 3D doesnt applt on this game since its an older version.

Ive always been a fan of the original SMB for the NES & arcade. Who hasnt or isnt? The graphics are amazing, very colorful. The music is classic SMB done right. The play controls are tight and precise. There are numerous secrets to be found and the replayability is very high. There are some gamers who say the game is too easy. There are some areas that are, but the difficulty is just right in my opinion. The fun factor is out of this world, I wont reveal anything here, you have to play this game and experience it for yourself. Very highly recommended for SMB fanatics everywhere.

I have always played the puzzle type games (Tetris etc.) but decided to try this game with the new DS system. I became addicted....I love it. This is the first Mario game I have played so cant compare it to other Mario games but I have played such games as Shrek and Lord of the Rings and find the Mario game more fun and easier to play. I am older (57) so dont have the skills of some of the younger users but enjoyed sharing it with my nephew as we compared gameplay. He always beat me of course....:-)
