IGN reviews New Super Mario Bros., 9.5/10

I seriously doubt it'd be sold out.

Animal Crossing DS was when I tried to get it.

Wow. I'm impressed.
Must find funds to buy DS!
And as well, I just saw the playthru video for a castle video...Bowser's lava swim turning him into bones...that's COOL.

I want this game so bad, it's the reason I bought a DS.

I like how it wants to come out right after my birthday.

Maybe not if you live near a Best Buy 5000 Super center.

Without putting a preorder down, it's very hard to find new (DS) games at retailers.

Dude! O_O

*9.4

The port got a much lower score, as well as the SA1 port.

Haha yeah. I went and looked up Halo and Halo 2's scores after that, but didn't say anything.

Video game scores should be dynamic!

"Dude IGN gave it a 9.5 so it must be good."

"Hold up a sec!"

*NSMB is down by 1.3 today, with Superman 64 continuing on it's 0.5 downward trend. Time Warner is up by 0.4...*

DUDEEE

Investing in video games!

Three reasons.

1. The Sonic Adventure games were mindblowing for their time, but at the time of their ports they had been surpassed.

2. The critic chosen to review for Dreamcast was a Sega based critic, who was a Sonic fan, the critic now chosen to review Sonic titles is a Nintendo based critic who I believe has a slight bit of bias left in his blood against Nintendo's former 'nemesis'.

3. They showed off the Dreamcast's hardware big time, but the GC was capable of far more.

Frankly I think that Shadow the Hedgehog would have gotten at least a 7 if it was the old Sega critic reviewing it.

Although I know this Mario will be fantastic, even if it had quite a lot of flaws, I'd still expect this kind of rating, because it's Mario. Just how even if Twilight Princess has some terrible crippling flaws, I still know it'll get at least 9.6.

Mario's not invincible to poor reviews. The party and sports games typically don't go over too well with critics. But I can't really think of a platformer that has recieved an average score or less, which is what you're REALLY talking about, right?

Yep, you got me. I'm referring to the platformers.

In my opinion Mario Sunshine definitely wasn't deserving of the huge grades it got.

Nor do I; it was unimaginative compared to previous Mario titles, and seemed more like third-party platforming fare rather than a first-party Nintendo title. Still fun though.

That's the spirit. Now if only people could say that about some Sonic games.

Ugh, the worst dissapointment was the lack of originality. Mystery Mario was in ingenious idea. Why ruin it by some ***ing annoying talking enemy that never dies?

(I was expecting to see something along the lines of mario catching that mystery mario red handed alongside with a helpless princess in the middle of the game, where the culprit would be exploding into 7 blotches that emerge into the koopa kids! They would tell them what's up with their new plot and how each koopa kid has their own special paintbrush with their own individual powers. In the end, they would melt away with peach and dissapear along the water.)

Bowser sounded like, TERRIBLE too. Good lord they never made him talk again.

Nintendo put alot of piantas in like, the oddest places. I mean, ENEMIES WERE EVERYWHERE and for osme reason the piantas didn't even notice them. Why in the peach would I see them living in a secret area where if you'd slip off by accident, you fall forever. It's like living in a hell hole with wierd blue things that don't seem to interact with their harshly surreal environment.

LMAO oh GOD I remember that! The second Bowser opened his mouth I was like WTF!

I was expecting some demonic layered voice, like the evil laugh in SM64, and some voice which sounded like a skinny albino trying to put on a monster voice came out. Awesomely hilarious, XD
