Mario Bros. Wii wtf?
Oh yes, it does say Super Skills. So of course we weren’t even thinking we could emulate such glorious tactics. My husband and I are hard-core gamers. We’re fairly good at games, and we play together a lot. And we do know that for Mario games, you know you need the skills to time everything just right, or watch Mario and Luigi fall down into an abyss.
I thought we were prepared. The reviews said it was a good fun game for all the family (presumably because it’s a Mario title) so my husband felt it’d be a fun evening thing to do for us. How very wrong we were…
1) No classic controllers allowed – I prefer having those controllers as opposed to just the Wiimote. It’s prohibited.
2) Jumping off each other’s part of the game – fine, but don’t respawn us one on top of the other so there’s suddenly an unintended jump into the jaws of death.
3) Continues are infinite – so why bother giving us lives at all?
4) Why are the levels so damn hard?
Granted, we’re not used to timing our jumps to perfection, but this is ridiculous! Even Super Mario Sunshine was better than this (and that’s saying something)!
Now is this just us or has anyone else feel incredibly frustrated with this game? Just to work off this annoyance before bedtime (after all, I don’t want dreams that involve jumping onto blocks and avoiding spikes), I’m prepared to go kick some unfortunate people’s bums in PvP.
