Damn this game is ****ing me off. So good single player, so bad mulitplayer. To think the more players you have the harder it is! It's almost impossible to to some of the obstacles in later levels with 3 or 4 players unless you start picking each other up, thereby completely forfitting the need to even be playing multiplayer.

Played a fair bit of this with the GF over the weekend, okay it's cool an all but Nintendo really need some new ideas apart from just rehashing everything constantly.

The market was obviously screaming for a 2D Mario. It sold like crazy. Maybe Nintendo will make a new 2D Mario with more new stuff now.

Honestly I think most of the people playing new super mario bros wii wouldn't have even played the old ones. I think that any slightly good nintendo published game on the Wii does really well because it is so much easier for it to stand out against the huge pile of crap ones. This coupled with the biggest advertising campaign yet for a wii game that completely focused on making it look like it was "fun for the whole family". I think the market was just screaming out for a GOOD co-op game and the fact it had the Mario name made it sell even better. Sux for familys who brought it only to find it's a million times too hard for their kids.

Dont get me wrong I love the game, but it makes more sad than happy, because to me it symbolises nintendo becoming even more lazy and unninovative.

So why did it massively outsell both Galaxy and Twilight Princess?

Or they are realizing what the market wants.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Normally, I admit when a title is clickbait (unfortunately, it's become somewhat necessary in AI-dominated news sections today), but in this case, all supported versions is implied and doesn't need to be spelled out in the title. Of course, I'm covering a Patch Tuesday update but that is only available to supported Windows SKUs. All our coverage relates to supported Windows software and SKUs only unless we expressly state that it's "unsupported", "unofficial", or "third-party". I'm sorry, but supported/official SKUs don't need to be spelled out as such in every Neowin headline.

      ALL versions or ALL SUPPORTED versions? Neowin does it again.

    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      But the reality is it will work for people's needs, and they don't care about the technology that makes it. Clearly not everyone's needs, but that low end space where personal laptops were only used to type emails, watch content and browse websites, but they didn't want to do that on a small screen device. Heck, writing that out I can now see the connection and reason it'll do so well. Apple is about experience. If the experience is bad, they don't release it. Low end Windows laptop manufacturers up until this point have not taken that into consideration ever before, so slow laggy usage with brittle slimey plastic shells were common. I hope that the low end space at least creates better physical products that last a bit longer, and if Microsoft get their act together, they could also have a solid OS on such low end hardware that would actually make the experience work for what the hardware was intended for. The fact that the CPU is a "cellphone", sorry mobile phone processor is irrelevant. It's about the experience, and so far, that sounds quite solid.

      Hello, Bonjour is Apple's implementation of a multicast-DNS service, which allows devices running Apple's software and/or hardware to find each other on your local network.  I believe the Windows version was last updated around 2010. If you do not need it, you can stop and disable the Bonjour service in the Services Control Manager (filename: SERVICES.MSC).  Once you have done that, the operating system will no longer attempt to load the service. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
