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.

      I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.

      CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
