New Super Mario Bros. ds

Pros: Additional Characters, New Stars To Collect

Cons: Touch Screen Controls, D-Pad Controls, Easier With Luigi's Jumping

The Bottom Line: Hardly Reason to Purchase the DS, But If You Already Own The System Than What Are You Waiting For?

Review: The Nintendo 64 is viewed by many to have been a failure. Many hardcore gamers wouldn't even touch the machine, but these are the very people who missed out on the Nintendo "magic" when it was in it's prime. The basic selling point of the Nintendo ...

Pros: Graphics, Level Design, World Themes, Classic Mario Action

Cons: Music, Lack of Interesting Power-Ups, Doesn't Feel Like a New Mario Title

The Bottom Line: Although it Suffers a Few Drawbacks, New Super Mario Bros. Is Still Worth the Price of Admission, Easily.

Review: One of the first games shown for the Nintendo DS handheld was a new Super Mario Bros. title. Unlike the more recent handheld editions, this was a completely new game, and it looked to return the series to it's roots, but with a completely polygonal art ...

Pros: It's Mario in 2D, and it rocks

Cons: Having to wait 15 years for a great Mario game in 2D

The Bottom Line: Itsa me, 5 star score!

Review: Want to make a gamer feel old? Tell them it's been 15 years since Super Mario World redefined the 2D platform game and gave the SNES a classic title on day one. It's hard to imagine that since that day, there's been plenty of games starring Mario ...

Pros: tried and true gameplay, neat minigames, great graphics and sound

Cons: could have been even better, content seems a little too recycled

The Bottom Line: It's one of the deepest Nintendo DS games, and about what you'd expect from a Mario platformer.

Review: Like most people my age, I grew up on Super Mario Brothers. It’s a series that has undergone a huge transformation the last dozen years. My daughter is a big gamer, but she is not that big into the older consoles which made these games so famous. I often ...

Pros: Same old Mario taste, new flavor.

Cons: Shortness of single-player game and extras lacking originality (the stylus mini-games are rehashed).

The Bottom Line: The next and newest Mario platformer is here for the DS. It's fun, it's innovative, and it's a must-buy.

Review: 1981: Jumpman battles the girlfriend-nabbing, barrel-flinging ape, Donkey Kong. Jumpman dies. 1985: Jumpman is reincarnated into Mario. Mario isn't an only child any longer. Mario gains a firmly established reptilian arch-nemesis. Princess Toadstool is ...

Pros: The new power ups add more depth to a classic game.

Cons: Not too different from past editions.

The Bottom Line: Its great to see Mario in 2D again especially in a game this good.

Review: When I got my cool little Nintendo DS here one of the game's I was most looking forward to was this strange but very interesting game simply called New Super Mario Brothers. Although most of the newer Super Mario's have been 3D, this New SMB game ...

Pros: Fun game, classic Mario look and sound, Modern Mario game play

Cons: A little short

The Bottom Line: Another classic Mario title that provides fun game play for Mario fans and non-fans alike.

Review: I was fortunate enough to have been born in 1985; the year that Super Mario Brothers was released, along with the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Mario games were always my favorite from as far back as I can remember, especially the old school ...

Pros: ahh classic Mario action for the first time in 15 years

Cons: It's over all ready, I hope I don't have to wait another 15 years.

The Bottom Line: Now if Nintendo will let me have my other old school fantasy, let me kil that dog off of duck hunt.

Review: Super Mario Bros was the game that got me officially hooked on to gaming. It was light years beyond anything I had seen on the Atari. The screen could move and the worlds at that time where huge. I wasn’t the only one impressed after all Super Mario ...

Pros: Clean, crisp and colourful graphics. Longevity, multiplayer.

Cons: None spring to mind.

The Bottom Line: Every owner of a DS should own this!

Review: Super Mario 64DS is a conversion of an old N64 classic. As a cutesy platform game it is an ideal conversion for the DS. With its simple controls, dual screen and wireless multiplayer possibilities the DS is ideally suited to this style of game and ...

Pros: 30 more stars than original! sharp graphics, interesting mini games

Cons: Sometimes repetitive gameplay, sloppy controls

The Bottom Line: With 30 more stars than the the original and amazing mini-games, this is a must have!

Review: Back in the days when Nintendo 64 was a new hit a game was released as the launch title for the system. This game was Super Mario 64, the first title where you could walk around in this 360 degree camera angle which opened up a whole new world to gamers, ...
