New Super Mario Bros Wii

Everyone’s favourite plumber (and his brother) make another journey to the Wii…
The success of New Super Mario Bros on DS proved that, as much as gamers cry out for new experiences and better advances in their titles, millions are still happy to revisit their roots and enjoy a slightly more nostalgic offering.
With that in mind, the stage is set for the sequel to improve on its predecessor’s performance. New Super Mario Bros Wii brings 2D platforming back to Nintendo’s home consoles, with the portly plumber and his ilk off on a brand new block-jumping, Goomba-stomping adventure.
Princess Peach has (surprise, surprise) been kidnapped again by the incorrigible Bowser and Mario is once again tasked with bringing her back. But this time, he isn’t alone. Luigi and two anonymous Toads are along for the ride, making a roster of four playable characters that lends itself perfectly to the new multiplayer mode.
