This game is really good I usually rate by 1-10 and here's my review Graphics-really great art imo, because the coloration is way better than previous Mario titles the rainbows, the squirrel suit, the baby yoshi the whole world in general looks amazing in HD Gameplay- I like how this game plays but it's not as challenging as previous New super Mario bros titles so it's nothing to different just easier I do like the level designs as well as how they look it makes the gameplay more fun to me. Music- I agree with gameXplains review the music is recycled and Nintendo should have added a more diverse music selection rather than Wii or Ds sounding music. All in out this game added Baby yoshi, great powerups, fun gameplay, challenges, and customization of mii I rate this game 9.5/10
Here’s another page New Super Mario Bros U takes out of Super Mario World’s book. The areas on the world map (or the worlds I guess you could say) now have names instead of being numbered. And while the levels still use numbers and symbols, at least they have actual names too.
I think this newest instalment of the 2d Super Mario Bros franchise is top notch in game play and variety of levels. The game follows that distinct trade mark that makes the series popular back in 1986. People has forgoten what good old fashion 2d challenge is like and Super Mario Bros. U provides the right kind of experience to remind of all.
The lack of originality and sense of exploration made this one feel underdeveloped when compared to the likes of Super Mario World, this game's biggest influence. That's why I love Newer Super Mario Bros. Wii, and have it not only as an official title, but the best of the series.
This is the best NSMB game in the series but it's just a mainstream mario game. Just as Andre said, mario games usually define what a nintendo console can do and all this title did was just show how a 2.5D mario game looks like in HD. NSMB games don't have that 'WOW' factor like how Super Mario 1-3, Mario Land, Mario World, Mario 64, Sunshine, Galaxy and I'll even put 3DS land made me feel. Btw, I always hated the 4-player coop. It makes it more annoying than it is fun. I worked better in 3D World IMO.
Ordered this one for when I get my Wii U in 2 weeks. Never finished a Mario game before but 5 minutes Mario can turn a sad day into a good day because of his hapiness and the sounds. Played the first level on my 3DS allready over 50 times and never get bored of it.
I miss the versus mode they had in New Super Mario Bros for the DS where it was a looping level that Mario and Luigi were given the choice to fight to the death or collect the most star coins in that level, its a small complaint but I feel they could have made an auto scrolling VS that puts all 4 players in an endless level until 1 of them is left standing or has collected enough star coins to win
I'm still waiting for New Super Mario Bros. 3 for the New 3DS, New Super Mario Bros. 4 for the New 3DS, New Super Mario Bros. NX, and. New Super Mario Bros. Z.
"Does it live up to Mario's ground-breaking launch-game pedigree, or is it just another title in the New Super Mario Bros. series?" ~Andre ...All things considered, even from hands-on experience... my money's on the latter.
Definitely the best of the NSMB series, and hopefully the last one, lol. I don't think I could play a fifth one of these, unless they really push themselves to make it special. They were good, don't get me wrong, but compared to DKCR, or Rayman Origins/Legends, these games really did fall short for me.
There's still New Super Luigi U, too. It's an expansion for NSMBU. World map, enemies, music... everything's the same except for level layout... and you play as Luigi. Whee. Exciting.
You should try "Newer Super Mario Bros Wii" a rom hack of the game but MUCH better. The levels are much more original, the worlds feel completely different from the typical new bros levels and there are new special mechanics (you can go to space where there is less gravity). For me it felt much better than any on the new bros games. Here it is: www.newerteam.com/
I've watched 4 reviews of this game and this is by far the best. Thank you for acknowledging that aesthetics and style are what makes a game look good, not just definition
People would be bashing this game a lot less if NSMBWii and NSMB2 didn't exist. This should have been the "real" NSMB2 imo. It deserves that title more than NSMBWii and NSMB2. (They're both more like NSMB1.5s)
S/he's right, this was exactly what I wanted - detailed and knowledgable rather than somebody who's stoked about it and is inclined to gloss over any negatives (or somebody who's disappointed and won't acknowledge the positives).
Hey Gamexplain besides Bowser, the koopalings, and Boom Boom, are there any other bosses in the game because in SMW you fought against a Giant Boo in a ghost house?
I don't see what his problem is with the art style. Mario has had this art style for most of his modern games for a while now. Does he want realistic Mario like Brawl did? I don't get it.
yeah i agree on the art style it is old and i'd like some moving images like the dancing plants or anything like that and a more subtle colouring style background.
Hey Andre, i wanna konw is u can take the baby yoshi's and the adult green yoshi on to the next level if u bring them to the end of the level [the flag pole]?
I agree I'd like to know how the online multiplayer works with this.. because for one its listed on the package as having it being connect with Miiverse so is it just the high scores/being able to leave comments or is it something more?
Now its made but il very shockes because its the same game With Toadette and rip blue toad Why nintendo cant create a different game NS us gonna be NWII U 2.0
Hey Andre, I know this is the completely wrong game but do you need to use the R button at all in the new Paper Mario game on 3DS? Mine is completely broken and I'm surviving with a few games (Kid Icarus, MK7, Pushmo, Fractured Soul)
Mario was created by Nintendo, a Japanese company. In Japan, Mario is written マリオ (romanized as Mario) and is pronounced like Mah-ri-oh. Americans pronounce it in a similar fashion, with the only difference being the hard "r" sound we use in English. In other words, he's pronouncing it fine.
super Mario 64 ds was a launch game for the Nintendo 64. the ds version was a hand-held version (a copy if you will) of the game. and the GameCube came out in 2001, sunshine was released in 2002
Hey GameXplain can u tell us more about Ninja gaiden 3 on WiiU and if it has offtv play cuz i heard on NeoGaf that it does indeed support it i just want the official confirmation from you since you have the game. And if you can can you show footage of the game and it goin on to the gamepad?
+Foxy The Pirate Fox whats wrong with it? It has aged amazingly! the controls, the graphics, the level design all hold up strongly today. The gameplay is my favorite in any 2d mario game. Its so smooth and responsive. I'd like the nsmb games a lot more if they stopped reusing so many assets between the games. The music and the graphics are starting to get... boring. Mario 1-(4)world changed the gameplay and the graphics each time and they each did it smoothly.
He's talking about a launch title, and a launch title is a game that came out on the same day the console did. The last Mario launch title was Mario 64, and no Luigi's Mansion doesn't count, because that's a Luigi game.
Isn't peach being held hostage, or is there something about the story we don't know about? But by the looks of it, she was never kidnapped, ya its not the that different, but change has to start somewhere right?
I've heard that this one is more challenging than previous titles in the NSMB series. Would you say that's accurate? I hope so, because while I like the NSMB games, they're just too damn easy.
I would have been a nice homage if they added an arcade Mario Bros. style competitive game as an extra. Overall, this looks pretty good. I'm bummed about the recycled music, but hopefully those small details are good enough to keep me playing longer than I did with New Super Mario Bros. 2..
"Lifelessness has never looked better than in New Super Mario Bros U."
Dude, you totally sound like one of the goth kids from South Park..
Holy shit
Gamexplain > ign
Almost all the professional reviewers don't compare to all the small ones like gamexplain, somecallmejohnny, angry joe, bit block, projared, etc.
+Shehzad Yousaf 7.8/10 to much letters
Shehzad Yousaf I feel like angry joe can be biased as well

This was a good review. I like NSMBU, even if it is not 100% original.
How do you feel about deluxe
@@thenintendoandmicrosoftboy7349 Nice remake. I dig choosing any character in single player.
TheMack625 wow I didn’t think you would respond as the comment was made 5 years ago
TheMack625 time really flies

Don't feel bad. In my experience, NSMB is just a lazy series overall... and Nintendo seems to obsess over it.

The co-op is the best part of the game.
In my opinion, the level design in New Super Mario Bros U only falls short of the more creative levels in the Super Mario Maker games.
Ordered this one for when I get my Wii U in 2 weeks. Never finished a Mario game before but 5 minutes Mario can turn a sad day into a good day because of his hapiness and the sounds.
Played the first level on my 3DS allready over 50 times and never get bored of it.

I'm still waiting for New Super Mario Bros. 3 for the New 3DS, New Super Mario Bros. 4 for the New 3DS, New Super Mario Bros. NX, and. New Super Mario Bros. Z.
I'm wondering this as well!
How has nobody seen this in 8 years
Very impressed and happy with your two Wii U reviews. Only 2 days!
Both mario games on the U were so good. NSMB and 3D World.
"Does it live up to Mario's ground-breaking launch-game pedigree, or is it just another title in the New Super Mario Bros. series?" ~Andre
...All things considered, even from hands-on experience... my money's on the latter.
I’ve never played this game because I didn’t have a Wii U. Should I pick the game up on Switch
yeah, its fun
Definitely the best of the NSMB series, and hopefully the last one, lol. I don't think I could play a fifth one of these, unless they really push themselves to make it special. They were good, don't get me wrong, but compared to DKCR, or Rayman Origins/Legends, these games really did fall short for me.

why is this guy complaining if that's all what a super mario game is.
I've watched 4 reviews of this game and this is by far the best.
Thank you for acknowledging that aesthetics and style are what makes a game look good, not just definition
I'm sooo getting this game for Christmas. Nice review, GameXplain!
Supposedly this is coming to the switch with the Luigi DLC... I’ll gladly buy!
We really were in the trenches back then
Dude, you are easily the best reviewer on youtube.
"Lifelessness has never looked better than in New Super Mario Brothers U" I find this line so awesome I shall frame and treasure it.
People would be bashing this game a lot less if NSMBWii and NSMB2 didn't exist.
This should have been the "real" NSMB2 imo. It deserves that title more than NSMBWii and NSMB2. (They're both more like NSMB1.5s)
NSMB2 exist it's in 3DS
It's the NSMB with too many coins
the plot isn't really cleche. Bowser doesn't have a castle, he steals peaches castle!
Dude he made this review in 2012. In 2012 it was 15 years ago. Now that it is 2013, it is now 16 years ago.
A very good video review GameXplain. I totally agree that the music is recycled, but everything else is what I expect from a Mario Bros game :)
"It took me like three hours to finish the shading on your upper lip. It's probably the best drawing I've ever done."
S/he's right, this was exactly what I wanted - detailed and knowledgable rather than somebody who's stoked about it and is inclined to gloss over any negatives (or somebody who's disappointed and won't acknowledge the positives).
and I think your lisp is adorable. Rock it man! Great review!
Gamexplain can you play 4 player like in nsmb wii but with 3 wii motes and a game pad?
Hey Gamexplain besides Bowser, the koopalings, and Boom Boom, are there any other bosses in the game because in SMW you fought against a Giant Boo in a ghost house?
GameXplain, your videos are amazing! Thanks again for another terrific review :D
I don't see what his problem is with the art style. Mario has had this art style for most of his modern games for a while now. Does he want realistic Mario like Brawl did? I don't get it.
This style is overused
Thanks Gamexplain that review was quite useful. I think I've changed my mind and will get this game in the near future :)
Do you need MotionPlus controllers to play multiplayer, or can you use ordinary Wiimotes too?
Question, Mr. GamExplain. Are Luigi, Blue Toad, and Yellow Toad playable in single player-mode, or are they multiplayer-exclusive?
All Wii-motes are compatible, but some Wii U games require Wii Motion plus, like Nintendoland, but you can use regular ones for games like NSMBU
Great review, you really get the points down and I doubt I'll forget that line anytime soon.
Why am I watching this in 2018 and have a switch?
Maybe to compare with New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe? :3
Might be a stupid question but for Boost Rush Mode, do you need another player on the gamepad in order to play it? Or can you play it singularly?
after you beat the game do you get any other characters. wario, waluigi, taodette?
yeah i agree on the art style it is old and i'd like some moving images like the dancing plants or anything like that and a more subtle colouring style background.
Yeah, I was hoping if you could tell me if you can use both HDMI and A/V cables at the same time, AV for sound?
Hey Andre, i wanna konw is u can take the baby yoshi's and the adult green yoshi on to the next level if u bring them to the end of the level [the flag pole]?
I agree I'd like to know how the online multiplayer works with this.. because for one its listed on the package as having it being connect with Miiverse so is it just the high scores/being able to leave comments or is it something more?
Dang I wish they'd bring a New super Mario bros to nintendo Switch!
Now its made but il very shockes because its the same game
With Toadette and rip blue toad
Why nintendo cant create a different game NS us gonna be NWII U 2.0
Great review, really gives a feeling of what to expect. Same to your Nintendo Land review.
can you play three players without the boost blocks or do you have to play with the boost blocks
GameXplain, in Single Player, can you use the Gamepad to control Mario on the TV, or does it use a Wii Mote instead?
Please answer me if you can :
- Is the Bowser final battle good ?
- Will you be able to upload it before the 18th ?
Hey Andre, I know this is the completely wrong game but do you need to use the R button at all in the new Paper Mario game on 3DS? Mine is completely broken and I'm surviving with a few games (Kid Icarus, MK7, Pushmo, Fractured Soul)
I don't care for the baby Yoshi powerups
Mario was created by Nintendo, a Japanese company. In Japan, Mario is written マリオ (romanized as Mario) and is pronounced like Mah-ri-oh. Americans pronounce it in a similar fashion, with the only difference being the hard "r" sound we use in English. In other words, he's pronouncing it fine.
i wonder does it work on wii?
so you can choose diferent paths to go to? like up or down on the situation before
super Mario 64 ds was a launch game for the Nintendo 64. the ds version was a hand-held version (a copy if you will) of the game. and the GameCube came out in 2001, sunshine was released in 2002
Great review André! You made me want this game. lol
Hey GameXplain can u tell us more about Ninja gaiden 3 on WiiU and if it has offtv play cuz i heard on NeoGaf that it does indeed support it i just want the official confirmation from you since you have the game. And if you can can you show footage of the game and it goin on to the gamepad?
is the final boss difficult and does it have original music ?
Does this game require motion plus for the Wiimotes?
Hey GameXplain/Andre, are you going to review Ninja Gaiden or Batman too?
hey Andre is the wii remote required to play this game?
or can anyone that didn't have a wii this generation play this game with the wii u controler?
He kinda did with his GamePad distance test.
Can you still play the game with the tablet without multiplayer or does it require multiplayer?
Oh one more question sorry, do you need a second player with the gamepad to play boost rush mode?
You only really use it to scroll pages in the sticker book, but you can use the touch screen or circle pad to do the same thing.
They actually had entirely new tracks for this game, including the main theme.
GameXplain, have you had the game slow down on occasion?
Hey GameXplain!
Is Wii U how you think it was, or is it better/baddest?
Thanks! :)
hey andre can you please tell me what wii u launch game reviews you'll be doing and when :) tnx in advance
what is the powerup toad has at 5:29
Great video! Today I went to Nintendo World in NYC and I played it. Wonderful game. I'm planning on buying a Wii U now. Peace :)
They need to make a mario game like mario world!!!!!!
I will never understand peoples obsession with that game...NoStaGIaFaGs
This is the closest you'll ever get to another Super Mario World
+Foxy The Pirate Fox whats wrong with it? It has aged amazingly! the controls, the graphics, the level design all hold up strongly today. The gameplay is my favorite in any 2d mario game.

I wonder if Nintendo is officially done with this series.
Dean Gamexplain,
Is that level where everything is giant, is that an entire world, or just a level?
lol ok. Would you say 1-ups are as easy to get in this game as previous games?
Was there alot of secret exits in the game?
Isn't peach being held hostage, or is there something about the story we don't know about? But by the looks of it, she was never kidnapped, ya its not the that different, but change has to start somewhere right?
I haven't played a New Super Mario Bros. game since the one on the DS, so I think I'll be checking this one out.
Thanks for the retro cam! I love super Mario world!
Andre how do you play these games do quickly?!
hey gamexplain, quick question. How many lives do you have at the moment?
Will you be able to play this game with only the Game Pad?
Funny looking back at this game. No innovation, no soul.
Can you explain what the stars on profile thing is? :S
I've heard that this one is more challenging than previous titles in the NSMB series. Would you say that's accurate? I hope so, because while I like the NSMB games, they're just too damn easy.
@GameXplain hey is the games difficulty balanced well is it too easy , too hard or average cuz recent nsmb games are too easy im curious
I would have been a nice homage if they added an arcade Mario Bros. style competitive game as an extra. Overall, this looks pretty good. I'm bummed about the recycled music, but hopefully those small details are good enough to keep me playing longer than I did with New Super Mario Bros. 2..
Hey gamexplain can you be luigi or the toads in single player?
Do you work for nintendo and how are you able to get a wii u before anyone else..just saying
2 things: You uploaded this on my birthday, and how many power ups are in the game?
"Lifeless has never looked better" - Andre of GameXplain 2012
GameXplain? When are you going to do a revieuw about Paper Mario Sticker Star?
i hope you can because i havent seen any gameplay of nsmbu where they throw the other
