Thursday 18 May 2006 There are only a few franchises in the gaming industry that you can name drop and everyone, instantly, knows exactly what you mean. 'It's like Tetris', or 'it's a Doom clone', or, in many cases for handheld games, 'it's a pale shadow of Super Mario Bros'. These practically need no introduction, and New Super Mario Bros continues that proud tradition. Other than porting over some of the plumber's moves from Super Mario 64 (butt stomp, wall jump and triple jump), this plays ...

New Super Mario Bros. may not have the most creative name, but after just a few minutes with the classic platforming action made our eyes tear up with nostalgia. Before we head off to E3 for all of next week (where you'll see even more info on this title, plus a boatload of others), we're posting a quick runthrough of Mario's new adventure. Just click on the videos tab up above for a look at the first world, including Bowser's untimely, gruesome demise. May 5, ...   » Read Full New Super Mario Bros preview

An entire generation of kiddies has grown up, graduated high school and moved on to careers since Mario and Luigi last graced the world with their platforming presence. The Super NES' pack-in game, Super Mario World, dropped in 1991 and remains the "newest" original title of the Bros. resume ... until May 15 that is. Nintendo's slipped out some shiny new screens of New Super Mario Bros. that show off some of the single-player areas Mario will tread through. They all look familiar in frozen, ...   » Read Full New Super Mario Bros preview

Has it really almost been 15 years since the last old-school Mario platformer? That would imply that an entire generation has yet to experience a brand new, wide open, side-scrolling wonder such as Nintendo perfected back in the '80s living room. Thankfully, we're about to get an updated taste of these simple pleasures with an all-new, classically themed, side-scrolling platformer set to ratchet back the innovation to NES days, while amping up the fun. Forget the fully 3D Mario adventures of ...   » Read Full New Super Mario Bros preview

Mario... smash! The Godzilla-style rampage is... um, well, it seems like a bit of a gimmick, actually. After bouncing through a couple of level's-worth of traditional Mario fun, you finally find a mushroom that takes several head-butts to dislodge, growing each time. Scoff it and Mario gets super-sized, ready for a block-walloping rampage that only lasts about 20 seconds. Fun, but ultimately just a bit distracting. The real fun's in the more conventional Mario action. Though it's similar to ...   » Read Full New Super Mario Bros preview
