So, I picked up the new installment in the venerable Nintendo series for the DS today. After the major 3D treatment that Mario and Luigi have been getting over the years, it’s great to get back to the basics again. All the memories are being refreshed. Just need a glass of purple Kool-Aid and I’d really feel like I was 12 again.
I was thinking I’d post some screenshots, but they don’t do it any justice. In the end, suffice to say, it took pretty much all of the great elements of the three original games and rolled them into one with a nice dusting of new toys to play with on top. Even the minigames mode is a blast.
Since I’ve only had a chance to run through it for a couple of hours, I can’t write much of a review, yet. I’ll post one later when I’ve had more game-time to really get into the whole thing. I do know, though, that I’m going to be hearing the game music in my head for days, and that’s not a bad thing at all.

All I have to say is the game is fairly weak. Entertaining to play, but far too easy.

I’ll agree, it is easy. I am personally into entertainment, not frustration. If it was too hard, it would lose the fun-ness.

And I guess that’s what Nintendo is going with these days. Man, they are reallying coming around as a rock solid company… espically since Sony is releasing the betamax2k6 errr… PS3

Seems like the DS, especially with the recent “Lite” edition, is going to kick som serious ass in the marketplace.
