I found it slightly easier than Wii. Actually, a lot easier. Maybe it's my enhanced skills since November, 2009, or, it's the fact that the formula is so predictable after all these years it has become natural.

Either way, one of the "hardest" levels in the game was really easy (yet undeniably intense), for me as I completed it in one try with all three star coins.

My G-d, I used the Search Bar and actually found what I was looking for! Albeit I had to go through 10 pages, and the Acronym in the title didn't help one bit.

Alright, I finally played the demo at Gamestop. I'm late to the party, I know, but...I was actually surprisingly pleased with the game. I knew the game was more impressive than the last couple of Mario games, but I had a blast for the two levels I played. So much so that I might actually make this game a high priority to pick up once I get a Wii U. Considering my horrible track record with every 2D Mario game after the original, I really didn't see that coming at all.

I finally got the last star coin in the last level today. Some of those star levels, especially that ice and the pendulum one, took a lot of attempts. The water star level I completed the first time with all three coins though - holding a baby Yoshi makes swimming easier.

Whaaaa? How does a baby yoshi make it easier? I gotta go try this

He eats things

I got this game a week and a half ago. I've been on Petit Computer and AC:CF a lot, so I'm only on world 6. I have every star coin in worlds 1-5. This is the best New Super Mario Bros. game.

You know, to be honest, I'm more excited for the Luigi DLC than I was for U initially.

I can't help but to admit it looks impressive. (I wish you could pre order games on the eShop, though.)

I finally started playing New Super Mario Bros. U. I had low expectations when I bought this, and that might be why I'm so pleasantly surprised on how fun it is. Maybe it's due to the fact that the game doesn't feel as recycled the other NSMB games (NSMB2 was so blatantly unoriginal) or the tight level design, but this is probably the most fun I've had out of a NSMB game or 2D Mario platformer for that matter (except for SMB3). So now I don't regret buying a Wii U. I'm in Frosted Glacier at this moment.

Is that sarcasm? Because there is absolutely no reason to preorder a game there is technically "unlimited" digital copies of.
@Knux Glad you like it! I was a bit skeptical at first as well, but it certainly grows on you. :3

No, I mean so you can play the game as soon as it releases. Think Steam.

Playstation also does digital pre-orders, but not as well as Steam, which will automatically download the game for you went its released.

whens the luigi dlc released and how much will it be?

Nintendo only knows.

The final boss made this even more fun than 3 for me.

I'm actually more excited for the Luigi DLC than I was for the game. I think that this is due to the extreme difficulty that the DLC showed. It looks pretty epic.

What extreme difficulty? Tell me you're exaggerating.

@Knux, glad you're enjoying it.

After the mediocre NSMB2 I definitely didn't have high hopes for this game before I got it, but thankfully it's pretty wonderful c:

Let me rephrase that. What people have been saying is extreme difficulty. Other people have been raving out how hard it looks. I think it looks easy, but it still looks harder than the normal game.

By the way, I just got all 5 stars.

Oh. Carry on. ._.
_{haven't been on steam in months...}

Okay. I'll just hope they're wrong. The last thing a Mario game needs is to become more frustrating.

You serious bro? I've always thought that they were too easy, but I guess that's just me..
