Lovely review!
Nintendo has made magic once more. Forget the New Super Mario series. Those games feel old, stale and tired, and there are only four of them. Nintendo went back to the drawing board to create Super Mario 3D World.
Thanks to the long history of quality mechanics, the developer gleaned a lot of inspiration from what fans love so much about this franchise. The result is a game that has heart and is built entirely around fun and nostalgia.
While not too challenging, this Mario is perfect for playing in groups and revisiting a now old mascot of gamings past. If youre a long time fan of the franchise, you will grin from ear to ear at almost every turn and little jab here.
Personally speaking, there hasnt been a Mario game like this for me since Super Mario World. I love the Galaxy games, but the SNES entry always got my nod for the best of the best. Super Mario 3D World approaches that level. The lens of nostalgia might keep the older game in higher regards for me, but this Super Mario 3D World is simply fantastic.
Its one of my new favorites.
dammit where's the low outlier? i want to see meltdowns, people! this just isn't fair.
Could this be the best reviewed game of the year?
I know, autocorrect changed it on me, lmao.Gamestop?
One of them need to change their damn names.

Man nintendo is taking no prisoners this friday, two games both among the highest rated of the year. Their output this year was god tier, back against the wall with guns blazing.
This one is looking gold! Wish I had a Wii U..
I think GTA and TLOU got higher reviews.
Nintendo's getting greedy, they want Game of the Year twice in a row.Just imagine if DKC Tropical Freeze was released this year too
A different person did.
I will never ever ever doubt you again EAD.
Just wait until Metro get their review out!GTA yes, currently Mario is sitting on the same Metacritic as TLOU though that could change in either direction.

Guys, I was joking on the first part (even though I would be really surprised if I enjoyed this game as much as I enjoyed the Galaxy games, but who knows), my post was really about how incredible the reception for Galaxy games was, as Zalman pointed out. Even high-scoring games like GTA 5 and the such get some less positive reviews, Galaxy 2 just didn't, all media outlets went crazy for it.
Lovely review!
Holy shit. This reviewd even BETTER than I expected? Damn.I expect 9 and 10s.
Ugh. I get what he's trying to say but this argument constantly drives me mad. It's a good game on the Wii U. Therefore it's a good Wii U game. I didn't buy the console expecting every game to fully utilise every aspect of it.
It's like saying Galaxy wasn't a good Wii game because all you did was occasionally waggle.
GameSpot said:Super Mario 3D World is a game of exceptional craft, of painstaking focus on the minute details that are integral to making it feel special. The pace at which you're thrown from one ingenious concept to the next as perspectives, tempos, and mechanics change would choke a lesser game, but here it's done with a seamlessness that makes such rapid inventiveness look easy. This is a game where every level is a golden nugget of heavenly platforming joy, where ideas are rarely repeated--and if they are, they're given such a twist as to make them feel new again.
Kotaku says its not a good WiiU game. Whatever that means.
Spieler Eins wrote a 200 pages book on how this game would be a turd.
Lesson is, never underestimate EAD
