Review	New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
Staff review by Branden Barrett (June 29, 2006) There is one particular thought that you should dismiss from your mind before reading a review or perhaps even going out to purchase this game. And that is, do not expect this to be along the same monumental line as Super Mario 64, Super Mario World, or even the first game Mario appeared on for that matter. Think of Mario’s latest venture as more of an anthology of sorts; an assemblage of positive features from his best games, spanning over the last twenty years.

Review	New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
Staff review by Jason Venter (May 20, 2006) I knew better than to hope for a DS game that could capture all of that for me again. Nostalgia sets unrealistic expectations.

Review	New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
Reader review by ghostyghost (August 04, 2006) Everyone’s favorite hero, Mario, returns to his plumbing roots in New Super Mario Bros, essentially a more detailed look at the 1985 classic, Super Mario Bros. Despite being showcased in Super Mario Strikers and Mario Baseball, NSMB shows that Mario still can be the perfect piece in an excellent side scrolling adventure, and it brings a simple control scheme that allows for crazy level design. The plot and some of the environments from Super Mario Bros are re-used, but the game is significantly ...

Review	New Super Mario Bros. (DS)
Reader review by Halon (January 04, 2010) With most modern games choosing to focus on today’s big trends, the occasional nostalgic title is (ironically) a breath of fresh air. It feels refreshing to have something that is not concerned with wowing you with cinematic presentation, providing a deep, complex story, and whatever other ideas and gimmicks the big games of today might contain.
