Just finished My first Wii U game, New Super Mario Bros. U, so I figured I'd talk about that.
I must say, whoever owned my Wii U beforehand, I thank you for sending this along with it. Now, what shall I talk about first..? I think I'll start with the music. The music is not the best I've heard, *coughOkamiandEtrianOdysseyUntoldcough* but it is still quite well-done. I also like the little touches to do with the music, such as fat baby Yoshi singing when you pick him/her up or how the enemies dance to certian notes. Now, on to gameplay. This is actually the second Mario game I've ever played, with my first being the origonal on Virtual Console (which I never finished,) but I have playec through the Crash trilogy for the PS1, so I'm net entirely unfamiliar with the "One hit and you're dead" platformers... However, it was still pretty F***ING difficuilt (either that or I'm just not as good as when I was yong.) While there are easy levels throughout the game, there are an equel amount of F***ING EVIL levels. However, the difficuilty, while it is hard, is not the kind of hard that makes you quit, rather it's the kind that makes you want to try harder... Or something like that. Anyway, on to story... Actually, do I really need to explain the story of a Mario game to you? No? Alright then... That's all I really have to say actually, so I'll wrap this up here... Actually, there IS something I HAVE to talk about. No, not fat baby Yoshi, but the boss battles. They are pretty easy, because they decided to give them the same amount of health as you: three hits (I know I said it's a one-hit-death game, but each time you collect a Mushroom or a Suit power-up you health inceses, with the suit giving you a total of three hits.) Even the final boss gets this treatment, which is terrible coming from Bowser... That's all I have to say.
All-in-all, NSMBU is a good game, even if it can be pretty hard if you're not experienced with platformers or games where one hit kills you. The music is very good, not much room for improvement there. The story is the usual, but I'm OK with that because the gameplay is what makes or breaks a platformer and that gameplay, as I already stated, is pretty good. The boss fights are nothing special (except maybe the final boss,) but the rest makes up for that, making this my favourite Wii U game so far (though it's not like I have a choice) and one that I give a 8.5/10.
