(It's the same theme as in the previous game, with dancing Goombas and everything.) I finally just gave up and decided to play a bit of the DS game last night. It's fun, but it feels even more derivative and uninspired after having seen its incredible sequel, which was definitely the surprise of the show for me -- not so much that it exists, but that it's so absolutely fantastic.

Wii was particularly surprising, since I -- along with most of the free world -- was expecting New Super Mario Bros. 2 on DS. Instead, we get a four-player console game. I’m excited about yet another high-profile 2D (ish) side scrolling console release and at having another multiplayer platformer besides LittleBigPlanet to play with friends (and, let’s be honest, we'll have more fun with Mario's more elegant physics). Heck, even the Vs. Mode in the first NSMB was pretty good, if a bit limited, so to see an expansion of that concept would be great. The game even has 80 or so levels, so it looks to be quite a full package. Of course, the real reason I’m excited is the apparent return of the Koopa Kids. Can’t say I’ll miss you, Bowser Jr.

Maybe (well, almost certainly) somewhere out on the vast Internet someone isn’t happy about this. I’ve been told there are people who don’t love Mario, who don’t have the same reaction I do, but I refuse to believe it. It would make me sad to think someone out there can’t be as happy as I am right now. No, I’d much rather cling to this child-like sense of awe and turn a blind eye to any evidence to the contrary. I know games aren’t for kids anymore, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still indulge in a little unabashed excitement from time to time. In theory, fun is what this medium is all about.
