New Super Mario Bros. Wii: First Thoughts
GameFly delivered me yet another happy package yesterday - New Super Mario Bros. Wii. As expected, this game is old school fun with a new school sensibilities. Picking up this game is simple and fun. I played single player... but can see the mad potential of a 4-player co-op orgy.
I found the gameplay to be simple at the start but got a bit murky when waggle came into play. The tilt ramps are a smart use of the controller but I found the sky-slam (not an official title for this move) to be tempermental and not as smooth of a move as it should be. Wall jumping, also, was not as fluid as I might like. I really wish that they had allowed players to use the classic controller or the nunchuk.
More comments to come...

I haven't had that problem but I've only made it to World 2-1 and I am playing solo. I am convinced that this is not better than Super Mario Galaxy or New Super Mario Bros. on the DS. Nevertheless, it is still better than 99% of games on the Wii.
I don't know if you had the same problem but sometimes Mario gets a little ahead of himself. I feel like I don't have as much control.
