New Super Mario Brothers Wii

Features:
• New Super Mario Bros. Wii offers a combination of cooperation and competition. Players can pick each other up to save them from danger or toss them into it.

• Mario, Luigi and two Toads are all playable characters, while many others from the Mushroom Kingdom make appearances throughout the game. Players can even ride different Yoshi characters and use their tongues to swallow enemies – or their fellow players.

• In some areas, players use the motion abilities of the Wii Remote controller. The first player to reach a seesaw might make it tilt to help his or her character reach a higher platform – and then tilt it incorrectly just to mess with other players.

• New items include the propeller suit, which will shoot players high into the sky with just a shake of the Wii Remote and Mario’s new ability to transform into Penguin Mario.

Punch Out for the Wii

Punch-Out

Okay now onto the review. Anyone who has played Punch-Out on NES will know the secret way to beat the boxers. Now that being said, it doesn't make it any easier.

You can play with or without the Wii Fit Balance Board. I recommend with. If you incorporate the board you will get an intense workout. I played for 2 1/2hours, rotating between 3 other people, and I am still in pain two days later. With the Balance Board, you squat to duck and shift to the left or right inorder to move your character. My legs HURT. I wouldn't find it that thrilling of a game if it were not for the balance board, but if you were a diehard Punch-Out fan you will love it regardless.

Once I stop hurting, I'll be playing again. Four stars with the balance board...3 stars without.

Maybe it's just because I have a soft spot for Mario Kart, but I saw this on YouTube and can't stop watching it. Haha.

I'm a little embarassed because I'm not usually into the Emo tunes, but it's so sweet!!

I asked for Diddy Kong Racing for DS and NHL 2K9 for Wii. I'm pretty sure I'll get them since I didn't ask for much else.

Happy Turkey Day!
