New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the kind of game that comes out once every five years. So rare is it to see a game that unifies elements that should be common to every game but seldom are: Innovation, purpose, and fun. In a game library saturated by rubbish, New Super Mario Bros. Wii is guaranteed to be the Wii’s game of the year, and a formidable contender for the best Wii title yet.

Wii continues to prove that fact.
