New Super Mario Bros. Wii

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a 2-D platformer developed and released by Nintendo for the Wii in 2009. Much like other Mario games, NSMBWii is a simple quest to rescue Princess Peach from the clutches of Bowser; however, it's different from other Mario games in that it supports simultaneous multiplayer, and the difficulty is more akin to the older, more challenging Mario titles for the NES. It was a massive commercial success, and is one of the best-selling Mario games of all time - it proved to be somewhat polarizing among critics, however, though most generally enjoyed it. (EDITOR'S NOTE: If you ask me, this is one of the top three Mario games ever, up there with Yoshi's Island and the original Super Mario Bros. I can't recommend it enough!)

This game made its contest debut in 2010, during the "Game of the Decade" contest; in a result many Board 8 members found surprising, it lost to Marvel vs. Capcom 2 in Round One.
