Game is fine but for being new unused there should be booklet inside the case. None was found and this is not fine.

Igual que el de aquí

Esta versión está en castellano al ponerla en la consola.

La parte delantera no tiene texto pequeño así que no se distingue de la versión de aquí.
La trasera si tiene texto en inglés pero importa poco.

El juego en sí es muy bueno, pero en mi caso lo estoy jugando después de haber acabado el super mario 3d world y claro, no resiste la comparación. Al ponerlo lo notaba como más lentorro pero eso es por comparar con el de sobremesa.

Mario en plataformas pocas veces falla.

Un ottimo gioco che spacca la linearità fra i classici platform 2d/3d della serie super mario. Ultra consigliato

Not to buy this!

I have been a huge Mario fan and can say this is a cross between 'Super Mario 64' and 'New Super Mario Bros.' - my two favourite Mario games.

That is the best description I can give! The game has eight worlds (initially)and you go through them like in NSMB and try to save Peach. The levels are very different and I love the sequence ones. There are fun one where blocks move when Mario jumps and where things move around. It is so much fun!

The graphics are great and I think this game is great for ALL AGES! It increases with difficulty, but starts off easily so it balances out. If you struggle for long enough, an invincible suit pops up to help you. You still have to play but Mario is immune to fire and other weapons thrown at him, so it helps and you don't feel as if you've cheated.

After you complete the eight worlds, Luigi is kidnapped and you CAN go through the levels again...except they aren't the same...They are harder and slightly different!

In the 'Special levels', a certain amount of stars are required at the boss levels to continue. This encourages you to go back and complete former levels as best as you possibly can, otherwise you have to wait to progress. I thought this was a great idea as I managed to get most of the stars and felt chuffed!

All in all, an amazing game with amazing graphics and a great, yet familiar plot-line. this is for new gamers, young gamers, old gamers and Mario-addicts...Basically everyone!

____THE SNAGS:

You are at a disadvantage if you don;t use the 3D...I know because I've tired it with both. I am not a great lover of 3D but found it harder with 2D. This wasn't a huge problem and I am patient, but if you are impatient, use the 3D!

The game is so addictive and you may neglect other things...You need more willpower to stop than to play!

Please bear in mind I am a shroud person and thought this was well-worth the money and I would advise anyone to buy this. At £30.00 you are getting an extraordinary deal as you can play this over and over again. xD

Classic NES Mario with a new Twist and in 3D!

This brings back my childhood memories of when I used to play Maria on NES, with additional functionality of saving your progress, and being able to carry on after wasting your three lives. However there are some new features, that make this game really enjoyable. One the fact it makes use of the 3DS 3D Graphics system to bring the 2D NES Mario to life in three dimensions

Secondly it also comes with mini puzzles you must complete to get secret items and power ups, and when losing all three lives, you do get a chance to get back the power-ups you lost, saves you tearing your hair out trying to find all those power-ups again in the level you died in.

However I have found it very easy to fall off platforms, by being too close to the edge! I suppose you get so distracted dogding baddies fireballs you just don't realise your nearing your death, until its too late. I've noticed theres a way to cling to an edge, but it has never worked to my liking so far - Mario just seems to still fall off giving up trying to climb back up (I'm probably missing something here)

The soundtrack is a CD quality version of the original NES soundtrack of Mario (When using decent headphones or an adequately powered HiFi\Speaker System)

I can't wait to complete this game.

Overall Result: I'm exceptionally happy with this game.

L'unica cosa che potrebbe dare fastidio è la custodia e le istruzioni in inglese, per il resto come da titolo... Gioco forse un po' troppo facile, ma come non comprarlo se Amazon ti fa risparmiare ben 11€? AMAZing!

New Super Mario Galaxy 64 3D

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2024

It’s no secret that Nintendo’s incessant penchant for innovation has, from time to time, given rise to accusations of gimmickry. Indeed it’s hard to deny that the Big N does sometimes like to awkwardly shoehorn its latest console’s unique selling point into gameplay, regardless of the fit.

The Nintendo 3DS’s unique selling point or was, of course, its sterostopic 3D. For the most part this was received with lukewarm enthusiasm by the gaming community. The 3DS’s premature price drop and the damage limitation of an “ambassador programme” for aggrieved early adopters is testament to that. It would not be an exaggeration to suggest that, for many, the 3DS’s core feature was an inoffensive novelty at best.

And yet for every accusation of an ill conceived gimmick there is a game in each console generation that utterly vindicates Nintendo’s vision. For the 3DS that game is Super Mario 3D land.

Now I’ve stomped a fair few goombas in my time. Indeed I dread to think of how many hours I’ve sunk into a good old Mario platformer over the years. But nothing has come as close to triggering my sense of childlike wonder and delight as seeing an assortment of bullet bills come whizzing out of the screen. Not that the 3D is a mere visual affectation. It is an integral part of the gameplay giving a new sense of spatial awareness and a richness to the gameplay that would simply not have been possible on any other platformer.

Stereoscopic effects aside, the game is a glorious and eclectic amalgamation of the very best of Mario’s 2D and 3D heritage. Each level seamlessly blends the linear structure of New Super Mario Bros with the platforming dynamics of Mario 64 and the visual pinache of Mario Galaxy.

When it comes to sterostopic 3D, Super Mario 3D Land is the proof of concept par excellence. What’s more remarkable is that is belongs in the top drawer of Mario games even without it.

Not quite Mario 64, but I do like this

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 4, 2013

The gameplay offered by this game is kind of similar to Mario 64 in respect to the 3d elements. However, unlike Mario 64 in which gameplay was much more explorative, this game follows more tradition Mario style gameplay (linear in a sense, but the 3d puts a nice twist on it). Graphically, it's colourful, it's bold, it's brilliant. Simply as. You don't have to use the 3d slider on your 3ds but it detracts from the graphics. Nintendo did get it right or this game. I thought the 3d was more subtle and not important to the gameplay, which is as it should be. Controls are a dream, and its still easy to pick up. The joystick style of controller means movement is better and flows better too, and jumping and crouching as well as throwing fireballs is still the same way as previous games. Level variety is ok, sone levels follow. Similar path to other worlds in which theres a open level, followed by an underground level and so on. worlds are also short as theres not many levels in them (but there are 16 worlds to play through). Power ups are ok, not great, but ok. The tanooki power up is really useful for slowing down in mid air or to get across a wide distance. Fireball Mario is still, fireball mario. But with the 3d you can now fire in more than 2 directions. I don't think too much of boomerang Mario, too much like fireball. If there s one thing I would have liked, it would have been more variety of power ups but it doesn't detract from the game greatly. I would recommend this game over Super Mario bros. 2 ds. I think this game is shorter but I enjoyed playing this more. It's not as simple to play but its not a hard game to get into. It saves instantly after completing a level, so it's easier to leave and then pick up and play later. Star coins collected can help to unlock other levels. It's not as good as Mario Galaxy or Mario 64, but then not everyone enjoys the explorative part of these games. In terms of the game offered here, I'd say its a good upgrade of the Mario bros series. Definitely an essential purchase for the 3ds
