New Super Mario Bros.

The good old days...

Man did this game bring back memories of when I was just a kid. This game is def old school, but at the same time it is a new game. It is very solid for a side scroller and I am not one to really get into side scrollers. You do have the usual story (Bowser naps the Princess Peach), and you have the usual enemies, power ups and the vualble coins. however, now you when you can become huge and involnerable for short peroids. that is really a kick to have mario as big as the whole screen.
Over all this is just a old school game with a lot of modern fun.
