What a disappointment

User Rating: 1.1 | Mario Bros. NES
By felthorien | Review Date:
As I'm sure Nintendo intended, I purchased this title thinking it was Super Mario Brothers. In my haste to smash goombas and collect coins, I failed to realize this was not the game I had intended to buy. In its own right, this is a decent game...very very DECENT at best. The same version of this game they put in Super Mario Brothers 3 is far superior. The handling is less responsive than I would have liked, and the graphics look terrible even for an NES title. Unless you absolutely have to own every title they put on the Virtual Console, avoid this at all costs.
