New Super Mario Bros. Wii
New Super Mario Bros. Wii is a 2D side-scrolling platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Wii. It is a sequel to New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS and a part of the New Super Mario Bros. series. It was released in 2009. A high-definition remastered port for the Nvidia Shield TV was released in China in December 2017. The game's plot is similar to other side-scrolling Super Mario games. The player controls Mario as he travels eight worlds and fights Bowser's henchmen to rescue Princess Peach. New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the first Super Mario game to feature simultaneous multiplayer gameplay; up to four people can play in cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes, taking control of Mario as well as Luigi and one of two multicolored Toads. The game also introduces "Super Guide", which allows the player to watch a computer-controlled character complete a level.
Shigeru Miyamoto had held desires to create a Super Mario game with cooperative multiplayer since the series' synthesis. After failed attempts to integrate it into Super Mario 64 due to hardware limitations, he was able to fully explore the concept with the advent of the Wii and its more advanced hardware capabilities. Having developed New Super Mario Bros. and feeling that it was not as challenging as he hoped, Miyamoto designed New Super Mario Bros. Wii with the intent of accessibility for players of all skill levels. Features such as Super Guide and the ability to enter a floating bubble on command and opt out of doing a certain part of a level was added to cater to beginners, whereas other details, such as an award for not prompting the Super Guide block to appear in any level, were added to provide a layer of difficulty. Shiho Fujii and Ryo Nagamatsu composed the game's soundtrack, whereas Koji Kondo, the series' regular composer, served as sound advisor.
The game was announced following a slight drop in profits, with Nintendo hoping that its release would help to rejuvenate sales of the Wii console. New Super Mario Bros. Wii was both critically and commercially successful, receiving particular praise for its multiplayer aspect, though some critics were disappointed by the game's lack of new content compared to previous Super Mario titles. As of March 2018, it is the fourth best-selling game on the Wii, selling 30. 20 million copies worldwide. It received several honors, including the Best Wii Game award from the 2009 Spike Video Game Awards, IGN, and GameTrailers. A sequel, New Super Mario Bros. U, was developed for the Wii U console and released as a launch game for the system in November 2012.
