Best Wii U Exclusive 2013

Super Mario 3D World – Best Wii U Exclusive 2013

Platform: Wii U

Publisher: Nintendo

Developer: Nintendo EAD Tokyo and 1-UP Studio

 

Super Mario 3D World is exactly what the Wii U has been needing since launch—a system-seller. It hits all the hallmarks of what makes any Mario game great, then adds four-player multiplayer that’s co-operative with a touch of competitiveness.

You may not instantly recognize 3D World’s worth until you dig deep into the game and find both the variety and sheer amount of levels and challenges for you and friends can face. Even after the credits roll, there’s practically another game’s worth of more levels for you to enjoy… and curse out because they’re unforgiving in their difficulty—especially if you are trying to nab all three green stars and stamp in each level.

The time spent playing Super Mario 3D World with friends and family creates memories that’ll last beyond the Wii U console generation and is exactly what made Super Mario Bros. and the original NES forever icons in the gaming universe.
