Welcome to the the first written edition of the QQ Review!
Mario games have always been the flagship product for Nintendo; in my opinion no Nintendo console is worth buying until it has a true new Mario game to play on it. Regardless of my view on the New Super Mario Bros franchise, my fears concerning the Wii U's legitimacy have finally been laid to rest with the release of Super Mario 3D World. This game is a masterful followup to the portable Super Mario 3D Land, and a worthy successor to Super Mario Galaxy series.
Super Mario 3D World is platforming at its best. The game is nothing less than the polished, well rounded, and creative experience that you have come to expect from the core Mario franchise, but what keeps this series great is that it does not stop to rest on its laurels. While Super Mario 3D World may not arrive bearing the same level of innovation as some of its predecessors, it pulls together a fresh combination of ideas and tweaks the traditional formula enough to make this a unique experience all its own.
