Cooking Mama: Cook Off
The Cooking Mama franchise is an excellent example of a 3rd Party publisher (Taito) embracing Nintendo's strategy of expanding the games market to non-gamers and casual gamers.
I purchased the DS version for my wife as a gift, and she thought it was great. So, this mother's day, my daughter and I got our family's Mama a Wii, with Cooking Mama: Cook Off as the game we chose to launch with.
Needless to say, cracking eggs and shaking the frying pan has never been more accurately recreated in a game before! This is a fantastic game to grab and highly recommended.

Super Paper Mario
Since the Nintendo Wii came out last year, many die hard gamers have been marveled with excitement over the way gamers can now play video games with the remote controller. There have been a lot of great games for it like The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess, and Excite Truck. Sadly, many gamers have been anxiously waiting the new Super Mario Galaxy, and hoping Mario would deliver again. Unfortunately, gamers will have to wait. However, a different Mario game has arrived from the die hard Paper Mario franchise from the gamecube and Nintendo 64 eras. There also is something that makes this paper seem better than flat, but will it satisfy Mario fans for now?
Super Paper Mario for the Nintendo Wii, brings nack what made the Paper Mario games deliver in true role play. This time around, the game really does think out of the box, as Mario, Luigi, Peach and Bowser try to tackle the vicious Count Bleck and his minions Mr. L, Dimentio and others, as they tackle a fierce and wild world that seperates from the flipside and flopside. Each character has to unlock pixels, which help you through achievements from finding hidden doors, to lifting bosses. There are over 30 different levels in the game that bring back the classic 2-D side-scrolling action from the original Super Mario Brothers, with a different twist. Each character you play has a special ability. Peach and Luigi have a high jump, Bowser has the traditional fire-blazes, but Mario has the best ability. He can flip his world from a 2-D, to 3-D, to find hidden items and unlock hidden areas. The graphics in the game are absolutely beautiful, and really bring the classic gameplay into a whole new perspective, while the control is really on target most of the time. You do get a bit frustrated finding the unlocked doors, but everything else works like a charm. The story line also is fun and entertaining in each world of the game, while the story is cute but enjoyable for all the worlds.
All in all, Super Paper Mario is a well-rendered game for the Wii, and should entice new Mario fans, as well as those waiting Super Mario Galaxy. I really like this game because it is fun and exciting, for all ages and Nintendo junkies. This is one of the best games for the Wii, and any owner will love this game a lot.

Super Paper Mario
This new Mario game for the Nintendo Wii console brings a new dimension to both the Mario and Paper Mario series. Like most other Mario games, the Princess has been captured and taken away. In this game she is taken by Count Bleck. His plan, following the Dark Prognostics, is to have Peach and Bowser get married. This marriage will open a void that will consume every world. Mario is brought to the land of Flipside, a demension between dimensions. He has to stop the void by retrieving the 8 Pure Hearts throughout the game, as well as rescuing Peach, Bowser and Luigi.
Now to the most unique and interesting addition to the game: The ability to flip between 2-D and 3-D. This allows you to find secrets and solve puzzles in the game. The downside is that you are only allowed a limited amount of time in 3-D.
Fun: A
Creativity: A+
Story: B+
Overall: A
P.S. The music in the game is quite dull and bland and never actually uses the Mario theme song. This is not important but is mildly annoying.
P.P.S. This game is very long, especially if you want to go back and find all the secrets. Also it uses the Wii Remote's features very well in creative ways.

Super Paper Mario
first off, i want to say that the Wii is by far the most amazing gaming console out there right now.
super paper mario on the wii, is the first paper mario game i've played. i wasn't too sure i was going to like it. but i love love mario games so i figured why not? well the first time i put it in and started playing, i played for a good straight 3 hours. it's a great game. i love the whole aspect of switching between 2d and 3d. not to mention i really like that theres some scenes of the older mario games. i'm not sure if the paper mario games on the cube are the same, but i like how its pretty much a platform game. i also think the story line is very well thought out, and the writing is so clever, sometimes a little corny, but it makes the game that much more fun. i'd have to agree it's a little easy, but still challenging enough for me that its fun to play. overall i really enjoy the game, and recommend it to anyone.

Super Paper Mario
This game is fun and highly addictive. Easy enough to blast right through, complex enough that you can easily devote hours and hours to game play. Super Paper Mario combines the best elements of traditional side-scrolling Mario with RPG and some Wii Remote motion-sensing. 5 stars just isn't enough for this game!

Super Paper Mario
This could be an excellent game if the developers had cut 75% of the reading. There are periods where you have to sit through 10 minutes of character conversations before seeing any action. Reading like this might be appropriate for some games but for a mario platformer .. no thanks.
The 2-D to 3-D is a great concept, hopefully Nintendo expands on this in the future .. minus the dialog.

Mario Party 8
This past year, the Nintendo Wii has really delivered in making a promise of delivering gameplay that is fun and addictive as the game system delivered. That has been the case with great games that really showed it like Excite Truck and the dramatic The Legend Of Zelda: Twilight Princess. With all that said about great games, mini-game excitement has also delivered too with the return of the Mario Party series. It has been almost 2 years since the franchise had its last game on the Nintendo Gamecube, and worked like a charm by being innovative and fun for all ages. Now, it has finally made its way onto the Wii, but is it worth the wait.
Mario Party 8 for the Nintendo Wii is a wild and addictive game that brings out a simplicity for gamers young and old alike, as you unlock and play over 70 minigames that are easy and fun to play. There are also a few new additions here too, as you can also unlock players including Blooper, the sea squid from the Super Mario Brothers games, and Hammer Brothers, which recently returned in a great set of guest cameos in Super Mario Strikers and Mario Superstar Baseball. The graphics are delightful but the gameplay is definitely what brings the game to its success, as you use the Wii remote to play in games like waving a magic wand and using an energy ball to strike Bowser in a one on one showdown, punching a statue to smitherines with a boxing glove, or using it you are shaking a soda can and creating a gusher in one of the duel minigames. You can also use your Mii characters that you've created from games like Wii Sports and have them play in the Star Carnival and play games like ping pong. The graphics are delightful and the sound carries well throughout each of the boards, but the gameplay really does deliver for new Wii owners as well as die hard Mario fans alike.
All in all, Mario Party 8 is a delightful game that welcomes the party franchise Wii owners well. I loved what the series brought out for so many years, and I know that this edition does a great job as well. Considering there are so many great games coming out for the Nintendo Wii like Big Brain Academy: Wii Degree, this one is definitely a wonderful addition to your Wii library.

Mario Party 8
I've played Mario Party since the very first one came out on the N64. And though the games have always been similar to each other, they always have been fun to play with a party!! MP8 is no different!! The minigames are fun, the added Wii Remote play is a blast, and you can use your Mii's on several of the minigames!! If you are looking for a GREAT multiplayer game, look no further!!
