Didn’t think I’ll be writing about this game this soon since I wasn’t planning on playing it, let alone finishing it, until after I’ve played through all of my much older games. But a couple of things bumped this game up to number 2 of the “Things I Will Play With” list. Just below “myself.”
The first thing was the two games I was currently playing, Trauma Center: New Blood and The Godfather: Blackhand Edition were proving to be too big for my puny gaming abilities. Which leads me to conclude that they suck.
The second was I saw Sylvia Christel in the No More Heroes trailer:
Yeah. There was no way I was putting off playing the game after seeing that. But as you’ll see (if you bother to continue reading this entry that is), the game is not just a thinly veiled excuse to give fan service to prepubescent (ok, it appeals to us old guys too) anime fanbois. The game, in a nutshell, is pure unadulterated fun.
Well actually there’s a third reason. But there’s no way in hell I’m admitting how the wife made me watch all Princess Hours episodes in the span of less than a week so I was in desperate need of some murders right after. Wait.

Are you getting tired of all the shit that ninjas have to put up with just to get through the day? People cross the street when they see you walking. Dogs hate you because they can never sense whenever you’re near. The Pirate kids down the street keep egging your house while shouting “We’re way cooler than you!”
Then your neighbors are always updating their state of the art home security systems (which never succeeds in stopping you from sneaking in and “borrowing” some stuff like sugar, milk, and kidneys). It’s hard for you to find a place to stay because your roommates have a tendency of disappearing on you. You can’t even find a date because the Ninja Code you live by prohibits you from uploading your real pic in your Friendster profile page:

So we’re here to help you to leave your Ninja ways behind and successfully to assimilate yourself into society. Below is a short list of scenarios designed to point you toward a happier existence with the people around you.

No other adage can aptly describe this game more perfectly than “It’s the journey and not the destination.” Well there’s “Every rose has its thorn,” and “You give love a bad name,” and finally “Bed of roses” but we’re not going into that right now.
Anyway, let’s get the bottomline out of the way first; this game is awesome, and every person who lives on Earth who has a Wii should get a copy. It’s awesome not because of the story and the the totally extraneous Rosalina subplot; but because of all the different levels / worlds you get to visit on your way to the final boss battle. Also, it’s awesome because it’s awesome.
It’s like the Wii was made for this game and vice versa. But before I get ahead of myself, let’s break it down:
Story / Plot
People shouldn’t even be concerned with the plot of any Mario game because they’re all the same. Bowser wants to take control of the island/ world / universe and he can’t do it without Princess Peach at his side. So it’s up to Mario to save Peach, and in so doing, saves the island/ world / universe.
Sucks I know, but you really can’t blame Nintendo for not straying too far from a formula which has sold millions. And to be honest, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
