Well January 1, 2015 makes 4 years that The Wife and I have been married. And this year, she got me a Wii U system which came bundled with Super Mario 3D World, Nintendo Land, Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze, and Super Smash Bros. Wii U! She purchased it back in November when Best Buy offered it as a Black Friday deal for $360. Wow...thoughtful and frugal. What a woman!
Actually, I knew she was getting me the Wii U-- we both just told each other what we wanted for our anniversary. She doesn’t pressure me to surprise her-- she’s good like that, LOL! Neither one of us expected the sweet bundle though. It was a deal too good to pass up. But even more surprise is the fact that she’s been playing Super Mario World 3D with me all this week! So far, we’ve completed 4 worlds together, working on the 5th now.
It’s pretty incredible that we’re playing this game together because she almost never plays video games with me. Not for more than 10 minutes at that. But over the past 3 nights, we’ve spent anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour just plugging away at the game. It’s interesting playing this with her because she has to be re-taught the concept of holding the “run” button to get a good momentum going while navigating the ground and jumping. Sometimes during the trickier platforming section, she’ll either get me to carry her across, or just stand still until I across the gaps and the game automatically warps her to my position. I’ve never felt so useful in my entire marriage. LOL!
The Wife loves to play as Princess Peach thanks to her ability to float in mid-air briefly. It’s saved her bacon on quite a few occasions when nearly missing the ledge after a leap. I love the new Cat Suit abilities and the cat wheel further levels other parts of the stage that would be otherwise unreachable. And we both love the Tanooki Suit..especially the invincible one you get if you keep dying in a stage. Overall, the game itself is beautiful and very fun-- especially the Bowser castles.
I’m very impressed with the game and think it’s a great start to being a Wii U owner. Best of all, I get to spend some quality game time with The Wife-- something I’ve been wanting for quite some time and I’m very grateful for. Thanks hon. You’re the best!
