Retro gaming for the 21st Century - play the original Super Mario Bros. in 3D

Mario3d

The committed retro gamers down at Destructoid have come up with a creative adaptation of the much loved 2D NES classic, Super Mario Brothers. As always, the same rules apply - beat every level, defeat Bowser, and save Princess Peach. If you’re a purist then you’ll probably not going to enjoy this at all, yet the 3D perspective does inject some life into this tried and tested formula. Controlling Mario is distinctly different, and the task of killing Koopas is a whole new challenge altogether. Indeed, barring the expected glitches, this is a great proof of concept and a welcome creative twist on one of the gaming classics.

If you like that you might want to check out the New Super Mario Bros. game, it's due for release at the end of the month for the Nintendo DS - or you can get it on import from the US. It really does rock.
