U (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/nintendo-wii-u/platformer/12296/new-super-mario-bros-u/) (82%).On Nintendo Land (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/nintendo-wii-u/compilation/12757/nintendo-land/) GM says there's "a heck of a lot more to it" than merely showing off the new GamePad. It calls the Lugi's Mansion, Mario Chase and Animal Crossing games in particular "some of the most innovative, raucous and party-fuelling fun we've ever had with a console."
While the single-player content might not be as memorable, GamesMaster says Nintendo Land (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/nintendo-wii-u/compilation/12757/nintendo-land/) is ultimately "an essential purchase for party lovers".
On New Super Mario Bros. U (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/nintendo-wii-u/platformer/12296/new-super-mario-bros-u/) GM says it was "surprised" by the amount of innovation on show in its later levels, and despite being an easier franchise entry concludes that NSMBU "bodes well for Mario's future Wii U outings".
The verdicts are part of a monster Wii special in GamesMaster 258, which you can buy online now and have delivered to your door (http://www.myfavouritemagazines.co.uk/gaming/gamesmaster-magazine-back-issues/), or purchase digitally via iOS (http://goo.gl/e8yBi) and Android (http://goo.gl/oTfg3).
