New Super Mario Bros (Wii): Prima Official Game Guide
Amazon review: The new startegy guide for New Super Mario Brother Wii, is mostly a helpful guide that clearly displays the maps for all of the challenging levels throughout the Mushroom kingdom, and gives you good tidbits on how to defeat Bowser and his alliances from his Koopa Kids like Roy and Ludwig, to unlocking new paths to helping you accumulate Star Coins throught each level. My one big gripe is that I wish the guide could've brought up a little more detail on how some of the controls for the game work, as was in the past with previous strategy guides on Mario games. While it is sad that Nintendo has made the decision to stop making strategy guides of their own, and letting Prima handle them, what they made to help you out in New Super Mario Brother Wii, is mostly a helpful guide to save Princess Toadstool (a.k.a. Princess Peach) from the clutches of evil. If you have the game, I absolutely recommend you own the guide too.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Wii): Prima Official Game Guide
Amazon review: There is no question about the success of Super Mario Galaxy and with the strong hype surrounding around Super Mario Galaxy 2, there is a strong need for a strong strategy guide to help you go thorugh the immense and exciting challenges of the game. Unfortunately, for Prima, they've held the books on delivering strategy guides since Nintendo decided to stop making them a few years ago. With Prima's guide for Super Mario Galaxy 2, they have a good display of the graphics on each of the levels of the game, but with all of the challenges of getting comet medals, and challenging stars including the 120 Green Star challenge, there could've been a bit more display to master through the challenging game. While it does have some bright spots like helping you through easily with the boss matches from Bowser's ultimate showdown in a giant-sized form, nice displays of each level in beautiful maps, but overall there just could've been more than should've been added. Still, I do honestly wish that there was more for those hard core gamers, but it is a good buy for anyone whom is a owner of Super Mario Galaxy 2.
