New Super Mario Bros U

These puffy dudes are cute but deadly
Date played: November 30th
Platform: Wii U
Session fun rating: 9/10

I played a few more levels of NSMBU with my girlfriend and daughter. We are working through the water based world which has tons of underwater levels. One of the levels that really stood out is an underwater chase where Mario and company must escape from a large dragon-like creature. It was pretty tricky since we had to keep moving and because there are two of us, we sometimes got stuck on geometry and died.

My daughter also seems to enjoy using the Gamepad. While she is only 2 1/2 years old and usually can't play normal games, she can tap on the touch screen and put blocks near us to help us out. She's actually really useful sometimes and has saved our sorry asses more than once. I'm really happy to play with her!
