GameRankings.com Review Score Averages:

The review score averages are unchanged from last week.

Thoughts:

New Super Mario Bros. Wii had a little more than three times the increase in "Total Hours", than Wii Fit Plus did this week.  NSMBW again had more "Total Hours" gained by itself than Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Plus had combined together.

I'm still really surprised that Wii Fit Plus is sold out on Amazon.com.

Three weeks and counting now, Amazon.com is still out-of-stock of Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board!  If you missed it above, the Wii Fit Plus is only available from 2nd/3rd party vendors on Amazon.com.  The price is starting at $139.95 + $19.95 shipping!

Last week, I said my wife and I did beat the main campaign of New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and, "We are now going back collecting the star coins to unlock the other levels."

Well, we did complete New Super Mario Bros. Wii and found all the star coins in all the levels.

Questions:

If you have played New Super Mario Bros. Wii by yourself, or with others, did you go back and collect the star coins to unlock the hidden levels?  If so, did you complete all the hidden levels and collect all the star coins within them?
