For many of us, Super Mario World shifted the Mushroom Kingdom from numbered, sequential stages to something more organic. The term “world” never felt more appropriate. New Super Mario Bros. U is the first 2D Mario game not only to return to that approach, but to take it subtly to the next level. The vast, seamless overworld not only houses the requisite levels, fortresses and castles, but also features items that can be picked up off the ground, roaming enemies that must be defeated, secrets, alternate paths and even some boss fights that occur within their own context, outside of any platforming sequence. Why Nintendo ever moved away from this approach seems even more baffling now that it’s returned.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it
Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?
This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.
Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3
I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game
I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh
Daily Video Game writes: "Dozens of popular select action-adventure, racing, RPG, and shooter games are currently discounted at Amazon for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch with up to 75% off!"
Retailers have put a few first-party Switch games from Nintendo on sale. Not only are the discounts available physically, but digitally as well.
Already pre-ordered. Good times a comin'. :)
I'm glad I got rid of the 3DS version because this one actually seems better than the 3DS version. It has a world map like SMW(SNES) and it isn't all about coins like the 3DS version, (which I really didn't like). All in all, I guess I'll be picking this one up at launch... Great job on keeping a classic fresh, now focus on Metroid and Zelda please, I would love it if they had a 3DS or Wii U version sometime in the near future...
Out of the gates Nintendo delivers another AAA quality exclusive offering. I had my eyes set on this gem from the very beginning when it was announced, and knew that it would come correct. Day one purchase for New Super Mario Bros U.
As YoungPlex stated above, the Super Mario World SNES throwback map is a blast from the past. Bringing a true feeling of nostalgia from the good ol days. Its warming to see that Nintendo has not forgotten where they came from, but also know where they are going. A fresh and positive start for the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system.
Rated E For Everyone
That Mario reign just won't let up. :)
I'm going to co-op this with my older brother next week. Just like the good old days... but this time, we don't have to switch off.
