As reported by Le Figaro, 2015 was a rather calm year for Nintendo compared to 2014 (which had Super Smash Bros. and Pokémon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire, among others). Still, sales didn’t drop as much as you’d expect in France:
-Nintendo 3DS: 685 000 units sold (-6%)
-Wii U: 228 000 units sold (-4%)
For the Nintendo 3DS, it’s pretty clear that the launch of the New Nintendo 3DS, back in February, helped limit the drop in sales. But Software also played a big role, especially “old” games such as Mario Kart 7. Released back in 2011, it sold over 225 000 units in 2015, and was the 8th best-selling game in France. Same for New Super Mario Bros. 2, released in 2012, which sold an additional 180 000 units.
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
Joker, Banjo and Kazooie, and Terry amiibo restock for Super Smash Bros. on the way with pre-orders now open.
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?
Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.
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
