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
It's the Dawn of The Final Days for the 3DS. We've put together a list of the essential 3DS titles you should download now while you still can!
No need for that shit, mod your 3DS and have the whole collection for nothing. https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Nintendo will be shutting down the eShop for the 3DS and Wii U completely in 2023. Makes sure to check out these games before they do.
If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.
Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.
This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!
Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.
Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?
There has been.
A lot of it.
Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.
Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.
I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?
N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.
Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.
If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.
It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.
You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.
This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
I like having the physical copy because i can display it in my collection, sell it, let friends borrow it, and sometimes it comes with pretty cool things, ex: maps from red dead.
Digital is cool too, you don't have to get up when changing your games, And its easier to purchase seeing as you can just download them, but there is also a down side. You lose tons of space on your hard-drive. But if you have a 500 gb ps3 like me, you'll be just fine.
Digital can be an easier option. I am buying more digital versions lately. The problem I am finding is it takes a while (often a ridiculous amount of time) to download the product. It is often quicker for me to drive to the shops and pick it up. Once the speed starts to increase and the price of new retail releases gets competitive then digital releases will become more attractive
Retail for consoles and digital for handhelds.
Digital is realy nice, but it gives the service one buys it from to much power and controll over your paid product.
Steam for my pc, and mostly hard copies for my consoles. Until consoles have a system in place that enables me to buy and save money like Steam then it will be mostly hard copies for the foreseeable future.
That's not to say I haven't found some bargains, psn has had a few I've taken up over the last year or two, but they are few and far between. Most of the time the prices are too high to consider paying for, which is understandable in a way as they don't want to upset the retailers they sell the most amount of games through.
