Super Mario 3D World is the much anticipated 3D Mario for Wii U. Production is being handled by Tokyo EAD, the visionary team behind Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 3D Land. And if the initial internet reaction is anything to go by, it is, to quote Obi-Wan, not the 3D Mario you are looking for. Why? Blame familiarity. On the surface - and indeed, in the name - 3D World riffs on a handheld game. A fine handheld game, yes, but not the natural first step in a next-gen journey.
There’s still hope for Super Mario 3D World’s legacy in this modern era of Nintendo.
If they do make a sequel, they should incorporate Bowser’s Fury’s game design into the mix. Think Bowser’s Fury’s overworld where you can find warp points to linear levels like Mario 3D World.
The iconic red plumber have taken us everywhere, from another galaxy to New Donk City. Here are the best Super Mario games you can play right now.
I still say the series peaked with Galaxy. They've put out good stuff since then, but nothing really matched up.
It's time for Nintendo to give the Super Mario 3D World formula another chance with a new game built from the ground up for the Nintendo Switch.
Rather have a new Super Mario RPG.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars is my favorite Mario. I'd event take a remaster/remake.
My favourite Mario’s are Mario 64 and SM World SNES. Neither Odyssey nor 3D World were great imo.
I cannot wait for this great game!!! the wii u is really kicking it up for the fall season, so many great games coming out!! and this is one I will buy on day one!!
Same! Just got Pikmin 3 today and LOVE IT! The HD graphics make the world look like its almost real lol.
I played Super Mario 3D world and its a TON of fun. Can't wait for December.
