The original Super Mario games stand amongst the most important and influential video games ever created, but after the series shifted to the third dimension, Mario's side-scrolling adventures never quite reached the same heights. Now, for the first time since 1995, at least in my opinion, the magic of 2D Mario lives again in Super Mario Bros. Wonder.
Luigi's Mansion 2 HD still performing well.
The platform breakdowns really show how irrelevant xbox has come for selling software.
1 Hogwarts Legacy Switch 41%, PS5 26%, PS4 24%, Xbox 5%
2 EA Sports FC 24 Switch 34%, PS5 28%, PS4 26%, Xbox 12%
Yea, you can see why some developers and publishers are increasingly starting to skip XBox all together. Unless you're in a small minority of successful and highly played Gamepass games, you're pretty much taking a payout on your game just to rot and die on the service.
Not that surprising, the Switch has some killer exclusive titles, so people have to own a Switch to play them.
One unused Super Mario Bros. Wonder effect would have had Mario go live action, with Mario himself humming the music and mimicking sound effects.
I imagine a lot of these wonder effects especially the cut ones were imagined while the team were out drinking somehow
Super Smash Bros Ultimate will host a new Spirits event on March 21 to celebrate the release of Princess Peach Showtime! and Super Mario Bros Wonder. The event will last for five days with new Spirits from the Nintendo Switch games.
I tend to agree it's an incredible game and like the review states it's not based on pushing graphical fidelity but rather picking your target based on the hardware and nailing it
I want this game, probably gonna do the 2 games for $100 so I can get it for $50 unless a black Friday deal brings it down to $40 which I highly doubt.
But I've been told that Xenoblade showed perfect mastery of Switch hardware.
Oh it's a Switch game? I thought it was for mobile phones.
Nice! I need to get this soon!
