I just remembered to pre-order it thanks to this thread. $13.97 at Best Buy with GCU and certificates.

New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe now available for Pre-Load on Switch
- Thread starter Ninjadom
- Start date
Off topic but did anyone get their $10 certificate from pre-ordering from smash from best buy? Still have not received mine.
This is one of the best platformers to be released this decade. But I would only double dip at full price at this point under one of two circumstances. First, if they added online 4-player co-op.
Nintendo expects me to pay for their online service now but their games either lack full and obvious features (Super Mario Party), is a complete mess (Smash Ultimate) or simply do not have online play at all despite the game being based around multiplayer (NSMB). I don't think that's acceptable at this point.
Second, I could look past that if they did something that absolutely would be worth $60 and this was something like New Super Mario Bros. All-Stars: NSMBU, Luigi U, an HD remaster of NSMB Wii and remakes of NSMB and NSMB2 from DS and 3DS using assets from Wii and Wii U. That would have been day one for me.

Preload? This definitely goes with Reggie's comment about wanting to give people a reason to buy a Switch after Christmas. The game is clearly already done and ready to go.
As a Wii U owner, I'll also echo the sentiments that this game is great and I'll probably pick up this and the other rereleases once they're Players Choice.

I totally forgot it included the Luigi U expansion too. Never played that, just the base game (which I didn't finish).
£50 is a big ask. I paid less than that for it back in 2012.
Edit: it is a good game though. Best of the NSMB games, but I'd hope if we get another 2D Mario game, it's a bit more ambitious.
Imo 3D World is the better game, I hope that get a Switch port eventually.

Isn't that the region it sold on Wii U? Mario Kart 8 is at like 10 million sold because it's a completely different style of game, it's worth going in again for it on a portable console, it's easier tp jump into with other players, this game isn't it's also one of the few titles that is easily available on Wii U and at a very cheap price, I expect this to drop in price quite frequently. Makes no sense for this to be anywhere near that price range, now had the title been Super Mario 3D World I'd feel quite differently.
Would be surprised if this gets anywhere near 2 million.
So sick of these, deffo a hard pass from me.
I genuinely thought there would be a new one & not a port.

That's perfectly normal. Not early at all.
You know what game did get a very early pre-load though? Super Mario Party. That was available for pre-load for around 4 months before launch! Nintendo literally sat on a finished game for all that time, purely for scheduling reasons (and it worked BTW!)
I'll never understand the crying about price on Wii U ports. It's a new game to the vast majority of Switch owners. It's digital. It's a Remaster considering it will run at over twice the resolution to the older version. It has the Luigi DLC included. You can take it on the go and play in handheld mode. You can play local mp on the go with the small screen and joycons attached. It's £10 cheaper than the other big first party games on the eshop.
If you've already played it on Wii U and don't think it's worth the money then... don't buy it.
For people who've not played it definitely pick it up if you like the genre. It's the best 2D Mario outside of 3 and World imo. It's one of the best launch games ever.
I'm happy to pick it up at launch to play through it again. I have like £9 in eshop points to put towards it too!
I think PS4 games are up for preload no more than a week before launch.
Some people already own the game digitally and the DLC.
I'd just like Nintendo to throw me a bone for having supported the Wii U when the market in general didn't, and offer some discount for people who already bought these games.
I have a 4 year old that sleeps with a Luigi doll and a 7 year old who is big into Smash right now. Yes, I'm getting this.
Am I pleb for being so annoyed that this isn't just called "New Super Mario Bros. Deluxe" rather than still having the U in the title that I really just may not buy it? Why is the U there. Dumb.
Edit : Oh, and it's 60$? Yeah in that case, it should have been more of a NSMB collection anyway. And my title would have made MORE sense! But yeah, gonna skip this for now. It will still sell though.

Really liking this initiative. You're essentially getting $6 back on a $60 purchase.
Not buying a Wii U is turning out to be the best gaming decision I have ever made. Only missing Xenoblade Chronicles X at this point.
That would imply it's an enhanced rerelease of the DS game, though.
I will probably get this later. But since it is a Nintendo first party game it will rarely ever get cheaper which sucks. The game is not worth that price point.
Not sure if I want to double dip on this one. I can't imagine the bump in resolution adding that much to the experience.
The Wii U version was cool but nothing revelatory.

I honestly think this - and paricularly Super Luigi U - have a strong case for best 2D Mario; it's the endpoint of a ton of evolution and polish. After years away from Mario it had me playing through multiple times and sent me back to play through all the games in the series I'd missed. Have fun, Switch owners. Go into it with an open mind and you're in for a trip.
Hell i barely even played the wii one.
But still, £50 is fucking woof. Nintendo makes it really difficult to jump into new franchises with there pricing
Really they should have just included all levels from the DS. Wii and 3DS games, and called it "New Super Mario Bros Complete Collection" or similar.
Yeah, but after seeing it's 60$ see my edit. It should be anyway. But they know Switch's base is constantly hungry and that no one gave a fuck about the Wii U so it's games barely even existed in the mainstream. This shit's still gonna sell a lot. Normally I don't mind these Ninty Switch ports, but this is kind of pushing it. They really should have made this a NSMB collection if it's gonna cost that. I would be happy to buy it then.
It's absolutely one of the best 2D platformers and with Super Luigi U a part of the package as well, it's absolutely worth $60.
This is one port I'll probably pass on, I played both games on the Wii U and don't feel the need to play them again. For those who haven't played them though, I do think this is a nice bundle and worth the price.
Nearly 12GB of missing gameplay tutorial videos that were on the Wii U version. But probably 1080p vs 720p.
Except that SMO and even BotW both have been discounted on the eshop already, so this also will go lower.
Cheapest I found it for was £37.99 with in-store pickup at Smyths.
I played the crap out of this on Wiiu, I woke up to my wife continuing on our file without me! 3 in the dang morning! ><
I would argue that is not even worth the money in that case since there are way better 2D platformers on the Switch alone like DKCTF and Rayman Legends.
