Nabbit because I'm very bad at Mario games. Upon looking at the Nabbit character design, haha, he/she/it looks funny & charming.
Super excited for undocked MP!
Many thanks for the terrific OT!!

Since I missed the WiiU train, I'm glad to try this game for the first time since NSMB2 on 3DS...
Hoping the game delivers a good amount of challenges... :)
Pre-ordered and preloaded (with yummi 600 gold coins, damnit Ceave Gaming... XD) for day-1 play... :)

This is one of the best 2D platforming packages of all time. I'm probably not double dipping, but anyone who missed it on Wii U should definitely pick it up!
I'll be getting it, but I am pretty disappointed we aren't getting 3D World this Friday instead.
They're new, but based off the same world map and course gimmicks. Shorter and more speed-focused.
That is what is holding me back. I think it is absurd that they take a orevious gen game, only do some monor things to it and then charge $60 for it. This should of been $29.99 or $29.99 at most.
It's perfectly playable solo, and if you're into platforming at all that's probably the best way to play. There's fun to be had in the chaos that is multiplayer but it's just that, wild and random and probably best not to take it seriously.
I'm on the same boat, ever since the wa wa or bop bops I've been hating the Mario music.
I had this game preordered on Amazon but I just canceled the order because I'm still busy with SSBU, also I have BFV ready to play and a lot of series and books to catch up, I will got it eventually later this year, but first I would like to play the Yoshi game.
I'm honestly just a bit disappointed that you can't play the game in multiplayer with four "normal" characters. Toadette is close enough (since you can just avoid Super Crowns and only pick up normal power-ups) but it's really a shame they didn't just bring back Blue Toad. Would've made everything way more simple.
Still, this is one of my favourite 2D Mario games (only behind World and 3; maybe Maker if that counts) and i'm excited to play through it again.

Tens of hours put into this game on WiiU, I'm ready to do it all over again. Having it in my bag or jacket pocket is a game changer for me. One of my favorite sidescrollers too, so $60 is justified for me personally. Those that aren't double dipping though, I totally get it.
NES Controller support!!!! I know what I'll be getting to 100% with now. Pretty hype about this release. My kids can't wait either.
Are we allowed to post OTs earlier than a day before release now? You did a bang up job on it, by the way.

It really depends on what you value. There's a strong argument to be made for this game having the best level design of the 2D series, but the presentation is weak in my opinion. I ultimately found this game rather unengaging.
It is going to be interesting to see how this reviews.
Would bet money on it coming this winter if we don't get Odyssey 2 or Galaxy 3.
I'm not ashamed of it at all. I can afford to do it since I never beat it on wii u.

OP
Up to 72 hours before, according to the OT OT. I was ready to post it exactly then, before I accidentally deleted the draft I had saved.
And thanks man.
great OP! it'll be my first time playing the game. there's nothing quite like a 2D mario platformer, and the last one i played was nsmbwii with my brother, so i'm very excited to play this.
Since I never owned a Wii U and this is the second Wii U port that I was hoping for, im looking forward to picking it up and playing it on Friday. The first port was DKC TF. Hoping for SM3DW at some point and I'll be a happy camper.
Brutally honest review... and one that leaves me feeling more conflicted. I love 3D Mario, but have always preferred 2D Sonic.
On one hand, it's a good game and I'm itching to play something on my Switch. On the other, it does look painfully bland.
I'm also mulling over buying and playing Bayonetta for the first time.
You do realize the Wii U version has been out for 6 years now without an official price drop in the US, yes? (And no, buying used from GameStop/eBay/the yard sale down the street doesn't count as an official price drop)
Rather than lower the price, Nintendo bundled the game, kept the $60 price point and de-listed the non-Luigi U version.
It's a "new" Mario game on Switch. You'll die of old age before there's an official price drop.
There is no reason for Nintendo to release this for less than $60, when the Wii U version is STILL $60.
I'm still conflicted. Movement, controls and level design are on point. Among the best the series has seen yet!
Music and art direction are very bad. World map design is uninspired and it's secrets are a joke compared to SMW and even 3.
Even playable characters are a letdown (to me).
And the stuff that got added for the switch version doesn't really justify the price tag for me.
BUT Mario and Luigi don't use the wrist straps of the Joycons in the renders. Shows how far we have come since the Wii.

Excellent review and one I am going to totally agree with based on the original game, the price , new content and new control issues and just complete lack of polish.
A complete lack of effort was put into this one.
It's a great game, I hope newcomers will enjoy it. But that price is silly high, so no double-dip for me
Guess I'm not buying it then. I don't buy things that aren't worth it to me. It's certainly not "new" by any stretch of the definition since I've already purchased it at full price and played it many years ago.
Yes, they are. Giant platforms everywhere and wide areas. That's one of the things that turns me off in this game and series.
