I didn't realize how much people really like NSMB. I hope that Nintendo brings out Super Mario 3D World because that has been my favorite Mario game in years. Even over Odyssey.

It will be, but for me at least, I'd rather see NSMBU. It's more focused and fun imo. Mario Maker ended up just being a bunch of shitty user levels that more often than not were either poorly designed or designed in a way to make me stand there while the level occurred around me instead of actually playing. Both games have their plusses and minuses, but my personal favorite is NSMBU, especially with Luigi's expansion. All the extra challenge modes outside of the single player campaign were fun too.
YES!
Odyssey is great, but there are too many Moons so when you get one for literally doing nothing its just sorta...blah.
3D World was great. I really hope that's the next one ported.
They want to keep Odyssey as a ever green the next 3D Mario is going to be a sequel to Odyssey.
I did. I assumed everything is a rumor and we don't know what's getting added/not added.
Tropical Freeze with no DKCR sucked, so I'm tempering expectations.
Luigi was DLC to NSMU.
DKCR was the first game and DKTF was the second.
I don't see how one relates to the other.
Nah, it's so happening. If Captain Toad and NSMBU are on the Switch then 3D World will be. They're also different enough to not cannibalize each other so I don't see the problem.
Xenoblade X : Monolith Soft has said they really want to port the game on the Switch.
The Wonderful 101 : Kamiya kept saying since Bayo 1 & 2 were released on Switch that he really wants Wonderful to be on Switch. He asked fans on twitter and during conferences if they would like a port. It looked like he was in the process to convince Nintendo, and he seemed happy with the answers he got from fans. We haven't heard of Wonderful from him since two months or something. I guess Nintendo and PlatinumGames are currently working on the port.
Luigi was also released as a stand alone physical title if I'm not mistaken. That's the comparison I was trying to make.
Id believe it. I'd rather have 3D World but makes sense to rerelease that. They always sell millions more than the 3D games.
Definitely the best NSMB game.

I really liked NSMBU.
I need a Peach campaign if I'm going to bite at $60 though.
Actually, I don't know if there's anything that could make me buy this. We're a year and a half into the Switch, we should be getting a new 2D Mario and not an old one. Where's the ambassador program for Wii U owners?

I would be DX. like Mario Kart DX or maybe DE like Hyrule warriors.
It really doesn't make sense to me, they pushed this game so hard when the Wiiu launched. I sort of blame this game for some of the Wiiu's failure. There was no shortage of 2d Mario at that point and it was the big first party game. We had endless debates back in the day about whether it was smart to launch with a new 2d mario and in hindsight I think it's clear it was a mistake. Also why wouldn't they just make a new 2d mario game? It can't take that long to make these games, they were pumping out the New series pretty fast for awhile.
I would much prefer a port of 3D World as it is my favorite Mario game (dat art style).
I'll get this if they add Peach as a playable character, will get it at $60 if they add more than one playable character and add new content. Not sure why NSMB is such a sausage-fest.

NSMBU is definitely the strongest of the 'New' games, but I'd agree that 3D World is the Mario game they should be porting if any.
I'm sure they'll do both. The question for me is when are either of the Zelda remasters coming!
Ahh yes, both make sense as they would get a broader audience on Switch.
I think they really should have brought at least 1 of the 2 HD Zelda's over this year as well (TP or WW) either would have been a great October/early November release.
Because Switch needs a 2D Mario right now, not a 3D Mario when Odyssey is selling like crazy.
3D World will come, don't worry.
Most WiiU owners are hardcore Nintendo fans. Most of them also own a Switch by now and are totally fine with all these ports. Even I bought Mariokart 8 again.
:( Nintendo fans are Nuts...
Mario Kart was my most played game on wiiu by far but without new tracks there's zero reason for me to return to that game. I played an ungodly amount of the online with my roommate at the time. A fantastic game I still own on wiiu and don't need to pay $60 for a second time.
I really can't believe there wasn't another round of DLC for the Switch version of Mario Kart.
Yeah, the map is great. I also love the aesthetic of the Acorn Plains with the striped hills, SMW-style diagonal mountains, the acorn tree, etc.
- Re-used generic assets?
- NSMBU having world themes is superior to SMW not having world themes.
- This boxed-in point makes no sense. The worlds of SMW are equally separate from each other, with every other world taking place on a subscreen.
- NSMBU has 12 hidden exits and they're all better hidden.
- What? The world transforms to open new paths just like SMW. https://youtu.be/cyS43aTwHeY
Nah, charm/soul arguments are straight up nonsense.
It's not really fair to compare to Donkey Kong because that difference in style has always existed. 2D Mario has always had that clean look that clearly differentiates the foreground and background and NSMBU made that look as detailed as it could without betraying it. 2D Mario should look like 2D Mario.
This by the numbers comment doesn't really make sense. They use the world themes in every game, sure, but SMB1, SMB2, and SMW just used the basic stage-type themes, and the NSMB games have more themes than SMB3 had. On top of that, they've consistently found new ideas within those themes and come up with new combinations of themes. They have more content, presentation, and tuning. NSMBU even had the fun twist of Mario getting tossed away instead of Peach being taken away and having Peach Castle be the endgame. The minigames in NSMB DS were great, but they were from Mario 64 DS. NSMBU's challenge mode is a great addition.
No, the NSMB games have done a great job making Bowser Jr likeable.
He wasn't that fun to fight in NSMB DS, but him resurrecting his dad after Mario brutally murdered him was nice
All of his boss battles in NSMBWii and NSMBU were highlights. Making his gimmick the Junior Clown Car was a brilliant idea. He's basically Dr. Robotnik.

I hate this kind of mindset. In the classic days we got 4 games in 5 years, then 16 years of nothing. The 4 NSMB games came out across 6 years. When NSMB2 and NSMBU came out the last game was 3 years prior. And now it's been a 6 year drought. We haven't exactly been swimming in 2D Mario and there's always room for more.
One mistake they definitely made, though, was showing NSMBU in beta form where they were using NSMBWii graphics as a placeholder. It led to people using images from the beta to prove it was just a rehash.
Beta:
Final:
There were articles around release using beta images to criticize the game.

6 years is enough for a new game then! Launching the Wiiu with a new 2d mario when there is another new 2d mario coming out on a more popular platform, the same year was a bad decision!
agreed - I'm one of those people who doesn't care for NSMB art/music, but this game was a blast
NSMB Luigi was rough, though!
The fact is DKC is already well over a million shipped, so is Kirby, in fact Kirby probably is going to be the best selling in the series since like 1992 or something.
Those games have both done very well. NSMBU will do better, c'mon lets be real. It's Mario, it's holidays, it's on a red hot platform.
I can already imagine the marketing campaign
A family playing 4 players co op in front of the TV on the couch.
Guy playing in handheld mode, friend comes in the room and interrupts says hey what are you playing. Guy puts the system down in table top mode and passes a JoyCon to his friend and they continue to play 2 player co op.
This shits going to sell like crazy.

Real talk: It blew my mind that Nintendo actually depicted Bowser dying like that. Literally swimming in lava, screaming for his life as his skin melts off. Fighting "Dry Bowser" at the end was such a good payoff too.
Dry Bowser would make a good echo in Smash. Give him Simon's neutral B as his forward B, make it a bone instead of an axe.
I think for many what didn't help was this:
And gameplay wise they were all four pretty much identical as well. The original four games did not only look distinctly different from one another, but they also played very distinct from one another.
Some time in 2017 Emily Rogers said according to a source a Mario Maker port was being considered for Switch but that it was somewhat up in the air because according to the source NCL wants to migrate all of the existing user created levels over which supposedly was proving to be problematic.
I've heard this argument many times, I'm still not seeing it.
I'm not saying this will bomb or anything, but it's a port of the fourth game using the exact same formula as the previous three (and bland graphical style).
I mean, this is not going to drive customers to buy Switches, it's nice to have, but not much more.
They also need to adapt the control scheme for joysticks, which is not trivial.
I'm honestly not expecting 10 million from this or Pokemon.
I really would like to play Xenoblade X on Switch. The system deserves better than Waifublade.
