Rumor: New Super Mario Bros. U is headed to Nintendo Switch, possibly this year.

[Phendrift]

If you've been paying attention to Nintendo rumors, you'll know that this has been rumored since around January even on ERA from multiple reliable sources.

But now, Liam Robertson has finally made an article about it so I thought it was time for a thread

https://comicbook.com/gaming/2018/08/16/new-super-mario-bros-nintendo-switch/

Sources connected to Nintendo of Europe, who have provided accurate information in the past on games like Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, began to suggest that a port of NSMBU was in the works. Throughout the year, we have been following up on these rumours with other tipsters linked with Nintendo who have corroborated these suggestions.

Multiple tips we have received for this article indicate that the supposed reissue of New Super Mario Bros. U will include the New Super Luigi U add-on.

Some sources suggest that the rumored Switch release will include new content of some description, although exact details on this appear to be tightly under wraps.

We have also intercepted a potential name being floated for the New Super Mario Bros. U port - 'New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe'.

[BasilZero]

Yes please !!!

I don't want to pay 60 bucks for the WiiU version

 

[Aaron]

I'd be ok with this. Seems like an easy release to slide in between Smash and Pokemon.

 

[Kinsei]

I know epeople hate the NSMB aesthetic, but U (especially with the expansion included) is a truly fantastic game. I hope people are willing to give it a chance.

 

[Dark Cloud]

I get it's easy money. I would've thought Nintendo would've made a new 2D Mario though. I hope they add online at least.

 

[Wowfunhappy]

My favorite 2D Mario game, by quite a bit. Nice to see it getting a port.

I don't think I'll be double dipping on this one though. Unless there's a very substantial number of new levels, which I doubt.

 

[Skittzo]

Maybe the new content might include an art style toggle, like Mario Maker had.

 

[Lelouch0612]

Yeah I think it is almost a lock. A good addition to the Q4 line-up.

Wonder how substantial the additionnal content will be (new characters, levels , challenges ?)

 

[Toumari]

Hopefully it's not $60 as then I'll consider picking it up.

 

[Comic Obsessed]

Ah, dammit! I don't even understand the point of this. They should have released it early on 2017 if they wanted to fill the gaps, it just doesn't make sense to release a WiiU launch title in 2018.

 

[peppermints]

Awesome, never got around to it on Wii U.

It's also the Polygon Official Best Mario Game.

 

[FiXalaS]

SMBU with the Luigi expansion is awesome stuff, one of the best 2d mario games

 

[bdwnfn99]

Posted in the EAD/First party thread, but I would love to see an online, Mario-styled version of Speedrunners in the Mushroom Kingdom

 

[ITSMILNER]

Loved this game, best 2D Mario since World!

 

[OnionPowder]

Hopefully it's not $60.

lol

You better bah-lieve it will be

 

[iag]

I'd rather see a new - and with different aesthetics - game than a port, even if NSMBU is a very good game.

 

[RM8]

I am in the mood for some 2D Mario, so I'll take it!

 

[memoryman3]

Can Daisy please be playable in this?

2D Mario sells to the mainstream, the mainstream buys mostly during the Holidays (and last year they already had Super Mario Odyssey).

 

[Deleted member 176]

As a longtime hater I would be down if it was a reduced price and wasn't on the Wii U hardware.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Maybe the new content might include an art style toggle, like Mario Maker had.

Click to shrink...

Yes yes. That's what I said in the other topic months ago. Remember The Dragon Trap game has a toggle to Switch between old school aesthetics and new school aesthetics? Also, like you said Mario Maker has it for the 2D Mario games.

If Nintendo is smart at least add that in to NSMBU Deluxe, since many people don't like the same art style for the 4th time.

 

[Servbot24]

One step closer to being able to sell my Wii U. 3D World and Pikmin 3 next please! But for a reasonable price this time.

 

[wiiucollector]

Was really hoping for a New Super Mario All-Stars compilation, which would have been awesome quite frankly.

 

[Richietto]

I literally cannot look at that game again. Great game but fuck that artstyle. Don't want to see it. Plus they'll probably sell it for $60.

 

[reminiscingLemon]

Gross no thanks, I know U has its fan but personally I found it to be incredibly generic.

Its the SoDoSoPa of Mario Bros.

 

[PMS341]

Can Daisy please be playable in this?

Click to shrink...

She has a model from Mario Run, so it could be possible!

 

[Zalman]

This will sell millions. A 2018 release would be huge.

 

[Skel]

Hopefully it's not $60.

It's not. 59.99$.

Too late.

 

[Mariolee]

Very confused as to why these ganes haven't been announced yet

 

[Pila]

Yes please !!!

It's on Nintendo Selects, 25 €. EDIT: only in Europe, sorry about that.

I bought this game dayone and it's already HD and everything. Hard pass.

 

[gardfish]

Hopefully it's not $60.

It's going to be $60, might as well accept it now. Tropical Freeze sold well for $60 when it's $20 on the Wii U, they're not going to pass up on the extra profit now that they know they can get away with it.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Ah, dammit! I don't even understand the point of this. They should have released it early on 2017 if they wanted to fill the gaps, it just doesn't make sense to release a WiiU launch title in 2018.

How the hell can they release it in early 2017 if it wasn't ready? They may have wanted it for the holidays for all the casuals. It's a guarantee 10+ million seller.

 

[CopperPuppy]

I'd be in for this.

 

[Deleted member 36578]

I'd buy it. I like the U games a lot despite not being a fan of the art style.

 

[K Samedi]

Hope it comes out this year. I still like 2D Mario a lot more than 3D Mario and the Wii U version was the best edition of the New series.

 

[Bonejack]

I don't understand why they wouldn't just port Mario Maker and have the NSMB U levels as the pre-made playable content.

Think i skip this, played it enough on Wii U.

 

[Kouriozan]

Would make senses I guess, most Nintendo fans already played it so it would go for the casual this time.

Mario Maker would have been 100x better though, ah maybe a sequel next year.

 

[OnanieBomb]

Reset the clock

 

[cw_sasuke]

Good product but awful name if true.

 

[SmittyWerbenManJensen]

Good game and level design, but the absolutely awful music will probably prevent me from playing this again. Also, the annoying "bah" noises. Cannot believe they thought that'd be a good idea

 

[Dark Cloud]

Click to shrink...

It should be $60.

 

[Zelas]

If true, they should bundle this game instead of Aces.

 

[Dee Bill]

One of the best 2d Mario's !!!

I have no problem buying it again on Switch.

 

[Deleted member 3017]

This will be the first Wii U re-release that's going to bug me. I'm ready for a new 2D Mario game. It's been six years.

 

[srtrestre]

Game will sell millions on the Switch easily.

 

[WhoaIsThatMars]

man, I really fucking hate that game lol

 

[Deleted member 2802]
