Anybody else excited for Super Mario Bros. Wonder? I think the animations look really slick and it’s awesome to see 2d mario that doesn’t look and play like a game that came out for the Nintendo DS in 2006.

      I think you spoke on the most important point. New Super Mario Bros lasted its tenure for far too long, basically killing the entire 2D Mario franchise. This breath of fresh air will continue to inspire future generations of developers to continue to care about 2D Mario. Feels good, considering my entire childhood was spent playing 2D platformers on Nintendo consoles.

    “Hey, we already got that whole eating mushrooms thing going, what if Mario was actually literally tripping fucking BALLS in our next game?”
    “Nah man, we can’t market that to children…”
    “We’re just gonna call it ‘wonder seeds’ or some shit, idk” “SOLD!”

    For real though, any excuse for the teams at Nintendo to unleash their whole creativity is a plus in my book.
    I’m not preordering out of principle, but the game looks great!

      Yeah I definitely don’t pre order games anymore. But I’ll be picking this one up on release for sure.

    The idea of a purely contextual power up is a fun idea, and “wonder” is a good term for what’s been missing from recent 2D Mario games.
