Topic: New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe

@Mountain_Man although there were a lot of bad levels. There were some levels even greater than Nintendo’s. You can bookmark your favourite levels.

Well, I never got the Luigi DLC, so I'll probably be picking this up when it goes on sale. It's definitely been long enough that I'd be interested in picking up the NSMB series again, despite popular opinion of it.

@Mountain_Man Yes, there is trash to wade through (no creator games isn't immune to this)but simply put, you're heavily underestimating the Mario Maker community.

I really want to see a new entry in the series with Peach and Daisy playable. There are no more excuses. Super Mario Run managed to implement them both without problems. Not being able to program and implement her dress was a lame cop-out excuse especially since she was playable in Smash Bros games since Melee. Nintendo better get off their high horse and listen to their fans.

Digging through mountains of rubbish to find an occasional gem was largely a waste of time. I'd much rather play a proper Nintendo-made Mario game with one top-quality level after another from beginning to end.

And ironically, the video you posted is exactly the kind of trash I'm talking about. Mario Maker seemed to give wannabe game designers the idea that it was their job to defeat rather than entertain the player, and they prided themselves on creating "unbeatable" levels that required multiple attempts, rote memorization, and demanding precision where the smallest mistake meant certain death. Sorry, but I don't enjoy that sort of thing.

Don't forget that some players are entertained with that kind of level design.

After those much hyped up over nothing rumors of GameCube VC and Mother 3 coming to Switch right before Switch launched it’s best to be skeptical.

@Cobalt I thought all players wanted the ultimate challenges after beating a mario or Donkey Kong game. Maybe only me but I loved the ultimate challenges from galaxy 2, 3d land, 3d world tropical freeze except oddysse that was just easy

@Mountain_Man while I wouldn't call it trash, that video wasn't the best advertisement for Mario maker imo. Sure it looked great as a perfect run but imagining the amount of trial and error it took to get there doesn't seem like much fun to me either. I can appreciate the work that went into it though. Like you I would rather have nintendo crafted levels but I do hope a form of Mario Maker does end up on the switch cause I'm sure my kids would have a ball with it.

@redd214 Oh, there's definitely a market for Mario Maker, and the Switch would be the perfect platform for it. I'm just responding to people who say that Mario Maker renders any future 2D Mario titles redundant or obsolete. It absolutely does not.

@1UP_MARIO

The problem is simple. Today, a majority of the players wanna feel that they are strong, so the developers push the difficulty cursor down.
If you get hit and you're on the edge of dying, no problemo, just hide behind that wall over there, your health will be full in 3 seconds... :/

So, thinking that all players would like an ultimate challenge is crazy... ^^

Look what they did with Tropical Freeze on the Switch for example. You can use Funky Kong to make the game easier. Basically, what makes the game so good is purely devalued... It's like perseverance has to be killed...

@Mountain_Man that I can agree with for sure!

Does this game have any Wii U specific controls that will have to be adapted to the Switch? I want to avoid a odd control mapping like what happened to Captain Toad Treasure Tracker. Not a fan of the blue blinking dot and I don’t want to go through that again.

I’d much prefer a New Super Mario Bros Switch. They don’t even have to change anything, just give us more levels.

@Dreamliner They Boost Mode required the touch screen. With it you could spawn platforms, other players could land on them and build a meter for a free invincibility and the game, while in this mode only, would spawn hard to reach Moon blocks for extra 1 ups that only the Gamepad player could see.

Same here. Making a new game is better. There are new possibilities with a new game. We can have a new plot that isn't Peach being kidnapped which is getting old and tiring at this point. Instead, the Sprixie Princesses from 3D World will reprise their role in place of Peach. Peach should be a playable character along with Daisy. That would shake things up and give it a nice breath of fresh air. Super Mario Run implemented them. It should be a straightforward process since they've done it in Super Mario Run.

@Knuckles-Fajita Does that affect single player at all?

Amen to that. Why is it so hard for people to accept that both 2D Mario games serve different (though overlapping) needs and player bases? Isn't the fact that around 50% of people in this topic find the NSMB-games at least mildly interesting, enough to accept that it's still appreciated? Why all the hate?

Been rumoured for a while and seems such a blindingly obvious thing to do I’d be surprised if it didn’t happen. 2D Mario is a big miss from the Switch library. Getting it out before any Mario Maker sequel makes sense too.

I mean if they're still waiting to put Mario Maker on it (and the huge Mario Odyssey DLC is not happening it seems), this does make a lot of sense.

But I do hope it's just a port. We never need to go back to that era of Mario. Where they released three NSMB games in the span of one year. In the middle of the two 3D games that were also trying to be more like 2D Mario. Which meant five mainline Mario platformers in...two years. Like this would suck even if NSMB weren't the least interesting Mario platformers ever made.

The only NSMB I haven't played is NSMB2 so if that was remade in HD I would be all over it.
Would be nice if the first one and the Wii game were on there in HD as well.

I already have NSBMU+Luigi on Wii U, so if that gets re-released its an easy skip. The other three DS/Wii/2 deserve a re-release more, because it would be their first time in shiny HD graphics. Obviously older games with new graphics are more exciting than a simple last-gen port that won't have many changes. Especially, since it's another Wii U game with features like the 5 player mode that wouldn't work on Switch with just one console. Will they cut this feature? Or will they make Download Play available for this mode to work at least with 2 Switch
systems?

My 2D Mario priority list for Switch (I would buy 1-5, skip 6):
1. a brand new 2D Mario game that isn't based on NSMB
2. "Super Mario Maker 2"
3. a new NSMB game, could be called "New Super Mario Bros. Switch" or "New Super Mario Bros. 3"
4. "New Super Mario All-Stars" (includes all 5 NSMB games in HD)
5. a HD remake of the first three NSMB games (preferably NSMB2 or a collection)
6. last and least, a port of NSMBU+Luigi
