Topic: New Super Mario Bros Wii

Should this game be re-released on Switch?

I always found it a bit too hard but I've recently wanted to re-play it to have another go.

@AndroidiOS I think New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe is all we're going to get on the Switch. And Super Mario Bros Wonder is the newest iteration of that Mario 2d genre, which releases later this month.

Since Nintendo has killed off Virtual Console for the switch gen, they definitely aren't porting previous gen games en masse like they used to. I would think New Super Mario Bros Wii would be cheap & easy to port to do, but I'm not going to be shocked if Super Mario Bros Wii isn't ported.

@WoomyNNYes I thought the same thing for "Sonic Colors" to be cheap and easy to port. Sadly, I was wrong. Very wrong.

I would love it to be re-released. I've been wanting to replay it ever since I replayed New smb u earlier this year. What I would like best is a New Super collection with all 3 of those games not yet on Switch, but I would take just the Wii game port. I doubt this will come anytime soon considering all the other Mario coming; conceivably in 2025 for Mario 40th or possibly just as a filler Mario port at some point in the Switch successor lifetime, so it may never appear on Switch itself.

Nintendo has high standards so new games like Wonder arrive whenever they arrive, but ports are always a good lower effort schedule-filler so I assume it will be re-released some day. Personally I'm hoping for all the Mainline mario games on one console someday.

I never could beat NSMB Wii anyway.

@AndroidiOS
I'd love to see it happen. New Super Mario Bros. Wii is still my favorite in the 'New' series.

@HenryKibble I couldn't get past the second (desert) world.

@Gamer83 The DS version is my favourite of the New series but I have it on said handheld already.

I completed U Deluxe last year after seeing my ten year old nephew beat Bowser on the final level.
