This ports needs to let us play as our Miis in Story Mode to make this a double-dip for me.
That box art is almost enough for a double dip.
I love ports over from other systems, but i just wish Nintendo (and other companies of course) remake some of the other classics from much older systems to this one and/or the 3DS, they did such an awesome job on Metroid: Samus Returns, Super Metroid has been demanded for decades, give the people what they REALLY want (preferably on cartridge), this includes Super Mario RPG and Super Mario All Stars + Super Mario World, all with upgraded ,content, graphics and gameplay systems !!!
With the upcoming M4, I'm 120% positive a remake of the Prime Trilogy using the M4 game and graphics engine would fly off shelves
I am SO excited for this, as I never bought a Wii U.
@theriku260 It's the best in the series.
The box art looks like a budget game. To me anyway, it's the pale yellow.
I never owned a Wii U so I can't wait to play this game! I loved New Super Mario Bros. on the DS and I had a lot of fun with New Super Mario Bros. for the Wii, I just hope it doesn't force us to play using single joy cons like Pokémon Let's Go or Mario Party, I can understand the restriction for Mario Party and to a lesser extent Let's Go but I don't want to have to constantly change my controller every time I launch a different game.
Can't wait to get this, pre-ordered at GameStop today!
It’s just too Xxpen5ive for a port... especially after Super MARIO Odessy... I’m happy to pay £30-£40 for decent updates/ports but this kinda looks reductive... next to DK Tropical Freeze which was an excellent port I happily paid £30 for and enjoyed immensely!
A great Mario 2D platformer the levels are amazing and sometimes difficult for me (but i use nabbit XD)
@Nemodius
This comment is pretty ironic now
I gave this game a 7/10. Not many improvements from the original game sans free DLC and the addition of Toadette and Nabbit as playable characters. I woulda given it an 8 but:
1. It's yet ANOTHER Wii U port.
2. They made Blue Toad essentially hidden.
Funny that they put their failed games on Switch lol. I'm also biased, though, cuz the Wii U was my first console.
