Random: Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Box Art Receives A Very Welcome Tweak

Not worth $60 to someone who played it on Wii U, but I'd probably drop $15 on just Fury if it were released as a separate download.

This game should be called bowsers fury + super mario 3D world

I just cannot decide between physical or digital for this one. Any thoughts peoples?

RIP to Cat Luigi on the box art.

I already pre order (and pay) a physical copy. And it only cost me 120 USD! (god bless those import taxes)

I look forward to + Bowser's Fury being applied in ****posts in the same vain as New Funky Mode and Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry™ series

@Darthroseman And Cat Toad.

Torn on this one. Got the OG bundled with my Wii U. would love to replay, and Fury looks awesome, but 60 dollars is kind of a lot of money to double dip on. more than half a hundred, in fact

The PAL version looks better in my opinion.

@presenttense It would look good on a shelf if that’s how you display your collection - personally though, I’m 100% digital on switch.

I prefer the one on the left. It looks less noisy. Too much going on with the other cover.

@presenttense

1. how soon do you want to play it (super soon = physical because the resale is high. Later = digital, especially if youll replay it over the years)

Bowser's fury seems like a hour long level which isn't worth more than £5 to me since I own the Wii U version. I won't get to play it, and that's ok

@presenttense I always buy mario games physical just because it's something tangible and every consoles best games always include the mainline mario of the console. It is kind of a tradition for me. But this game is really good for parties enjoy it either way

@Rhaoulos I would say based on the gate things it is ten or so small open world levels. But yeah why buy the game if you own the original it just doesn't make sense unless bowser's fury is ten hours longer or more. I sold my wii u so I'm super excited to revisit it but I'd never but it if I had my wii u

This is my all-time favorite game. Best local co-op experience. Will likely purchase again. I was picturing Bowser’s Fury as an add-on bonus level. Sounds like it might be a little more than that?

@Christofu buy pikmin 3 instead if you haven't played that.

@TheBigK new 364ds series x 3d portable and knuckles plus bowser's fury featuring dante from the devil may cry series fes golden royal

Pre ordered of course. Never played it so it's a win win

@nukatha speak for yourself! I 100% it on Wii U and I can’t wait to buy it day 1 and do it all over again!

@Anti-Matter, the boxart is the same worldwide (as pointed out in the article). The US box is the older design (before the new trailer dropped), shown for comparison's sake.

I've noticed that some people think the running speed for the characters has been increased. Have we gotten any official word on this or is it just speculation based on the trailers?

I get that there’s loads of people that didn’t own a Wii u but have a switch and haven’t played this, but for those of us double dipping the price is hard to swallow...

@presenttense
Physical is always better and you get a free case for the game

@nukatha I agree. If they would release the extra stuff as an eShop extra I might be tempted, but I just played the game on the Wii U a few days ago. It isn't worth $60 for a "Short Adventure".

Pre ordered my copy and received an email from Nintendo today saying the order has been upgraded and I’m now getting a steel box copy. Good stuff.

@Ghostchip Lol another port of a game I've played that's tempting to get for the bonus content

@Darthroseman @SpiderSquid
They had to go to make room for Mario 4 times on the box (3 figures, 1 text)... wait, this just in, mufon has found “spine” and “back cover” Marios eek!!

New box art is much better, I’ll be adding it to my collection on launch. I already own it on Wii U but playing it online with friends will be a treat.

Still not fond of the title though, specifically the “+”. It just looks and sounds awkward.

I prefer the old box art. The new one looks too cluttered.

@Obitokamui64 No they confirmed that Mario and pals run faster. I forget where; I think the initial reveal.

@EngineerMario
Thank you! That is a good point 😀

@pixelpatch
I very rarely sell games on to be honest so digital is probably the way I am going!

@everynowandben
Thank you as well for your thoughts - I am still undecided 😂

I remember playing this game when we got the WiiU, unfortunately our family’s WiiU didn’t even past two weeks so I’m definitely getting this game

@Vindignant @Obitokamui64 It was confirmed on the Japanese Nintendo site here: https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/article/ca5a68e7-cefb-4085-8ef8-869ad2068bd7

It's Japanese text obviously but it says it has faster speed and wall climbing, longer long jumps and improved control. You can run it through Google translate.

Wow, there's people here who actually bought a Wii-U. Jokes aside, I think this more meant for the Switch folks that did not own the Wii-U. And maybe for some Wii-U owners to revisit on Switch with new content.

@presenttense For some reason Physical is 20$ more than Digital so....

@Obitokamui64 No official word, but based on the trailers and running side-by-side with the original, it seems undeniable.

@Calamity244 It is official, Nintendo confirmed it here: https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/article/ca5a68e7-cefb-4085-8ef8-869ad2068bd7 (You have to translate it!)

@Clyde_Radcliffe
Thanks for the info! Trying to justify the inevitable purchase.

@Clyde_Radcliffe Oh, huh, thanks!

I don’t preorder games. Only absolute mugs do that! I’ll wait and find out how big bowsers fury is before deciding

@nukatha I would say this is worth full price more than New Super Mario World Deluxe.

Wow, looks way better now! Love it.

For those saying the game is not worth 60, I hope you said the same with the DK:TF, except for the fact that that one didn't add anything at all (just the portability and... an easier mode) and it cost even more expensive than on WiiU...
This one, however, cost the same and you have online multiplayer, portability, and a whole new game added to it.

Probably will pre-order physical. Or at least buy physical at a best buy - trying to give my business to brick & mortar stores.

@nukatha And you don't think a remaster is worth $45?

@nukatha Speak for yourself. I played it a ton on Wii U and it's more than worth it to me. Just the fact that they've increased the default speed of the game play in 3D World is itself a reason for me to buy it.

@Dman10 Yup, there were about 14 million of us who know good games when we see them and don't care if the system they're on is "uncool."

I will pay 60 bucks for this than pay 50 bucks for a 3 hour stand alone demo that is Spider man Miles Morales on Ps5. with Bowsers fury you get Mario 3d world as well. sorry Sony trolls you lose. this is worth double dipping for me.

Got digital and a copy from Amazon

Toad seems to be a darker shade of blue now

@Orpheus79V I think that is just because the right image is based in the CMYK version for printing. The left blue (rgb) would not be able to be printed on a normal cover.

You can also see that on all the greens in the picture.

Pre ordered from Nintendo store. The steel book will looks nice in my collection.

@LilMuku
I absolutely think SM3DW is worth that. Had I not played it over 5 years ago, I'd certainly bite. But I already have it.

@Blooper987
You do you!

@MysteryCupofJoe
The package is certainly worth it to a Switch owner who never played it.
It likely is not for a Wii U owner who played it 5+ years ago.

That's an Incineroar

@the_beaver DKTF costing more on Switch than the Wii U is the biggest pisstake pricing wise there is on the Switch. They thankfully didn’t take the opportunity to crank up the price on CTTT which was another game that was sub $60 on Wii U

The only Wii U port that is worth it. (to me)

First of all, I already love SM3DW so that makes it already worth it. They Made adjustments to the running speed and the graphics look better. Playing online with friends will be fun. Bowser's Fury looks really cool even if it isn't that long it seems to be pretty fun. And Snapshot Mode from Odyssey I'm going to have so much fun Making pictures in here.

What does NSMBUD have? Toadette/Peachette That's it.

Why did Blue Toad turn into Purple Toad?

I'm waiting to see what the new content is like. But I probably won't rebuy the game for the Switch.

And gone with Cat Luigi because who is that guy again?

@Odyssey27_Mario And Toadette/Peachette is one of the worst things Nintendo has done this gen.

I wish they'd fix the background. The grey polka dots on the white background is quite unsightly
