Poll: So, Will You Be Getting Super Mario Bros. Wonder?

Got it this morning!
Will be playing it with the Family tonight, in between quick plays of Blasphemous 2 for myself.

I had mine preordered but because of financial, adult, in-my-thirtiessss…. Stuff… I had to cancel it this morning before I got charged a hefty 60.

I’ll be buying this and MGS when I get paid next week!

Waiting for my copy to arrive
(same with Spider-Man 2)

Purolator has already shipped mine. 😍😁😄

Whenever i find a job ill definitely get it.

I already bought Spider-Man 2, so I’ll have to wait awhile before I spend more on games. Probably will snag Wonder and Mario RPG at the same time using game vouchers.

Yup, have my copy preordered at Best Buy. Now to wait for my copy to get here.

In the process of buying. Enjoying lunch at the shopping centre and will then head over to buy it shortly.

Yes, a physical copy. Downloaded games cost more and it's nice to still own while we can.

Spider-Man is gonna have my attention for a while, but Wonder looks fun enough that I'll prob pick it up soon after that.

I'm not personally. I did however complete my first Mario mainline game? Is there such a thing? Anyways, Super Mario Odyssey.

So, I will look forward to whatever comes next in that series? Sorry, Mario fans. I'm not familiar with how to differentiate each games.

@blindsquarel oh that's a good idea! Lemme cancel my pre-order and do this instead.

I'm just waiting for it to arrive today. Hopefully it will have arrived by the time I'm home!

@mariomaster96 same here re both games. Now just need to find time to play them

Not until next month for my birthday, I'm afraid. Something came up in the budget and I...had to cancel my Amazon preorder.

@ChromaticDracula might wanna cancel mgs too cause so far it looks like it’s gonna be pretty bad on switch. 30 fps on 2 & 3 which were originally 60 with frame drops and really bad loading times

There was a 10pm release at my local Gamestop, but I worked all day and was tired. Will pick it up tomorrow.

I ordered physical via Amazon. Got 40% off with credit card rewards. Should come Monday or Tuesday (I don’t have Prime and refuse to pay for shipping).

As per the poll, almost 75% here reported ordering physical. Stark contrast to 72% of digital game purchase market share in 2022 (though may be for all platforms - but still 🤷‍♂️).

I preordered, but its going to my house and I'm currently still at my mum's house sitting. Couple more days of playing Superstars til I get home and probably switch to Mario. Excited to try it!

I got 2 week christmas vacation this year so I'm buying it the day before my first day off. Cheers.

Will get it eventually, but not right away (money issue)

Got it digital. I am done with physical on switch unless the price is cheaper. The Nintendo online deals have been very kind to me with the double pass deal.

not saying this just because I've seen people praising it. Since the first real trailer, there was something about this that gave me Mario World/Yoshi's Story vibes in the sense that a lot of thought seems to have gone into this one. So I honestly want to check it out.

My friend's getting it so I get to play it through his copy.

Got this and SPIDER-MAN 2 to pick up tomorrow and then going dark until ARKHAM TRILOGY drops on Dec. 1st. My wallet hates me.

Day one!

at some point tomorrow when I go out to run errands I shall grab it.

I will consider the game but really really late, maybe 2 - 3 years later as 2D platformer games is very minor priority for me.

Will start playing the game today. I am really in the mood for a Mario game now. It looks like so much fun.

To everyone already playing, have a great time!

I wasn't going to buy it but I had two Nintendo online vouchers that where close to expiring so I nabbed it and Pikmin 4.
It does look good, little worried it'll be too easy though, I like my 2d platformers without mercy for me!
I probably won't play them until next month however as I bought a month of ps plus extra and I'm gonna milk it for all it's worth.

My order arrived yesterday and I’m really enjoying it. It’s a beautiful looking game.

Looks like fun to play with kids. Maybe I will be getting it when my son is a little bit older.
… but now Im not that interested.
And havent finished TOTK yet, and just ordered Pikmin 4 😆

Literally just put it down to go to bed and saw this.

When it was revealed, I admit I was a little indifferent. Tonight I’m so in love with it that I put Spider-Man 2 (a game I’ve been looking towards for forever) on the backburner so I could have more Mario time.

This sites review convinced me to get the game day one, so yeah should be arriving today hopefully.

I just got it today with a late night GameStop launch! It's literally phenomenal. First time a new 2D Mario has felt like a true competitor to Super Mario World.

My first ever game was Super Mario Bros. After experiencing the joy that is gaming it was always remaining this incredible memory. It saddens me to say that with each new 2D iteration after the NES I never had that same level of joy. Although Nintendo is putting back in the effort with Wonder, I can't help but look at all the New Super Marios they steam rolled of the conveyor belt. This one might still be a well polished game, but the shine has faded.

Took advantage of the Currys 25% off offer you shared the other day.

Just hoping and praying that it gets delivered today

Physical is the ONLY way to go because it means, y'know, I actually own it!

Picked up both this game and Spider-Man 2. Going to be a good weekend of gaming. I plant to start SMBW first, been my most-anticipated game for any platform since it was announced and the demo convinced me it will live up to my expectations.

I'm playing it already. It's a hell of a good time.

Initially, I wasn't enthused. It looked like more of the same generic-looking "New SMB" stuff. Then the reviews started coming in and gameplay videos. I still wasn't convinced. Then I played it, and, yeah, it's kind of awesome. I can see what the fuss is all about

Already downloaded, can't wait to try it out later!

@Gamer83 bribing my kids to clean the house w Spiderman 2, lol.

Mario is not my thing, but if there’s a good sale and I get through my backlog then sure.

Had it preloaded last night then fell asleep at 5 to 12 just before it unlocked

@LikelySatan
LMAO! I'd imagine that should work pretty well. I know it would've got me to do stuff when I was a kid.

Just waiting for Currys UK to delivery it this morning. £37.50 can’t complain at that price.

@Gamer83 same, 100 percent.

@Member_the_game
Same here £37.50 I’m up and waiting for it to be delivered 😊

@Member_the_game
Mines DPD delivery 🚚 and already at my local DPD.

It’s on the list next year.

@OldGamer999

Yeah I've had the same message, it's with my local DPD in Liverpool and I should have a 1 hour time slot before 11am

Knew I should have booked the day off work 😂

Already got my physical copy. West coast Canada so they do 'midnight' releases at 9pm!

@Member_the_game
I got the same message.
I got very lucky and I don’t normally do this but I got a work from home today as we only work Friday 8am till 12pm.

Definitely. Not sure if I want it or Sonic Superstars first. Which would be the better to start.

@GinMiguel Mario. I’ve got and played both. Sonic is kinda mid. Nothing on Mania.

Have my copy pre-ordered along with Spider-Man 2 thru Best Buy.
Now I have to wait for them to be delivered.

@OldGamer999

Just had a text from DPD.... it's coming between 13:45 -14:45

That makes me feel better about not booking the day off as I should be home for 2ish anyway

You doing better than me in Liverpool, no text for me yet from good ole Greater London 😂

Dispatched on Wednesday. Hoping it comes today when I’m at work! Cannot wait, Super Mario World and Yoshi’s Island are two of the finest games ever made, and if this is up there with them? Yeah, I can’t wait.

Pre-ordered it from Currys in the UK thanks to a nice wee discount code. Don't know if we'll be playing it straight away, might wait til we've finished Portal 2. Hope everyone enjoys it!

Pre-ordered it over a month ago. After the first trailer dropped, I immediately knew this was going to be a magnificent game. I didn't need anymore convincing.

Having a Nintendo console without Super Mario and Zelda is like having a house without a bed lol.
Of course I'm getting it, just waiting for it to arrive.

@GinMiguel Mario Wonder is a much better game in general, according to the reviews. But if you don't plan to play them with friends, and you're a fan of the Mega Drive Sonic games, you'll also love Sonic Superstars.

I picked up my copy on the way home from work. Very much looking forward to getting into it tonight!
A few people from work didn't realise there was a new Mario game out today & are getting it now too after hearing me blab on about it lol

Pre-order it, waiting now for it to arrive in the mail. Then I'm gonna hand it over to me mom and won't see it until Christmas. Being an adult is fun.

@OldGamer999
Mine just got delivered 8:45am good delivery from Currys UK and for £37.50 🥳

I messed up with Amazon and now the game doesn't arrive until next week.

Physical of course (aside from the collection aspect, it was also cheaper) and I had it preordered for months at this point.

Next year, probably... And, I will buy a physical copy... Also, I'm amazed(in a good sense) at how many people are going for physical. That's good.

@WhiteTrashGuy Really looking forward to Arkham. They had the display box in Asda (UK) a few days ago, tried to buy it but didnt have it in store - worth a try

Mine just got delivered and the DPD delivery man said he had about 50 of them he is delivery today and asked what it was 😂

Waiting hoping it comes in the mail today. I'm ready to play at 16h, hope it's there by then!
Funny to see such a huge gap between physical and digital on this one game.

Looks great, but I'm genuinely enjoying working through my backlog at the moment. Currently having a blast with Pikmin 1, Tears of the Kingdom, Injustice 2 and GTAV. Aiming to get this at some point before Christmas once at least one of the above is finished.

I don't get why people buy digital over physical (£49.99 for digital and £37.99 for physical, no resale value, can't lend to mates etc.) but why is there an option for both!? Who's buying digital and physical?

pre-ordered and impatiently waiting for Royal Mail to hopefully deliver today! 0945 hrs, knock at the door (it's a delivery!!) run down stairs and it turns out, it's only a pair of trainers for the wife..... BO**OCKS!!!!

Buying both Mario and sonic at same time, and it will be a rainy weekend here, so with 4 boys, including myself, we will be putting these games to the true test.

It looks good, but I'm not very into games at the moment, for some reason. It doesn't really appeal to me any more than if it were another New Super Mario Bros game. On the other hand, I do like them, and would want to try it eventually, but just not right now. If it's ever £25 digital I'll probably get it.

Already playing it, and like the majority of gamers, digital of course.

@NinjaNicky Unless you found a rare prelaunch offer, they're usually the same at launch with digital always ending up cheaper down the line. As for resell value... I'm not buying games to sell them. If you are you should find a different hobby. Lending to a friend? It's my game, they can buy their own copy, but for those who break the ToU, digital owners can gameshare and between the two of them they're only paying half the cost of the game upfront making it again, cheaper than what you just paid.

No matter how you slice it, digital is better, cheaper, more convenient, and absolutely no different in ownership than a physical copy.

Would play it, can't currently afford it.
But they've really been pushing the marketing here in the UK! Nice to see a bit of Mario when I'm rushing through the city centre, brightens things up a little

@Vyacheslav333 this is just the NL community who for some reason values archaic formats. The majority of the gaming community favors digital, and rightfully so.

already finished it on ryujinxxxxxx
thanx nintendo

@RobynAlecksys minority of gamers you mean? Surely.

That being said - Digital is the fastest way to play the game on day one (unless the physical pre-order seller has been super kind). But really, we should be looking to save game preservation through physical distribution than be too eager to head into the digital eclipse.

Personally, for me? Physical is always the way to go. You at least retain a copy of said game and not a certified rented license to play a game (which is always in danger of being revoked or lost).

Digital has its uses of course and can be cheaper in some instances, but on release day it's usually priced higher than retailers due to the RRP being kept. It's almost always more expensive. But when it comes to sales on Digital games however... that's another matter...

It looks much better than I thought it would be when first announced but I can't get past the fact that it's another 2d Mario platformer.

I'm in no hurry and will probably wait for it to go on sale in a year or so.

Got it at 10am, it's beautiful!

Already have mine downloaded and ready to play!

1055 hrs Friday the 20th of October and still waiting for that bl**dy postman pat!! Moving on to the physical vs digital debate, being the wrong side of 52 now, I'm physical all the way. However, especially from an environmental point of view, I do understand why people buy digital. So good for you for reducing your carbon footprint!

I'll be waiting awhile on mine. I always get a game as a gift on my birthday in February, so I've chosen it as the one to ask for. It doesn't really bother me though. While I would like to play it and be caught up in all the hype, at its core, it's still just a 2D Mario. I can easily wait a little under 4 months to play it.

@YOYO-MX Good for you. Now that you played it and liked it, BUY it.

I’m going to Japan next weekend where my physical copy has already been delivered by Amazon. This will be the longest week of my life. Woe is me.

On that note, with the current state of the Japanese Yen my order came out to $50 Canadian total. If I were to buy it in Canada it would be $90 after tax. This is why I always load up when I’m in Japan.

@TryToBeHopeful

Yeah same here.

If it had been an option I would have preferred to collect in store but for whatever reason it was delivery only.

Still can't complain when it's free I suppose

Will hold off and pick it up pre owned once the price has dropped a little.

Downloaded and ready to play when I get home from work.

I already pre ordered Super Mario RPG and am waiting for the TTYD remake. I might not get it.
Unless my little brother gets the game himself, I’m not really playing it. Though if not, I might get it someday.

ATM, my platforming fix is satisfied by Yoshi's Island. I'll get Wonder sometime next year.

Always physical for Nintendo games. Plus my sd card is full and I’m not buying another!

I preordered it along with the switch lite and should be with me this afternoon. Bare in mind the last console I owned was a SNES back in the mid 90s, so it's kind of a big deal for me

Already got the game preordered. Going to pop by GameStop after school to grab it!

Every Christmas I get my girls a MP game (along side their solo games), Mario Wonder will be this years group game.

My copy arrived about 20 minutes ago. Just about to start it up!

@RobynAlecksys I've always paid less for physical, Smyth's toy store is usually £10 cheaper and there's always offers online. I sell games because once I'm finished with it or bored of it, I can get rid and put money towards a different game. And why would I make my mates spend £40 on a game I'm not playing when they could have my copy? I don't know if it's my age but if I'm paying for something, I'd like to actually have it physically. Digital just feels like I'm renting it.

Just picked up Wonder in Spain and it comes with the sticker sheet and poster. I wasn't expecting any bonuses, so it was a nice surprise.

Strangely, there was a 21% discount on it too. Not complaining...

Will get it for sure. Unfortunately, I don't know when because, despite the fact I can afford it right now, I have some issues at home related to its infrastructure and I don't know when I'll be free of them.

Thankfully here in Mexico, game prices have gone back to 1200 pesos after being 1400 pesos for a while.

Got it and loving it. The second wonder alone made it worth the purchase

Nah, I'm afraid I find 2D platformers to be rather boring nowadays. I hope you all enjoy it, though.

Day one - digital. I'm busy with haunted house craziness this evening, but I should be able to fit in about an hour since I can leave work early. I was tempted to start playing it at 11 PM when it unlocked for me, but my body decided sleeping for work was more important. XD

We are waiting patiently for the preorder to arrive!

Christmas game for myself.

Excited to play, but expenses, bills, work and time compete heavily with my backlog and current games on multiple systems.

When I have money I'll buy game vouchers and it will be one of the games I get, don't have money for it right now though.

@NinjaNicky I don't particularly like the idea of selling my games, as I frequently come back to many of them, a lot. Not just for games, I frequently do this for books and movies. I can randomly get an itch for Hades any moment, or Bayonetta 2, or CTR. All my personal 9/10 and 10/10 games get replayed a lot (and quite a few of my 8/10s). If I game them away I would lose a ton of enjoyment value. As for lending, I can just lend a friend my Switch for a while if I'm that fond of said friend, which accomplishes the same thing. Physicals can also easily get lost, misplaced, scratched, damaged, or otherwise rendered unusable by said friends, careless or very young family members, or just life in general. It's proven very overrated compared to digital in my case. I would prefer that both options ALWAYS remain available, but obsessing over the idea that one is the superior god-mode option is not cool.

I have played a few levels and I'm loving it. Sucks it's during the work day because I really want to play it!

Got it digital and used a voucher so saved $10. Other voucher will go towards Super Mario RPG. Played the first two levels this mooring. Good stuff!

Let's see I could order this, the MGS collection or pre- order SM RPG.

Who am I kidding. Why would I prefer playing games I've already beaten multiple times before. Of course Wonder is my first choice.

My little gamer heart wants to play it today, but my even littler college student wallet says “no sirree bob” LOL. Will hopefully get it for Christmas!

Edit: My girlfriend heard I wanted it and bought it for me 🥰 she’s the best!!

Playing it right now ...and it is wonderful. Had to drive all the way into the city to pick it up because my closest electronics store sucks and I really wanted physical on this one, but I'd say it's worth it when you've waited half a decade for a brand new Mario game. Will play some more tonight with my little sister when I take the trip up to my parents' place. She's been looking forward to it all week.

I'm going to clear out more of my backlog first, especially Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, then I might make it my next game along with Sonic Superstars.

I have no intetest at all, just waiting for wave 6 at this point...

I'm hooked playing Dark Souls 2 for the first time, so Mario can wait.

@Freek man Blasphemous 2 is high on my list too, i have it still wrapped physical

I'm waiting to play this as my switch game when i got to Paris and Rome next month (i'm in the states) but really looking forward to it. I want dave the diver too. Playing some luigi's mansion 3 on switch now for the holiday

I'll be getting it with TotK via Game Voucher!

I had this pre-ordered so it's pretty much ready to go! I'm waiting till Saturday to start playing with my siblings though!

I'm waiting to purchase either later this year or early next year.

Playing SpiderMan 2 for the next month or two and planning to get Mario RPG next month and those will probably take me to the end of the year.

Going to get it secondhand, game is not worth full price.

Doing stuff today, so I have to wait until tomorrow to play. Why have friends if they just get in the way of playing Mario!

Up at midnight buying at store. The second level had me laughing out loud. This game is pretty good so far. Happy platforming, people!

eventually but no need to rush i have quite a huge backlog...

@dribLS I never said I was getting that on Switch 😁
I’ve decided I'm buying MGS1 on Switch and just getting the collection on PlayStation. For the reason you mentioned of course.
I just don’t want to experience a downgrade. I played MGS3 on 3DS and that frame rate was a bit rough. It was great having it on there and I know that was even less than 30fps at times I think. Basically, I’ve experienced these games at 60 and at 30/sub-30 and I won’t go back to the latter if I don’t have to.

I honestly don't see how this is so different from NSMB. It seems a lot easier with the badges and very different art style and crazy levels.
But this feels like it was a 50/50 on whether to call it New Super Mario Bros Wonder or make it an add on Deluxe.
I could be missing something big but nothing seems new.
The persistent narrative connecting back to World makes no sense over NSMB U either.

I'd happily be convinced otherwise but until then it's Tears and Dread for me (which sounds horrendously dark)

I want it ASAP but there's so many games that I already own that I haven't finished yet.

Not sure I will be getting it yet
The graphics look prity bad
And of the game play dose not look good at all
But I probably get it at some point
But right now I'm playing sonic Superstars and it's really good😁

I've got it and can't wait to start playing it! Looks like it'll be a good amount of fun!

Im picking up my copy on my way home from work, very excited

Just started playing it. I love the new look and playstyles. But oh my lord. The jumping sound is horrific and triggers constantly since it's a platforming game. It's horrendous haha.

this will have to be one that I buy with Christmas cash

@JohnnyMind Oh! I already watched a video with Talking Flowers speaking Japanese. Well... Sounds funny. However, I expected more actual words, phrases, and sentences... But, that's better than nothing. What can I say about Junji Kitajima's voice... Well, it's fine. It's definitely better than the Kappei Yamaguchi's regular annoying high-pitched voice, lol.

My copy arrived at 10.50 played till about 1 and loving it so far. Got the 37.50 Curry's deal.

Pre ordered it last week started playing earlier and beat the first world in like 30 mins. Definitely hope it gets harder from here

Got it one day early, I'm at world 2 now. It is WONDERFUL!

Getting but not playing right away got some other Farm simulator to catch on first.

@Markiemania95 @the_beaver Which is the mystery. To start with the better game and experience or end with a better game and experience.

Mario is always a day one purchase for me

I love my fellow Nintendo gamers. Day One and Physical! As it should be!

Have a WONDERful weekend everybody!!

I'm already playing it, downloaded it yesterday, digitally of course. But man just too many games. I will have to alternate it with Starfield, as I'm still not nearly done even after 200h lol

@Bored_Cosmic_Horror Welcome back into the Nintendo family. Enjoy!

@John_Deacon Nah, the only ghost will be me unless I pick up a random Boo. XD I work at a local haunted attraction this time of year. It takes up a lot of my remaining free weekend time outside of my normal job, but I enjoy what I do! No true hauntings associated with the site that I know of.

@ozwally
I just really want to play it undocked, snuggled up on the couch. Guess I'll have to wait another month+.

I wish I could and was hoping to pick it up after work, but it got coupled with some stickers for free which are not in stock. Since that happened, it got delayed until everything is available.. Curse you, stupid stickers D: (I cancelled the order)

Yeah I’ll get it but not day 1. I have a backlog. Good thing is this will be EASY to find physical regardless.

It’s fine this game will have good week 1 sales regardless. Japan twitter has been positive about it.

Got it first thing in the morning at Target to get the shadow box, lol….playing it tonight.

I think I preordered it the day after it was announced. In hand now and I hope to play together w the kiddos this weekend!

Already playing it! I do feel like my expectations were a bit too high on this, it's closer to New than it is to World, in my opinion... Sure, the animations and overall looks are brilliant, but in side-scrolling platformers my mind is focused on the obstacles instead of characters so I miss most animations while playing. The reason why I'm slighly disappointed is because so far no level design was particularly outstanding (I'm in W2).

It's a fun game, though, and a great Mario game. I'd give it a solid 8/10.

Wonder is amazing. So many fun ideas and surprises. I’ glad I stayed away from watching videos and articles.

I am playing it as of this moment and it is a joy to play. Nintendo really outdid themselves with this one.

I already played through World 1, and I'm having a blast. There is so much level variety. I love that not every level is a standard get to the goal stage.

I will be getting the game eventually. It will make a fine addition to my collection.

I walked into a gamestop (eb games to me still) as I road tripped to another province to see family. I only have a Walmart in my town to buy physical games (I like buying physical games in brick and mortars because I’m weird). Saw a physical copy of Dokapon kingdom in the flesh and bought that instead lol. I’ll get wonder at some point this weekend tho

I would say I want to wait for a discount, but how much will this game actually be discounted and how long would that take.

I usually wait to buy all my stuff on sale unless its a collector's edition or something

Nope

Got it on Friday!

I just picked it up, unfortunately I won't be able to play it until later on tonight, as I grabbed it on the way to taking the kids to the movies, with the wife.

I will absolutely get it at some point, but I’m in no hurry to get it. Yes, it looks like a fantastic 2D Mario game, but it’s still a 2D Mario game, and I’m not paying $60 for it.
