Poll: So, Will You Be Getting The Switch 2 Upgrade For Super Mario Bros. Wonder?

yes, though im still a bit let down overall

i would really love to, but since i sold mario wonder i cant just get the upgrade pack, and thats an expense i cant do. maybe someday! however, im very happy about the inclusion rosalina and luma, and those amiibos are sooo tempting!

The added content looks alright enough, but if I buy this it would probably be more as an excuse to replay the base game than anything

I'm not interested to get this Switch 2 version and the Amiibo figurines.
I already have Switch 1 version so I'm good.

If I had a tier list of what I’d like to see added to an excellent Mario Game, multiplayer fluff would be Rock. Bottom.

It adds up to make for a lesser experience, knowing there’s extra content you’ll never touch because it’s low effort. No interest in supporting this growing precedent for completely unnecessary Switch 2 Editions.

I wish the poll had, "im not sold but im not not sold"

I’m very torn on this. SMB Wonder is my all-time favorite 2D Mario now, but I just don’t think the S2 edition is providing substantial new single player content. Not to mention, I know I won’t get enough out of the multiplayer content they add. So I’m really not super interested in this one. I guess I’ll wait for reviews to see what they say, but I’m not anticipating buying it.

I did buy that talking flower, though.

Some of my earliest gaming memories involve playing New Super Mario Bros. Wii with my dad and siblings, and we fire up Mario Party semi-regularly, so the prospect of having a bunch of little multiplayer minigames built around 2D Mario is actually quite appealing to me. Getting the return of Challenge Mode from New Super Mario Bros. U alongside some new levels and bosses that seem to be taking really cool advantage of the Wonder Flower idea, as well as Rosalina, just sweetens the deal as far as I'm concerned. I just hope there's a bit of substance to the multiplayer minigames, though as long as there's at least a few stages to pick from for each mode I think it should be fine. We still fire up Nintendo Land every now and then and it's basically got the bare minimum in terms of maps for its main multiplayer modes

my goodness. After playing Undertale twice I'm predisposed to be suspicious of talking flowers...

Update: dat boi got yellow petals. I'm not listening to anything he says

Update 2: i'm pretty sure this guy isn't wanted for murder, treason, assault, and breaking the fourth wall, but I'm still suspicious

What the others said. I like the concept of Switch 2 editions - giving great games another time in the spotlight by upgrading the visuals and adding a reason to play them again. But multiplayer content is useless to me.

Prediction: this is set to be one of the worst reviewed Nintendo release, ever. On par with Drag X Drive.

I was hoping there'd be some online play involving playing against random folk, so that was nice, but the meat seems to be local multiplayer, which I wouldn't play as often.
Some single player action is also nice.

I'll probably get it. I do love this game after all!

I'm.... actually not sure now. It doesn't really seem worth 20 bucks to me. None of the Switch 2 upgrades really seem very worth their money to me. And the way Nintendo puts them on store shelves for an inflated price rather than pricing down the original so the Switch 2 version can be the regular price, like other companies usually do things when releasing a new version of an old game, rubs me the wrong way too.

The content on display does look fun though, and I'm sure I'd have fun with it if I were to get it. But I find it hard to justify.

I liked Nintendo better when Mario was in charge rather than Wario. They're due for their own 6 golden coins arc.

I feel like I'd need to convince myself to do it, might need to wait for word of mouth on the Toad challenges. Rosalina is tempting but I'm never going to touch the multiplayer stuff so that makes it a tough sell.

Doesn't really help I'm not crazy about Wonder to begin with? It's fun, but the only 2D Mario games I'd definitely rank it over are Lost Levels and NSMB2, feel like the emphasis on spectacle over platforming makes it not hold up super great on repeat playthroughs.

I think I'll pick it up eventually.

Still undecided, it depends on how much single player content there is. This being multiplayer focused is not a good sign, I don't have anyone to play with and generally don't enjoy PvP content so this is probably not for me, but I'd like to have a better idea of the full package before making a final decision.

It's the first mainline Mario content since Wonder's initial release, so it's a no brainer for me. However, I'm a tad bit worried about its staying power and whether or not it will actually be a substantial addition. I'm one of the few that actually really liked the NSMB2 Coin Rush DLC, and obviously Luigi U was the best thing Nintendo could've done for NSMBU, but this kinda looks like extra multiplayer-centric content that should've been in the game from the get-go.

I still need to learn more about what's on offer for single player, but I'll probably get it - although it has less priority for me than the DK Bananza DLC and the Kirby and the Forgotten Land upgrade.

@ATMVF This is what I was not sure about. If it is local only, I will never get a chance to use it. That would be a shame, as it seems the whole concept the SW2 version is based around. If you can do match ups and play with random people online, that sounds a lot better. I suspect the former though. That leaves the Toad training challenge and Koopaling mode for single players, I think?

I've never played this game before, so I'll wait to get the S2 version and that'll be my first time playing SMB Wonder. Looking forward to it, although, not overly ecstatic about it either. It's long overdue for a new proper 3D Mario mainline game and follow-up for SMB Odyssey. It's too much of a gap between these mainline games honestly. And within the first year of a new Nintendo console generation I absolutely do expect a full mainline Mario game OR Zelda game. And this time around it seems we get none of that... Disappointing!

Alternate Title: Will you pay $20 to deface Super Mario Bros. Wonder's icon on the Switch 2 home screen?

It's a weird one for me, I love Mario games, 2D or 3D in fact they are without any doubt my favourite genre of games.

I bought Mario Wonder at Launch and completed it.

For whatever reason though , I've no desire whatsoever to play through it again..... I enjoyed it and don't regret the purchase but it was very much a 1 and done..... Where as any other main line Mario games I'd be happy to play over and over again.

I can't quite put my finger on the reason why but this game this didn't hook me the way the others usually do

Nope. I mean I don't even know anyone who games anymore, so for me gaming is a single player experience and this would be a pointless purchase. But, I think it's good they released it and pushing local multiplayer play is always a good thing, online simply does not compare to sitting in a room with friends or family and all joining in, whether competitively or cooperation

not paying 20 bucks for a upgrade..

I'm buying the full game on Switch 2. I don’t know when, but I didn’t buy the game on Switch 1 and I’m interested in having the latest version complete on cartridge.

Yep, I'm getting it. This DLC is gonna make an excellent game even better.

This most be the worst upgrade to a main line series. And the fact this and the galaxy pack were the biggest game announcement for the 40th anniversary... Honestly idk what nintendo is doing, but the switch 2 is closing their 1st year with nothing impacful or iconic as it was switch 1st year.

I did like the game so I’ll probably upgrade it at some point. No amiibo’s though.

The silver lining is that Amiibo seems to be getting less and less popular.
How many overpriced Happy Meal toys did Nintendo think our shelves could carry?

That case really is nasty. The worst thing about Switch 2 has been the cases. I don't understand how they've not realised this.

Na, I was not a fan of the game. I beat it with all secrets but it is far too easy and far to gimmicky... The wonderflower actually ruin the core gameplay since they add gameplay features in every level but you are never tested in the core gameplay until the last secret levels.
I love the visuals mostly though.

I just hope they stop making this sort of 2D "we are mario bros." games and start making real new 2D Mario Games... There is so much you can do with this but it always feels they go to close to the original Mario Bros...

There’d need to be a lot of new single player content for me to even think about a $20 upgrade.

Wouldnt this be stuff they’d add to a Nintendo Direct?

What do you guys think: Does this mean we most likely have to wait until March?

I played smbw for quite a bit but my kids got bored fast, meaning the multiplayer won't be used enough to warrant this.

I think rereleasing old Switch 1 games with some graphical polish and maybe a chunk of new content at $40-50ish is an excellent idea that gives a new boost of interest from old and new fans alike. Maybe a quick $10 upgrade-path for those who retained their copy from the previous gen.

After all, the games were already mostly developed, so pricing them like they're brand new would surely be considered a greedy overreach. These lower-cost refurbished classics fit rather nicely into the retired "Nintendo Selects"-niche - allowing people with less disposable income to still experience the joy of gaming without breaking the bank. Top marks, Nintendo. Keep 'em coming.

@Friendly it was in the september direct

@Mana_Knight I think the main extra mode only has local play and game share and it contains 17 minigames (or whatever they might be called in this game), but there is another mode just for matchmaking with random people that contains 6 minigames and those minigames seem to allow for more people compared to the mode with local play only.

So, hopefully those 6 minigames are pretty replayable and fun for us! If you get the game/upgrade pack that is.
And hopefully the single player content is also decently sized.

@ATMVF Ah, that sounds pretty good then. Yes! I don't actually have the game at all yet. Kept putting it off as a 'maybe later', so I would still have the main content too. Would likely go the route of buying a cheapish 2nd hand SW1 cart and upgrading it.

So the upgrade pack includes multiplayer DLC and a playable Rosaline + luma? Not really needed tbh as a purchase for me. I might still get it if I can find a nice discount on the upgrade code.

One thing I want to know is if all the content is on the cartridge and not an extra download

The Switch 1 got all the WII U games and the Switch 2 is getting all the Switch 1 games. I wish Nintendo would put all these hours into just making something new.

I thought they changed the art style from New SMB? The box art made me think I was looking at the deluxe game that was ported to Switch.

Aww, no one wants the poplin amiibo. Poor lad.

I like the multiplayer content, although I wish it was all equally available online and off (I think I saw that local had more offerings than online?). That could have made it a good thing to get on GameChat with friends and have a mess around on.

My main disappointment is that when I saw the Koopalings when this was initially announced, I was expecting a new world with some new levels (not for them to be added into existing levels). So the fact that this DLC is sort of everything but new levels is somewhat of a let down personally.

I've still got Mario Galaxy 2 to start after 100%ing Galaxy 1 last year, and then I'll revisit New Super Mario Bros Deluxe this year too for the first time since WiiU.
So instead of this DLC being a motivator to come back to Mario Wonder, it'll just be something I pick up when the other Mario offerings on my backlog are done with.

£16 seems just a bit too high. So I'm hoping that ShopTo or Loaded carry the upgrade for slightly less than it's RRP.

Will pre-order the upgrade path once I can.

I need to see the cost of the amiibo before committing. If they’re under £20 (like Sylux) I’ll be tempted to get all 3, but if they’re £25 (like the newest Galaxy Mario and Rosalina) then I’m gonna pass.

Oh what am I saying, I still want Captain Toad…
