I'm pretty happy with it. I feel like Nintendo took a lot inspiration from Yooka-Laylee and the impossible lair.

Which I'm okay with since that was the best 2D platformer in a long time. The idea of unlocking new abilities for use in stages and backtracking. Plus the interactive world map. Though I feel like YL took that idea a little farther.

God, this looks so amazing. I'm excited to pick it up!

I played the demo at Nintendo live. It’s pretty fun, still just a Mario platforming game. Nothing that groundbreaking like some reviews would have you believe.

Be interesting to see what it'd get if you took the Mario textures off and it was reviewed as just the game itself instead of the branding, I saw all the 9/10, 10/10 and it's just standard for any reviewer and Nintendo.

Only heard great things so far. Convinced me to check Target and Wal-Mart on my home from work today to see if I can snag a copy

Same day launch as Spider-Man 2. This year is just littered with amazing games. Excited to try this one as I never could get into 3d Mario games.

I beat it 3days ago and it's was alright. I did feel like it needed less of the talking flowers and more power up variety.

Also every level started feeling the same after awhile. You really just follow directions most levels from these green bulbs everywhere.

To be honest, its kind of expensive for what it is. I hope to get it on discount or wait for a very long time.

Nintendo? You're going to wait a very, very long time.

[–] mesamunefire 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Meh the local places make it cheap after the first month or so.

[–] tb_ 3 points 10 months ago

No such luck here

I can’t wait to receive my pre-ordered one in the mail!

I was gonna say "Nice, I'm looking forward to this!" but it's already out so I just have to wait for someone to upload a dump of it 😊 New Super Mario Bros was probably my favorite SMB game, it's on par with Super Mario World.

God nsmb was so good, wonder is easy second for me now though… they put so much emotion and love into every level and it makes them feel so alive

[–] pete_the_cat 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Nice! Glad to hear that, sadly I don't have my friend here to play it with since I just moved 1300 miles from him.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Didn’t they add online co-op play?

My switch is hacked, I did it when they first figured out how to do it and there was no ban protection, so I'm perma-banned. He doesn't have a switch anyway, he'd always come over and play it at my place. We're old school.
