They also don't use the default control scheme from this game for the NSBMU theme in SMM2, they use the the optional one that you would activate using this method. So they obviously realized at some point that it was a mistake. Why not just change the control scheme that works to being the default? Cause Nintendo. Another huge gripe I had with this game, and every Mario game on the switch is the inability to remap controls within the switch menu. Unless I'm playing on an NES, I hate holding down the run button with my thumb, and then rocking my thumb to hit the jump button. I used to Speedrun SMW on emulators, and I would always set run to the right trigger, so that could hold run down with one finger, and click my jumps with a completely separate finger. This feels so much more natural for me. This problem is kind of made worse by the smaller buttons you have on a joy-con. I tried playing on the old Mario games on the Nintendo Switch Online NES and SNES services, and they felt horrible to me. Then the 10.0.0 update hit, and all my dreams came true. Finally I can run in every Mario game using ZR, and even map the spinjump in SMW to ZL, and I feels amazing. Before I was playing with two fingers, one for moving Mario, and the other for running, jumping, and spin-jumping. Now I can play with two thumbs on the face, and two fingers on the triggers, and each digit is doing just one thing. This might just be a personal preference type thing, but whenever I'm playing a game I don't like my finger to have to move around too much. If a game requires both sticks being active at all times, I set every action oriented buttons to the bumpers and triggers. If at all possible, I don't like using the face buttons at all unless the right stick goes unused. The only real exception to this is BOTW, and it's only because ZL becomes your main camera controlling button in combat. Although now that I can remap controls I might have to mess around with an alt-scheme for BOTW too.

It's just plain and didn't expand on the formula of the series like Mario Kart 8 did to the Mario Kart series. That's why I bought MK8 Deluxe, because Mario Kart 8 was already a good game WORTH $60, and now I could play it on the go with new characters and a better battle mode. (edit edit) just a nitpick, I tried the Mario U Deluxe demo at Target once, and I agree with Arlo: WHO THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO MAKE YOU SPIN WITH A?!

I know it wants to give you a chance to use items before going back in, but there are many better ways it could do this. The ice flower is like the worst item in the game. I don't want to freeze baddies, I want to kill them. Plus the projectile bounces so stupidly high that it's hard to line up your shot. This wouldn't be such a problem if it didn't feel like the vast majority of the items in the game were ice flowers. It's like every other level, that's what you're using. It gets really old. Also yeah, this game isn't five years old, it's a little over six. Not sure what I was thinking there.

To be fair to his 4/7, a lot of people like this game for doing a good job recreating the 2D Mario experience and the people I know that had the Wii U version said it was fun, polished, but nothing that gets you particularly excited. That is, you've seen it all before. So I think a 4/7 is fair (especially in a world where 6/10 is considered an awful score from professional critics). And it's nice to seen someone (professional critic or You-Tuber) not totally spurg out over this game. I've seen this game get glowing reviews from almost everyone. I feel like I'm going crazy because it's a straight up port of a super derivative game that totally failed to convince anyone to buy a Wii U six years ago. Although I did defend it from being totally trashed, there's no way this old, recycled content would get 9/10 no matter how polished it is.

That said, it’s probably time to try something a bit different now when it comes to 2D Mario platformers. Our next 2D Mario game should definitely be an HD version of Super Mario Land, or something different. Switch it up. There have been three New SMB games in the Mushroom Kingdom. Let’s do Sarasaland now! Maybe make Wario, Waluigi, or Toadsworth playable characters (instead of just having Blue or Yellow Toad).

The main problem I have with this game is that it's called the "Deluxe" version. Outside of Toadette & Peachette and the ability for Player 1 to (finally) be a character other than Mario, this is the Wii U game packaged with it's 1 DLC. Compare that to Mario Kart 8 Deluxe which added multiple new characters, an entire new Battle Mode and even had some of it's own DLC in addition to being the Original packaged with it's DLC. There was enough content for people to double dip if they had the original. This game however, if you have the original on Wii U you might as well stick with it especially with the better spin controls. The Luigi U DLC was released digitally, physically and even in a bundle with the original. That's 3 different ways to get the DLC for the Wii U version so it's hard to justify getting the Switch version for the DLC specifically if you already own the original. If you don't own the original, then congratulations because you are getting a complete & pretty good game here and you are the targeted audience for this port. It's just such a shame that almost nothing new was added to this port like Mario Kart 8.

If I were to make this a “deluxe” game, here’s the things I would’ve added to make it worth $60. -Add Wario and Waluigi. Maybe this wouldn’t have really made sense since they’re both rivals to the Mario brothers but I still think it would’ve been cooler than Toadette. -More power ups. Maybe 2 or 3 powers up would’ve been better than just simply porting over the originals (Electricity, water etc). -Importing more worlds. If they were just going to port the worlds from the Wii U, why not port the worlds from the Wii version? -You should be able to use or add items to your inventory while playing levels. By doing this it would be easier not to waste your power ups before starting your level and then getting hit immediately after. -Fix common bugs (such as the one from the beginning of the video). Don’t really need to explain this one. Maybe I’m thinking too big about adding stuff like this into the game, but considering this game is $60 and has “deluxe” in the name I feel like this would be somewhat fair. But if it was just a port (which it is), it should’ve just been $40.
@kostasgr18585 жыл бұрын
1. They're rivals to the Mario Bros. and they really don't fit in the game. Why? 2. This is a port of the Wii U game. Not a new game. If you add new power-ups to a game with already designed levels, then you would have to play-test the entire game to see if the power-ups work with the level design. What would you need an electricity power-up for? There's also already the Ice Flower power-up and the Penguin suit, why would you have ice and water power-ups that'll probably do different things and confuse the player? 3. Again, this is called New Super Mario Bros *U* Deluxe. This game is a port of the Wii U game and SOLELY a port of that game. Not of other New Super Mario Bros titles. Why would you include more levels and keep a title that will make customers think it's purely a port of the Wii U game and nothing else? 4. If you were able to add power-ups to your inventory by just collecting them (while having a more powerful power-up) then this game would be easier than it already is. Same with using items in your inventory. And if someone gets hit after getting a power-up, the game cannot be faulted for that. 5. That was not a bug, it was simple player ignorance of the platforms. This is an intended feature, if you get squashed or otherwise flattened, you lose your power-up. And, while I and probably you found it funny, it is not a bug, as you are implying. "Don't need to explain this one" shows that you don't know any other bugs in this game except that "bug" if you ask me. However, I do agree with you that this port should have been sold for way less. 20 or 30 bucks would've made this game much more acceptable.

I would have preferred a new installment for the Switch to keep that pattern going.

@@loganmiller7827 For me it's a matter of whether players have had the opportunity to play the game or not. For instance, GTA V came out on the tail-end of the seventh generation. Within two years it had been ported to the PS4, XBox One, and PC. I already had the game on PS3 but I bought it on PC regardless because it offered a better experience for me. There were also many people who never had the opportunity to play the original game or had simply held off on buying it the first time around who now got to experience it for the first time. I know that you're likely talking about definitive editions, but even so, re-releases of games are common for the exact same reason. It's an opportunity for you to purchase a game you might have missed out on but now with all of the DLC and some tweaks to make it a better experience. It's not really for the people who bought it the first time, but obviously they can still buy it if they want to play the game again. Think GOTY Editions or Gold Editions. I think that both of these scenarios fit the Wii U ports to Switch very well. The Wii U had such a small install base that at this point in time at least 2 out of every 3 Switch owners have played NONE of these games on the Wii U (or at least haven't owned them). So Hyrule Warriors, Mario Kart 8, and NSMBU are new experiences to them. While I do think the amount of re-releases is a little high, there's just as many new experiences available that I don't see the issue. Everyone's always freaking out about "another Wii U port," but out of all of the switch games on my shelf right now, less than half of them are Wii U ports (5/13). Never mind all of the new games I have digitally that weren't available on the Wii U at all. And I bought these games because I either didn't get them on the Wii U, or the improvements to them were great enough that it justified the purchase (such as MK8 Deluxe). At the end of the day, if the port doesn't seem like it's for you, that's probably because it isn't. If you own the original game with all of its DLC and you're perfectly happy with going back and playing that instead of having everything on one console, then just do that. These ports are made for the people who either haven't played the originals, or still want to play those games but don't like the inconvenience of having to constantly alternate between several generations of consoles.

@@autumn_breeze616 The only reason why I bought Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was because the switch didn't come with any games and I needed something, the switch had a release lineup rivaling the Virtual Boy in terms of bad, just one game anyone was interested in, 5 total. I bought it in May, and Zelda has never been my thing. That's the only port I have. If I remember correctly, the only other port I've ever bought was Super Mario 64 DS, and the original game had been out for 10 years when I got it. I would say that rereleases are different. There are way too many slightly edited ports on the Switch. I'm not into a ton of stuff. I really only play Nintendo stuff. I had Mario Kart 8, NSMBU, Captain Toad, and there are rumors of a Pikmin 3 port (If they port that instead of making Pikmin 4 I don't think Nintendo could find a way to piss me off more other than maybe delay Animal Crossing, which it's looking like they did), what could I possibly benefit from by getting them again on the switch? I didn't want to buy Mario Kart 8 again, but I didn't have any other options. (I did buy I am Setsuna too, but I didn't ever finish it) The other ones that have been ported I wasn't interested in then and I'm still not now. There has been almost nothing coming out lately in terms of first party stuff. I feel like I have nothing to play on my switch which is why I often go back to older consoles that ever had games release on them. On the switch, we have Zelda (even though it isn't my thing), Splatoon 2 (most of what I play), Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade 2 (I bought it but didn't really like it) ARMS, Octopath Traveler (also most of what I play lately), and Smash. Smash and ARMS get boring quick, Zelda and Xenoblade aren't my thing, after you play through Mario Odyssey once there's not really anything to do, so I'm left with two games on my switch plus Mairo Kart and Mario Party. So that's why I feel so frustrated with Nintendo filling the switch's library with games I've already played. I would rather have something new I can play. I might get less angry at them if/when they ever decide to release FE and AC, throw in Pikmin too and I'll be less angry at them. But why would I play these games on a different system than they were originally made for? I can't express how much I hate ports.

The game isn’t bad, it’s just a bit bland. My very first console video game was New Super Mario Bros Wii, so I *love* the series, but this is just a port of a game that was barely different from the game before it.

@@paxtonl1330 well as this was your first console game you don't see it from the perspective of old, grumpy gamers like me who have played since NES Mario. This game while an enjoyable game is a watered down casual version of Mario. Not a bad game don't get me wrong but also not a great Mario game imo.

A lot of people actually want a port of that. It would make the comunity bigger and let more people play it (since it became one of the few reasons to have a Wii U)

Who's going to be able to play them? They are still Wii U games at their core. They're just being made available to a much wider audience. Just like with the HD Zelda ports. The one Wii U game that needs porting the most is Xenoblade Chronicles X. The second most needed port is Super Mario 3D World.

In the advertising for the email Nintendo sent to their subscription list it said “perfect for getting new people into Mario” so I think they’re going to bring in an actually “new” 2D Mario game into the switch. Possibly to ease people into Mario maker “2.0” better, eh?

Mario Maker 2 will probably come out next year, since its Super Mario Bros (NES)'s 35th anniversary. I have the Wii U and 3DS versions but would be happy to triple dip! Hopefully this year, Nintendo make a new Mario Golf to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the 1999 Mario Golf, that would be sick!

Something I think would be interesting take on the series is a 2D Mario with from metroidvanias, such as Hollow Knight. Traveling through a gigantic castle and surrounding lands trying to free Peach in a open and dynamic world would be loads of fun. Things could be done to add more of a Mario fair such as a larger emphasis on platforming over combat, but that is for them to figure out.
