WARNING: There are people spoiling the final boss and many other things for this game in the comments and replies. Be cautious reading the comments here!

“Bowser’s Fury is the DOUBLE* Cherry on top” Real missed opportunity there, fellas

The fact that a bonus mode takes the same amount of time to beat as sonic forces which is a main game is kinda disturbing to me as a sonic fan....

So there’s a no life here in the comments spoiling the final boss to bowsers fury so proceed with caution if you want no spoilers for your experience!

"You can use any Bowser amiibo to trigger him instantaneously" Me, who has two Bowser amiibos: *It's showtime.*

14:48 “And Pikmin 3 DX, which is the best mario game” Wait what

the first few seconds of this review instantly destroys "calico cat is daisy" theorys

The fact that they removed the "x" next to the life counter and coin counter makes me indescribably uncomfortable.

Notice how GameXplain have no play through or reviews of this game before the release date. My guess Nintendo suspended the partnership and stopped getting games for test reviews after their workplace debacle.

'free roaming like Galaxy' What?

This may be a silly question, but are the hidden Luigi’s still here?

5 hours. That means it’s gonna take me weeks to do a quick finish and then months if I am able to complete it.

I was one of the few people who owned this on the Wii U, while I am mostly stoked for bowsers fury even if it is a bit short, I still loved the original adventure and I can’t wait to play it again

Nintendo Life: Same game+More Content=Higher score IGN on the other hand: Same formula=Lower Score

"That ended up becoming the second best-selling game on the platform, but still sold less than nearly every other Mario platformer because it was on the Wii U." Man, it really was that great, and it really did sell that bad. It's going to be crazy and I'm sure pretty vindicating to the original staff to see how crazy the sales are going to be on Switch. The game really is fantastic, and with online play, I'll probably be able to play full 4-player matches.'

I would swear he said “all 5 sharts”. Lol.

I can't wait to get it for my birthday Edit: someone replied with bowser's fury spoilers (I think idk I didn't read the full thing I don't want spoiled) so if you don't want spoiled, don't read the replies Edit 2: pretty sure they replied to every comment, so be careful when looking in replies

Great review. At least someone knows what he's talking about. "Cough, IGN, cough".

1:38 Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga says hi.

10/10 is exactly what it deserves from all reviews especially with the new extended edition to the game, can't convince me to think otherwise I mean just look at it, it's a beautiful looking game 😍 and to me it plays really well 👌

I love cats. Yet, I'm not gonna lie, some catfied enemies range from being cute to bizarre to downright unseattling.

'This is a game that benefits from having people near you!' *Cries in lonely lockdown.*

I think it's interesting how many people didn't care all that much when Mario 3D World came out, I remember many reviewers saying it's "uninspired" and "just meh" but then suddenly couple of years ago everyone started regarding it as a masterpiece I wonder what happened, is it nostalgia or was that just one of the cases that it just needed time to grow in people's hearts? like the original blade runner or something

I want the Switch version of Captain Toad Treasure Tracker to add back the Super Mario 3D World levels

Short answer: Yes, it is worth it.

Dang Alex, you missed the opportunity to refer to Bowser’s Fury as “the Double Cherry on top” 😩

Wii u ports shouldn't be 60 point blank.

Thank you for giving this game the score it deserves. You didn’t clown on it unlike some... other reviewers. *Cough IGN Cough*

1:42 F in the chat for that Mario clone

My nephews broke my wii u copy, so i am buying this masterpiece again

I don’t mind getting 3D world again It was the same for me with Mario Kart 8 and DK Tropical Freeze

So we can only play as Mario in Bowsers Fury? My Peach life has been shattered and destroyed

Nintendo Life 3D World + Jon’s Furry

This review is incredible because it appreciates everything that the IGN review whiffed on. Subbed!

I'm really happy to see snapshot mode returning. I love messing around in that mode in Mario Odyssey & I'm glad to see it returning in 3D World. Though it is dissapointing to hear that moving the camera during snapshot mode is much more limited here than it is in Odyssey.

I already know It's worth it. I love the original game, They changed and added a lot of things, And Bowser's Fury looks so cool. I can't wait for Friday!

I love this mix of 2D and 3D Mario, hope we get more !

I suspecting this isn't the final release, Imagine the day mario ended in march they announce the same day with the release with new mario game but who knows surprise is a surprise

I think it would have been interesting if "Bowser's Fury" would have had roguelike elements to add replay value. For instance, every run you would have certain sets of missions and areas to explore. Enemies would be mixed around, item placements, etc. Each run, being randomly generated to a degree, would be unique. Add a leaderboard of some type (time attack, score, etc.), and this all turns the "Five to six hour adventure" into something much greater. Add the characters from "3D World" as unlockables, too.

I’m happy that more people will get to experience this great game!

Ok but seriously the soundtrack for this extra mode is incredible. If you haven't listened to either 3D World or Bowser's Fury soundtrack yet, go do yourself a favor!

NL: online multiplayer on 3D world isn’t that good... Me: 😮 I’m surprised it’s even REMOTELY good!

This is a weird game for me. I decided to give it a shot because it seemed like it was more 2D traversal than total 3D. For some reason my brain can't always figure out where Mario is in the space. I end up missing jumps, not hitting boxes or jumping off a ledge in the background and foreground way too much. I have to take it slow. Maybe it's a sign of age.

Listen kid... I don't have much time.. The final boss of Bowser's Fury is-

Spoiler : Before Mario defeats Fury Bowser for the final time, Bowser Jr comes to Mario and says he’s a chuckster

Wait until people get mad because they have to wait for bowser to appear to break all the fury blocks

This was one of the major Wii U ports I was waiting for! So happy to have it this Friday. Now I just need Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD!

One of my best friends and I are huge Mario fans! However, we live almost halfway across the country apart from each other, so I'm very much looking forward to online multiplayer so I can play this with her!

Nintendo: we added an extra couple of hours of content on your 7+ year old game. That will be $60 please.

Can’t wait to be disappointed by the lack of new playable characters

Does anyone play games when going through tough times? When I play positive games like Mario on bad days it helps me pull through. The games are full of charm and are fun too play. Even though some games are short it's never bothered me since I like playing games to help me relax.

I think my favorite thing about the fury bowser situation besides the music is the progressive difficuly of getting rid of him. First you can kinda just hideout until he vanishes if you arent near a cat shine. Or you can just die and he will be gone after loading. After a while, he wont just go away on his own anymore, you have to collect a cat shine to make him go away and thats it. THEN when you are near 50, he just never goes away, even if you collect a shine or die. He is always a threat until you hit 50. that las concept made the climax so amazing. I did a run where I had to get 3 catshines to hit 50 and i collected all 3, then went giga liona, then beat the fury out of bowser, then beat bowser himsel. it felt like one super long boss fight that began with the collection of 3 cat shines. It was amazing!!!!! and that you can claw bowser, throw stuff at him, or just wat for him to be stunned after his last groundpount to then greoundpound him yoursel. It's just such a dynamic way of doing things and that made this the best bost fight in a mario game for me to date! I was in awe!

I replayed 3D land and I forgot how good it was Can’t wait for this

"5 shines per island" Dont you mean per lighthouse? Since each lighthouse has a section... The preview showed the first island (technically 2 islands, but they are just treated as one) and they have 15 or so

6:50 Watching Mario struggle to hit that blue Piranha Creeper is so frustrating. I really wish they gave the full game 360 degree directional movement.

Excellent and very comprehensive review, although I am somewhat surprised by the very generous score. Given the feedback from the review I would expect something like an 8 due to the performance issues in handheld mode, online mode issues, repetitive structure of Bowser's Fury and its rather short campaign.

Fastest click ever to find out how long is Bowser’s Fury!

Remember everyone: Tomorrow is the grand opening or grand release of Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury or Bowser's Fury for short. Are you ready to celebrate?

My daughter was still a baby when I had this for the Wii U. Shes 7 now. She loved Odyssey so I'm sure she will like this, especially since its multiplayer. I love that child 😇

"Nobody will be calling you a dumb dumb sinces there's no voice chat" X: "hold my beer"

Can't wait to watch this after I buy it!

Finally I can play the sequel to 3d land, my favourite Mario game

Never had a Wii U so I am new to this game & all the other ports which I also bought can't wait for this one

BF was fun to play, but as you're nearing the end, the interruptions become more and more tedious, and I was happy once I had completed the game. Mario fans should try this one.

Is Bowser Jr only playable via local or can an online friend jump in as him?

All we need is Xenoblade Chronicles X on Switch and then my Wii U will be pointless.

I hope they made the time trials have stricter timing, because now you can move way faster.

No joke the photo mode feels more like a hat in time than anything

Frankly I don't think there was enough waffling in this one

I’m soooo hyped for the game. I preordered the game and the Amiibo so it’s gonna be 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Wow Super Yellow Giant Mario is Super Magnificent, this Game is Gonna be Awesome 😍😍😍

Friday cant come soon enough!

cat pun counter: 2 i’m disappointed

This game looks so good

Mario and Luigi ‘do plumbing’ in Superstar Saga, my good sir.

Great and informative review! Addressed all my concerns (bowsers fury length). Thanks!

Be careful reading the comments, traveler. according to some other comment, some little idiots are spoiling the final boss. be careful, traveler

Such a well reasoned and well thought out, entertaining review. This video made me excited for the game. The ign review was.... boring.

I love how they talk about the local multiplayer on WiiU like its a bad thing, where "you need to be on the same console to play with your friends" and then act like needing two Nintendo switches just to play with 3-4 people is a great new addition. It's so backwards...

I think this is the only Mario game where Bowser is the antagonist, but he never even tries to kidnap Peach.

CAUTION: Beware when reading comments there's a lot of spoilers especially regarding boss fight

Wait, so there were some issues here and there, especially with multiplayer, yet the game still got a 10/10?

Thank you Nintendo Life for not being idiots like IGN. You guys actually gave this game the respect it deserves. Great review and you pointing out its qualities while still acknowledging it's faults shows that you guys are not just dishing out a biased review. Well done

Funny enough, the games where Mario and Luigi are hired for plumbing are small. The first, of course, being Mario Brothers, before Mario got Super. Sure, they didn't really fix pipes much, but they were put in the sewers on a plumbing job. The last game I remember, before 3d World where they actually are hired for a plumbing job was the first Mario & Luigi RPG game. That was literally their first mission, and it brought a smile to my face when the first thing they had you do was a literal plumbing job.

Thank you for the amazing review, you guys truly know how to review video games unlike IGN who gave this gem of a game a lousy poor 7/10. Clearly this game does not deserve a poor 7. Thank you for being critical, presenting the limitations and flaws of the game along with the wins while showing love for this game.

It’s worth it I’m sure it is!

I think I could easily say this is the best Wii U port Nintendo has put out

gosh I love when Alex says ¨hello there. lovely people"

Meanwhile ign : 7

It's my game

I never owned a Wii U but I went to my cousins' house once and played this game and it was so fun, especially with a bunch of people. The Captain Toad bits were only one player so everyone else had to sit out while one person played it, but now that its multi in this game _and_ it has extra content, then I am definitely buying it!

I think it’s more worth it just for the better optimized version of 3D world and the multiplayer, but that being said I have been enjoying bowser’s fury more than I expected. It feels a little dated because it’s designed kind of like an oversized odyssey kingdom and the 3D world movement is a little lack luster, but I’m having fun with it. I’m glad to be revisiting 3D world, and bowser’s fury is a fun addition. It’s worth the $60 in my opinion. I’m glad they did it this way instead of making bowser’s fury a stand-alone game because then it would have been disappointing. As sort of an expansion to 3D world I think it’s great

A guy named Butter_Tv needs to be banned from this comment section. He’s dropping heavy spoilers and ruining the game for people.

Alex, I honestly can't stand the intro you do on every video "hhhhhhhhhhhello youughhhh" it's worse than nails on a chalkboard and I have to skip it every time

I'm not one for buying remakes or games that have been re released from a previous generation console, but for this game I was more then happy to make an exception. Brought it on Wiiu on its release in 2013 and it's one of my all time favourite games. It's great to be able to have it on the switch with more content. Wonderful game.

As a non-Mario game switch owner this title does look interesting to me. But I’m still not sure. It’s worth it, but also for someone who never played Mario games and is not sure they will like the platforming? Or are there better entry games for that? I’m annoyed that the price almost never goes down to try it out.

The better question is whether or not Bowsers Fury is worth $60 to people who already have 3D World for Wii U. I’d have to say no. Bowsers Fury should be available to be purchased separately for $20 on the Eshop, which is what I think it’s worth.Why do I need to spend the extra $40 on a game I already have just to play the DLC content? This should have been Mario Odyssey DLC to be honest...

*4:40* Alex cheerfully talking about photomode *the guy filming the gameplay making mario kick a cat*

8:48 “Cat Shines are the equivalent to stars, Moons, and all the other things you’d expect to collect in Super Mario 64” shine sprites...

But does it include Luigi Bros?
