Super Mario Bros Wonder sucked. I hope they don’t take it’s sales as a direction on the franchise because it is my least favourite.
Also how is Hogwarts so high and 90% off, must have had a huge fall off.
I liked it. It’s a decent attempt at refreshing 2D Mario, and some of the level gimmicks were quite fun. I think they’ve tried to recapture the effect of “every level a new idea” in 3D World, though I’d agree they were not as succesful in this one.
It’s a lot better than NSMB U IMO, that one was incredibly bland (especially after NSMB Wii, that one was great).
Nsmb wii was brilliant, really enjoyed it. The new one had fine parts but was just too disjointed and became tedious and zany which I wouldnt usually tiento Mario
Everyone is allowed their own opinion. So I’m not going to say you are wrong for disliking it, but I completely disagree.
I consider Super Mario World to be the best in the franchise, and Wonder was probably better. I loved the game. I found most of the “New Super Mario” (The 2D series) games bad, or at least missing the magic of the first games with tight controls and well thought out levels. Wonder was a return to that.
I consider the best “New” to be Wii by far. Good challenge, good level diversity, the right kind of chaotic fun in multiplayer.
The first NSMB was still very basic, and U was boring and uninspired. New Super Luigi U was the best part of U, at least it tried something, but too little too late.
NSMB2 felt like the worst example of “we need a Mario game now, pile up random shit until we have one”. I mean, they tried to have a gimmick in this one, putting it everywhere in theming and it’s… Collecting more coins than usual? And even then they don’t do anything with it.
By the way, of course everyone is allowed their opinion, but… 30 years later, still team SMB3.

I think the reason it’s sold so many copies is because it’s been on perpetual sale everywhere. People were majorly against buying it and that dampened some people’s interest initially but when the game is $5, a lot of people will buy it just because it’s cheap.

Hell. Epic games gave it away for free like a week ago.
