I love how well designed the characters look. After so many Mario games using similar models, it’s great to see fun animations and creative liberties for these characters. Gameplay looks awesome and super fun as well. New Super Mario Bros was a blast and here’s hoping this one is too. Day 1 buy.

Loved the scene where Mario enters the pipe but loses his hat and quickly grabs it. The flowers seem pretty funny and entertaining too. Definitely feels like there is a lot more love and attention invested in this one!

I’m surprised people care more about Mario RPG with different graphics than this new Mario game. 2D Mario has disappointed us in the past, but this takes leaps and risks Nintendo wasn’t willing to take before. The game actually looks really good, and it’s flaws are found in many other Nintendo games (People are finding the talking flower irritating, despite so many Nintendo titles having irritating side characters). From what I’ve seen from this game, it takes dangerous risks, has a nice art style, and actually has difficulty to it.

This one may feel… weird. But I strongly encourage everyone to give this one a chance, even if it somehow turns out being not great, buying this encourages Nintendo to take more creative risks.

(yes I will admit, this game does seem to look like you’re on drugs.)

I think people are looking for the next quantum leap for mario games. Nothing wrong with a 2D mario platformer, but it has to do more than New Super Mario Bros and Mario Maker 2. Quite frankly I am more interested in Wonder than RPG. RPG is an S-tier game, and it would be nice to replay, but, you know, it’s a super nintendo game. One that anyone could still play right this second.

I’ve seen a lot of comparisons to Rayman Origins/Legends (which I’m a fan of) and that fits. I’m just glad Nintendo is trying something slightly different and making a new 2D Mario.
