Graphics Are Gorgeous!

Even though this title was previously available on the Wii U the graphics are gorgeous on the switch. I have used my switch mostly in the dock mode but found myself taking it off the dock and playing on the go. I appreciate the different difficulty levels as I am not a hard core gamer but still enjoy playing. Definitely worth the coins!

If you are a Mario fan and love old school Mario games you will definitely love this!

I would first off like to start by saying that I never played the Wii U versions of these games so this is the first time I ever played these Mario games and I am so happy I got this. First off it's a single game yet it's two games combined into one. If you love The 2D side-scrolling Mario games and you loved Mario World and Mario 3 this is exactly what that feels like. It feels like they took Mario Brothers 3 and Mario World and mash them up together to create this game and I absolutely love it! This is an extremely solid Mario game and Luigi game it's very fun and it stays very true to the original Nintendo Mario 3 game and the Super Nintendo Mario World game when Yoshi first made his appearance in the Mario World games. I will make this simple, this game is just absolutely fun, it's fun to play, nice to look at, and best of all gives you so much content I'm talking about a lot of levels here. If you like Mario games then don't even think twice about getting this and just get it. I definitely don't regret getting it.

Another awesome 2D Mario Game

Nintendo struck gold making the switch portable and a home console. I will not elaborate on the differences between the Wii U version and the Switch version as I do not own the Wii U. The down and dirty about this game. I purchased the original NES back in the day, and Nintendo mastered the horse manure rage quitting game during my youth to justify the costs of the limitation of 8 bit games. Games like Battletoads and Ninja Gaiden were the authors to rage quitting. Nintendo fixed the frustration of games by adding two new characters; toadette and nabbit. When your skill gets better, you can select the other characters, that were standard with the Wii U edition of this game.

List of Changes. Definitive Edition of New Super Mario Bros U

The definitive edition of New Super Mario Bros U. Basically a port of the Wii U game with quality of life changes, new characters and includes New Super Luigi U expansion. Here are the list of changes I've noticed: 1. Now play as Luigi, Toad, Mario, Toadette and Nabbit in single player in both Mario Bros U and Luigi U. In original, only can play Mario in Mario Bros U, and Luigi & Nabbit in Luigi U Cannot select multiple of the same characters when playing multiplayer 2. New characters: Nabbit* and Toadette. Both as basically OP (Over Powered) characters like Funky Kong in Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze for Nintendo Switch Both are resistant to ice and swim faster Able to stop on a dime after running Gain additional 100 seconds on the timer Toadette and Nabbit are labeled as easy and very easy respectively --Nabbit -No longer exclusive character to New Super Luigi U. Can be played in the core game -Cannot Ride Yoshi -Can now carry objects -Immune to all attacks from enemies Still knock back though. Exceptions to immunity: lava, poison, pits, spikes and if you run out of time -If you collect power ups it coverts to 1up at the end of level --Toadette -Able to get Super Crown* Power up and turn into Peachette *Toadette is the only character who can get this power up -Peachette abilities: similar to flying squirrel power up. Float/glide, and double jump, but cannot attach to walls -Resistant to ice, increase swim speed -All 1up mushrooms shows up as 3-up moons instead 3. Portable. No longer tethered to Wii U console. Able to take this game anywhere assuming you there's battery on the Switch 4. Hint button on menu screen No need to go back to home screen 5. HD rumble. Rumble is very prevalent in the game from shooting fireballs to going up/down a warp pipe 6. Challenges return. No boost mode due to no duel screen 7. Spin jump. Now auto spins when pressing jump button twice instead of having it's own dedicated button or shake control. 8. HUD/menu screen. Cleaner and easier on eyes 9. Higher resolution Native 1080 (TV) 720p (handheld/tabletop) vs Dynamic 1080p (TV), 720 (Wii U game pad) 10 (?). Misc: No miiverse support seeing the service is no longer active (also for Wii U) No new levels which is also disappointing --Personal Impressions: Basically the same game you played on the Wii U but with more options. Note that this game is a full priced $60 game at launch. New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U Bundle for Wii U is part of the Nintendo Selects line for $30 if you're able to find it. Portability is a huge factor, easier access means more play time, especially if you share the TV with friends/family/housemates Personally don't like the double tap to spin jump. Feels more in control if I had a dedicated button like the original If you don't own a Wii U or never played this game before, it's one of the best 2D Mario games out there. If you did play it before, not a lot have changed especially if you're good at platformers as there's no additional levels to play through, just a few additional characters to make the game more accessible to newcomers.

Fun to play

I love this game. It’s fun, played it for the Wii U and now Switch. It’s not a life changer, but great classic MARIO game play.

Fun game but I don't recommend if you suck at video games

This is a really fun game but I can only play it for about a half hour before I'm screaming and throwing the remote. My boyfriend never played Mario (I know) and introduced himself by starting out with this game and shortly after I could hear him screaming in frustration from across the house. Some people just are not meant to play Mario.

Worth it if it’s your first time!

I never placed this on Wii U so it is all new to me. It’s a great throw back to super Mario brothers 3. Graphics are better and the story is as you’d expect. It is a great deal of fun and you can play it with your kids. So for me it is well worth the money. If you owned the old version on the Wii U there are several new things and upgrades but I don’t know if I’d spend another $60 for them.

Just like old times.

This game is awesome reminds me of the ones I played as a kid 30 years ago.

Love this Game

I love Super Mario Games in general but this one is pretty fun. I like that you can choose the difficulty and on the easier setting if you get stuck on a level you can choose for Luigi to pass it for you. I am by no means a professional gamer but I bought a switch just so I could play Mario games and this is y far my favorite. Very similar to Classic Mario with an update.

Best Super Mario Bros game to date!

This game is lots of fun if you’re into Super Mario Bros but want a nice visual enhancement. If you’re like me and never owned a Wii U as this was originally on the Wii U then definitely pick this up. You can do co-op with friends and family if you have extra joycons as there are multiple characters to choose from including Luigi, Nabbit, And Toadette. It also includes the other version of the game New Super Luigi U. Definitely worth a buy if you’re into this style of 2D game and haven’t played before!
