spacepup | 2,406 Administrator · Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 The elephant Mario is an... interesting choice. But the game itself looks pretty neat and wacky. I definitely want to check it out. I also love the colors / theme throughout the game that they exposed so far. Bottom line - the game looks fun and different - I'll try it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,121 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 I’m gonna play this for sure out of everything else that was shown in the direct. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,563 Editorials Team · Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 Speaking for the trailer as a whole, I thought they did a good job of making it initially look like a rehash, like another New Super Mario Bros., and then gradually taking it completely off the rails. This is an obvious priority buy for 4 player with my boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegaMan52 | 2,452 Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) Sure, why not? We've seen Mario as a raccoon, frog, rabbit, and cat before. Might as well have him turn into an elephant. I'll get this and the Mario RPG remake. Edited June 21, 2023 by MegaMan52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,943 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I'm good with it, not the first animal, likely not the last. Like megaman there said, on board with this, and SMRPG too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koifish | 557 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Looks fun. I don't need any more mario, but if someone has it, then I'll play it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonebone | 1,307 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Sure I'll check it out. Most excited for Pikmin 4 dropping next month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_Bogomil | 815 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Not sure I like it but it's something new... looks interesting none the less. I'd like to see more gameplay/etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 Man, I really have zero love for the 3D and new 2D Mario games. Outside of Zelda and Metroid Prime, Nintendo has almost completely lost me. Hopefully their lineup will get rejuvenated with a Switch successor.

Kguillemette | 1,547 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 This looks like a must play. I don't know that I'll be buying it day one, but I'll be getting it for sure. I love a good 2d platformer and Mario has never stopped being king! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefaultGen | 5,423 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 NSMBU is one of the best games of all time and if anything just needed to lean more into the super creative levels like Starry Night. This is going to be the greatest game of the generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintegageo | 582 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I am excited, but it's despite the elephant. Had it been an elephant suit, I'da been more on board. Excited regardless, they showed many cool games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez | 2,983 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 If you don't think this game looks fun as fuck, you must be a very boring person!

I don't know, starting out with that odd Mario "sprite" and then the talking flower, the game immediately seemed weirdly off. Feels like Nintendo intentionally tried to make it look like a fan-game or something. I had to do a double take on the trailer just to understand what I was supposed to feel. Seems like it's really just gonna be another traditional 2D Mario game (which is good), but with Nintendo repeatedly trying to assure us that they, too, enjoy doing drugs. Also, the music really rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacepup | 2,406 Administrator · Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 The more I watch the trailer, the more I'm actually really excited for this game. I saw a number of mediocre reactions from people, but I don't know, this game just looks super.... fun! I actually liked the New Super Mario Bros series of games, but I love how this game just shakes everything up and breaks all the traditional 2d mario rules. That will keep it fresh and exciting. I'm really looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart010 | 1,708 Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 It has a refreshing comic book aesthetic. Also Mario resembles Genesis Sonic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegularGuyGamer | 2,016 Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 The Switch has been lacking Mario content for years now and really needed this game. I gave up hope that a new 2D Mario was on the horizon and was shocked by this announcement. Bowsers Fury was dope but super short and as a Wii U owner, the Mario lineup on the Switch wasn't impressive aside from Odyssey of course. SMB Wonder has me thinking though. How long is the Switch lifespan going to last? Mario titles typically don't release at the end of life cycle. How long can Nintendo milk the Switch like this? It's gotta be the most impressive run for a handheld since the original Gameboy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
