Nintendo Switch and Super Mario
While Nintendo confirmed the Super Mario Bros. Wonder earlier this year, many fans speculated that it would not be just appearing out of nowhere without a dedicated Nintendo Direct event. And much to their high hopes for a third Nintendo Direct, September saw the festivities take place and Nintendo announcing the latest updates and the new game.
Mario remains as one of the top franchises from Nintendo in the present, with its 40-year-old run since 1983, the games remain famous, also seeing critical acclaim on different releases. The latest game, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, looks back to its roots as a 2D platformer, incorporating several 3D styles like modern Mario games, also using the art style of its box office counterpart which was also a success.
We are only days away from seeing the release of Super Mario Bros. Wonder exclusively on the Nintendo Switch, with only early-access gamers seeing the action firsthand and providing reviews on different platforms. That being said, Super Mario Bros. Wonder saw a significant achievement early on, with a 93 Metacritic score that ties it with RE:4 Remake, and beating renowned AAA-rated games in the industry.
