Super hyped for this game, October 20th is a huge media day (Killers of the Flower Moon getting shafted due to Super Spider-Mario Wonder 2)
I think reviews come out tomorrow, and I expect it reviews even better than Spidey. We are feasting this weekend.

There's no reason to think "game design" would suffer much at all if they made this a proper online gameplay experience. It's a little more work, but they already have 4 player couch co-op. It's 2023, and a number of Switch games do this just fine... there's no excuse for this anymore.

I still simply despise the visual style of it in every single trailer and video to date... but I'm sure the later levels will get more interesting. Hearing a bit about the challenge bonus worlds is already promising.

Wonder certainly is the most varied setting Mario has been on since what the SNES days? Its losing the simplicity of the nsmb games ,has more in common with 3D World
Regardless its a huge improvment on every way from the new! Series(except maybe color palette depending on who you ask) people wanted more cartoony Mario rather than lifeless 3D model they go it

Yes. Mega hyped.
I will ALWAYS buy a 2D Mario. And having a style refresh makes it all the sweeter (fucking finally).
Super Mario Bros. was my first game and SMB3 cemented my lifelong gamer status.
Bring me the WONDER.

The hate I've seen a few people have towards the art style is pretty baffling.
To each their own I suppose.

Yeah. I dig this style quite a lot. And I was one of the people who thought that the New Super Mario Bros. games looked like fan games (not a compliment). Whoever at Nintendo is responsible for the new look should get a raise.

I don’t know man.. Anyone who prefers the left model over the right is dead to me.

lol, I was mostly being nice. There is no comparison. I don't understand how people dislike the right one. Like... It's perfectly 'Mario' the new animations and everything look great as well.I don’t know man.. Anyone who prefers the left model over the right is dead to me.
I've seen dozens of posts saying they hate the look, but not sure I've seen any that actually go into why they dislike it. So I guess that might be interesting if anyone gave context?
Can't wait to play.

The new look is quintessential Mario. Much more than the "New!" style, which really lacked that Nintendo je ne sais quoi.
Now Mario moves with the exaggerated swagger of a black teen.

I have been on complete blackout on this game. The only thing I have seen is the title image. Going to pick this up after work and get my girlfriend to play with me. I have no idea what to expect!
Not "hyped", but looking forward to it.

I mean, its the cartoony model we've seen from 80s-90s Nintendo Powers and instruction manuals. It's the dream look. I've been waiting for this leap since 1991.

I am greatly looking forward to Super Mario Wonder. Not only are we getting a new 2D Mario, but it seems that Nintendo cares enough to put in the effort. I enjoy NSMB U Deluxe, but it does feel like a greatest hits album that only recycles old ideas from the past. It's one of those videogames that I should love to pieces, yet rarely find myself wanting to play.
This is going to be great fun.

New 2d Mario means more crazy 2d Mario speed runners.

Very hyped for this game, Mario games are ofter top notch when it comes to level design.
In case you missed it, the first two parts of Ask the Developer - Super Mario Bros. Wonder just dropped. The first part can be found here. There is some interesting facts about development here yet again. I wished Nintendo did these for all of their games.

This game is giving me major Rayman Origins/Legends vibes.
That's a good thing

I feel like we're nearing a SMB2 sequel!
Not really though, but I'll never stop hoping for one.

Was at a small game event last week where Nintendo had this game playable in their booth. Constant lines so I didn't play it myself, but the game looks like solid fun. I'd imagine it will sell for a long time to come, as it might be the last evergreen title for Switch.
Not sure if 2D Mario games generally get all that much hype pre-release though, the hypetrain is usually reserver for 3D Mario if I'm not mistaken.

The models are good, no problem there.
...now if they'd just fix the atrocious 90s budget-pc-platformer color palette...
As for capturing the old 80s/90s aesthetic, Mario 3d World was much more faithful to it:
It retained the correct and flat color palettes that give off the early vibe. I had some of those classic illustrations on my wall as a kid, after all. The gradient-heavy and "hot" candy coloration is very antithetical to that style and era, cuts against it harshly.

I would love to see a remaster of Super Mario World in this art style. It would be fantastic.

Can’t say I agree. 3D World is nothing but more color pallets, the game itself doesn’t capture that esthetic.The models are good, no problem there.

Meanwhile you can pretty much take the new model they’ve made for Wonder and straight up just paste it into an old-school manual and it fits perfectly:
The animation is pretty much an exact trace of the old-school art.

How do you know, did you play it? Is there a demo? Otherwise it's all just looking at videos. It also has the same annoying nsmb wii music with thr bop bop.. Ughh. Im up in the air with it. Was going to buy right away, now Ill wait and see.

I'm ready. Glad I used my nintebdo ticket on it. A new classic 2d Mario that's genuinely incredible makes me very happy.

Interesting that one of their goals was involving the directors/producers of 3D Mario games with the usual team of 2D Mario bros to mix in design ideas seems the project was a big success in terms of criticsl acclaim
(Now they went from making the 3D games resemble the classic 2D games,as was the goal with 3D land/Galaxy to the reverse
)

The best of their 2D/3D hybrids for me was Mario 3D World. I'd say that game is more of an authentic classic Mario experience than any game in the NSMB series and more than Odyssey by a mile, which was good but a little too weird and off the rails for me.Interesting that one of their goals was involving the directors/producers of 3D Mario games with the usual team of 2D Mario bros to mix in design ideas seems the project was a big success in terms of criticsl acclaim

3D World nailed it beautifully--easily the most classic look we've had for the Mushroom Kingdom.

I am so glad I went for a blackout after the reveal. This game is so happiness inducing. The Wonder effect of the second level is such a feel good one. Loving it.
