Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Looks like a lot of fun, October's pretty stacked for new games but I'll pick this up at some point for sure

I was the same, but previews are very positive ...

Not the elephant fruit stress ball! To be fair though, a 5 euro discount is crap, especially for someone who doesn't buy digital

I see they haven't changed the cost of the Bundle though that came with it. still 76 euro

the game has being leaked online over the weekend, so avoid youtube etc if people do not want spoilers

Just arrived. Good ole Smyths

I'd expect it to be available for 50 euro, like most of the other Nintendo first party games. Will wait and get it as an Xmas present for me. 😁

How is the two player? My partner loves Mario and it would be fun to play through together.

Cool, although I liked the "New" SMB games, they just felt bland after ... 4/5 of them. Really looking forward to giving this one a go

Gave it a go just now. Presentation (graphics, music, sound) WAY better than the NSMB games. Movement feels better. Just feels better. There is no time limit on levels which reduces anxiety a lot, plus it gives you as much time as you want to explore. The talking flowers are not annoying (so far), I thought they would be, but they have funny quips at times. Definitely a game to look forward to playing. The wonder seeds transformations are good and shake things up. I think I've only seen a few from the trailers; and they are the early ones. So, yeah, looking good. This + TOTK + Metroid Prime Remastered ... pretty damn decent year for Nintendo on the little old Switch 😀

I'm 4 worlds in (world 1 completely finished) and it's a great Mario game. I'm a bit sick this week so that might be colouring my opinion, but it's a good 8/10 for me right now.

Maybe it's because I was 10 hours into Blasphemous 2 and it was a weird transition. 😅

Bump.

Finished almost everything a few weeks ago. Went back this weekend to finish the Final Final Test (Badge Challenge).

I think this level has added at least 5 hours to my playtime.

I think all but 2 sections (Spring and Invisible) are manageable (albeit after lots of practice). That last invisible level can get f**ked though. That level is pretty much the last thing you do in the whole game, so who thought that level would be fun? It's memorable for all the wrong reasons. It's like having a fantastic meal in a restaurant, and finishing with a terrible dessert.

After hours and hours of playing it, I finally beat the last level and.... missed the top of the fecking flag pole.

I can do most sections on auto-pilot so I'll get it tonight. Hopefully.

For what it's worth, I tried playing online, but most people dropped out by the time I got to the end, so I had no standees to help me.

Adding a tiny strip of tape to the bottom middle of the screen is really helpful for invisible jumping.

Brilliant game overall though. Loved it.

Was going to ask if this game is any good as it would make a nice stocking filler for my young lad (who loved Odyssey & 3D World), but seeing some of the comments its definitely worth getting...?

Yeah it's a brilliant game and pretty easy for the most part. He'll love it.

I finished the medals last night. Had to grind for purple currency for about an hour to get all standees, but I'm fully finished at last.

100% agree. I had the first half of that section down thanks to a rubber band around the screen, but the Bloomp part sucked. The checkpoint was far enough back that it couldn't be practiced, it made me want to feck the Switch across the room every time I bounced wrong.

Overall I enjoyed Wonder. The badges are an interesting addition, though most I never used more than required.

Finished up last not, agreed with others on the Spring and Invisibility on the final final level, just more a war of attrition, glad its done now.

Beyond that felt it was very very childish and easy for the most part. Still an enjoyable game and worth playing
