    I’m liking the newer art style. Different enough from what we’ve had from all the NSMB games

      Same. My wife isn’t much of a gamer but NSMB Wii and NSMBU are some of the only games we’ll play together and really enjoy. I think I’d actually pay for subscription DLC for a NSMB-style game if it gave you a few new levels to play through every month or two.

      I hoped Mario Maker 2’s user-generated content would feel like that, but the levels were so small and puzzle-focused that it really didn’t work.

    I love how well designed the characters look. After so many Mario games using similar models, it’s great to see fun animations and creative liberties for these characters. Gameplay looks awesome and super fun as well. New Super Mario Bros was a blast and here’s hoping this one is too. Day 1 buy.

      Loved the scene where Mario enters the pipe but loses his hat and quickly grabs it. The flowers seem pretty funny and entertaining too. Definitely feels like there is a lot more love and attention invested in this one!

    The game has a lot of the modern Rayman 2D games’ energy. The flowers commenting on what is happening, the musical elements, the generally trippiness.
    This looks great.

    As someone who enjoyed the “New Super Mario Bros.” games, this looks absolutely fantastic. 2D Mario has always been my favorite, so I’m super pumped to see something new that’s not “New”. Even though I enjoyed the “New” I think it’s time to move away from “New” to new. Ya know?

      Yeah, at first I didn’t like the new style, but as the trailer went on I started to like it more and more. It’s a refreshing update, but it almost reminds me of the style of the older games too in some ways

        Only thing I don’t like is the voice-acted talking flowers. I don’t need a voice to pop up and go “wow this is weird and wacky” when something weird and wacky happens.

          I agree, I’ll be turning the voice lines off if I can, hearing spoken word feels a bit off in Mario Games, unless its a song like in Odyssey.

    This plus rpg they really hitting that nostalgia market hard this time.
    This looks trippy. The talking flowers really made me smile I don’t know why. Yoshi running in the air to get a further jump really reminded me of Yoshi’s island so I’ll give this one a try.

      Stoked for Super Mario RPG, played it years ago, never finished it though as I got stuck on a boss. But I’m definitely getting it.

    Wasn’t expecting to be impressed by a 2D Mario game after New Super Mario Bros. 2 and U. Really excited for this game.

    Finally, a new Art-Style. It’s awesome how animated the Characters are. Mario looking outside the Pipe, holding his hat etc.

    Holy cow that’s trippy. The game could be really fun as a result of that style though. It isn’t exactly like Mario wasn’t weird to begin with.
