Ronnie Posted November 19, 2018 Posted November 19, 2018 I was on the fence about getting this, as I played both the original game and the Luigi DLC on Wii U. Then Nintendo just announced the freebies they're giving with it and I'm like ... *clicks pre-order* https://store.nintendo.co.uk/nintendo-switch-game/new-super-mario-bros.-u-deluxe-pin-badge-set-poster-map/11974360.html?utm_source=mario-bros-u-deluxe-pre-order-now&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=mario-bros-u-deluxe-pre-order-now&affil=thgemail&ecrmcid=lX2YdBwJ6z5MQ2zxD2pQOq14KxDbGpjE&shae=WpNJVYAjbkUzShni1aEo4zNDEk5UKsYr4ZLe9%2F3%2BkN8%3D&sendTime=1542657000&widget_id=1212287
Tim B Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 Probably deserves a bump seeing as it's coming out this week. After saying I won't get it, I think I probably will now. I have gone 100% digital on the Switch but have decided to go physical again for games like this, that can be played over a few days and then never touched again. It came out in 2012, seeing as it's now 2019 that makes almost seven years and I don't remember much about the game other than that it's Mario and I enjoyed it,
Nicktendo Posted January 6, 2019 Posted January 6, 2019 It's probably the best of the "New" series, but I have absolutely no desire to buy it again. I finished it on the Wii U (but without finding all the secret exists) so unless it goes cheap, it's a hard pass from me. More interested in the kind of sales numbers it does though, whether it can push a few more console sales towards that golden 20 million.
Jimbob Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Picking it up myself as i enjoyed it on the WiiU (was the first WiiU game i got as well). Never played Luigi U, so at least i can give that a go this time around.
Dcubed Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Man, that name and logo bugs me so much... It's bloody Super Mario 64 DS all over again! Disgusting! Edited January 8, 2019 by Dcubed 1 1 1
Agent Gibbs Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Wait till we get another remake on the Switch successor it will be New Super Mario Bros U Delux AllStars 4k or some shit! I wish every company would just stop with any Delux/HD/Remaster etc in their name, its just a multiplatform game! we don't get COD MW PS4 edition and Xbox One edition, treat it like that, its just the same name, in a box for that console. Still might get this game if i see a decent price drop 1

Tim B Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 It's now number 1 on Amazon video game bestsellers. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Best-Sellers-PC-Video-Games/zgbs/videogames

Tim B Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 And...it's out!!! Anyone know the cheapest price and place I can find a physical version?
drahkon Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 HOLY SHIT, THERE'S A SECRET CHARACTER TO PLAY IN THIS VERSION. Spoiler It's blue Toad.

SPOILERY SPOILERINOS (Hide contents) It's blue Toad. Spoiler Yeah, I wasn't allowed to mention that in the review. That said, I never figured out how to unlock him before I wrote that. I 100% NSMBU and saw the credits in NSLU and that didn't do it. It's so strange. Why do that when only 3 characters have a normal difficulty? EDIT: Just looked up how, now I'm annoyed. Wish I was told that somewhere. DOUBLE EDIT: Two people still can't play as Toad though, even if you choose different colours. Now I'm even more confused. Edited January 11, 2019 by Glen-i
Blade Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 I picked this up despite having it on the Wii U. I really enjoyed it on the Wii U and after SMB 3 and World it is my favourite 2D Mario game. I don't want to put the Wii U on again. Switched this on and completed Acorn Plains. I am enjoying the game all over again. 2
Tim B Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Unsurprisingly, the game launched at number one in the UK and sold 56% more physical copies than it did on Wii U at launch. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2019-01-14-uk-charts-new-super-mario-bros-u-deluxe-takes-no-1-in-quiet-week In other news, I've just ordered it and it's arriving tomorrow! Let's a-go! 2
Aneres11 Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 I got this digitally as I had eShop cards for Christmas and needed something to spend them on... but I’m feeling a bit bored with the game after only one world. I have always got fatigued with the NSMB series quite quickly but did feel a desire to play this before buying it, but now I’m all ‘meh’ about it. Ill keep going with it as it’s still decent to play, I might even try two player and see if that adds any fun to it!

I will go through them, I did prefer Luigi U and the main game is quite nice as a pick up and play. I think I just got burned out on the series as it felt like there was a lot of them in quick succession what with the DS / 3DS / Wii / U versions. Maybe I needed a longer break from it!
Ronnie Posted January 16, 2019 Author Posted January 16, 2019 This is worth a watch. Great stuff from Gamexplain as always
Tim B Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Been playing NSMBUDX for the last couple of hours and I'd forgotten how much I used to enjoy 2D Mario. Think I will go for all the big coins this time. It's no Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, but the co-op looks far superior and it is more suitable for beginners. It's still number 1 on Amazon despite being out of stock there until Friday. I got mine from Shop To for £39 which included a free keyring, so got to be pleased with that
Tim B Posted January 16, 2019 Posted January 16, 2019 Online co-op play would've been good for this Deluxe version, no?
Hero-of-Time Posted January 28, 2019 Posted January 28, 2019 I ended up picking this up and playing through it because I wanted a something to play on my Switch. I forgot to cancel the preorder and couldn’t be bothered to send it back. Like a few other Switch releases, I played this back on the Wii U and loved it to bits but playing it again now I actually found it a little boring and flat. Usually I can steamroll games but I found myself doing a few levels and then turning the game off. It took me a while to get through it due to this reason. It’s strange because before odyssey arrived I went through a bunch of Mario games and loved playing through the Wii version and the 3DS version but this just felt so tiresome and uninspired. I have fired up Luigi and I’m faring a little better with that. I much prefer the snappier levels and more challenging gameplay of Luigi. I finished the game but have yet to 100% it but now that RE2 and KH3 are out those will take priority. 2
