I could have jumped on the deal with the 2DS bundled with Mario kart for 100€ but instead I got the bundle with Pokemon Sapphire for 130€. I really liked the transparent blue color and I love Pokemon. I'm really surprised at the screen quality though I was expecting much worse since I'm used to gaming on a Vita.

Nice little handheld despite the fact that many bash it. Only a small question though, I know that SuperMario 3D land was built around the 3D functionality but will it still play fine in 2D? As in are there any segments that require 3D to get through?

Because if not thats probably my next game that I'll buy.

Goodbye New Mario, I Won't Miss You

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest307d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

__SteakDeck__306d ago

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic307d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

Asplundh306d ago

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

Juancho51307d ago

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos306d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz306d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game

shinoff2183306d ago

I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh

Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.

NotoriousWhiz343d ago

You don't have to care what anyone says. It's not a traditional fighting game. But it is a fighting game.

gerbintosh343d ago

Not according to the creator, Sakurai. Link below

I mean what makes them an arena fighter than say something like Tekken? Because there’s platforms?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21343d ago

because theres a bunch of pokeballs and other random stupid stuff on stage that you can use at your advantage and flying ultra super power ball that you got to chase on the stage to get your ougi LMAO.

CrimsonWing69343d ago

@NatsuXTheMaxspeed21

I mean what it sounds like is they took a fighting game and “added” unique mechanics to it to me.

When I think arena game I think of things like Spawn: In the Demon’s Hand or Virtual-On.

Smash to me is a fighting game, they have fighting game tournaments for it. It just doesn’t jive with me to call it “not a fighting game” because you have poke-balls and platforms or because it has 4 players at once duking it out.

Power Stone I’d consider a fighting game as well. Hell, if you google what it is everyone calls these games “fighting games”. So yea, they’re fighting games…

Immagaiden343d ago

What’s next, you gonna say Mario Kart isn’t a racing game?

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21343d ago

oh its a racer but its not a realistic one like GT or Forza. only kids check for mario kart and smash .

Immagaiden343d ago

I didn’t say it was realistic. I said racing game. Does Burnout not being realistic make it not a racing game?

What does a demographic have to do with a genre? Do kids playing CoD make it any less an FPS? You see how ridiculous bringing up that subject is?

repsahj342d ago

"Only kids and kids at heart check for mario kart and smash".

-fixed!

FallenAngel1984343d ago (Edited 343d ago )

Nobody said it was a traditional fighter. Everyone acknowledges it as a platform fighter

PSASBR & Power Stone are fighting games, the former being a platform fighter and the latter an arena fighter

gleepot343d ago

You're correct, it isn't traditional. It's a fighting game though.

repsahj342d ago

Because if cute and lovable characters are fighting it's not a fighting game? XD As long there's a versus fighting, it is a fighting game.

Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.

NotoriousWhiz343d ago

I hate to break it to you but smash bros has fighting game tournaments so it qualifies.

MrNinosan343d ago

"and here's how it competes against other fighters"

No, Mortal Kombat doesn't compete with games like Smash Bros? It's a different genre for a different audience.

NatsuXTheMaxspeed21343d ago

Anybody can host a tournament in their garage it doesnt mean it qualifies.

NotoriousWhiz343d ago

I'm going to assume you're not part of the FGC. However, I am, and I can tell you that there is a ton of overlap between people who play smash competitively and those who play other fighting games competitively.

Now for casuals, there is a lot less overlap between the two for sure.

PapaBop343d ago

While technically true, Leffen comes to mind, FGC and Smash community have always had a rocky relationship.

Thundercat77343d ago

And yet, If Smash Bros was over 80 million, you wouldn't be complaining. On the contrary, you would be bragging about it.

Immagaiden343d ago

Bad comparison. You do a LOT of things in GTA outside of a car while fighting is what you’re mainly doing in SSB

Ezio2048343d ago

Given the volume of games released, I would say Tekken has sold the best.

lodossrage343d ago (Edited 343d ago )

Yeah, that's a good point. Most of these games have parts to the franchise outside of traditional fighting games.

Like for example, with Mortal Kombat, do Special Forces, Mythologies: Sub: zero, and the Kollection count?

With Tekken does death by degrees or the tag tournament games count?

With Street Fighter, are we counting all the iterations of 2, 3, and 4? how about the ex series or alpha series?

There are a lot of variables at play here

Ezio2048343d ago

Even after including Tekken Tag, they have less titles compared to all MK and SF games.

CS7342d ago

Yeah, i realized that too. Very interesting.
