    I'm always gonna be nostalgic for the NSMB games, but the mario series absolutely needed wonder.
  • @superjew837
    Thank you for putting some respect on New Super Mario Bros DS. People forget that an art style that looks super bland on a wii u was (and still is) an amazing achievement on the DS.

    But Scott. It's called Super Mario Wonder because W is pronounced as double-U so it's a sequel to U.
  • Super Mario Bros Wonder was honestly what the 2D mario games needed. I had such an awesome time playing this game and hope for more creative mario games in the future
  • @mddowlin
    Super Luigi U is lowkey goated. Fast-paced level design and neat luigi easter eggs everywhere
  • @adamjones7891
    This series inspired me to write "new" in front of my name for over a decade. I'm not ready to put these three letters to rest!

    I had alot of fun playing New Super Mario U Deluxe with my wife and kids...But Super Mario Wonder has been such a treat. It really clicked during the singing piranha plant level
  • @CDRW24
    I share the same thoughts about NSMBDS. If there weren't several games after it with the exact same style, I do think it would be looked at more fondly today.
  • @spacemanspud7073
    Fun fact: Both NSMBDS and NSMBWii sold around 30 million copies! Thats more than Mario 64, Sunshine, Mario galaxy 1 and 2 ever sold at a margin of almost 3 times more! (For Sunshine and Galaxy 2 its nearly 4 times more). If anyone was wondered why they pumped these out so much and why the mainline 3d mario series made a hard pivot to be more like them with "Super Mario 3d World", that's why.

    BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!! Don’t get me wrong I did enjoy the NSMB series but not because of the games. Because my siblings who aren’t gamers will play them with me, the chaos of playing with friends, & the fact that it’s a 2D Mario. We absolutely needed Wonder & I’m so damn glad we got it!! Bought it on release but only just now getting to play since I had to play Spider-Man 2 1st, I wish I would’ve played it sooner!
  • At their core these are still fun games, but it must've been very frustrating to fans that this was all 2D Mario was doing for a long time. I'll always have a soft spot for this series (especially DS and Wii) and I'll even revisit them every now and then, but I couldn't be happier that this era is over. Wonder was exactly what 2D Mario needed and I can't wait to see what the future holds for the franchise.

    My fantasy as a child playing Super Mario World, was another dive into that map. There were so many secret red spots, everything was reachable on the main stroll, and i really wished there was more. Imagine a 3D reinventing of the dinosaur world, i would transfer my conscience into thar world
  • @killval849
    I'm just glad that we've probably got a really solid 3D Mario coming in the next year or so, but Wonder is probably my second favorite Mario game ever, so the Switch era Mario games are the best of all time I think.
  • As someone who never owned a Wii U but wanted a 2d Mario game for the switch, the new super mario u port was very welcome. I grew up playing the Wii one and this one, while it’s definitely more of the same, was still a lot of fun and enough to tide me over until Mario wonder came out
  • @Mucrush
    I wouldn't hate a Wonder 2, but I'd rather have them use the base of Wonder for the next game and change it up where it needs it. The art direction of Wonder is way more appealing than New's 3D in 2D
  • Am I the only one who wonders if Scott is just laying on his stomach the whole time during these videos because of the carpet LOL
  • Funny enough when Scott is referring to the logo, more specifically the font- while yes i'd agree that a new font/ logo style would be nice; that's actually the SAME font from the 1985 original. So it's understandable that it's kept that way, not just for branding like ya said- but also legacy sake.

    I’ve been watching your channels for years, and I have to say I love how much better at writing you’ve gotten. This was a great video
  • @sahaprocks7751
    This is like a funeral that is more happy than sad. Hell a funeral that has any semblance of happiness
  • @diabeticman2194
    I will say, after SilokHawk’s video on NSMB2 made me respect that game a lot more. Level backgrounds are a lot more creative than any of the other titles, and I love the increase of baas in the music. Coin collecting is a fun mechanic as well. So happy Wonder is a thing now tho, that game is phenomenally fun
