New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe (Nintendo Switch) (European Version)

Excelente servicio, mi hijo está muy contento con su juego de Mario Deluxe, un clásico de Nintendo

This is not the standard, North American version of the game. Its the European version. This should be made clear in the product description to avoid confusion.

Really fun game

The game is solid but its nothing new or noteworthy...nothing really to boast about. The first one that came out for the Wii was much more challenging and fun, as this was more or less just riding off the success of the other. With the mariomaker existing, you would have to find a way to really change the direction. Im just not really impressed and the other reviews Ive read appear as if they come from a seller and not a consumer.

I liked this game because it has many levels to finish and complete too. If you want an original title that has been made more recent on this up-to-date system then this is for you. Has my seal of approval.

Being one of the few hardcore Nintendo fans who purchased the Wii U has been frustrating experience. The console, whilst being a commercial failure, had an epic library of top quality releases. Whilst the hugely successful Switch now has a stellar line-up of top quality games this is in no small thanks to the number of Wii U ports and re-releases. I have so far resisted the temptation to pay for the privilidge of playing the same game twice and have avoided purchasing re-releases on the Switch for that reason. However I did make an exception for this one. New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe is not in the top draw of Mario or even Wii U releases. It isn’t innovative or adventurous (check out Mario 3D world or Mario Odyssey if that’s what you’re after) but it is THE quintessential, solid, fun and fantastic 2D Mario platformer. It has taken everything that has made the gloriously retro New Super Mario series great and polished it to perfection. A solid addition to anyone’s Switch collection.

It’s great to have a 2D Mario scroller. I grew up with the NES classics and when the New Super Mario games released onto the DS and then Wii I really enjoyed what they did with it. As I refused to purchase a Wii-U I never got to play this version which is why I am glad they ported it to the switch for this reason. It’s worth pointing out that with the deluxe game you also get New Super Luigi U which is a much harder and challenging version of the Mario story line which mixes up the maps with more enemies and harder platforming along with the fact that Luigi handles like melted chocolate. Also you unlock a challenge mode consisting of time attacks, coin collection, 1-up rally and some special levels which all provide the player with hard challenges to complete. The Mario game isn’t too difficult, there are sections that will test you however I managed to get my lives up to 99 pretty quickly and remain with that amount. The later Superstar Road is where the levels really step up in difficulty especially when trying to claim all 3 Star Coins. Speaking of star coins these can be a challenge to find in some levels especially the ghost mansions which have multiple exits. Not only this but there are secret levels to find which also can be difficult to locate and I wouldn’t have looked if it wasn’t for accidentally finding one and being shown the level in the menu system. Some issues I do have with the game come down to Nintendo tropes, I don’t understand why they kept the U in the title and added deluxe, I know it’s a Wii-U port but in honestly who wants to remember where it came from. Nintendo have a habit of explaining things to you constantly, other games will tell you something and then leave you too it but in this game every mushroom you visit you will still have to wait for instructions on how to play and then wait at the end while it tells you, you will be getting an item. This is not only subject to the mushrooms but when you die in a level you are booted out and have to re-enter which all takes time. Why the couldn’t have a try again screen is beyond me! The game itself took around 10 hours to complete and then a further 5-6 finding all the exits and star coins. I couldn’t stop playing it which is obviously a good sign, its what you come to expect from a Mario 2D platformer. Having said that the levels can be pretty samey, it doesn’t mix things up like Odyssey or the 3D Mario games which are head and shoulders better than this but that nostalgia and speed runs make this a fun to play game. Before I finish up I found the multiplayer pretty fun to play although it becomes frustrating really quickly (depending on who you play with) the camera follows the lead player so it’s easy to drop off the screen if you lag behind. You can get that sense of working as a team with the right players but it’s very easy to just go forward and make it difficult for everyone else. In multiplayer the bosses become really easy so if you do struggle on your own, great a trustworthy team. Personally though I prefer to play solo.

Great game would recommend kids love it

Bought this for my daughters birthday
