Nintendo Switch is an excellent console; there has never been a doubt about it. This hybrid device has had so many excellent titles in its library over the years that it has become increasingly hard to keep track. While many say it’s basically on the last legs of its life cycle, this console continues to add new and unique titles to its name.

Nintendo announced one such game during their recent Direct. This game is none other than the newly announced Super Mario Bros. Wonder. It’s Mario’s return to the 2D plane, and some think it will once again bring retro fever to Nintendo fans. Would it, though?

Would Super Mario Bros. Wonder push Nintendo Switch owners on a nostalgia trip?

When Nintendo was going about its business of releasing excellent remasters such as Metroid Prime, no one in their wildest dreams thought they would see a new 2D Mario game. A 2D Mario game that is so wild that it might force people to rethink what they had ever imagined was possible with such a title.

But Nintendo gave everyone a literal shock with the announcement of Wonder. It’s a game that takes players on a ride through a world that they can alter according to their requirements. The powerups are another level of crazy, and enemies do not play by the rules set by the classics. For anyone wondering, this upcoming game is nothing like those classic Super Mario titles. In fact, this game might even be a literal deconstruction of that formula.

Recent Rumors Suggest a New Nintendo Switch Bundle Dropping Along With Super Mario Wonder

Now the question arises: would it reignite that fire for retro gaming in Nintendo fans? No, it’s not a game that is meant to do any such thing; in fact, it’s a game that seeks to push or even break the boundaries set by those titles.

If there’s a game that might make fans feel nostalgic though, it’s Super Mario RPG Remake. That is the game people would play to remember the good old days. Maybe they would even buy one of those classic collections on the Switch store.

Nostalgia is fueled by things that are from the past or that hold remnants of the past. A game as brash as Super Mario Bros. Wonder is not made to make fans nostalgic. It is made to attract new fans and blow away longtime fans by showing them something wildly different.

For those wondering, this game will be launched in October 2023. Fans are eager for its launch, and so are we. It’s been a while since a new 2D Mario Bros. game has launched.
