UK software sales for the week ending October 21, 2023
Posted on 6 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The latest UK software sales chart for the week ending October 21, 2023 is now available.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder debuts at #2. With sales that are slightly higher than New Super Mario Bros. Wii, it’s the biggest 2D Mario game launch in UK history. For the franchise overall, only Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario 3D All-Stars did better, but only by a little. One interesting tidbit is that Super Mario Bros. Wonder didn’t come close to Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom as the former’s launch sales are 62 percent lower, but it’s worth pointing out that Mario games are long-term sellers.

Today, we’re going over a detailed list of requirements in Super Mario Bros. Wonder for 100 percent completion. We won’t have any story or picture spoilers here, but we will briefly discuss the reward you receive for full completion – which some may view as being a little underwhelming.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder dropped just a few days ago, and many of its most dedicated players are already working on fully completing the game. Some of the later levels definitely get tough, but this actually isn’t as tall of an order as it sounds. If you complete every single level and collect all the goodies along the way, full 100 percent completion should take somewhere between 20 and 25 hours.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder devs took inspiration from how 3D Mario games are made

In Nintendo’s latest interview for Super Mario Bros. Wonder, the team spoke about taking inspiration from how 3D Mario games are made.
Producer Takashi Tezuka spoke about a “crisis” as the project began stemming from the thought that 2D Mario games might be too tough for some to complete. Tezuka said the team “started to think about what we could do to make players want to advance”. This led to Nintendo considering more freedom and using 3D Mario titles “as a reference point”, according to designer Koichi Hayashida.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder originally had live commentary with optional Tsundere version
Posted on 6 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
The developers behind Super Mario Bros. Wonder have revealed that the game originally had live commentary, and players would be able to choose between a “generic” voice or a Tsundere version. That news was shared in an official interview that went up today.
Game designer Koichi Hayashida said that Nintendo spent around six months of serious development on the concept. During the game, players would be able to hear voices that matched their actions. But the idea ultimately didn’t feel right to the team and there would have been a lot of work involved for voice variations. The original concept was scrapped, but the idea lives on with the Talking Flowers.
