"Best buy" ever! I am definitely coming back to make a best buy.

Not my favorite Mario game by a long shot, but reasonably entertaining and kills time at the airport and on the plane.

It’s really fun, i just wish it had more levels since i already beat most of it! But overall fun game :)

Got it during Christmas time, it’s a great deal, perfect Christmas gift for the fam.

Excellent condition ...no problem whatsoever..will buy again

Great game. Make me a Mario fan! Enjoy the time played with my friend.

Its similar to WiiU Mario. Could of been different, but still a decent game.

"New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe" for the Nintendo Switch offers a fantastic and comprehensive 2D Mario platforming experience, especially if you missed it on the Wii U. It's essentially two games in one: the original "New Super Mario Bros. U" and its substantial, harder expansion, "New Super Luigi U." **What I loved:** * **Classic Mario Gameplay, Polished for Switch:** The core platforming is as tight and enjoyable as ever. Mario's signature jump feels perfect, and the level design is consistently creative, offering a satisfying blend of familiar tropes and clever new obstacles. It's a testament to Nintendo's mastery of the 2D platforming genre. * **Huge Amount of Content:** You're getting 164 courses across both main games, plus additional modes like Challenges, Boost Rush, and Coin Battle. This provides a tremendous amount of replayability, whether you're aiming for 100% completion or just want to jump in for a quick burst of fun. * **Accessible to All Skill Levels:** The inclusion of new playable characters like Toadette (who transforms into Peachette with the Super Crown, offering a helpful double jump and recovery from falls) and Nabbit (who takes no damage from enemies) makes the game incredibly approachable for younger or less experienced players. Meanwhile, "New Super Luigi U" provides a much stiffer challenge for veterans with its shorter, faster, and trickier levels. * **Great for Multiplayer:** The game truly shines in co-op. Up to four players can join in with just a single Joy-Con each, leading to hilariously chaotic and often collaborative gameplay. It's a perfect party game for friends and family. * **Portable 2D Mario:** Being able to take this extensive 2D Mario adventure on the go with the Switch's handheld mode is a significant plus. **Things to consider:** * **Familiar Formula:** If you've played other "New Super Mario Bros." titles, the game doesn't drastically reinvent the wheel. It adheres closely to the established formula of grass worlds, desert worlds, ice worlds, etc. While the level design is strong, it might feel a bit "safe" compared to the more experimental 3D entries like "Super Mario Odyssey." * **Not Many New Additions for Wii U Owners:** If you played "New Super Mario Bros. U" and "New Super Luigi U" extensively on the Wii U, the "Deluxe" version doesn't offer a huge amount of brand-new content outside of the new characters and some minor tweaks. **Overall:** "New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe" is a must-have for any Nintendo Switch owner who missed out on the Wii U original. It's a robust, incredibly fun, and highly polished 2D platformer with tons of content and excellent multiplayer. While it might not break new ground for the series, it perfects the classic formula, making it a fantastic addition to your Switch library.

I’m usually picky about Mario games, but this is a good one with many features. Including multiplayer, lotta characters to choose from and even two characters for younger players that help them with assistance. it might even come with a second game super Luigi U

This was the Wii U's big launch game in 2012. I played through it then, along with New Super Luigi U expansion that followed later, and 100-percented both of them. They were equal parts fun and frustrating, due to Nintendo's pixel-perfect stage design and propensity for devious challenge. Nothing about this game exactly reinvents the Super Mario Bros. formula, but that's not a bad thing, because these games are always clever and fun, and knowing what you're in for makes it easy to jump right in and know exactly what you're doing. Re-playing this game seven years after its initial release, I still found myself unable to put it down until I'd completely finished it. The inclusion of the New Super Luigi U DLC gives you an extremely challenging experience to jump into once the core game is finished, its shorter but much more difficult levels always beckoning you back to try again after repeated failures. Competing this part of the game is a satisfying and cathartic experience. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe may not be a necessary purchase for those who owned and played it for the Wii U, but it's still a solid game that has been given a second chance at life on the much more successful Switch, and that's a win for everybody. Having a version that you can take with you on the go is a definite added bonus, since it's a game that can easily be played in short bursts and lends itself well to the portable format.

Yes, the graphics are the somewhat childlike Mario fare, but the game itself is solid and definitely challenging, even for an adult player like me. Months on, I’ve still not finished everything. I’ve seen those Mario Maker videos with astonishingly hard levels and this isn’t quite to that level, but for a more casual player like me there were still plenty of levels that took me awhile to finish and even longer to nail every collectible. Your mileage may vary, but at least in my opinion, this is not a game that suffers for being too easy. It’s closer to the opposite. As usual, Nintendo knows what they’re doing!

I bought this as the first game to go with the Nintendo Switch Lite for my daughter. It offers all the original characters that I used back when I played but also includes several new features that scale the difficulty down to fit the skill/age of new players. The first feature I loved was the addition of new characters that provide an "easier + easiest" game experience with Toadette + Nibbett. They allow players to make a few mistakes and not have to start over, like with the traditional Mario + Luigi characters. The second new feature I loved is the watch + learn gameplay tutorials that are built in to the game itself. If the game sees that you are struggling with completing a level, it will automatically ask you if you'd like to watch your character go through the level as a watch + learn function... pretty neat. The result is less frustration and a more positive + fun experience because inclusivity features were built into the experience from the beginning. I'd highly recommend this game to anyone, regardless of skill level or prior gaming experience. Two thumbs up.

Honestly a very fun game kept my girlfriend in entertained so that i can play my games

The game is so much fun. Very nostalgic. It’s funny because I am terrible at it, but still love it. I am determined to improve!

If you hadn't played New Super Mario Bros U + New Super Luigi U (we'll call it NSMBU+NSLU) when it launched on the Wii U then this is a great time to experience the game in full 1080p. Like most other Wii U to Switch ports this game now runs at 1080p on TV and 720p handheld. On Wii U it ran at 720p on TV and 480p in handheld. The other new additions have been the replacement of blue Toad with options for Toadette (aka Peachette with the super crown) and Nabbit who doesn't take damage from enemies. If you played through on Wii U it was a fun game but now with Nabbit a younger player can have fun playing with a group of more experienced players. Also Peachette can fall it pits and bounce back up once per fall. So the new player options are great. Not to mention the New Super Luigi U DLC being included that was $20 more than the base $60 when it released after the original game. If you've played through the game once there isn't really any new content aside from the two new player choices. Old modes return including challenges where you can play as a Mii character. So I can recommend NSMBU+NSLU Deluxe but your level of enjoyment can vary. On the one hand not many experienced this game on Wii U so it's great to have a true Mario side scrolling adventure on Switch.

I got this game for my 4-year-old son, but it's enjoyable for the whole family. Mario and Luigi mainstay characters are usable for those who want the nostalgia of some of the classic Super Mario Bros games, and characters Toad and Nabbitt are available for more novice players (such as a 4-year-old). I would highly recommend this game if you own a Switch.

Fun game. On the Super Mario Bros. you get new levels in a similar format to older editions of the game. In the Luigi game it's essentially a shortened version of the other game with a shorter time limit and the characters jump higher but slide more (more likely to slide off) which is an interesting twist to the original game. Toadette and Nabbit have been added to this edition of the game (both Mario and Lugie) to make the game easier for younger players or players who have a tendency to die a lot (me). Toadette has higher jumps, has an exclusive upgrade to princess peach (better/higher jumps), and has better controls when swimming (you don't have to constantly push a button to swim/keep afloat). Toadette can also use the other items such as shoot fire and ice. Nabbit on the other hand only really dies if he falls but he can't use any items. Overall, it was fun to play through, challenging enough to keep the more serious gamers interested while having easier characters to help get the more casual players through without dying so often (if you die they give you 5 more lives but if you're by yourself or if everyone looses all of their lives you have to start over at the last castle you won).

The game is fun and easy to play. My young child really enjoys the game because you can always continue, and if a level is too hard it can be skipped with a run through. I haven't tried all the features yet but the ones I have are fun and interesting. All in all it has the old retro feel with a newer modern skin.

disclaimer: I wasn't the biggest fan of New Super Mario Bros. Wii. It was a fine game, but it didn't click for me. So when I saw the sequel, I was hesitant. I picked it up on sale, and I can safely say this fixed most of my problems with the original game. NSMBUD (what an absolutely terrible name) plays like a sequel to Mario Bros. 3. It's the 2D Mario game I never knew I wanted. A few negative points worth mentioning: As with basically all modern nintendo games, there are completely pointless motion controls that should have been mapped to a controller. But it's Nintendo, so they aren't. Make sure you have at least one motion controller (joy-cons, pro controller, etc) or you won't be able to move some platforms. the Luigi game plays like a nintendo-made rom hack. It had a lot of promise, but Luigi's physics are absolutely terrible. Coupled with an extreme increase in difficulty, I absolutely can not recommend that half of the game. It would be fine if Luigi controlled sensibly, but he doesn't. Wasted potential Overall, worth it for the Mario half alone.

Awesome addition to the Mario family of games! A mix of the old world feel with a whole lot of new fun and ideas!
