Here, we see Nintendo try out some new, unexpected ideas that feel remarkably fresh - and it's impressive enough to stand alone as its own game. Offering a perfect mix of 2D and 3D Mario design concepts, Super Mario 3D World gets a new lease of life on the console hybrid, not least because of the inclusion of an all-new game - Bowser's Fury. After all, many argued that the only reason Super Mario 3D World isn’t widely considered to be one of the best Super Mario games ever made is that it was released on the largely doomed Wii U.First released back in 2013 on Wii U, one of the ill-fated platform's greatest games has transitioned across gracefully to Nintendo Switch. Ever since Nintendo started porting Wii U games to the Nintendo Switch to great success ( Mario Kart 8 is still the best-selling Switch game ever as of the time of this writing), people have wondered when Super Mario 3D World would come to the console.

Since we don’t know much about Bowser’s Fury at the moment, let’s focus on Super Mario 3D World for a second. In any case, Nintendo says that they’ll reveal more information about Bower’s Fury in the coming months. The brief teaser we see of the expansion suggests that it’s an alternate universe companion/soft sequel to the base game that focuses on Bowser, but it feels safe to say that the expansion will at least add new levels to the game. The game will also feature both local and online multiplayer options, which is great considering that so much of the fun of this game comes from its multiplayer mode.Īs for Bowser’s Fury…well, that’s a bit of a mystery at the moment. The visuals and audio will be slightly enhanced so take advantage of the Switch’s capabilities, but this is not a remake, so don’t expect major upgrades. To get the technical stuff out of the way, it sounds like this remaster will include all of the usual stuff that we’ve come to expect from such ports. The collection is currently set to be released on February 12, 2021, but Nintendo notes that complications caused by the COVID-19 pandemic could force a delay of all their intended release dates.

Super Mario 3D World is finally being ported to the Nintendo Switch alongside a mysterious expansion known as Bowser’s Fury.
