MARIO BY NUMBERS
NEW SUPER MARIO U 2012
WII U • GENERAL PRODUCER
While Mario’s first Wii U outing was highly entertaining, there’s a definite sense that the
New Super Mario Bros
series is beginning to feel a little too safe. It’s basically a Mario-gameby-numbers, rarely trying anything new and content with being a completely solid platformer and absolutely nothing more. Of course, any Mario game is usually leaps and bounds ahead of the competition, but we always expect more imagination from the moustachioed plumber. An update was released for the Switch in 2019.
