Okay, Nintendo. We have to find a way to shorten these titles. I know you're a little burned from the Wii U "marketing" fiasco, but we can go back to normal now. The new Nintendo Switch 2 add on for Super Mario Bros. Wonder is already available for preorder, and will run you $19.99 for the upgrade. The upgrade will include 4K visuals, Game Share, and even a new character, Rosalina.
Bellabel Park will have two new plazas available for more multiplayer action. Attraction Central is where you can get access to the new hotness of two giant plazas full of competitive, co-op, local, and online multiplayer game modes. There are plazas specified for each form of multiplayer. In the local games, you can use Gameshare to send it to up to 3 other systems, or you could just use the controllers all on one screen. In the Game Room plaza, you can also do local wireless, with a game per system, up to 8 players, or up to 12 friends online. Between each plaza, and game mode, there are 17 over all games to play.
The Toad Brigade has different training courses, that can also be played with couch co-op. The Koopalings are also back, and have scattered themselves throughout the levels you may have already played. As you complete levels in the main game, these levels open up in both modes.
Rosalina is also here, and gets the same powerups as Mario and the gang, but not Nabbit or the Yoshi's. With her, comes Luna, which can be used by a second player, and acts as an on screen cursor and collector. You can use Luma to defeat enemies, collect coins and more. SMBWNS2E+MIBP is also adding an assist mode, similar to playing with Yoshi and Nabbit, except you can't be damaged at all, and cannot fall into pits. You know, in case you want to play the game for the story.
There's a lot going for this upgrade. I don't know what the price is if you don't have the game already. If you don't have it, my advice is to either have someone game share it to you for some multiplayer fun, or buy the base game, and buy the upgrade if you want more things. Oh, and if you want your own talking flower from the game, it will set you back $34.99.
The Talking Flower can tell time, will talk to you once an hour if you enable it to, comes in different languages, and will even tell you that it's batteries are low. It'll sell like hotcakes, because it's Nintendo. We just gotta work on these names.
