I'm Super Stoked For Super Mario Wonder on Switch

In June 2023, Nintendo held one of their Nintendo Direct broadcasts where they announced a new 2D Side Scrolling adventure for Mario and friends called Super Mario Wonder. Well, I have been super stoked for Super Mario Wonder on Switch since I heard the announcement, and in August 2023 Nintendo held another Direct to feed the hype train. All aboard as I cannot wait to play this game.

Super Mario Bros: Wonder looks like so much fun, and it looks like such a natural progression from New Super Mario Bros. We're getting so many new power-ups and new abilities. I mean Mario gets to become an elephant! For someone with a daughter who loves Mario and elephants, that's a home run! I love the animation style so much, it feels so natural. And while I myself don't like the fact that the Yoshi's and Nabbit are invincible, it will make co-op playing with my 4-year-old a lot easier.

In addition to Super Mario Wonder, Nintendo also took the wraps off a new version of the Switch OLED model. Much like they did with the release of Tears of the Kingdom, Nintendo is releasing a Super Mario Themed Switch OLED right before the game's release. This version is all red, including the dock and joycons. It also has a Mario hidden in the back and coins under the Switch Dock Door. These are neat Easter Eggs, but I would have liked to have a bit more pronounced theming, similar to what Tears of the Kingdom got.

What do you think of the game from what you've seen so far? Do you plan on picking it up? Also, what do you think of the Mario-themed Switch OLED? For me, Super Mario Bros Wonder just looks like it would be a whole lot of fun and I cannot wait to play it in October 2023.
