Today is the day folks as we are just minutes away from this morning’s Super Mario Bros. Wonder Nintendo Direct presentation. As promised, Nintendo is set to host a dedicated stream featuring its upcoming 2D side-scrolling Mario adventure, giving us our first look at the title beyond the debut trailer we saw back in June alongside the Super Mario RPG remake and Sonic Superstars trailers. Head below for more details on the game and to follow along with today’s Super Mario Bros. Wonder Nintendo Direct stream.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder Nintendo Direct stream
In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, “classic Mario side-scrolling gameplay is turned on its head with the addition of Wonder Flowers.” Nintendo says these game-changing items trigger “spectacular moments you have to see to believe” – pipes come alive, players can wreak havoc as a giant spike-ball, while unworldly effects take hold of the game world.
Playable characters, including Mario, Luigi, Peach, Daisy, Yoshi, and Toad, can transform with new power-ups like the now internet-famous Elephant Mario. But we’ll have to wait to see if there are any other new power-ups shown off in today’s presentation.
Nintendo is set to deliver 15 minutes straight of nothing but Super Mario Bros. Wonder today ahead of the October 20, 2023 release date – pre-orders are now live – and it all starts shortly. Follow along below:
