Super Mario Bros. 35th Anniversary Direct

[JWeinCom]

The Mario Kart thing is great. Not for me, but if I were a kid I'd have loved it.

All Stars is a little underwhelming for me. I would have liked a full on modernization. 60 dollars is a bit steep for me for 3 games.

3D World is great for those who didn't own the Wii U. Incredibly underrated game. I actually like it better than Odyssey. But as someone who did own a Wii U, it's hard to get too excited. Personally I'd prefer it if Bowser's Rage or w/e either didn't exist or is sold as a stand alone. The other Wii U ports didn't add anything that made me feel like I was missing out for not purchasing.

Mario 35 is interesting. Never got into these battle royale things that are all the rage. Seems to chaotic for me. But, if it's free, I'll check it out. Not sure why it's limited time.

Game and Watch thing is a really near collectible. Dunno if it's neat enough for 50 bucks.

Most interesting thing to me is that they're dropping this only a few weeks after the announcement. That seems to be Nintendo's new strategy in general. Dunno if it's still a corona thing or that's just what they do now. September release date makes me sort of hopeful that something bigger will be announced for the holidays, and I can't figure out what that might be. Of course, it could be nothing. Nintendo is strange these days.
