Nintendo NX: 10 Essential Video Games That Must Be Launch Titles

10. New Super Mario Bros NX

2D Mario has a storied history of outselling 3D Mario, and so it seems decidedly more likely that we'll see a New Super Mario Bros. game at launch rather than a new 3D iteration.

It's a slam dunk, really, considering that the Wii U launched with an entry into the series and it's currently the platform's second-best selling game.

After New Super Mario Bros. U introduced the much-praised Boost Mode (where a second player could use the gamepad to create platforms for the other player), it'll be interesting to see where the currently-unknown nature of the NX's technology takes the franchise.

Either way, it's an incredibly safe bet for launch and is likely to be one of the NX's best selling launch window games.
