Every January 2019 Video Game Release Ranked By Anticipation
4. New Super Mario Bros U
Release Date: January 11
Platforms: Switch
Who doesn't love some 2D Mario co-op action?
Strange to think that this is now a niche formula for the massive Mario series, yet it's a great way to blend retro platforming with modern puzzling and action. The recent Wii U iteration got slept on by everyone though (due to the dud of a console).
That won't stop Nintendo and their endless quest to port every worthy title from that DOA machine over to the successful Switch - so we're getting this enticing instalment finally.
Hopefully, it reaches the audience it deserves this time around; there's nothing like four-player co-op mixed with some retro Mario challenge.
