It took me a long, long while to warm up to the “New” Mario series.
I thought the DS debut was rather stale and devoid of life, but over time it started to prove its mettle. The Wii version was a slight improvement, but it really wasn’t until New Super Mario Bros. 2‘s DLC and New Super Mario Bros. U‘s Luigi expansion that I started to get on board.
With the aforementioned freedom of add-on projects, the New developers are allowed to spread their wings and try new things. New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe on Switch benefits from said ingenuity.
