Apparently, New Super Mario Bros. U will get a "Deluxe" port for the Nintendo Switch. According to Liam Robertson, New Super Mario Bros. U will be updated and re-released for Nintendo Switch. Will also include New Super Luigi U, and all-new content.

Sources connected to Nintendo of Europe, who have provided accurate information in the past on games like Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, began to suggest that a port of NSMBU was in the works.

I'm getting tired of all these Wii U ports.
 
How about an original 2D Mario with 2D graphics instead

If there's gonna be a NSMB port though, I don't see why not just have New Super Mario Allstars with all the NSMB games.
 
Well, this is nothing to get excited for, tbh
 
Can we get an official Switch port of Newer Super Mario Bros.? No? We get a port of that cookie-cutter Wii U game no one asked for? Okay.
 
I really want a New Super Mario Bros. Switch, not a port. I really want Peach to be playable. There is no goddamn excuse, especially since Super Mario Run managed to implement her and also StupidMarioBros1Fan went through the trouble of actually implementing her in NSMB Wii in a mod. It is possible because Super Mario Run did it and also because Peach was playable in Smash Bros games since Smash Bros Melee and Brawl.

Before Super Mario Run was released, I thought it would be impossible to have Peach due to being complex to implement her dress similarly to how Konami found it really difficult to implement Maria Renard in Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles for the PSP due to her wearing a dress in Rondo of Blood (which is what Dracula X Chronicles is a remake of) in which they had to make sacrifices by giving her pantaloons and whatnot but man was I shocked that Peach was playable and my jaw dropped. It was a miracle that it was possible even on weaker hardware that's probably weaker than a Wii U. But man was I wrong all along. Peach was already playable in Smash Bros. Melee on the GameCube and Brawl also had her and it was also possible on the Wii due to the Wii being a beefed up GameCube. And I was even shocked by StupidMarioBros1Fan mod which my jaw also dropped. It was also a miracle. Nintendo was being lazy all along and they had the balls to make her playable in Super Mario Run.

In addition, I don't want Peach to be kidnapped. I want another princess be captured or have the Sprixie Princesses reprise their role from 3D World. Seriously, the Peach being kidnapped plot is already old and monotonous at this point and I don't want no more of this, especially after Odyssey and its ending. As the AVGN said, "Some franchises get done to death. You can't keep beating the same thing into the ground. You can't do the same thing all the time or else it gets old but every now and then it's good to bring it back".

If the port does happen, they better replace Yellow Toad with either Wario or Waluigi and have Peach playable after being rescued along with Daisy. If Super Mario Run was able to have Peach be playable after being rescued then so can a port of NSMBU. It should be a straightforward process especially after they did the things in SMR.
 
Technical capability has absolutely no bearing on how hardware will render an animation. That aspect is entirely on the artist and how many frames allocated to making it look good.

It's simply just cloth physics in general being a huge pain in the ass to implement and the developers feel like it would be a better use of their time to make such sacrifices to focus on more important stuff like say how the game would play than some aesthetics that are very difficult to emulate through sprites/3D models. Updated technology has made it easier to simulate cloth, but the hardware you're referring to (the game hardware) is not the one I'm talking about.
 
I'm taking this with a grain of salt. But I am strongly against the idea of porting this. Not only is this another Wii U port that attacks its legacy even more, but it basically deconfirms NSMB Switch.

Please don't do this and just make NSMB Switch, Nintendo.

Yeah, technology evolves over time with newer engines and whatnot and the use of more modern versions of APIs like DirectX and OpenGL among other things. Same with GPUs in both consoles and PCs.

I understand that it was difficult for Sakurai to animate Peach's dress in the Smash Bros games in general. I can also feel the pain that StupidMarioBros1Fan has to go through in animating Peach and Daisy's dress for his NSMBWii mod. It's not hardware that's the problem. It's about how to get the cloth physics to work properly.

Me too. I want NSMB Switch and I will want it only if they make Peach playable and not kidnapped. Ports like these are just lame when people really want a new title.
 
I'm honestly 100% skeptical. NSMBU would never be ported to Switch. Why? Each console since the DS had their own, ORIGINAL, NSMB title. I really don't think Nintendo is dumb enough to do this!

Then again, if they are, they won't be selling this to me. I played both the original and NSLU. I don't need it again.
 
For some (and I include me) NSMBU is the only NSMB game they haven't played. So, if I get a Switch and this comes out for the Switch, then it would be possible for me to play this. I may not speak for all fans who haven't played NSMBU but have all others. But, I would just be as happy as if this was a new game instead. As for the idea for all NSMB games in one, I'm not quite as fond of the idea, but it would be cool to see. True for NSMBU itself with or without the others, considering there is a New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U for the Wii U already.
