Few New Additions
A remaster of one of the best Wii U games, some critics feel that it doesn't quite live up to its "deluxe" title. However, this is still a great platformer, especially for those who missed it the first time around.

New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is an enjoyable re-release, but doesn't stand quite as tall next to modern platformers.
One of the best Wii U games gets a wonderful Switch remaster that brings to life its multiplayer mayhem better than ever before.
This platformer was fun on Wii U, and the Deluxe version gives the game a well-earned extra life on Switch
Mario and Luigi are as agile as ever in Nintendo Switch's latest remaster, but they're starting to show their age.
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is an impressive package if you skipped the original, offering the best of modern-era 2D Mario, madcap multiplayer and glimpses of the outrageous invention that was to come in Super Mario Odyssey. Only the most fervent fans will find enough new content here to justify double-dipping, though, especially if you already played the Luigi expansion.
This is definitely its best version thanks to the addition of Toadette. But New Super Mario Bros. U lacks imagination, and bringing it to the Switch doesn’t solve that problem.
For newcomers who haven't experienced it, this is still a very good game; one that's aged well. But for returning players, there just isn't quite enough to warrant another go.
An excellent platformer that is as entertaining as it was almost a decade ago, but that hasn't enought new features to justify another buy if you have already played the game on Wii or -specially- on Wii U.
