Insider reports claim that New Super Mario Bros. U will be coming to the Switch

new-super-mario-bros-u-keyart-1.jpg

Though the Wii U wasn't the most successful console to exist, there were still some notable games that released on the platform, such as Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, all of which received Switch versions. And according to some insider sources, another port of a Wii U title might be headed to the Nintendo Switch once more. Publication Comic Book started the "leak", by claiming their sources, who had previously leaked the existence of Mario & Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, knew of the existence of a port of New Super Mario Bros. U. Supposedly, this hypothetical version of the game will come packed in with New Super Luigi U as well, and there would be new content included. Usually, when such claims are made, Eurogamer and Kotaku will step in, but neither have provided further information at this time. Liam Robertson, the one who made the report, has been responsible for mildly credible rumors in the past, though he's had some incorrect ones as well, and it's been confirmed that he does indeed have an insider source working at Nintendo of Europe.

3ds is not switch or wiiu and they never ported it.

also selling well doesnt make much diference really.

splatoon sold well and they made a sequel instead of port.
xenoblades sold ok and they made a sequel instead of port.
smash sold well and we got a sequel instead of a port.
Because, all those games got sequels, Nintendo tries to do once a year thing, to not oversaturate(which sounds funny when talking about Nintendo) a game. Also, Splatoon and Smash made their counterparts inferior.

I honestly don't really care that much since porting a game is probably easy and doesn't cost a lot of resources. That aside, I really hope this doesn't kill the idea of an original 2D Mario game, since I would love to see one soon.

NSMBU is the best out of the series, in my opinion though other people say it isn't mostly because of how stale the series has become over the years.
its the worst one by far nsmb ds and wii are amazing, the 3ds one is pretty crappy so is this one, fr me the wii one is by far the best one.

Comes as no surprise Nintendo recycling the same games.

Why Nintendo rely on gimmicks to make it's consoles sell, forget the gimmicks and you see the same shit that's been on all systems before it, and then see third party is limited or no that all... So far it's limited again or old ports of ps3/360 or delayed ports.

Well done nintendont lets hear you promise better support for the 5th time when you release your next last ten revamp console.

What would be really cool is if they used the "New" engine or what ever they call it, to create a MarioVania Adventure title instead of the level based routine we are used to. Or, do an over world map, with separate levels in there own areas with area theme etc. But you have to back track once you have certain power ups (which you don't loose if injured), etc. etc. It really gave the Wonder Boy series the kick in the butt it needed, and I can see it being every bit as fun within the Mario universe.

I'm still surprised they're not announcing or releasing Wonderful 101. It's a great game. It's pretty much obvious they're releasing every game Wii U had. I hope they're going to do it soon. ;) Or a sequel or whatever.

Meh .. In itself, I don't mind. It barely takes any resources, so it's not like there's anything lost.
It would however, be a pretty lazy attempt. I mean ... Creating a 2D Mario game is so easy that there's even a game about the editor. If anything: levels created therein should be able to inspire even better levels..

I'd rather we see a new one. I actually quite like the New Super Mario Bros. games. I find them fsr more difficult than the more recent 3D Mario games. Though I've only played NSMB and NSMB Wii.

I never got around to buying and playing New Super Mario Bros on my wii u and I might pick it up when it comes out because of the portability. I’m still hoping that they will port over Tokyo Mirage Sessons to the switch. I own it on my wii u, but I would gladly pay for it again.

the only way i see this coming is FREE WITH NETWORK SUBSCRIPTION. I owned the wiiu deluxe edition with super luigi u and it was still just as boring. I think its because the music was so repetitive and bland i didnt feel anything wrong with the gameplay though.

Boy, oh boy,
Nintendo now goes too far with porting over games. Recently, a lot of people conplained about how the NSMB-series didn't age very well and how some of them come off as "lame".
But if they want to make a "lame" game, al least announce a new game with new things.
Porting over this game with 2 or 3 new small things is lazy and is a way Nintendo can make a few quick bucks.

Nintendo, if this rumour is true, please cancel it.

Another worthless port for first time players only, what about us who owned the WiiU? Think we want to buy the same crap over and over again.
Mk8 releasing twice in a row was bad enough, now this along with all the other worthless ports.

Killing Rom sites/gaming history, releasing the same games over and over again and wanting you to pay for online for their old, small library of games?
Screw Nintendo
