One has to hope this means that Ubisoft really took player feedback into account because I’m sure we all remember how rough that game looked.

Super Mario 3D is a great game to play solo or with friends and shows off some of Nintendo’s best level design yet, while Bowser’s Fury is an inventive take on the Mario formula that’s more generous with its content than it ought to be. Both games make for a fantastic bundle and should be checked out by fans and non-fans alike.

Knowing what I know about its core mechanics, it’s also to be admired for just …
