Nintendo Download: Mario Delivers Two Hair-Raising Adventures!

Super Mario fans, get ready because the Switch edition of Super Mario 3D World is here, as well as Little Nightmares II, and a bunch of smaller releases.

The neo-classic returns

I’m a pretty big Super Mario fan. For me, I don’t think there’s been a better Mario adventure in recent years than Super Mario 3D World. And yes, I include Odyssey in that.

Super Mario 3D World originally launched on the Wii U, and captured all of the fun of Super Mario adventures, combined with 3D gameplay. It was fantastic, and now it’s back for another go, this time on the Switch.

Of course, this being Nintendo, there’s a title bit of new to go along with the terrific original. That comes in the form of Bowser’s Fury, a new open-world trip through the Mushroom Kingdom, that’ll have Mario face-to-face with a monstrous kaiju-sized King of the Koopas. It’s pretty easily the spotlight game of the week on the Download.

But of course, it’s not alone. Also out or coming up shortly are games like Little Nightmares II, Undermine, Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV, and a whole mess of indies.

Scroll down to check it out.
