Super Mario Bros. Wonder Producer Comments on Release Coinciding with Sonic Superstars

The gaming community is abuzz with excitement as Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Sonic Superstars, two highly anticipated 2D side-scrollers, are set to launch in close proximity to each other. With both franchises having a history of going head-to-head, the timing of their releases has sparked curiosity among fans.

The Interesting Coincidence

Takashi Tezuka, the producer of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, recently shared his thoughts on this intriguing situation. In an interview with Game Informer, Tezuka referred to the simultaneous releases as “an interesting coincidence.” He emphasized the long-standing tradition of creating 2D action games and expressed the desire for as many players as possible to enjoy these types of games, whether they be Mario or otherwise.

“I think it’s an interesting coincidence. We’ve been creating 2D action games for a long time and we, of course, want as many players as possible to enjoy those games. We’re looking forward to as many people as possible having the opportunity to play these 2D side-scrolling action games, Mario and otherwise.”

The Return of Mario’s Classic Side-Scrolling Adventure

Super Mario Bros. Wonder marks the return of the beloved plumber to the mainline 2D side-scrolling genre, which hasn’t been seen since the release of New Super Mario Bros. U in 2012. This long-awaited entry is sure to evoke nostalgia among fans who have been eagerly anticipating Mario’s classic side-scrolling adventure.

Sonic’s Recent Success

On the other hand, Sonic fans have had the pleasure of experiencing Sonic Mania in 2017, which brought the iconic blue hedgehog back to his 2D roots. While the wait for a new 2D Sonic adventure hasn’t been as extensive as Mario’s, Sonic Superstars is still generating significant excitement among fans of the franchise.

Which Game Will You Choose?

With both Super Mario Bros. Wonder and Sonic Superstars vying for players’ attention, the question arises: which game will you choose? Will you opt for Mario’s timeless charm or Sonic’s lightning-fast gameplay? Perhaps you’ll decide to embark on both adventures or neither. Let us know in the comments below!
