Switch Version For Super Mario 3D World Announced With Bowser’s Fury Added Content, Coming February 2021

As part of a stinging set of rumors that have been circulating around Nintendo since late spring, it was foretold that the firm would be rereleasing a selection of fan-favorite 3D Super Mario titles as part of one singular bundle. Atop of the claim, many suspected the firm could potentially offer the disclosed titles to be offered separately as well. These titles included the likes of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy.

The collection of games just late last month was said to be releasing sometime in a “couple weeks”, told by SpawnWave’s Jonathan Downey. Howbeit, not all titles made it into the cut as of reporting for the collection. While the already aforementioned titles will be shipping as part of the Super Mario 3D All-Stars bundle, other suspected titles will be sold separately.

One being the Wii U-released Super Mario 3D World which was unveiled during today’s Super Mario Direct. Previously being listed on Best Buy for the platform, the game will be returning with a graphical retouching and new content not included in the base game. You can watch the announcement trailer in the video below:

“Pounce and climb through dozens of colorful stages! Mario (and his friends) can use power-ups like the Super Bell, which grants catlike abilities, like climbing and scratching,” the synopsis reads on the game’s eShop page. “Work together locally* or online** with up to three other players to reach the goal…and to see who can get a high score.”

And yes you read that correct, Super Mario 3D World unlike its original Wii U version will now include online play for the first time alongside the originally offered local co-op. In addition to the reiteration of the 2013 title, Nintendo announces there will be a new extension DLC for the game dubbed ‘Bowser’s Fury’.

While not much is illustrated from the announcement, you can catch a glimpse of what to expect from the ending segment of the trailer. Nintendo tells that additional information on Super Mario 3D World and it is presumed the firm will elaborate more on the newly announced add-on as well then.
