There's a lot of talk about how New Super Mario Bros U brings a lot back from SMW and takes a lot of influence from said game (and it does, see the picture below)...
But am I the only one who thinks New Super Mario Bros 2 is even closer? I mean, it's got everything you'd ever expect from Super Mario World. Like the Koopalings:
Who seem to be fought the same way as in Super Mario World:
And Reznor, the mini boss who ONLY appeared in Super Mario World:
Hell, it even has the same background style in some levels!
The overworld looks more linear, NSMB and SMB 3 elements are common and other stuff looks different, but you have to at least admit it certainly challenges New Super Mario Bros U for 'the game most like Super Mario World' title, right?
The only thing that's let to see is whether the Wii U game also has Reznor, the Koopalings and the Koopa Clown Car...
What do you think?
