        i think this is what most people dislike about the nuwonder mario because it looks like a calarts student trying hard to trace an original artist's work from decades ago. it's blatant pandering to retrogays but nobody is biting except the reddit and twitter goys who eat the slop

          I'm biting because at the very least they give a shit beyond just finishing the product.
          Are we really supposed to be mad because they tried beyond the bare minimum? Like, the team COULD have just made another shovelware 2D Mario game but they wanted to inject some love into it. Whether they borrow from retro stuff or not I think it has some semblance of soul.

            Apparently yes we are. Which is fricking dumb because as you said they could have just done New Soup again.
            I haven't seen anyone really complain about the style choice either except for some that say it looks a bit too 'weird' and 'wacky'.
            Honestly the whole argument feels like it's just to farm (You).

            Personally, I don’t have any special problem with the design choices, I just call them for what they are. Deliberate and uninspired checking of boxes is better than only doing the bare minimum, I’m just not gonna sit here in slack-jawed YouTube thumbnail awe and post LETS GOOOOOOOO like a fricking moron because the market research team finally figured out “small touches of character personality increase sales”

          I would much rather the art style have blatant pandering to retrogays than New Super Fluoride Stare. The real issue that nobody is talking about because there's much less to go off of is if the level design is going to be that much different because the Wonder Flower is basically Touch Fuzzy Get Dizzy 2.0.

    Soul just means the developers were passionate about their work and were granted the creative liberties to make something truly their own.
    Soulless means the developers either didn't care, or were pressured by the company into producing a half-baked by-the-numbers product that appeals to the masses but not to the hearts of fans.

    Prove me wrong.

      I thinkin addition to your points, technology encompasses it to a large scale.
      When you're limited by the tools you have that causes you to be more creative to find a working solution.
      With current technology there is hardly any limit so there's no need to be creative.

    Once upon a time, in the enchanting realm of video games, there existed a legendary franchise known as Super Mario Bros. For decades, it captured the hearts and souls of players with its whimsical worlds, memorable characters, and exhilarating gameplay. Mario's adventures took players on soulful journeys filled with wonder and genuine excitement. However, amidst the ever-evolving gaming landscape, a new title emerged: Super Mario Bros. Wonder™.

    At first glance, Super Mario Bros. Wonder™ appeared to be a dazzling spectacle. Its graphics were meticulously polished, with vibrant colors and stunning details. The game flaunted its self-awareness, peppering every level with references and nods to its own legacy. Yet, as players delved deeper into this digital realm, something felt amiss.

    Gone was the pure, unadulterated soul that had infused the earlier Mario games. Instead, Super Mario Bros. Wonder™ seemed to be a victim of its own desire to impress. Its every pixel screamed for attention, but it lacked the genuine heart that had made its predecessors so endearing. It was a game meticulously crafted to mimic soulfulness, but ultimately, it fell short.

    The levels, while visually captivating, lacked the organic charm that once characterized Mario's universe. The environments were meticulously designed, yet they lacked the whimsical spontaneity that had made players feel like they were stepping into a living, breathing world. The once-beloved characters had lost their genuine depth and became caricatures of their former selves, delivering predictable catchphrases and lacking the soulful essence that players had come to adore.

    As players journeyed through Super Mario Bros. Wonder™, they couldn't help but feel that they were being force-fed a manufactured soul. It was as if the game tried desperately to convince them of its wonder, yet it felt hollow, like an echo of what once was.

      Because it's a moronic phrase that really makes no sense.
      The game either has soul because the developers generally wanted to make a good game and put as much love as they could into it.
      Or it's soulless due to being incredibly corporate, bland and uninspired, purely to make ends meet with 0 passion behind it.
      There is nothing else and trying to make forced soul a thing is forced.

    This entire “forced soul” thing is hilarious to me. It reeks of people who put all of their stock into using the subjective concept of “soul” as legitimate criticism against games they don’t like, suddenly having to confront the idea that a game they don’t like might fall under their predefined concept of “soul,” and, instead of admitting it, are scrambling to find some other way to justify their disdain

      Anyone who has ever said "graphics don't matter" it a know-nothing nitwit. Graphics, like sound design, are incredibly important. What doesn't matter is the nebulous concept of everything being as high fidelity as possible for no reason other than being able to say that your game pushes 9.8 Terashits per Megafart of raytracing power who 4.8 quadrillion megatexture tesselation. It's needless wanking over shit that doesn't matter and almost never has any actual thought or artistic intent behind it.

      Those sentences are consistent with each other, I know you want to do the bit where I go graphics =/= _____ and you go "your reddit gold good sir" but you have to try harder than this, man.

    That's not something you can force you fricking morons.

    If you think this is "forced soul", then let's see you guys animate it correctly, do the inverse of that Mario hat flopping animation and tone Wonder Mario down.

    You "forced soul" Black folk are moronic and genuinely just want to complain about new thing. It's the most charming looking mainline Mario game we've gotten since the birth of the DS and yes 'Im counting Odyssey and Mario Galaxy.

    The Flower Kingdom had better either be the capital of Sarasaland, an ally of Sarasaland or just another part of Sarasaland. Daisy better not have had her empire downgraded to a single Kingdom.

      that's just the first level welcoming the players to the new kingdom, which is the entire game

        I’m saying this new Kingdom better not replace Sarasaland as Daisy’s home.

          Why would that be the case?
          The Fire Kingdom doesn't stop being Bowser's when he's busy fighting somewhere else, nor does the paranormal dimension stop being ruled by King Boo when he's stuck in the Poltergust.

    why do people keep pretending forced soul isn't a real definable term?

      What's the definition, and how does it apply to Super Mario Bros Wonder?

    Forced soul is absurd definition. It's like thinking there are more than 2 genders. Game can only be either soulful or soulless. What is truly forced in this whole debate is a "forced soul" meme itself.
