Poll: Who Will You Be Playing As In Super Mario Bros. Wonder?

Go on, tell us.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder will continue the trend of simultaneous multiplayer platforming in the world of Super Mario and this time it’s rolling with quite possibly the biggest roster ever, made up of not only Mario and co, but also a number of extras.

Nintendo recently asked fans on social media what character they would be picking first in this new Switch exclusive when it arrives next month, so we thought we would ask a similar question to our community here on Nintendo Life, and add a poll while we’re at it to see who might even end up being the most popular character.

Poll: Hasn’t Nintendo Always Been An ‘Entertainment’ Company?

Let Mii entertain you.

The times are a-changin’ for Nintendo, it seems. Nobody would doubt that the company has been video game-focused for the past few decades, but with theme parks, movies, and mobile apps popping up all over the place, it seems that the Big-N is moving in a slightly different direction.

This was echoed by Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser in a recent interview with the Washington Post, in which he stated that Nintendo is now “evolving into being an entertainment company with gaming as a nucleus of the overall business model.” This will come as no surprise to many of us — you can’t walk through town without seeing Mario DVDs, toys, and LEGO sets at the moment — and having put all of its hardware eggs in one basket by uniting its handheld and home console lines with Switch, diversification into arenas beyond the creation of video game systems and software makes sense.
