Not only that, but enjoyable for all ages. They pay extra attention to details, and think about the experience from different age groups. For example on Super Mario Bros on Switch, when playing multiplayer you can tap both L+R to put your character in a safe bubble that floats and follows the rest of the players. This allows younger players to flee to safety in really difficult parts of levels, while older players can help them navigate to the next area before popping their bubble and bringing them back into the game. Such a small detail, but makes a massive difference when you're playing with the game with younger kids.
- xnx 3y agoExactly! Lots of shouting "bubble! bubble!" when playing that game with my friends of different video game skill levels.
- artificialLimbs 3y agoIt's great. 3D world had a helpful out for the young 'uns in the White Tanooki suit that appeared when you died enough times. =)
- Fuzzwah 3y agoI've played so much Super Mario Bros on the Wii with my young kids and the bubble mechanic is excellent. We've just started playing SMB Wonder on Switch and one of the changes is that it's no longer a bubble but sort of like a shooting star and you no longer need to manually trigger it. The new Nabbit character is also something that was added in the Wii-U game. This character isn't harmed by enemies, so can just run around only worried about environmental dangers. To balance this out, Nabbit can't pick up any power ups. It's a neat idea that returns again in Wonder, but now with more characters to select from you're not forced to have one of 4 players using it.
