Super Mario Bros. Wonder is one of the year's best-reviewed games.
With just a couple months left in 2023, the year has been a stacked one for the video game industry, featuring a number of critical and commercial success stories. This week will also see the release of Super Mario Bros. Wonder, and it's clear the Nintendo Switch title will prove a Game of the Year contender. In fact, Super Mario Bros. Wonder's Metacritic score is currently sitting at a 93, putting it ahead of Final Fantasy XVI , Starfield , and Marvel's Spider-Man 2 .
A Banner Year for Nintendo Switch It will be interesting to see how Super Mario Bros. Wonder continues to fare as more reviews come in. At this time, 80 different outlets have weighed-in on the game, with ComicBook.com giving it a 5 out of 5 rating. While 93 is a very impressive Metacritic score, it does come up shy on this year's other massive Nintendo Switch exclusive, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. Link's latest earned a stunning score of 96, putting it well ahead.
It's basically unheard of for a video game console to keep getting exclusives of that caliber after this long on the market, but Switch has been a huge success story for Nintendo. The company has been in no rush to put out a new video game system, as the current one continues to sell quite well. It certainly doesn't hurt that Nintendo has supported the system with a steady stream of software, including AAA experiences as well as smaller games.
Game of the YearDespite the fact that we're already in October, it's not any clearer what title will end up winning the overall Game of the Year from most outlets. Alongside the games previously listed, there have also been AAA titles like Diablo IV and the Dead Space remake, as well as smaller critical darlings like Hi-Fi Rush, Pikmin 4, and Bayonetta Origins; this month will also see the release of Alan Wake II, another highly-anticipated game.
