Super Mario Bros. Wonder almost had running ‘live’ commentary, like a sports game.
Nintendo has released the final part of its Ask the Developer interview for the game, which includes discussion of live commentary that was ultimately scrapped.
“Tezuka-san also once asked, ‘Can’t we have live commentary?’. I had absolutely no clue what he meant. But I interpreted it as a desire for a new experience, even if it’s not necessarily in the form of live commentary,” said Shiro Mouri, the game’s director.
