Have you ever dreamed about a new direction for the Super Mario franchise? I’m not talking about the new direction they tried to go in that god awful Super Mario Bros. movie that my kid loves to make me sit through. I’m think of something maybe more gritty, more realistic, a more HD style of game? Well the talented artist Jonathan Fletcher seems to have had the same kind of vision and decided to make it a bit more of a reality. Unfortunately we don’t have any gameplay video to sink our teeth into, but he did come up with a fully 3d modeled version of both Mario and Luigi and even showed us what the start screen of such a game would look like. Check out the short animated video and 3D renders below.
I don't think I'd let this plumber in the front door.
Y'all need to hide yo kids, hide yo wife, and hide yo husband...
While they look really awesome, I can’t imagine a game where you would run around as these characters for some reason…..
As a developing game design artist, I LOVE this concept! I would play this game, 100% guarantee. I only wish I had thought of this!
