Episode Details

This week on The Next Take Podcast, Canadian host Mikel is joined by a surprise guest, RJ, while Tanyka takes a break. They discuss Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder, noting that it has been a great year for games. They also share their predictions for 2023 Game of the Year and debate digital media versus physical copies.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 vs. Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Two major releases arrived on the same day—October 20, 2023—but offered completely different experiences. Spider-Man 2 brought Peter Parker and Miles Morales together for a massive superhero adventure, while Super Mario Bros. Wonder reinvented classic 2D Mario with creative new mechanics and the unpredictable Wonder Flowers.

We compare both games, discuss their gameplay, creativity, presentation, replay value, and overall impact, and debate which one delivered the stronger experience. We also look back at the 2023 Game of the Year race, sharing our predictions and discussing whether Spider-Man, Mario, or another major release deserved gaming’s biggest award.
