Marvel's Spider-Man 2 vs Super Mario Bros Wonder: Release date, details about Sony PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch video games

Nintendo and Sony have significant expectations tied to two upcoming releases set for this Friday: "Marvel's Spider-Man 2" for the PlayStation 5 and "Super Mario Bros Wonder" for the Switch. Both Nintendo and Sony have transcended traditional console boundaries, and they are eager to capitalize on the success of recent movie releases.

Super Mario Bros.

Mario, returns with Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Expect plenty of the block-breaking, mushroom-eating, warp-pipe-traveling antics that put Nintendo on the map in the 1980s. Plus, Mario can turn into an elephant. This one’s exclusive to the Switch, starting Friday, October 20.


Mario, the iconic mustachioed plumber sporting a red cap, introduced to the world by Shigeru Miyamoto, redefined the gaming landscape back in 1985 with the release of "Super Mario Bros." This beloved character's widespread recognition propelled the success of Nintendo in Japan, with "Super Mario" series sales surpassing a staggering 420 million units.

Spider-Man 2

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is back albeit in the guise of a video game. It’s actually Insomniac Games’ third crack at the character, after separate adventures starring alter egos Peter Parker and Miles Morales. This time the two Spideys are teaming up to battle notorious villains like Venom, Kraven the Hunter and The Lizard. If you enjoyed swinging between Manhattan’s skyscrapers in the previous games, get ready for an even bigger map, now including Queens and Brooklyn.

And you can use your web shooters to create underarm "web wings", which let you soar across spaces that don’t have tall buildings. Do whatever a spider can starting Friday, October 20, on PlayStation 5.
