Nintendo Scrapped Live Commentary for Super Mario Bros. After 6 Months of Development

Developers spent 6 months on live commentary feature for Super Mario Bros. Wonder before scrapping it.

Commentary was meant to guide players, but devs debated using a generic vs. Tsundere voice.

Playtesting showed some users preferred the Tsundere voice, but feature was cut anyway.

Talking Flowers were added to give hints, inspired by scrapped live commentary.

Feature was likely cut because it would have been annoying during gameplay, like in God of War Ragnarok.
