Looks way cooler than I would have imagined. Opens up a lot of possibilities
cute boxart though I wonder why the bottom is just a red block, if it were a table in the ship that the photos were laying on or something that would be neat
also the hat is prominently shown twice which is silly
The minish cap idea is still kinda weird.
Then again, minish cap.
i cant wait to turn into a fucking taxi fuck
this game looks cool as hell
hell yeah it does I have not been this optimistic about a mario game in about a decade
So since we have this dumb rabbids crossover, when are we getting an oddworld crossover called Mario's Oddysee?

ok it seems cool
though am i the only one who doesn't like the possession gimmick though[/glow]
Will also be co-op apparently; second player gets to be the hat
there was a large swatch of GAF today that was fucking livid that the "multiplayer" was relegated to a 'let your brother play' bucket bitch-esque role instead of being full on co-op mode
i for one totally expected this when they said they teased the game was multiplayer lol
It's galaxy all over again.

idk. I guess because I consider the handheld marios to be their own thing, and 3d land was that, and 3d world was a sequel to that, but on console.
Like I said, I don't disagree, making my earlier statement not fully correct.

I mean in Mario galaxy player 2 had to collect star pieces and that was it lol this is way better.
Also better than sonic where tails constantly gets run off screen but I still play that shit n_u
I mean Super Mario World kinda had multiplayer, but I can see why with this game they wouldn't just let multiple players loose in an open world like this
also 3D World is a mainline Mario game, and it's also a great game

Fight fight fight
i actually only just watched this particular trailer for the first time
the brilliance of nintendo's trial-and-error game design shines through in their recycling of well-received things like the wall-merging concept first seen in a link between worlds, the popularity of 2d mario that was reinvigorated by mario maker, the possession-via-hat that's partly minish cap, partly [insert nintendo game in which player-controlled possession occurs, i actually can't think of a popular example so maybe that's novel lol befuddlement]
But I am still truly disgusted by the juxtaposition of stylized humanoid Mario characters with natural-looking real-world humans. it's just so vomit-inducing and sonic adventure 2-ish smithicide;
still, i like virtually everything else i've seen about mario odyssey, it's clearly the switch's flagship title of 2017

Wind Waker has it with the Command Melody (for statues, Medli, and Makar) and Hyoi Pear (for seagulls)
I feel like Kirby probably does this too but I can't remember a specific example.
Mario&Luigi Bowser's Inside Story has some parts where M&L control Bowser, but it's not really like possession
y'all forgot about geist

and even in wind waker those are just minor, severely limited puzzle-solving tools
so i guess odyssey really does represent the first time possession is prominently featured as a core mechanic of a nintendo game

I guess they half-developed it
they published it and own the rights to it so it's a nintendo title
i suppose, but i really had first-party games in mind lol
geist is an outlier one-time partnership with an external studio, and furthermore nothing about it (gameplay mechanics included) really left a lasting impression
it's a second-party game, i'm not exactly sure why you feel the need to pretend it "doesn't count" for some reason
I always remembered it, and I feel it is a notable game for that mechanic
i mean sure the game kinda sucked but the point is there's been a nintendo game with this mechanic before
i'm not dismissing you or "pretending" it doesn't count, i'm just saying the criteria i had in mind at first would not have included a game like geist lol
although i would say it counts less than something like wind waker because ww is first-party and popular
and aside from those purely factual matters, i personally don't have any familiarity with geist

Super Mario Od-easy
at first i thought this game was weird/kinda mediocre, but now that its opened up a bit and i understand the premise a bit more, i'm having lotsa fun :)

So apparently there's around 900 moons. Guess I should stop trying to collect them all myface;

honestly, this may be the first mario game I 100%
We'll see
everyone delete this game and stop playing it until i buy a switch kay thanks!
New Donk City fucking rules holy shit
Why do I have to work I wanna be at home playing this all day
in some ways this game is even better in post-game. having a blast trying to find the rest of the power moons. so many left though! i've got 369 at the moment
That actually seems to be what most say.

yeah he seems to think it's almost always cold tbh lol
last night i was in the wooded kingdom, like right at the entrance next to the odyssey, and mario was shivering. cold in them there woods i guess
get that boy a parka
he's got one in game
Apparently I'm pretty decent at bounding; at least compared to the other mini games
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLl7lbbpjig[/youtube]
so much of this game can be completed without even capturing enemies because mario's movement possibilities are so insane. and it's intended by the developers. it's so fucking cool.
just got the hardest moon in the game, the one you can access once you have 500 moons
it's a long, challenging mishmash of obstacles and challenges, very similar to the perfect run in galaxy 2. but unlike the perfect run, you're allowed to get hurt in this one. and hell, halfway through you can find a power-up heart to extend your life to 6 hits. the simple fact that you don't have to do this one flawlessly makes it a lot easier than the perfect run. but it's still pretty hard.
so uh
this game good? n_u
Quote from: DAED SI HAYOB on November 05, 2017, 05:42:09 PM
so uh

Yea. The story is super easy but there's a lot of really fun platforming and there are like 800 some moons to collect
ok so, for the post-game koopa free running races, every single one of them is really easy except for one (wooded kingdom master cup) that randomly wants you to use a technique that isn't required anywhere else in the game: long jump to cappy throw to dive onto cappy bounce
once you know how to do that, you'll probably do it all the time just to get across huge gaps and such quicker (i know i do), but i was just surprised that the game tossed that in there
Quote from: DAED SI HAYOB on November 05, 2017, 05:42:09 PM
so uh

yeah, it's really fuckin good. probably my goty. better than BotW imo
also when you 'beat' the game the game only just begins; theres so much shit to collect holy fuck
I also like it more than BotW and I never thought I'd enjoy a main Mario game over a Zelda from the same timeframe
they're both kind of similar in design goals too which is kind of weird (large, open sandboxes with near infinite ways to reach your objective); mario just does so much more. bosses are way more memorable, the world is way more memorable, the music is FUCKING AWESOME (a lot of botw's score was really subtle IMO), and it's constantly satisfying you, whereas zelda it can be minutes/hours between finding a shrine, and even then some shrines are just plain a pain in the ass/not fun; i haven't had a single moon find so far that i was like MAN I HATED THAT COMPLETELY
Yeah the only moons I really don't care for so far are the ones that just get put out in the open with nothing special needing to be done. Those are not the norm though
The only shitty moons are the "Taxi/Sphynx Traveling Through the ____ Kingdom!" ones. Because the first time Talkatoo tells you about one of these, you will have no idea how to find it. I had to look it up lol. There seems to be one in every kingdom tho so once you've found one you know how to get the rest
oh ok this video makes more sense now
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAxyxlkD_g0[/youtube]
lmao yeah
Anyway, I 100%'d this game today.
999 Power Moons, which is the max amount, including the 880 acquired normally through every kingdom, and the extra 119 that you have to buy in Crazy Cap stores.
Every souvenir, song, and capture. I was stumped on my last two captures until I found out you can capture fire and poison Piranha Plants.
Every outfit, including the above skeleton suit that costs 9999 coins. Luckily I found a decent grinding spot for coins.
And just for kicks, I also beat the extra hard version of Bowser that unlocks at 880 moons.

i made it to the far side of every room just hoping to find something cool but naw the real solution was just "the camera didn't pan enough"
it looks like the overwhelming consensus is that this is the new best mario game
but is it alone worth buying a switch for y/n
........yes......?
the answer to that question, no matter the game or the console, is always no baddood;
yes...?
i bought a switch for mario and now it's just kind of sitting there until kirby, metroid, bayonetta, etc. come out
I mean I bought my Switch mostly just for Mario and Ive never regretted that purchase. But I know there will be other stuff I want on it too. If Mario had come out a lot earlier I would have been more hesitant.
I own like 6 games for my Switch lul
Mario
Zelda
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Xenoblade 2
Disgaea 5 Complete
Fire Emblem Warriors
Might get Splatoon 2 soon also.
hows fire emblem warriors?

To me, it's got 3
i have spla2n, mario odyssey, botw, sonic mania, snipperclips, and stardew valley
i love my switch
Yeah I dig the portability too. Bringing it home for Xmas to play Mario Kart and Puyo Puyo Tetris with friends and family. Can play some BotW on the couch when it's in use by others. Good stuff.
i also do not regret my switch purchase and have many fun unique games i can play on it
but u are welcome to your own opinion yes;
I want a switch
i probably shouldn't have bought a switch since i don't value portability at all. OOPS
i also don't value portability at all and i don't own a switch yet so........................ should i not? befuddlement
i feel portability is less an issue than the game selection. See if there's enough games you want
i beat this game in like 3 days and i kinda wish it was longer
i enjoyed it

the reason to own one. I quite like the joy cons by themselves in tv mode, but also just playing in portable mode in bed is nice.
Bound bowl racing is so fucking fun
yeah that minigame was fun
lunch world sucks
its just kinda lame. idk. like all the worlds have a bit of personality and but this one dont make me wanna care about the npcs in there, and the lame faux jungle environment dont do nothing for me. like honestly id rather it be just a big ass kitchen than a jungle
it is one of the weaker worlds but i didn't dislike it. i found traversing lava to be really fun. the world i actually like the least is the first water one, because it's so small and there's not really anything to it
shoulda just made the whole game a gigantic new donk city tbh
yeah new donk city is by far and away the best kingdom, but i also loved cascade kingdom and the forest and desert kingdoms

it could definitely be a bit bigger yeah, it didnt bother me too much tho considering how jam packed full of moons they managed to make it
you guys were right post game is real fun
