Platform: Nintendo Switch  
Release date: Today  
Coolest feature shown so far: Mario’s nipples

Today marks a day that many of us have been anticipating for months… or even years. A brand new 3D Super Mario game releases today, and it looks unlike any other game out there. I’ll flesh out this OP later when I have time, but for now, let’s celebrate this new title and discuss it here.

Cheers!

Edit: this game is really weird. I like it a lot so far. It’s got a very laid back pace to it. (Does that suffice for fleshing out the OT?)

@TheMoon was prepping his OT for here. Maybe you two can coordinate.

That said I was very dissapointed that I didn’t get a shipping notice from Amazon last night ☹

I checked me orders to see what was up and now I realize I forgot to even pre order it!!! DOH

My copy got delivered, I’m excited to start it up later tonight.

I have a tiny amount of apprehension because the last “exploration” Mario I played was Galaxy, which I didn’t like all that much, but that was a decade ago and all the footage of this looks so good.

I think having it on the go will help me deal with all the exploring in short bursts.

Might buy a Switch tomorrow, there’s a deal that would effectively mean appx $100 of the retail price in Canada. If so, I’ll join in!

I was watching small amounts yesteday on Twitch (TriHex was already training for speedrunning the game. Going for 30 days straight of Mario Odyssey).

This evening my brother and a friend will be splitting on buying a case of beer and playing Mario Odyssey in to the night. Already let my wife know that’s what we’re doin’ tonight 😝

I went all-in this morning and picked up a SNES Classic at TRU and then headed over to Gamestop to snag a Mario Odyssey Switch bundle (TGF WFH)…

Needless to say, this is going to be an awesome weekend!

Gah, already spoilers in here. Those screenshots are just gorgeous! I love how off the wall this game looks. Okay people… I’m out of here for now.

I just played the intro. This is definitely the weirdest MARIO game ever. But I really like it (I think?)

The movement options and controls are incredible for sure though. No doubts about that even if they are a bit different than what I’m accustomed to

Hey moon. I saw your OT on the other two sites. It was way better than mine!

I didn’t realize you’d still be willing to provide it to us. Sorry I should have asked.

Anyway… so uh… this game starts off kind of odd, but then gets pretty amazing very quickly. Once I really started exploring the dessert it all finally clicked with me. But it took longer than I expected for the click to happen. I finally “get” why all the critics were praising this game over the months.

I’m excited to dig in! That reminds me of sunshine. Sunshine took a while to click ( mostly due to the incredibly slow start) whereas 64 grabbed you right away

It’s got a very very different feel from Sunshine. It kind of has this very odd level design that is super loose and almost BotW-like 65% of the time, then really tight around 45% of the time. You have the find the tight parts. But once you get hooked, it draws you in a lot.
