Topic: Super Mario Odyssey

@TheLegendOfLaser It's a single-player game, no co-op.

I hope there will be two, recalling the reveal trailer scene with the lady going to that "party"

@FGPackers It isn't though. The description clearly says ''1 player''.

@Octane Yeah i know, i hope for a kind of surprise

So this game is essentially a middle finger to Universal? I love it

Anyone else get a Splatoon vibe from this Crazy Cap shop? It's like the Cooler Heads of the Mario Universe.

Yeah, I think it is a given. They have the shop in every region, why would they do it if it doesn't have any in-game meaning?

Guys, I figured everything out, and the game's true and final name.
It features hat, 4 large locations, is likely based on a time system, and has a moon visible everywhere you go.

Super Mario: Majora's Hat.
Majora's Hat is controlling Bowser, you have 3 days to stop the wedding, or the moon destroys the world.

NAILED IT.

@Joeynator3000 You can also transform into a business man, a walking spoon or a dancing skeleton!

Seriously though, that hat ship worries me, was hoping the hub level would be like 64's/Sunshine's. Starting to think it'll be like one of the Galaxy games, mainly 2. :c

@Joeynator3000 My real fear is that levels number is really 4. Even if they are big, sounds not good to me. I hope they're hiding most of it

@Joeynator3000: I would totally play that.

I'm sure there's more than they're showing. Nintendo doesn't normally pull what I call the "movie in a trailer" shtick.

Yeah I'm sure there's more than 4 levels.

@FGPackers It was a teaser trailer for a game coming out in the holidays. They're not going to show all the levels right now. They'll wait until E3 where they'll start to fully showcase the game. So don't worry there'll be more than what you saw.

This IS Nintendo, though...they spoiled tons of past games before, like with past Zelda games and showing off tons of bosses. Thankfully BotW isn't spoiling much this time.

In previous Zelda Mario (heh ^.^) games, you can sacrifice your Yoshi for your selfish desire to reach the goal. In Super Mario Odyssey, you can now sacrifice your hat to the bullet bill.

Is Zelda on your mind?

Obviously. Was Link and his Master Cycle not the star of Zelda Kart 8?

I'll go crawl in my hole now >.>

A 3D Mario game is always going to be one Nintendo's 'big hitters', along with the likes of Zelda, Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros and, arguably into the future, Splatoon.

Thankfully, Nintendo have learned that games such as these are akin to pillars, holding much of the success of the said system. So they're spacing the releases out tactically in order to generate a consistent amount of interest in Switch; the same of which cannot be said about Wii U.

Zelda appeals to the core gamer and long-time Nintendo fans, which makes it suitable for creating that initial buzz for the system's launch. Then we have Mario Kart in late spring, Splatoon in summer and Super Mario Odyssey right before Christmas. The appeal of Mario is so great that it makes sense for the franchise to have its limelight when people are out choosing Christmas presents!

So before the year is even up, we're already treated to four incredible games. Next year and beyond? There's still the matter of Smash Bros, Metroid, Pikmin, Mario Party and more...

@Emperor-Palpsy Let's not forget Xenoblade 2...
