Topic: Super Mario Odyssey

@NaviAndMii I guess some people weren't going to give it a chance no matter what. Say the game rates well. Solid 9's and 8's you still won't care will you or at least be a little curious?

@Octane YES! Bring back Petey!

@Spoony_Tech I dunno...maybe? I've been around long enough to know that some of the games that look great at E3 will end up being pretty disappointing - and other games that perhaps seem a little disappointing will turn out to be pretty good...the Rabbid's are a bit like nails on a chalk board for me though - they really don't appeal to me as characters at all - but, if the game-play is undeniably great, I'd be foolish to totally rule it out...

I was perhaps a little harsh sounding above - it does seem like Ubisoft have put some real thought in to the cross-over...it's just gonna take a lot for me to get over the 'cringe factor' that the Rabbid's bring!

@NaviAndMii Fair enough! 😃

@Proust Agreed! I feel like I've already played like 20% of the game.

I think I might look away when they show the game. I know I'm gonna buy it, so I want to save some surprises for the actual game.

Probably there will be a good chunk of the treehouse focused on it. I'm still excited though, I want to see more info. It's been too long since we got a sandbox Mario!

Different hats, called it.

Super Mario Odyssey Amiibo!

Ok, I'll have to save up a bit for that new bowser.

I have three yoshies, two bowsers doesn't seem too bad.

That song tho!

I love the fact that Pauline is back, she's a singer and she's the mayor of the city.

TOh boy Nintendo is dominating the holiday season. This, Xenoblade, Zelda DLC and Metroid 3DS. Ooooooo.

They literally took Mario's costume from Mario's Picross and put it in the game. I'm so happy.

So Nintendo I think has released at least 3 of the greatest game trailers ever so far this year. 2 were for this game.

@Late: Also his 'MURICA costume from the NES Open Tournament Golf game.

The game looks amazing. Though it's a shame if they go the Zelda route and opt for ambient noise instead of actively playing BGM. But other than that the game is beautiful and seems very big.

It actually seems like Banjo Kazooie the way each level has 100 unique collectibles and you don't get kicked out after every Moon collection

I do realize other game companies do this sometimes (lol Ubisoft), so it's an actual valid concern, but do you honestly think every single thing from BoTW will now be in every major Nintendo title for no apparent reason? Like, are there gonna be 900 hidden collectibles in the new Yoshi...oh...ok maybe you have a point :V

But seriously, that would be the strangest choice ever.

SMG, SM3DW and now SMO. Nintendo are really taking VGM to a whole new level.

@shaneoh This is the first official Mario game with actual lyrics in the theme song. Mario music has always been amazing though, so I expected no less from Odyssey.

@BraveSonic
I get the feeling Nintendo are making sure they try something different each time. SMG went for a full orchestra, SM3DW went the jazz route, might be we'll see a few songs with lyrics in SMO.
