Topic: Super Mario Odyssey

Either way, regardless of why the boxart was changed, it looks better. No need to complain if you ask me.

Give those Cheep-Cheeps a sombrero, problem solved.

Agreed, regardless of political correctness. Overall, I like how the game seems to be shaping up.

This is the internet. People like blowing things out of proportion.

A gif of Mario landing with the Odyssey.
And here's a translation from the Japanese Mario Odyssey twitter:

"Good morning.
In order to disembark The Odyssey, a ramp is needed.
When in flight, it folds back into The Odyssey and stores itself."
Translation by http://www.jtyaku.net/super-mario-odyssey-fold-out-ramp/

As if Mario needed a ramp to jump down from that height.

It's there for when Captain Toad visits him in his ship.

Why does that vaguely remind me of the ship from Pikmin 3?

@Meowpheel Clearly you don't understand luxery. Do I "need" this $700 smartphone?
Do I "need" a TV in the bedroom, when my living room is only 8 steps away? Does anyone really "need" a refrigerator in their car, when coolers do the job just fine?

No. But Mario - needs - this ramp! It makes him feel like being in Peach's castle again. Just give him this one thing! #Treatyoself

Odyssey is £42 on Amazon U.K. For pre order, £40 if you're a Prime member.

@Nicolai but the coins he could've saved! Installing an automatic ramp like that ain't cheap 😱

@Meowpheel Lol, to be fair, if I lived in a house where I had to jump down from my porch to go to work every morning... that would actually be kind of fun, but I bet guests would make assumptions. Can't say my wife-to-be would be comfortable with it, and if it's a place I grow old in, I might be in some trouble.

Then again, a pull-out ramp a-la Uhaul truck would probably turn some heads, too.

... I'm sure Nintendo thought of all of this during the design sessions, huh?

Maybe someone gave Mario a discount on the ramp! XD

Must've been DK. XD

This is the game I'm waiting for before I take the plunge and buy a Switch. Gotta give Ninty credit though, they're doing the proper amount of marketing this time around and the game library of the Switch is building up nicely.

Rough translation: "It is "Bouquet of Pac-n-Flower" which Princess Peach caught in Koppa has in hand. It is decorated with "Bouquet's Flower" and Pink ribbon which is cultivated in the forest country. It is a packed flower that Mario attacks when approaching, but is it familiar to Princess Peach ...?"

Well that's just adorable @SLIGEACH_EIRE

Google Translate doing a cracking job there.

Slightly less rough translation:

Maybe 'Bowser-napped' shouldn't technically correct, as with 'kidnapped' it's generally not the kids doing the napping (mind you, it's often not kids being napped, so to hell with consistency). It still sounds less clunky in the wider sentence than taking the subject to be 'Peach who was kidnapped by Bowser', or the very literal 'Kinapped-By-Bowser-Princess-Peach'. It's probably still an improvement on Google Translate's valiantly garbled effort though.

I like the idea that the piranha plants have grown attached to peach.
