Topic: Super Mario Odyssey

Man this is going to be THE Switch game. Similar to Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, this is the game that will always be vivid in my memory

Rough translation: "This is "Capture Senobi" which captured the new character "Senobi". It is a character image of a bulb. You can see chopsticks in the distance! What?"

"You can move to high places, break blocks and things."

Those eyes.... O________O Kinda spoopy.

@Tsurii It's probably not going to happen, but it'd be really neat if Isle Delfino happened to be one of the ''kingdoms'' visited in this game, with an expanded Delfino Plaza to explore.

I think Isle Delfino is too specific to be considered a ''Kingdom''. There's no point unless it's an actual replica of Isle Delfino, and at that point, why not release it as Sunshine HD? The Mushroom Kingdom can be anything. Ask anyone to draw a map of the Mushroom Kingdom, and well, you can't. As long as there's a castle (which changes appearance from game to game), bits of green, mushroom, it can be anything. I think in most (2D) games they also call the desert, ocean and whatnot worlds part of the Mushroom Kingdom, but I don't think they're going to focus on that.

What we need is a ''Wii U Kingdoom''

It would be great to revisit Isle Delfino in an HD remaster, but it seems Nintendo has no intentions of remastering anything else.

I think Nintendo will return to GC remasters once they've got the important Wii U games released on Switch.

Day one buy for me, only Mario Kart has been so far. For Switch.

CANNOT WAIT! I can easily see myself putting countless hours into Odyssey

Pre-ordered this and will be getting it on release day, but I've been avoiding this thread. Just curious, how on earth have you guys been rambling on for 27 pages about a game that isn't out yet lol? I hope a new thread is made when it actually releases so that people that are wanting to talk about playing the game don't have to search through 50 pages of nothing first.

@Tsurii Yeah, I know. It would make sense to start a new thread to be honest though. All the regulars who get it on release day it wont matter, but new people that join a month or two after release will have a hard time knowing where to start for any useful info.

Anyways, I just thought it was funny that's there's so much talk about a game that isn't released yet haha. I've been avoiding this thread for the most part. I'm one of those types that prefers to wait and see what we actually get. I'm looking forward to it coming out.

Super Mario Odyssey gameplay - gamescom 2017 (Nintendo Switch)

I don't think there's much risk of coming across 'useful informal' in many many of the previous 26 pages. It's largely just wild speculation, absurd dreaming, and misty-eyed reminiscing.

I don't know what good starting a new thread would do except replace 27 pages of meaningless content with 0 pages of meaningless content.

I just don't understand the motive. Forums are just for discussing stuff, not for accumulating meaningful information. We have the main site for news and features about the game. The forums don't provide any service other than to give people a place to talk about something. And in however many months it's been since the game was announced, these 27 pages are evidence of exactly that.

I wish the Smash community would realise this. There's all this helpful information that's mostly found in forum posts and tweets because nobody bothers to put it somewhere more convenient. Some other places do this as well, of course.

Something that had been bugging me since E3 that kinda stopped being a thing now but still somewhat persists:

The HUD looks a bit cheap and very streamlined - too streamlined for my liking. The font doesn't look at zany or wacky like other Mario games like Galaxy or 3D World.

During Gamescom they angled the coins HUD a bit, but I still get the feeling of that unimpressive HUD.

It's not a game-killer by any means and was most likely already brought up somewhere here, but it's something I've been thinking of since E3.

Hm, I could still pre-order the wedding Peach & Mario amiibo + the game for a ''reasonable'' price. Yeah I should probably do that now ^^

Hmm... I wonder where Peach is in Super Mario Odyssey.

Is this addressed by Peach or is it addressed by Pauline? Wrong: it's addressed by Nintendo. Every time I read these lyrics, from the moment she sings "flipping the Switch," I can't help but think "are they even talking about the game anymore?"

It sounds to me more like a letter to Nintendo fans, telling them they're changing and to embrace it. Odyssey, of course, being an example. Just take a moment and read the second verse again:

take a chance, take a turn off the path, take it in stride, it's just a different point of view.
A new addition to the cast; Kimishima? You know that I'll be there; Nintendo? And of course in the last, they drop the 2nd person completely and start addressing Nintendo's entire audience. After a while, even "jump with me, grab coins with me" starts sounding like Nintendo asking me to play their game.

Sorry if it's either a huge stretch or if it was already obvious to everyone. What do you guys think?

@Som64
Princess Peach was kidnapped (again, lol) by Bowser. This time, Bowser want to.... married (again, once at Super Paper Mario Wii) with Princess Peach. At the same time, Former Mario's Girlfriend Pauline and new enemies (Rabbits?) appear.
I'm sure Peach is on Bowser Airship somewhere...

Yes but what about this image she's on.
The Cloud Kingdom?
