@Ralizah I wonder if Odyssey will have a strong sense of purpose. In BotW's case, I was looking for the strongest monster the game had to offer. After killing 20 or so Lynels, I grew bored and put the game down (130 hours) but then I've tried picking the game back up, and playing it without goals set, which got me to go about 210 hours instead.
Mario Odyssey will probably be a collect-a-thon in gameplay, and if Rayman Definitive Edition's demo is anything to go by, I probably won't be enjoying that.
@Ralizah To me, the BotW shrines come to mind regarding the moons (the mini puzzle you have to solve to get to the moon being the shrine and the moon itself being the spirit orb).
You'll only end up like a certain someone who hyped Zelda above and beyond and talked themselves into the game offering a hell of a lot more than was ever realistic to expect
Yeah, like a new Zelda game in 2017. 'Cause clearly no one knows how to make those anymore.
@Grumblevolcano I think Odyssey will be fine because Mario worlds are generally cheaper than Zelda ones that aren't literally copied and pasted like Breath's. The Shrines and Korok seeds were the same 4 and 10 puzzles respectively repeated ad nauseam. Moons so far look unique, like the game has actual secrets in its world, so I would worry more about if all the worlds will be quality or if the game will be long enough to feel worthwhile. Plus this game has actual indoor environments, sooo...
OMG I'm so hyped now!!!
Looking f*****g great!!! Can't wait. My kids will be blown away with this one after Mario World and Lands.
And that bundle.. omg.. just omg.. and with carrying case.. I want to sell my Splatoon 2 bundle and buy this one
I spoiled some things but it was worth it to see the moon count. About halfway down looks to be 40, so that's potentially 80 moons per kingdom! I'm sold, looking to be the best 3D Mario (easily), less than two months away, I'm hyped and done watching footage.
EDIT: Oh and, yeah, it's obvious from that map footage that we're totally going to the moon.
I would have never guessed Weezing was so useful until I played a HeartGold Nuzlocke! My YouTube Channel! Video game related, of course! My Pushmo Levels
@Dev They may well be a reference to the Koopa Bros. from Paper Mario too. Granted, they're wearing caps and one of them is purple instead of black, but they're still bros.
@meleebrawler They are, of course, wearing caps so they can't be posessed. I noticed Pauline has a hat as well. I like how this game mechanic is forcing a fashion trend among NPCs.
Wow, even if this game launches with only the kingdoms shown it looks like it'll still be well-worth $60. And to that point, if you think there isn't a ghost house world you're kiddin' yourself — they're checking the boxes of desert, beach, poison swamp, mountain, and ice in addition to the new worlds.
Point of clarification: Is the Seaside Kingdom the same as the Lake Kingdom? Having two water worlds is probably too much to hope for, but still I wonder.
I'm a little bit worried about how disposable moons seem compared to stars and shine sprites, because Korok seeds are a fresh scar. But I guess Mario collectables were never supposed to carry weight like Zelda ones: they're just used to meet a certain threshold.
Finally, we saw ostensibly the rocket nozzle in two different worlds in that trailer. That's so cool! The Seaside Kingdom looks like the Sunshine-like world we wanted, and there is still that moon on the world map...
@Haru17 Yeah, I wondered if there were more locations within a Kingdom that we could visit.
They made a point to give a separate name for location and Kingdom, after all. That would be a crazy amount of levels to play, though.
And I also noticed the similarity between moons and Korok Seeds. But it's already a better situation if it's 80 per bounded location versus 900 any-freakin'-where.
Sooo what's the deal with all these sites and social media going mad over Mario's nipples? Have people never seen nipples before? What did they expect him to have?

They maybe expected them to be covered in teflon tape. He is a plumber after all. Oh wait, he WAS a plumber.
Can't watch anymore of this, don't want it spoiled before I even play it. It looks brilliant.
