Review Super Mario Odyssey - A Globe-Trotting Extravaganza You Have To Experience
Odys-sey is what you get
For some gamers the idea of a ‘sandbox’ Mario game is pure retro. Super Mario 64 played a big part in revolutionising gaming, not just 3D platforming, and then Super Mario Sunshine took the idea in some interesting new directions on GameCube. Yet the Wii was a transformative console in taking Nintendo back to the top of...

Blue Monday.

My favourite one is both
Note. This article contains minor, non-narrative spoilers (specifically, Bananza forms and mid-game layers). Did you know there was a U-turn jump in Bananza? I just realised this morning! He does a roll jump (that can be chained into another air roll) and lands with a sonar splash. I'm not exactly sure how useful it is but...

UK Charts Donkey Kong Bananza Is A Hit, But Sells Less Than Half Of Super Mario Odyssey
Oh, banana!
The latest UK charts data is in, and as expected, Donkey Kong Bananza is a hit, climbing all the way to the top to beat the likes of Mario Kart World, Hogwarts Legacy, and EA Sports FC 25. How well it actually sold, however, is a little bit more difficult to gauge. According to The Game Business' Chris Dring, Bananza sold three times...

WAHOO!
It's-a-Me!
It has a town area and an npc!
@123akis mario!!
Please please PLEEEEEEASE be like SM64 and Sunshine. Please.
I thought they said that this game is 2 player co-op, since one player can play as the hat?
This is going to be the best Mario game ever can't wait to play it Nintendo still the best!
@JarJarBlacks it is. It wasn't released until e3 that you could do that but they wrote this before-they have yet to update it.
Ever since I was younger, Super Mario Galaxy has always been my favorite 3D Mario game. And judging by the trailers, I believe that this game could possibly turn out better! What do you guys think?
Wahoooooo
I seriously want this game. Hurry up, October 27th!
@DrewCola You must still be young. Super Mario 64 was the best 3D Mario IMO and Odyssey looks like it will be just as good. Yahhoooo!!
Less than a week. I'm so weak
So my copy arrived yesterday!!! its AMAZING!!!
Downloaded today at 18pm. Played for 7 hours not stopping (now). This game is... get it. Do a favor to yourself and GET IT.
Who else here is getting the Switch and Odyssey?
This game is so much fun! It took me a long time to realise you can play mario music you have discovered on your travels. Once I'd been to 'DKC festival' & heard the version with lyrics I can play it anywhere on my travels got this song on repeat!
I got 700 power moons so far... It is so AWSOME. Just like SUPER MARIO 64

I Hope Nintendo Make Mario Odyssey DLC!
This is my Favourite game EVER!
Simply great, made me come back to Nintendo almost full-time...
Perfect. Mario strutting his stuff in 3D, 2D, 8bit and HD.
This is the best videogame of the past ten years.
First quarantine video game achievement: All 999 moons! I've never beaten a Mario game fully until now.
This was the first game I played start to finish on the switch and it is my go to game. This is a game almost anyone will love. It is my favorite game on the system.
Favorite game ever made. No exceptions.
I love this game it was my first switch game i ever played and still its my fav. W game
It was fun at first, with all the cool outfits and the concept of Moon Stars, but then the game got far too hard and boring.
Es muy increíble, extremadamente completo, con gran variedad de movimientos, muy muy buenos gráficos, referencias a anteriores videojuegos que quedaron espectaculares, gran calidad en conjunto de una enorme y muy disfrutable duración, fomenta la exploración de manera exquisita y espléndida gracias a las monedas locales y secretos por descubrir, cada mundo está muy pulido y vale la pena observarlo hasta el último rincón, los trajes quedaron excelentemente diseñados y hay una enorme cantidad para adquirir (valiendo la pena cada uno de ellos, porque no solo es cantidad sino calidad), podría decir más maravillas pero quedaría muy largo, simplemente perfecto. Ojalá Nintendo vuelva a ser como era con Satoru Iwata y ponga bastantes de sus artículos a precios razonables y accesibles y deje de ponerlos caros (precios justos y balanceados son los que deben poner, no cualquier tontería o Port a precio de locura), yo sé que no soy dueño de una empresa de videojuegos pero creo que 30-40 dólares como máximo estaría bastante bien para un videojuego de Nintendo Switch que sea de muy buena calidad y que sea muy costoso de producir, y ganarían dinero de sobra pero 70 dólares o más es excesivo. La regla de no publicar salvo que sea en inglés es absurda, ¿cómo vas a limitar las demás lenguas?, ¿no quieres que los usuarios se expresen de manera natural y sin limitarse? (además de que para revisar pueden usar traductores pagos para que las traducciones sean bien precisas, no hay problema por eso puesto que tienen mucho dinero), he visto que en Metacritic hay reseñas en portugués, español e inglés (y seguro otros idiomas más), tal vez tienen buenos motivos para evitar que todos los idiomas estén permitidos pero por lo menos los más hablados en el mundo sí o sí tienen que permitirlos (como el Inglés, Chino Mandarín, Español, Portugués, Francés, Ruso, Japonés), o sea, fíjense en lo absurdo que es que hasta ni idioma Japonés quieren en la página (el cuál es el idioma nativo de la empresa, pues es una empresa fundada en Japón y sigue allí), ojalá lean este comentario y rectifiquen porque les vendría bien.
