Super Mario Odyssey Review (Nintendo Switch) (9.7)  by  

A new entry in the Super Mario series is upon is! We are just days away now from the glorious Super Mario Odyssey! Run, jump, and explore your way through plenty of 'Kingdoms' setup similarly to the great Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine! This is the Mario game everyone has been waiting for!


Check out Nintendo's now-famous Super Mario Odyssey 1:30~ long commercial!


And check out some of the glorious screens as well! Soon you'll be able to use the special mode found inside the game to pause the action at anytime for a photo, but you can also change the angle in anyway way also. Quite a neat feature.

Why not sign up for a (free) account?
   
 
One thing I love about 64 is how snappy and fast Mario is. I haven't watched much gameplay footage of Odyssey, but I'm hoping there's a nice high skill ceiling for players who really wanna zip through the world with crazy parkour tricks.

So it turns out the download is 5.7 GB?!

Maybe I should have bought this game digitally instead of preordering the physical game. I’v never had to switch carts on Switch before, it will be weird to have to get to up to change games lol.

Zelda is my only physical game... I messed up with that one game, but that's okay, I'm allowed to mess up ONCE! I'll just never take that cart out!

I never wanna take any Switch games out to be honest. But a huge title like Mario I feel I need physically.

My copy is 17 miles away... if only there was a pick up option

Reviews are out. This may come as a shock but... very high scores so far. 97% between 29 reviews at the moment.

Saw that some Irish (I think) reviewer gave it a 6/5. Deal with that, Metacritic!

My copy is at my house. I'll have it when I get home! Wooooo!

Also, I saw this on Twitter.

Gaaaah! The place I preordered from doesn't seem to have sent my game yet! I really hope this is a notification snafu.

What happened to those 6/5 scores I heard about?

Edit: ah I see it got mentioned already

Pauline for the next Smash Bros!

@TriforceBun
What would be her moveset? Singing?

Hmm, not a terrible idea haha.

@carlosrox
Some singing (and maybe a bit of hat-throwing for more Odyssey nods!), but mainly it'd be a cool way to actually incorporate a Donkey Kong (arcade) style of moveset. In a modern, relevant, Odyssey-like package. She could utilize oil drums, hammers, barrels (since DK's never going to get his signature move, apparently), maybe even some of the mini-toys from the GBA games.

35 of 66 reviews on metacritic are 10s. 3 reviews are less than 9.

@TriforceBun Wait, Pauline is in this game? Thanks for the spoiler. :P
10/26/17, 23:11   
Oh boy...my copy just shipped, so hopefully it'll be arriving tomorrow!

My poor hat
10/27/17, 02:57   
Mine shipped yesterday, but there have been zero updates on tracking. Like, it still shows that it's still on its way to USPS.

@TriforceBun
I actually voted her for the Smash ballot back in the day! I like to think that my vote is what got her into Odyssey. Yup.
