Super Mario Odyssey
It's Super Mario Odyssey week! The game hits this coming Friday. Reviews are still embargoed, but early scuttlebutt is positive.
Trailer.
Who else is going to be doing a lot of capping and stomping this weekend?

Friday? My kids thought it was tomorrow. They've been scraping their money together to see how much they have, and how much they have to beg from me to fill int he gaps.

Re: Super Mario Odyssey
I got to play the demo in Target (after wrestling it away from my kids), and it's a definite must-buy. We don't actually have a Switch until Santa brings one, but this will be the first game under the tree. Followed by Zelda......for the kids, of course........

IGN: 10

Re: Super Mario Odyssey
Yeah... I'm in on this one. It's getting universally positive praise.
So I think it's safe to call this generation of Nintendo a success in terms of design and gaming lineup. Two blockbuster universally praised games in launch year.

It's 109 first team All-Americans.
It's a college football record 61 bowl appearances.
It's 34 bowl victories.
It's 24 Southeastern Conference Championships.
It's 15 National Championships.
At some places they play football. At Alabama we live it.

Re: Super Mario Odyssey
And if you skipped the Wii U as most did, bonus fantastic releases like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Re: Super Mario Odyssey
I'm gonna stop linking everything. Suffices to say that I have not discovered a single review that isn't ecstatic about this one.
Sounds like BotW has some competition for GotY.

I totally forgot about this dropping. Luckily the wife launch day ordered it from Amazon...and I took next week off to decompress from unrelenting consulting travel. I'm psyched as hell.

Re: Super Mario Odyssey
My copy arrived a couple hours ago. It's really really good. I spent a good hour just exploring the first level past the tutorial and I don't even really like collecting things in most games!

Re: Super Mario Odyssey
The soundtrack is up there with Galaxy's, for me.
Early favorite...
And I don't think I'm spoiling too much by pointing out how well they implemented their throwback moments.

Re: Super Mario Odyssey
Passed 250 moons yesterday. Still having a blast with the post-game content (which is most of the content).
