I mean do we honestly need reviews to tell us its going to be good?

Its a new mainline 3d Mario game.

Name 1 that was objectively bad.

Ps sunshine was good.

It's important to know if it's 40/40 good or 39/40 bad.

Everything seems to have a season pass nowadays. What are the odds Mario gets one?

I don't see it happening, but who knows

Why sell a season pass when they can sell Amiibo instead? >

Theyll do both.

hotcyder · Oct 20, 2017

Oh no, looks like they've been taking tips from Bethesda! :0

It'll be fine.

I see it happening and I hope it does.

With BOTW and M+R, one was announced in advance. So I suspect we may not see one for SMO, but I'd love to be wrong.

DMONKUMA said:
Still can. Rabbits had it's season pass revealed 5-6 days before release.

Oh, I missed that. Maybe we will see news soon then.

It will be my first Mario game played on launch. Very excited about it.

They did the same with BOTW so it probably isn't related to quality concerns.

AmayaPapaya · Oct 20, 2017

Don't even care about reviews. We already know this game is amazing. Reviews don't need to tell me that.

reelbigtink · Oct 20, 2017

The embargo being so late leads me to believe there's some awesome stuff in the game Nintendo doesn't want spoiled. Pretty excited about that.

Will they have previews like they did with BOTW? I think with BOTW they allowed the reviewers to show the game as long as it was the Great Plateau only.

Nope.

It's gonna be shit

Given the fact that it doesn't involve 100 players in an island, I'm ready to believe that you're being completely serious about this statement.

I'm already imagining the "am I the only one who doesn't enjoy Super Mario Odyssey" threads.

Holy shit, this is so golden, because its so true.

Yep. One world in particular is why I guess.

Gamexplain also got their copy in, so it's not just big gaming websites.

There's a footage embargo until the 26th. I'm not sure what can actually be said about the game preview-wise before then either.

Is that the copy they got from Europe, or an actual US copy?

I believe it is a US download they got. Other youtubers have received them as well.

The computers probably won't let it be sold yet, but you never know...

the review scores are going to tell you how close this game is going to compete with Zelda for:

Game of the Year

Switch Game of the Year

Also out of nowhere I'm going to make a prediction that Destiny 2 will win NO GOTY awards, and still release a GOTY edition anyway because fuck it

A lot of games will release a GOTY edition even when not winning any awards because they're popular sales targets.

what does that have to do with this thread?

If there's one team i have confidence in its the 3d Mario team

BashNasty · Oct 21, 2017

There is approximately a 0% chance this game is going to be bad, but the reviews are still gonna be fun to read.

can't wait for his review on SMBHQ.com

Honestly I'm shocked that I wasn't the only person to think this. "Am I the only person who thought..." is always a stupid question, but SMBHQ is such ancient internet history that I actually was genuinely curious how many people would still remember it nowadays.

As much as they've already shown, not sure why they don't let reviewers talk about it more. On the flip side, since they have shown so much, I don't really need a review and have mostly been avoiding media on this game.

I know almost nothing about it, Im super pumped to discover it mostly blind.
