Good work. Thank you.

If people ignore 3D World movement options it's because they felt horribly gimped and were mostly useless for advanced, creative gameplay. You simply have to watch speedruns to realize Galaxy still makes use of Mario's core abilities to take cool shortcuts and break the regular level progression while 3D World essentially requires the Peach and cat suit combo to pull off anything. 3D World no powerup runs are the saddest thing to watch.

The Zelda EDGE cover has been my phone wallpaper for the past 8 months. Finally I've found a suitable replacement.
Thank you, good sir.

Yes, i love pulling the roll jump move in 3d world, but no triple jump, dive and a super neutered back flip and long jump make the game movement feels worse than 64 and sunshine.

Mostly unjustified though. It is a shame they gimped Mario's movement, but the level design was incredible.
New long gameplay from the final build of the game. Looks beautiful.

You can tell the lighting has improved a lot.

You'll have Odyssey, Zelda and Xenoblade for your single player plus ARMS, Splatoon and Mario Kart for multiplayer. Plus many more that'll be announced.
Good luck on deciding what to play first lol
Lightning in the bottle, part 2. This year's output is Nintendo at the top of their game: you'll most likely have a good time.
Does everyone know that the game is $47.99 for prime members on amazon? I just went to amazon to look for some stuff .. 20% off https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MY7GHKJ/?tag=neogaf0e-20
The first trailer was pretty disappointing.

Love me some Gamecenter DX. Hamaguchi knowing nothing about the game made this so fun to watch. People going blind into this game will have their mind blowns so many times...

All new games should be 20% off. I use Best Buy Gamers Club and get every brand new game for $48.
Ohh nice I didnt know this.
Can you also trade in a game and have that go towards whatever new game you are getting a discount on?
The HUD looks a little busy for my tastes. Do we know if there are any HUD options like there were with BOTW? I feel like I could do without that compass and the moon counter (I totally skimmed through the video so apologies if this is addressed).

I don't know about a pro hud, but the moon counter resets every time you go to the kingdom, and the traced lines only appear until you don't have the number of moons needed for the next kingdom

I'm not too sure if you can do that. I know if you have the Best Buy Gamers Club when you trade a game in you get 10% more money for it.

For uk customers, the game is 41.99 (39.99 prime) digitally too. Same price as retail.

They gave fucking GTA IV a 10/10? That shit was disappointing coming from San Andreas. It's better than III though.

Us broke motherfuckers got to stick together. I also want a PS4, but only God knows when I'll be able to afford that too.

The only one I would look upon with contention. You can see why; it did add a lot of cinematic impact and grandeur to GTA, as well as multiplayer.
Its just a shame the actual gameplay experience was pretty boring as a result.
Actually, it has. The trailers that we've seen in the last month or so have made me significantly more confident about the game's quality compared to the initial reveal.
But you can be more optimistic about a game while also being cautiously optimistic. What is the issue here?
See, the problem is that you took from my post that I wasn't extremely excited for the game, when that is not the case at all. I love the fact that there's a return to a more open-world focus and physics and controls that thankfully stray away from SM3DW and back to SMG.
However, that's not at all contradictory with tempering expectations since we all know in many, many cases, reviewers, like everyone else, get caught up in the hype. Skyward Sword, Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted 3, GTA4 the list goes on and on. Hell, remember the hell that was raised when Twilight Princess got an 8.8? But then everyone played it, and turns out that not only did it seem like Gerstmann was right, but he probably overshot it. Hilariously enough, guess who was on the side of the crowd that wanted Gerstmann's head on a platter after that?
Certainly nothing I've said is deserving of some of the unhinged comments I've been getting, like this:
Look at this wingnut. He references a post of mine that seemed disappointed in the score that Sonic Mania got. Before that post, I don't think I've made a single negative comment whatsoever, in any thread since the initial reveal thread for Mania (And even then, the only thing I questioned was the ability of the developers involved cause I never heard of them. Once people explained who they were, that was that. Furthermore, if anyone can find any subsequent negative posts about the game I've made, please free to point it out). But somehow in Mighty Poo's deranged mind, I clearly had some sort of agenda against that game, with his partner in derp, Jaded Alyx, chiming in with the 8 thousandth instance of invoking an unoriginal, lame pun on my name. This is a game that, for all intents and purposes, I wanted to see it succeed. (now Sonic Forces, on the other hand..)
Probably the greatest irony here is that I had a similar level of skepticism with the original Super Mario Galaxy. Yet now no one is a bigger defender of that game than I am.
The moral of this story is that y'all need to take a chill pill.
Way to speak ill of the dead.
GTA4 was a rare instance of unity for reviews, in that everyone lost their goddamned minds to praise it for the things that it set out to do rather than the things that it actually did well. LBP had the same thing going for it, too.
And BOTW to an extent.
nah
Did any of you happen to catch that piece from Erik Kain on Forbes about Edge's score?
https://www.forbes.com/sites/erikka...uper-mario-odyssey-review-score/#1e1fb07e453f
Is it just me, or does it sound like he's accusing Edge of Paid Reviews?

Technically it's a follow up to Mario 64/Sunshine, in Nintendo's eyes. If anything, 3D Land and World were the sucessors to the Galaxy duology. As told by The Chart™.
This is what makes me interested. Everything after Sunshine was slowly going down hill. Not shit of course, but too linear and nothing like 64 and Sunshine which were both awesome.
I like the second paragraph in your quote. If the value of reviews lies in their consensus, maybe wait until others reviewed the game before you accuse Edge of wrongdoing? What if their score isn't an outlier at all?
I stopped reading after his first, appallingly-written, paragraph
Not sure which sentence is worse.

LBP is a 10/10 for me. I don't know what you're talking about.
If I looked downhill and saw Galaxy, I'd grab my tobaggon and never look back.
Well, I dont think its a coincidence that Edge have got the exclusive reviews of the most recent Zeldas and Marios. I doubt theyre paid, but Nintendo can probably assume theyre going to get pretty favourable scores.
Sunshine is really really flawed, good controls don't excuse buggy physics, cut corners and shit camera. The idea that Galaxy is worse than Sunshine is laughable.
BotW got sixty-nine perfect scores. Edge's score is hardly an outlier. And they're the only relevant print magazine still in existance, so that fact probably is the reason they're getting exclusive reviews.

Did edge actually get their review copy "so far ahead of everyone else" or is he completely talking out of his ass? Their review leaking first does not mean no one else has had a review copy all this time.

It doesn't sound like it, he is specifically saying it.
There is literally one review of the game
What?
Also while i was blown away by Galaxy back in 2007 and do consider it a better put together game than Sunshine overall. It does not change the fact that the Mario games i replayed the most are 64 and Sunshine while i only replayed Galaxy once since its release.
Probably because Galaxy is a much more restrictive game.
