People saying this looks like 3D World style gameplay are blind. Looks very open from these shots, plus the movement options are very similar to Mario 64, which I'm sure was intentionally shown. Looks like a 64 successor with the graphical style of 3D World, which should excite anyone interested in Mario.
where are all the 64-2 comment coming from!?
"the movement options are very similar to Mario 64"
where are you seeing this? we only saw the long jump(which has been in every 3D mario aside from sunshine) and the triple jump. The triple jump being in doesn't make movement options "very similar to Mario 64" at all, that would be the dive (the "b" button in 64), and we have no indication of that being in.
My understanding (you will notice I am using this phrase a lot on purpose) is that this is more explore-y than the recent games but not as much as Mario 64.
Think Mario 64 if the ratio of exploration levels to Bowser levels was reversed.
godlike news if true. That's what 64 should have been in the first place (same moveset, but more plaforming oriented)
