New Super Mario Odyssey trailer
- Thread starter Jigolo
- Start date
You probably won't remember the vast majority of the specifics by the time late October rolls around, unless you keep watching this over and over.
Plus, in the context of the game and actually playing it, I think we're all going to be thrilled and surprised all over again.You probably won't remember the vast majority of the specifics by the time late October rolls around, unless you keep watching this over and over.
Fucking people were freaking out about everything they revealed about Breath of the Wild, and in the end it was less than 10% of the whole game lmao.
Yeah, Nintendo doesn't normally like giving too much away content-wise (usually focusing more on gameplay mechanics). That they've shown so much just leaves me to believe that the game will be of gigantic proportions. Oh yes.

It focuses on the world map.
Seeing what is presumably the Mushroom Kingdom depicted as an island on a realistic looking globe is so weird and kind of amazing.

Damn, this looks so unbelievably good!
I now regret seeing the direct footage now though, since they showed off quite a lot of the game but I hope there will be still many surprises.
Has there been any confirmation yet on whether there will be linear bowser stages (like in SM64/Galaxy) between the kingdoms? I really wish for them to return in Odyssey.
Join me and the many of us who go on 'media blackouts' to make games that much better when they're out ---- everything is a complete surprise.
It takes a lot of willpower to be on of us.

Not sure how I feel about going through each world linearly in a 3D game.
I just realized that at the beginning of the video when Koizumi presents the final game of the Direct and Mario appears throwing his hat to the screen as if he had just posessed Koizumi wich is why he then appears dressed as Mario, Lol! That's a nice detail it took me a whole day to notice.
Allows for the levels to be more creative and completely unique, as they don't have to have some cohesive transition from place to place.

Isn't that how it's always been? You start in one level, get just enough stars/shines/moons to unlock the next, and then you can go back and forth between them all to get the remaining stars/shrines/moons.

Every 3D Mario didn't let you go directly to any world. We don't know how many moons you need to move on but I'm sure you can entirely skip worlds if you want to.

Yeah, but I reckon this is only the case for the first couple of kingdoms, until you get to bowsers ship in the desert kingdom. After that story sequence I bet you're free to go wherever you want providing you have enough moon pieces.

The cheep cheep area is Seaside Kingdom, Not sure there is an underwater kingdom.

You can unlock worlds by collecting stars and shrines but you weren't forced to go through them in order. Like you can get a lot of stars in Bob-omb battlefied to unlock three more worlds but you can go straight to Cool Cool Mountains without visiting Whomp Fortress and Jolly Roger Bay first.
But if I heard Andre correctly, it sounded like you have to visit each world linearly like 2D Super Mario style.
This is also possible too. Maybe there are multiple neighboring kingdoms that get unlocked at a time too.
Isnt that the cap land place? (isnt cappy a ghost?)I just hope one of the remaining, unrevealed kingdoms is a haunted kingdom. Got to have Boos and haunted mansions in my 3D Mario!

Status quo for almost every 3D Mario post-Sunshine afaict (I have no memory of the reaction to Sunshine's spaceworld reveal)
Until they released that dope af October trailer with the big band jazz music and the crazy cloning cherry power-up, a noticible amount of disgruntled gamers were calling 3D World a lazy glorified 3DS port during the summer of 2013.
It looks like there are 69 in the Sand Kingdom. Nice
69 moons in a kingdom on average multiplied by let's say 15 Kingdoms total = approx. 1000 Moons. Nice round number?
Given the Cap Kingdom is likely one of the first ones you visit, if not the first, it's likely to be quite short and and unlikely to be the spooky world.
I can't be the only one who's always assumed Cappy was some kind of rabbit. Not only does he look like one in this shot, but there's the whole "rabbit out of a hat" thing.
I might actually just do that, since there's no need to convince myself to buy the game (as if I ever had to, lol).
No doubt this game will be a masterpiece and it reminds me of how much I love this series.
Anyway, see you all in one and a half months!
Heh

This game looks rad as hell.
Some of the kingdoms have mini levels that are linear and more platform heavy like 3D-world.Damn, this looks so unbelievably good!
I now regret seeing the direct footage now though, since they showed off quite a lot of the game but I hope there will be still many surprises.

Oh my. Someone should bump that buff shirtless dudes thread.
No no no, you needed a different Italian name. Surely its Nippetto.
It probably will have a dynamic resolution just like other first party games. Max probably will be 900p and that's mostly to keep it running at smooth 60fps.
