It looks like Cappy's land is some kind of afterlife for hats. Never thought I'd type "afterlife for hats".
You can see Mario's original cap all beaten and torn up there in the direct footage.
I think they showed at least 9 worlds in trailers plus there are more on the world map.

When might we expect a pricecut for Switch?

Not this year, that's for sure.

The closest you'll get for at least a year is a bundle.
It's insane we get multiple GOAT tier games in a fucking single year and in a console launch year even.
lewd!

They're already doing a Mario bundle. At the soonest, maybe that exact time next year. Otherwise I don't see it for another 2.
When sales start to slow down and even then, they might have a hardware revision to keep the price up at that point. Bundles are your best bet at getting a better value for your money.

Anyone know when we will be able to order digital version from the eshop and how much it's likely to cost? In UK

You mean a pricecut for a system that's already struggling to meet demand at its current price?
At the end of next year is the earliest I expect it to happen.

You're better off going physical in the UK. Digital prices are horrendously expensive. Odyssey will likely be £60 if its priced the same as Zelda. You'll save £10-£20 if you buy the physical version on Amazon.
Seems by what? Where do you guys get 900p max from?

The bundles don't save you any money. In fact, you're better off using a Best Buy or Amazon discount and buying the bundled game physically.

The Snow kingdom peeps might be the things we're seen racing near the end of the trailer (after you've presumably made the skies clear)? No ideas for Cascade and Seaside, though (but I'd be okay if seaside was all dogs <3)
Cappy and Mario might actually get separated during this part of the story and you're supposed to find him to be able to use him again. It'd be cool to see Cappy turn into a Russian Winter Hat for Mario
There's also the heavyset Broodal with the gold Chain Chomp. Previously we thought there were only four Broodals; now we know there are at least five. Since the Cascade Kingdom appears to be World 2 on the world map (after Cap Kingdom and before Sand Kingdom), I wonder if the heavyset Broodal there is like the mother and head of the family, and thus the boss of the evil wedding planning firm. And then the kids are introduced in the ship scene in the Sand Kingdom, at which point you fight Harriet.
Exactly

I still can't get over how impressive a pun Broodals is.
It's a play on Bridal
It's a play on Brutal
It's a play on Brood
Most of my best puns are two layered, at best. Nintendo upped their pun game.

Even cheaper would be to buy the Mario Odyssey bundle via Target with a Red card. If you want the red Joy Con and the carrying case that is. You'll save 5% off the retail price.
Otherwise, it's even cheaper to buy a standard console at Target and buy the physical game via Amazon/Best Buy discount. Best Buy is the better value if you already have it, as Mario is one of their "Get a $10 reward for pre-ordering" games. So that's more money saved.

I'm hoping for 15 kingdoms in total to match SM64 but this is pretty good and looks like it could be accurate. Would mean there are 11 kingdoms (possibly 12, if the Moon is one). Which would be pretty good.Allow me to get a little crazy for a sec

Where are the screenshots or art for her???
She looked awesome.
Yeah, I really like her design as well. Seems like a pretty complex character model. Just the face alone looks rather complex. Great color scheme, too — really dig the gold line running through the turquoise blue hair. Her pearl necklace has a grand moon, so she's clearly a major boss. I wonder if you fight her by capturing her chomp and snapping it back at her (as we've seen Mario do with a regular chomp to break a wall). I also wonder what wedding-related item the Broodals are looking for in the Cascade Kingdom?
Also, note the fashion similarity between this Broodal and Pauline. NPCs back in New Donk City did mention that many people try to ape Pauline's style...

That's a beautifully textured chain chomp.

Wow I knew she was big but not that big.
Looks like a transparent dome will lock you inside a boss area.

Well, I guess, but then we must always remember the poor souls who owned a Wii U and saw the console get no games near the end because Nintendo has shifted focus completely. It'd be pretty poor showing if the Switch's launch somehow managed to not really deliver at least on the 1st party front for them.
Anyway, previous trailers I'd been sort of not sold on the game yet, but I think the new one finally clicked. Very impressed by the photo mode, in particular. Could see myself having a ton of fun with that, and it seems really robust with tons and tons of options. The new 'beach world' there also looks veeeery nice.

It was even worse if you were a Wii owner during the transition to Wii U.
2011 was already extremely disappointing, but then it was followed by a mostly barren 2012 and easily the worst first year a Nintendo system has ever had in 2013. 2014 and 2015 were better in the sense that they were driven by exciting games (Mario Kart 8 and Smash 4) and new IP (Splatoon), but those years were also pretty dry.
2017 has shown us that Nintendo never had any excuses about failing to deliver games in a console's first year.

Cappy is the ghost of a deceased Broodal, right? Surely this is the case... the eyes, the 4 legs, the out-of-a-hat thing... his siblings must have murdered him in cold blood, and, being the only non-evil member of his family - he has returned to help Mario in a quest for vengeance.

Yeah I think they can fit in plenty of concepts with 12, with the larger areas they don't really need multiple snow levels or a level designed around one building.
And again, the game makes it pretty obvious that everyone/thing with a hat you won't be able to control.
Maybe even moreso. Mario games don't really even have stories so much as "premises"
I'm not AS blown away by this as most people. I really liked the roll Nintendo was on with Galaxy and 3D Land/World, but it is time for a change (Nintendo doesn't seem to like repeating themselves too much with mainline Mario and Zelda games).
I'm willing to give the large open level thing another shot (been a long time since Sunshine), but the mis-matched visual styles of the different worlds rub me the wrong way. Nintendo has done a great job of giving Mario games a distinctive and cohesive "look" in recent years, and this just sort of looks like a mess.
That said, it's still a definite buy.

Punished Cappy.
To call that a "transition" is generous. Wii was dead well before they got the Wii U out. It was like the "transition" from Saturn to Dreamcast.

Nope, doesnt look like its getting one. Especially that its in a bundle.
I'll be going digital with this game as well.
