Happy to see, but I'd expect nothing less. Looks like a game for the ages.

20% Mario haha
I'm kind of sad Jim Sterling isn't doing reviews anymore, I'd love to see the meltdown from people upset over him giving this game 7 /s. Can't wait to for more reviews to come out. 16 days seems so far away
8 actually with Bayonetta 2

Wow this is embarrassing, you probably didn't even bother to check if it was the same person who reviewed them, just had to get in there first to quell Nintendo positivity.
In more mature matters, great to see the game is stellar

This has got to be the best launch year of any console, right?

He is still doing reviews, it's just that they're videos on his YouTube channel now and he's obviously blacklisted by Nintendo so won't b getting a review copy. His review will end up here when he gives it.
EDIT ignore now obviously, I've seen his site.

Nintendo media bias again. Nobody would care if it was Super Bario Odyssey.

They won't be able to forever. It's simply not a physical possibility, whether it's next year or the year after, there will be a lull in first party releases eventually. The best Games take 3+ years to make now and Nintendo doesn't have enough top tier teams to keep a stream like BOTW, ARMS, Splatoon 2, Mario Oddessy, Xenoblade 2 (and mk8 rerelease) going every year. 2016 was one of Nintendos weakest years so they could have a strong first year for 2017.
The benefit of going all in early like they did here Vs the abject failure to do so with Wii U is that if they can get a big enough audience, third parties will cover those periods for them.
It's exclusive but not made by Nintendo directly, that's why I didn't count it. But yes, let's say 8 exclusives.
It's one of the biggest developer out there, so yes, actually I didn't criticized it.
My list would be filled with a more diverse games and developers than N, they're not the only that gave us masterpieces out there.
Without a doubt. And the year doesn't end until March.

lol. Sunshine is nowhere near a 10. It's not a disaster and it's rather creative, but it never reached really high highs.
Giving a game a lower score just to be contradictory is not only puerile but also defeats the point of why reviews exist.

This thread is already turning into a preview of the real review thread. Sheesh.
The only correct thing you've ever said.

Funny to contrast the hype levels for Odyssey versus Galaxy ten years ago. Seemed like Galaxy received a much more muted enthusiasm compared to that of Brawl, Metroid Prime 3 and Twilight Princess, then the reviews came in and people started playing it and it felt like surprise, best game ever!
Wonder if people were still wary of Nintendo in the early Wii days compared to now where all their good will seems to be coming from gamers alone.

I'm excited the secret stuff they've shown has me Dark Souls excited. Not everything is written in front of you, some you have to discover secretly, which I love.
Well it is better than some other games on that list.

weird take
The thirst of a real sequel to Mario 64 + past 2 mainline 3D Mario games weren't true 3D by some.
You kidding? It totally reached high highs! You know the big tree in Pianta Village? That's super high!

You don't just score games with a 10 "just for diversity". They gave 12 non Nintendo games a 10.

4/10 with one point being awarded per Kingdom.

It's probably worth considering that they will be able to deliver on a more consistent basis due to the merging of their two departments.

Or maybe he would give it a 10 if he thought it deserved it. The text of his BotW review justifies his score. He had issues with the game, issues I shared, they just didn't bother me as much as they did him.
Edit: Saw your post below and agree.

3D Marios getting 10s? 3D World did okay but it was never a guarantee these days.
/s Jim did an excellent job in explaining why BotW didn't click with him and totally justified his score. It wasn't supposed to be taking the piss but simply acknowledging that he didn't care for it like everyone else did. Thus why it's too bad to see him move from written reviews given that he has done a very thorough job of explaining his thoughts on the quality of games through reviews.
