Mario: Cultural Appropriation Edition.

I saw Mario in the Mexican outfit and the American stripes, and I knew the Twitter crowd will flip their shit about Mario "dressing up" as different cultures. Just wait for those headlines folk...

 

[GlassAwful]

Is there any platforming in this game that resembles Mario 64? All I see is 3D World style camera and wide open zero skill required platforms just like 3D world.

And way too much focus on the gimmick versus mariod acrobatic moves. This is not a follow up to 64 at all.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

I hope the inevitable interviews bring up Space Station Silicon Valley (like how Ratchet and Clank was mentioned regarding Super Mario Galaxy). The idea of enemy possession and using their unique movesets to progress was the main feature of that game.

 

[phanphare]

omg that 3D -> 2D

this game looks amazing

 

[Neoxon]

We Link Between Worlds, now?

 

[Monkeyball]

So gooooood

 

[Hubbl3]

Nintendo are god damn geniuses. The 8-bit Mario / Link Between Worlds stuff is awesome

 

[Puruzi]

fuck it I changed my tune

I wanted a level based game like 3d world again but this shit looks fucking dope as hell

so in

 

[yanipheonu]

Man I expect at least one oversensitive article about the Mexican level.

 

[evilromero]

I love the costume variety. Truly the most ambitious Mario game ever. So glad this is happening.

Also, it's so crazy to see Mario running around in such different clothes. Feels like I'm dreaming of some Mario game I never thought we'd see.

I'm surprised it doesn't kick you out after each Moon. I guess that allows for more seamless exploration, but I wonder if there will still be stars where there is an obvious/significant change in the stage for a specific star. That said, I'm loving how similar it is to Mario 64 with regards to the single line star descriptions to somewhat push you in the right direction while also encouraging you to explore and find those Moons.

 

[slightconfuse]

Game looks really good.

 

[Ricky 7]

This game looks really good, like really good.

 

[Chittagong]

This really is Super Mario 64 2, moon missions = stars, with the difference you don't get kicked out of the stage

 

[Adam Prime]

They haven't said anything on stream about Multiplayer yet right? We need SOMETHING.

 

[clemenx]

THis looks amazing visually for me. Love the variety and craziness. Mario should have no boundaries.

I will always love more the straight up platforming of the Galaxies, I personally don't care much about "Mario 64 style" but I think it looks awesome.

 

[Neoleo2143]

Man, if that's the theme song of Mario Odyssey. That was one of the best vocal songs from a Videogame I ever heard. Wow.

 

[Realeza]

Good Lord I want this NOW.

 

[ErrorMacro]

This will be the BotW of the Mario games.

 

[daffy]

Or, according to the really fucking cool kids, "woke", whatever the hell that means.

Stay in your house breh

 

[Timeaisis]

This game looks incredibly varied. Really cool.

 

[J-Tier]

The hat possession mechanic turned this game from a passing interest to a must buy for me.

This and X-Com Rabbids. Fucking Nintendo man, killing it

I think we're looking at the first levels of the game... can't really make that judgement of "not hard enough levels" from what we're seeing this week.

 

[witness]

Unbelievable! I gotta find a Switch!

 

[Takat]

The game looks absolutely wonderfilled!

so much to do. It's basically open world. and the 2d and changing of costumes, so great.

I just wish their feed was better, it's really low quality.

 

[InfiniteBento]

They are showing so much content for this on treehouse right now

It looks incredible

 

[Brodnax]

Rip 1UP 'shrooms

 

[Chittagong]

Holy shit at that 2D wall Link style stage

 

[Ristifer]

This game looks dope.

 

[Kolibri]

Such an odd mish-mash of art styles. Was it made with Gary's Mod?

 

[mark-san]

Anyone watching the Treehouse? Gameplay looks amazing. I really love those 2D segments (SMB style)!

 

[Litri]

Ehhh, into my veins now!

 

[Monkeyball]

Nintendo is so good at staying fresh with their games.

 

[UnemployedVillain]

What kind of drugs enabled this to be conceived and thought up?

 

[Adam Prime]

Wow I need an 8-bit perler bead sprite of Mexican Mario!!

 

[-griffy-]

Look at this:

This is not proper or appropriate. Someone set up a petition.

 

[7DollarHagane]

This game is really special. Love all the changes they are making and new ideas.

 

[bndadm]

This game looks amazing. Really nice to see this new design approach and the 2d to 3d was great.

 

[lumi7890]

I want this game like today! Time to get a switch.

[Future]

Not gonna lie, I wasn't sure about this when I saw all the New York shit in march

But now....this is looking galaxy level amazing. Hat mechanic is on point

 

[Sora the Cat]

Game of the generation. It looks so good.

 

[BorkBork]

This is the most excited I've been for a Mario game since Mario 64. Perhaps it's Mushroom Kingdom fatigue, but this looks super fresh and weird and funky.

Song fits like a glove too.

Naturally.

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

For all the talk of this game succeeding 64/Sunshine, the stage design looks tight enough that, along with certain elements like the blending of 2D platforming with 3D surfaces like cylinders, the influences of the original Galaxy are palpable.

 

[DirtyLarry]

I already had this game Preordered without much info.
I see doing so has been confirmed.
I said hot damn!!

The crazy thing is I should just be about wrapping up BOTW by the time this comes out.

 

[Hubbl3]

I love the designs of the Broodals

 

[Cooter]

Why is Nintendo so good? Hot damn that was pure sex!

Mario 64 is the game that actually took zero skill. Acrobatic character yes, but super basuc platformer. 3D World was much better in that regard.
