Super Mario Odyssey follows the gameplay lineage established in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine with open spaces and an extremely flexible moveset to navigate these spaces non-linearly. Mario has to discover, earn, or reach moons (no relation) to power the Odyssey, his aircraft, to chase after Bowser and Peach. Mario has a buddy with him this time: Cappy, his googly-eyed hat which he can throw and use for even more crazy platforming. But that is not all, throwing Cappy at enemies or random objects in the world lets Mario take them over. Ever wanted to be Taxi Mario? Well...

Many other amiibo also unlock costume parts.

Nice.

Trying to decide digital or cartridge..

 

[dc89]

Really can’t wait. Not read any reviews, just seen the scores and I’m ready.

 

[Ultimadrago]

I'm hoping Best Buy requests pick-up sooner than later (as I've had issues in the past).

 

[linkboy]

I'm picking my copy up at my Gamestop in the mall. They're doing an early release at 10pm tonight.

Can't wait to play it.

 

[Solo Act]

This game has had 3 OTs before it even releases!

I plan on buying this around 3am after getting up to buy the iPhone X. Will play this weekend and am very much looking forward to it.

 

[Pilgrimm]

Like the OT!

You said in the OT thread there will be something special about this one?

Can't see it?

 

[GinoFelino]

Fuck it I'm not going to be that guy

Nice OT

I can't remember. How can you tell if your GS is doing a early release? I haven't done it since halo 2.

 

[defusal]

Why waste a perfectly good OT on a dying forum? Surely you have an Era invite by now

The other OT at the other place is better. Moon knows what he is doing.

 

[Niceguydan8]

Fuck it I'm not going to be that guy

Nice OT

Good man. I saw your post before the edit. Glad you fixed it.

 

[Osukaa]

Dammit im trying to hold out on getting this game off until the end of the year..... You may have ruined my plans.... -_-

 

[Typhares]

I never skipped a nintendo console because of their exclusive game but I regretted buying a WiiU as even the Mario/Zelda that we got on it were far from my favorite.
I'll be buying a Switch for this game though, no regrets! And I've been waiting to buy BOTW as well.

 

[dili]

Fuck it I'm not going to be that guy

Nice OT

Good.

 

[Thugnificent]

Love the dichotomy between your OTs. Good job. I’ll see you and everyone else on the other side!

 

[Kiro]

He made both OTs for both sites. They are both great, but they are different in a very cool way.

Looks great moon. I can only post here right now. But looks great!

 

[ZiZ]

when does the digital version unlock in the US?

 

[linkboy]

I can't remember. How can you tell if your GS is doing a early release? I haven't done it since halo 2.

Mine let me know when I paid my preorder off yesterday. They're in the mall, which closes at 9, so I imagine Gamestop had to pull some strings with Nintendo to break the street date.

 

[Caayn]

Nice OT, shame I can't play until Saturday and even then for barely an hour orso

 

[hoverboarder]

Tomorrow can't come soon enough! With OT scrubbed (for now) from the site, my post history for gaming only made it easy to find threads I posted in in 2007 as Galaxy 1 was about to come out. 10 years later, I'm just as excited (if not more) for this upcoming game.

Here we go!

Come on África. I want to play!!!!!

 

[Ultimadrago]

Are you telling me...the Bowser letter?

Oh boy.

Like the OT!

Bowser Letter for GAF
Peach Letter for ResetERA

Let's say the Peach letter is...erm...more explicit about alluding to certain recent forum-related events, Bowser storming upon Peach and taking her against her will despite verbal rejection.
I had a feeling TheMoon would do something like this.

 

[NahaNago]

Thank god motion controls are optional and thanks for putting that info in the OT.

 

[jaybe00]

Nice OT TheMoon. I may just buy a Switch yet from the reviews and hype.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

Mwahahahaha. I love it.

 

[LordOcidax]

I cant wait to play this game.

 

[kitchenmotors]

That Bowser letter lmao

(she’s kind)

 

[BigBadGiantHand]

(She’s Kind)

Beautiful OT, both of ‘em.

 

[TheMoon]

might have gotten that wrong, was basing this off of E3 info. assume it's not optional until someone confirms!

 

[Sesuadra]

I am happy that one of my last posts on this forum will be to tell you how awesome it is what you have done. 6/5 moon.
savage, delicate. perfect.

Gut gemacht! vor allem mit dem Brief.

there is a setting in the options to turn them off

 

[Wireframe]

Great OT, playing right now!

 

[mindatlarge]

Nice, OT.

Just got the confirmation that my copy has shipped from BB. Counting down the minutes now!

 

[The Main Event]

That OT got me good.

 

[brad-t]

Great OT!

 

[Lucumo]

Bowser Letter for GAF
Peach Letter for ResetERA

That Bowser letter has by far the better design. Pretty awesome OP, in all respects.

[JonnyKong]

This game is SO GOOD.

Just finished a boss which I never thought I'd see the likes of in a Mario game, incredible. (if a little easy)

 

[SinCityAssassin]

Optional.

Crap. I preordered mine a few months ago. I guess I'll have to call.

 

[czk51]

Just been delivered to my work, got the Switch in my bag. Now to schedule that 'meeting'.

 

[Doctor_Mosh]

if i downloaded the preload for the game can i start playing at midnight or do i have to wait till a specified time?

 

[YuShtink]

Just caved and ordered on Amazon Prime for $48. I'm pumped!

 

[Hideki Kamiya]

NINTENDO JUST DOES NOT STOP DELIVERING AMAZING GAMES IN PROVIDENCE.

 

[Osukaa]

Yeah I love the color scheme of the OT on here. Great Job

yea, i got clarification now. it's not mandatory but it opens up many advanced moves.

 

[moltonasty]

LMAO @ that double OT whammy. Well done TheMoon.

Waiting on my copy to arrive and wishing I could post on the other OT like:

 

[Lovely Salsa]
