Nintendo @ Gamescom - Streaming Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, more

Grapple Beam being used to pull switches is a nice expansion of the classic ability. Also, this is only the 2nd time the Grapple Beam has shown up in a 2D game.

I predicted the whole Metroids having unique abilities thing. It makes for a less repetitive experience when you have so many Metroids to kill. Glad to see this won't be like AM2R or the original in that aspect.

Chozo Memories are an awesome idea. Can't wait to find out more about the Chozo.

I'm trying to stay cool, maybe we'll just see the same demo from E3... With Super Mario Odyssey and Metroid, we got some nice interviews with Koizumi and Sakamoto, but apparently Takahashi won't be there so I'm not sure if they'll show new footage or even new information. But on the other side, Soraya retweeted the presentation so....

*hypehypehype* ^__^

Xenoblade please be impressive this time. E3 demo was disappointing.

Don't get your hopes up... Not enough time has passed, maybe it's the same build. Also, not sure this game will be a looker like XCX was on Wii U. It looks pretty good for what it is, IMO. The promise of some polishing before release is cool but don't expect massive differences...

Are you talking about the actual demo or just the trailer, because the demo was pretty nice and expounded upon some great stuff to know

I liked the trailer just fine... They way they presented the demo tho reminded me of ffxv demos lol. The concepts sounded really cool be they showed it in a slow awful way.

There's no way it's not new footage. Takahashi could be needed at the studio and don't have time to come out. I need almost an hour of new footage goodness ☺️

They said at E3 if they had another few weeks they would've had an English build ready.
 
Wont be able to see it live but really hyped for XB2.

Found this on YT from Gamescom.

18 minute interview with Brjann Sigurgeirsson about the game:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KW5RKHN7sQ

(If you for some reason want to skip that interview, you probably want to see at least the last 30 seconds of it.
"It is coming very very very soon"
)

7 minutes off-screen footage:

Interesting interview. Brjann also says he promises there will be a standalone physical edition of Steamworld Dig 2. He also says the release date is already set. Maybe we'll find out at PAX West or a new direct. He also hints at revealing the composer soon.

Edit: Also here's some direct feed video of the game level from GDC: https://youtu.be/Re2Q10nMXL4
The game looks solid but I enjoyed the Heist gameplay more than I did the Dig gameplay. The music gives off a strong SNES platformer vibe. Moody but fun.
 
Xenoblade and 9 Parchments

So... Hyped!


Also a bit nervous about X2
Hope they will confirm date and limited edition without unpleasant surprises about the infamous (and non existent so far) delay
 
I need to keep my XB2 expectations in check. The original Xenoblade was kind of a massive disappointment for me, though I did play it after reading months and months of impressions hailing it as the second coming of the JRPG Christ.

But I'm having a hard time doing it. Somehow XBX hit all the right notes with me despite the awful non-existent story and now I can't help but be super excited for XB2, as nonsensical as that is.

At least I'll be going in day one with XB2.
 
Damn, I'm going to stop watching now, this game is too f'ing awesome not to experience as fresh as I can! Will be back for the Xenoblade 2 section.

edit: if you run into a cactus you lose health and your nose stays red because you hit the cactus with it. The attention for details, damn.
 
It looks like the build they're playing now is the E3 one, which is also on the show floor. It would have interesting to see if the moon count on the HUD changed based on where you were. Like the overworld, ice cave and underground.
 
Man, Charles Martinet seems to be a nice and funny person, and qenuinely enjoys doing promo-stuff for Mario games. A perfect choice to voice Mario.

Koizumi, Miyamoto and Martinet all seem to genuinely love what they do.

"Just keep the biz rolling, Kimi. We're here to have fun."

edit: back in 1/2 hour? isnt the next thing xeno in 1 hour 1/2?
 
People will have beat the game and be debating possible connections to part 1 and there will still be those who wonder if it will come out in 2017.
 
I heard there were hands-on for some press people at Gamescom but still under embargo, I wonder if they'll be allowed to post previews once the gameplay section is over.
