Where's the multimoon that was once frozen in the desert? I returned when the place has defrosted but I can't find it in its original spot!

Are you sitting upright while playing? I was having issues with the motion based controls earlier, but I was laying in my recliner while playing. As soon as I sat upright, the problems went away. Going to take a while to get used to not lounging while playing a game, but the extra moves are too much fun to pass up.

does amazon no longer do 20% off discounts? i wanted to buy it this morning
They no longer do discounts after the game has been released.

I think maybe that was
foreshadowing for the Knucklotec fight under the pyramid
Gatdamn. The excitement.
I can only imagine the wonder this game would inspire in a kid. Mario 64 was pure magic to me back in the day.
Whoof, that sounds like a time vacuum if you're shooting for the true ending! Good luck

Was going to wait till payday but the hype train got me! Downloading now. Haven't played a Mario game since Mario 64. I mainly stick to rpgs and fps. Definitely looks like I will enjoy it though. Hyped!

This game might be the most pure fun I've had with a game in so long. I love it. Thank you Nintendo!
The movement mechanics are absolutely the best in the business.

Why not? What seems off, or what were you expecting? Just curious.
Mines out for delivery by USPS but they usually come later in the day
Feel your pain, I wanted UPS to deliver. They come before 3.
If you would have pre order before 3 AM the discount would have still been there. I don't think their system updates till 4 AM.
Nothing really wrong with the game. Functionally, it's right on the money. Personally I'm not feeling the hat throw mechanic, but that's just my own problem. When I'm running, every fibre of my being wants to hit 'Y' to dive, but it throws the hat instead.
The problem is me. Collecting things in a 3D world just isn't my jam anymore I guess. This is the second time now, following Yooka-Laylee. I thought Mario would be different because it's Mario, but no dice. It sux.

Yeah the SM64 vibes are strong in this one. Then again I also get Galaxy feels from it too.
Can't believe how slow this thread is moving. RIP GAF.

Seven fucking minutes between your post and the last on launch day for this game is just so insane. The silence is deafening!

Can't play it today because I get the Switch today and will be putting a tampered glass screen on it and want to let it set for awhile.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
You think that's bad, try living somewhere where this game isn't be carried locally and the major online retailers can't give you "release day delivery". My copy will be here next Wednesday which sucks because it sounds like everyone is loving this game.
It's enough to almost make me want to trust Nintendo with an eShop purchase. Almost.

Just started playing and what's with all the motion control tutorials and the long ass loading screen showing using the joycons not connected to the console? It's like they don't want me to play handheld :O

Does anyone know what you're supposed to do with the hint pictures? I've found two of the locations now but I don't know what the game actually wants me to do when I get there.

so I have to fight it again for that moon, or was it meant to be the moon on that boss fight?

I almost didn't see tutorials for movements until the odisey, that said, i've discovered that most motion control moves work on handheld although most of them are optional.
Until now, the only ones i can't do without some motion is changing the hat throw direction mid air and the vertical hat throws, the rest can be done with the stick + buttons. But as i said, you can just shake the whole console on handheld mode and do the motion control exclusive movements too.

Picked it up at midnight last night, put in a good hour or so in docked mode with the pro controller and it was magical. Had to catch an early morning train today and put in another 2 hours there, and the fact that this system goes from docked to fully portable so seamlessly never seems to lose its luster. Cannot believe I can just take this game with me wherever, but here we are.

So Ive only had issues in one Kindom so far. It was fine when I started the game. Might see how it acts on the next kingdom to see if its really the controller or the game.
Gonna call Nintendo and go ahead and probably send them in for repair. Glad I have a pro controller now.

One of the problems with going in blind is not knowing the game was going to be plagued with motion controls. It's ruining the experience for me (that and the awful camera)
Apart from the awful controls though everything else feels great, although I really miss a hub world and the charm of peaches castle and delfino plaza, with them being their own world's in their own right.
The game looks great, although the switch is really showing its a generation behind in terms of graphics, even more noticeable than with Zelda.
I'm guessing im not really far enough in to see why this is the GOAT Mario game, but I'm really happy to see they've gone back to the 64/sunshine style and I've not put the game down since it finally arrived.

How much of this can be alleviated by turning off motion controls?

Plagued with motion controls? Care to elaborate? I've played a couple hours and it doesn't seem anywhere close to necessary.

Just got back from picking my copy up at Best Buy, and the pick up area behind the desk had a bunch of copies waiting for people to pick them up.
They are also giving out some nice little extras with it, a poster and a Cappy collector's coin.
Okay, time for me to start playing!

Hat spin move tied to shaking the controller, some animal controls tied to shaking controller
super jump on frog
Okay not so much "motion controls" more having to shake the controller to achieve basic actions. Playing with a pro controller it's really jarring.
As far as I can tell turning motion controls off hasn't changed anything, not sure what turning it off was supposed to do, but I'm still having to shake the controller to do spin moves.
I will say though I've not found any of these moves necessary for a moon yet, but I'm only a couple hours in. I find the hat aoe spin really useful so having to keep shaking my controller reminds me of playing twilight princess on the Wii again.
I guess you went all dark playing before playing this game since it was promoted a lot but yes, press D-Pad down.

Game is amazing as expected.
It seems like Nintendo basically blew their load all over 2017. Two all time masterpieces within a 6-month window. Just hope the refractory period isn't too long.

No recent Mario games, you stick to RPGs and shooters... But you bought a switch!?

My take is that it's meant to be the moon you get from that boss fight.
I could of course be wrong in which case I'll eat crow.

I've been playing with the joycons and its great.. Cant believe some of the complaints.. The game is awesome.

Just wait until you unlock Waluigi mode. That's when the game really opens up.
For real though you should tag that if you aren't making a goof.

Cool thanks for the heads up, the motion controls seem to be a really polarizing issue
Niceguydan8

I guess I'm just saying that outside of some very specific use cases, it doesn't feel necessary at all. The hat spin move, for example looks cool but isn't really necessary for anything in the game.
Saying it's "plagued" just seems a little extreme from my experience.

Oh great, thanks!
I went back last night after discovering Jaxi, but when I hit the cactus, I didn't see a moon. Must have fallen off.
