Mario 64 is the second worst 3D Mario game and 3D World is the second best.

Damn, same...
Didn't even realize I've skipped every major Mario since N64, that's insane to me.
The first step is admitting there's a problem.
One 8/10 made you not want to buy the game?
Cmon, you werent going to buy it anyway if youre discrediting every other reviewer on the planet.
Also what 3D Mario hasnt been about collecting? They all have .
The galaxy games were amazing. Hope they re-release then on switch

I was scared to click this topic after the last "review" thread was an account suicide.
Great reviews all around though, now to pray for release day delivery lol

Nintendo is just on another level this year.
Theyre already an amazing gaming developer without all these 10s. 2 GOTY games in one year. Incredible. Great way to start and end the year. Congrats nintendo.

Nobody said you have to, there are enough games you can enjoy...

I buy a system based partially on the promise that it provides for future enjoyment -- and much of that these days certainly centers on my ability to play it with/around my two young kids. But also, I tend to calculate the value of my investments in gaming differently these days as well. For me, for instance:
Legend of Zelda: BotW = ~150 hours of enjoyment
Cost = $300 + $60 (plus tax) = $360 + tax
$360 / 150 hours = ~$2.50 / hour
And, of course, this is the absolute worst-case scenario, presuming that I would only play a single game (albeit a massive one) over the course of the entire console's lifespan. That's a fairly inexpensive price of admission by my judgment, so for me, Zelda alone would have made it easily worth the cost of a Switch.
By comparison, most "normal" games might last around 20 hours, but at a typical price of $60, that's already a higher price of admission ($3/hour) -- even assuming that the console is free (or already in my possession). So justifying a purchase of a console using a particularly lengthy game of unconventionally high quality is a pretty easy decision for me, especially if I'm relatively sure I'll continue to extract value out of my ownership of the console going forward.

Just got home. These scores are pretty much expected. It'll surely drop to a 96 or a 95. Amazing though. It seems whenever IGN gives a game a 10 Gamespot does too.
I get it, and its a sad thing when Nintendo's hardware choices isolates their games from fans. I hope you have a delightful reunion with the ol' guy, should there be one.

The only thing that concerns me is being too easy. I at least want a little challenge
I respect his opinion but disagree with several of his claims. He mentioned this felt less active and not as sandboxy as Mario 64...the levels are huge and densely packed with way more stuff to do than 64. The fact that he holds galaxy on a pedestal and gave 3d World a 9/10 tells me he enjoys more linear Mario games. If collect a thon games aren't your thing, Mario Odyssey probably won't change that.
I was worried with that too back when Super Mario 3D World came out. Most concerns where that the game was a tad easy in general... and it was indeed. But the last 2 worlds and the whole post-game content were very difficult. Especially the very very last level wich up to this day, I still haven't beat it and is the only remaing level to 100% the game. It is that difficult. So I'm not worried on that aspect with Odyssey and I'm sure it gets challenging af on the later levels. Even more once you try to 100% the game.

Im guessing it gets capped at 1.0 or 10, however theyre storing the actual number that gets aggregated.

I haven't liked a Mario since 64..enough to be truly engrossed in it. So this has me excited.

Been waiting 20 years for a 3D mario like 64. I hope this increases Switch sales even further! Challenge (or lack thereof) is always a concern but early reports are positive.

Yeah. It seems to have a good amount of post game content as well. According to IGN the main game lasted 15 hours or so.
Ive let my nephews and niece borrow the switch the past few months so it's about time I reclaimed it. I left them my old Wii U with FOUR Mario games as well as 20+ dowbloaded games a few weeks ago and they hadn't touched it since I last visited (it was still in bag i brought it over) so I think I get first dibs on Oddyseey.
Poncho mario let's go.

What motion controls. How would any work in handheld mode?

The motions controls dont work when handheld or using the pro controller. You lose fine control of throwing Cappy, but it wasnt bad at E3.

Hey thanks
My copy should be here tomorrow, looking forward to this. And I agree, their hardware was 100% the reason I was out for so long and missed so many good games, specifically their controller choices, wiimote might be my least favorite controller ever.
I watched NVC and they said the motion controls, flicking the controller to throw cappy, does work with the pro controller.
I've played for 14 hours, this is not true.
It does. Was just doing it.
I finished the game today and posted a ~5 minute spoiler free video review
this game is pretty good.

i'm jealous of Switch owners, damn, last time i wanted a mario game so bad was Mario Galaxy 1
but there is no way i'm getting a switch for just 1 game, to redeem my purchase, i need at least Mario odyssey, Fire emblem( not dynasty warriors) and another major success game
i may get the switch once Metroid prime 4 comes out( if it's good), i haven't played any Metroid game and i heard nothing but praise for Prime 1
