Super Mario Odyssey Preview | Playfully Average - OnlySP

"In a recent hands-on preview, OnlySP played a demo of the upcoming 3D platformer, and the experience was a mixture of comical, refreshing, and reminiscent of Super Mario predecessors dating back to the Nintendo 64. The game is looking to offer an interesting playthrough, but is not likely to redefine 3D platform video games. While Nintendo does appear to be improving upon already-entertaining forebears, the company will need to dig deeper if Mario’s latest journey is to outshine previous installments."

"Not likely to redefine 3D platform games." Well it has only been 21 years since mario 64 came out. I don't know what else there is to do from a creative stand point?

I will say this Galaxy did look more innovative, but this game looks incredible in its own right. Pretty much a must buy game if you own a Switch.

I think the point was that it's a pretty standard Super Mario game, which is not to say it's a bad or subpar game in any way; just that it doesn't offer much beyond what games like Super Mario 64 and Sunshine offer. That being said, the Mario games are popular for a reason, even if they don't reinvent the genre with each additional game.

My top 3 are Mario 3, Mario World and Mario 64. Mario Odyssey is also excellent, and I enjoyed Sunshine but didn't care for the Galaxy series.

Animal crossing came out the week the entire world shutdown. Yeah I bought it.

Agreed. I think a lot of the AC: H sales have to do with early lockdown players!

I mean, I would've played it anyway. But I guess there's a lot of people who got into it because of the hype and their new found free time!

Nintendo made out like bandits with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It's the same game that was on the WiiU except they added 2 item boxes like in double dash.

It's the Capcom method:

1. Add a new word to the end of the title and features that should've been expected first time around.
2. Charge full price for it.
3. Profit.
