Looks pretty good actually. My friend is dead-set on paying whatever it costs for the Switch. No matter how ridiculous the price of accessories and other added costs. He eats what ever whatever Ninty dish out and he says 'praise Nintendo'.

But Mario 64 was definitely one of my favourite games. I hope Odyssey is massive. With heaps of bosses and not too strange and quirky.

Vegamyster2658d ago

I'd be lying if i said i wasn't in the same boat, I've been waiting for a true sequel to M64 since i beat it, Sunshine was good but felt limited in the tropical setting. Odyssey so far looks like that true sequel which as me excited but we'll see as more footage comes out.

SugarSoSweet2658d ago (Edited 2658d ago )

How so? This looks nothing like M64

thorstein2658d ago

Didn't you play SM Galaxy or Galaxy 2? They are amazing.

sinjonezp2658d ago

I like the moves set in this new MARIO that's a given. However, like many have said, it's not mind blowing. It gives you that sonic adventure feel. There are some very nice additions like riding the golden dog was awesome. I just hope it captures us like Mario 64 did. I can go on and on and I will most likely buy this but I really wanted something mind blowing that change the way we game. Going from super Mario 3 to super Mario world, or going from super Mario world to super Mario 64 to galaxy. Something about the game has to make you feel as tho it's not more of the same.

Large open environments in a number of different settings to explore.

@thorstein

Of course, they're great games but they're not based on exploration platforming like M64 or Sunshine, they're linear levels.

The Great Melon2657d ago (Edited 2657d ago )

@Vegamyster

That's also why I am looking forward to Odyssey. All of the Wii and Wii U era Marios were just so linear albeit pretty. I remember getting the N64 as a kid and was amazed by the openness of the game.

Good thing the Switch package has all the necessities in it from the start, aside from the Switch Pro. Your buddy won't pay any extra if he doesn't need that or a lan adaptor.XD

DashArrivals2658d ago

Man, he's getting everything. I just have to hassle him majorly after he finishes Zelda so I can maybe play it. Zelda looks so good and so much fun

EddieNX 2658d ago

Does anyone know how Good the joycon are in the grip? I might try that first and if I like it skip a pro controller

You guys keep on bringing up price of accessories. What do you need additional accessories for??? I'm not buying additional accessories for my Switch i didnt buy any for my PS4 or Xbox one either!

And at least the Switch gives you 2 player with the base unit as it is.

zaytron2658d ago (Edited 2658d ago )

Nintendo console had always been a family oriented console, and very popular on local multiplayer comparing to PS4/XO. To give you an example, a game like ARMS (boxing game) will required a second set of Joy-Con, increasing the investment an additional $80 ($110 if you want to add the grip to charge them). Again, as you mentioned, if not for everybody but those with family members (kids), who look to the Switch to be that family gaming platform, will be expensive to accomplish. Looking forward for Nintendo to succeed with the Switch and hopefully we get better 3rd party accessories options to make it more affordable.

yomfweeee2658d ago

I thought I was in the same boat. I was going to get it just for Zelda alone at launch and the exclusives the rest of the gen. But 5 games only and no new Mario until the end of the year. I changed my mind. I'll wait until I get some kind of a sale.

2658d ago
XanderZane2657d ago

I'm waiting as well. Not enough games for it yet and we still need to see what those 50 3rd party developers deliver. I still have a few more Wii U games to get as well anyway. I hope they become dirt cheap, but I doubt it. Nintendo never lowers their prices on games.

joab7772658d ago

Mario 64 was unreal! The original Zelda, Mario 64, and Ocarina of Time were revolutionary for video gaming! Unfortunately, we don't live in an age in which a $300-$500 console can thrive on a few huge IPs anymore. And while Odyssey will be great, it isn't industry defining anymore! Nintendo needs to realize that we want MORE! Not just small iteration hops, but leaps and bounds! We want to see them push themselves to the limit!

Unfortunately they aren't willing to invest the time or resources that most others are willing to invest!

Of course i'm buying. I've beaten every Super Mario game since the NES.

CocoaBrother2658d ago

The only one I haven't beaten was Super Mario Bros. 2. Other than that, I've beaten them all too. Lots of fun.

Moonman2658d ago (Edited 2658d ago )

You can probably play and beat that when they give you the free month of it for online subscription. ;p But I am excited for Odyssey because on Treehouse, Miyamoto started from Mario 64 and explained what the teams were aiming for in terms of difficulty for each 3D Mario game. Mario 64 and Sunshine being far more difficult than the two Galaxy games and the easiest being 3D Land/World. He said they made Odyssey for core action players. So this cute trailer is hopefully hiding a sinister Mario difficulty. ;p

bouzebbal2658d ago

I played every single Mario game but NEVER finished a single one.
I don't know, i get bored at some point and no matter the game. I would love to play Odyssey, but i'm not getting switch anytime soon. The battery life is a problem for me

jkuli62658d ago

I'm excited for it! Why not, it looks terrific and fun.

PhoenixUp2658d ago

It'll be a great year for 3D platformers

alstruck2658d ago

It'll be a great year for every genre.. except shooters

Profchaos2658d ago

They have had every year for the past 10 they can take a break

sk8ofmnd2658d ago (Edited 2658d ago )

This game looked very bland and unfinished. If its comming out in the fall i hope it gets a major overhaul. I do like the premise of stopping bowser from marrying peach but its not very appealing otherwise... Looks like a game that could have ran on the wiiu. I also feel its the dumbest name for a mario game. At least they didnt go with super mario switch seeing as new super mario was already taken. Maybe newest super mario would be more fitting to troll us all. Ohh and where the fuck is Luigi?!? Did he just fall off the face of the planet or did he get shafted by his brother?

Summons752658d ago

Man, take a break you are trying to hard to be a troll on the illogical hate train.

Kingthrash3602658d ago

Wow.
Just wow.
I bet cod is your favorite game, and it's not repetitive at all to you is it. The graphics look like a huge jump in cod too huh...smh.

This Mario looks like it will have that magic mario64 has ...imo at least.

XisThatKid2658d ago

Why is everyone's go-to when they don't like Mario they have to like COD? I'm not being facetious, this is a l legit question.

2658d ago
ninsigma2658d ago

Nah this is one game I think that is definitely not a wii u like game. It seems to have a lot more going for it than a wii u game.

Profchaos2658d ago

I could see it being dulled down and working on the wii u like zelda

ninsigma2658d ago

Well yeah any game can be dumbed down to work on lesser hardware but mario odyssey as is wouldn't run very well on the wii u by the looks of it as opposed to mario kart deluxe (which is just a port of mario kart) and splatoon 2.

ZeekQuattro2658d ago

Mario X Sonic Adventure 2. I'm in. Say no more. Once I saw Mario running around a pseudo New York I instantly thought of SA 2 and it just felt right.

Phunkydiabetic12658d ago

Sonic Adventure 2 felt "right" to you? What the hell's wrong with you?

2658d ago
ZeekQuattro2657d ago

Uh I like video games. Whats you're malfunction? lmao

Nintendo-or-Nothing2657d ago

Sonic adventure 2 was a great game.

OtakuDJK1NG-Rory2657d ago

New York????

You mean New Donk City

ZeekQuattro2657d ago

Pseudo meaning not genuine; sham. The city is clearly modeled after New York regardless of what they call it.

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.

The 7 Best Selling Switch Games of All Time

The Nintendo Switch has been an undeniable success for Nintendo, but which games make the best selling chart for the console?

GotGame81873d ago

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

kevco3373d ago

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!

DivineHand12573d ago

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.

kevco3373d ago

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.

gold_drake72d ago

this is why i always say that Nintendo will always be fine. look at those numbers lol

and those are all first party games.
