Amazon hasn't shipped GOTC Mario Odiseeye and I'm super nervous that they will gently caress it up like they keep loving up all my other orders.

loving same. I got an email that my estimated delivery is Nov 1 - Nov 5. Thanks for some timely service on my pre-order there, Amazon :tipshat:

Yeah, I got Nov. 1 - Nov. 3. I'm gonna do the same thing I did with Splatoon 2. Pick it up Friday at Toys R Us or Walmart and return the Amazon copy when it arrives so I get the preorder discount.

A real hellraiser


Cons:
-Bowser still primary antagonist
-Mario controls other characters' bodies without their consent
-Most problems in game are solved through violence (i.e. "Jumping" on characters heads in order to kill or incapacitate)
-Very little character diversity, almost all human characters are white and presumably cisgender
-Implied sexual peril
-No online multiplayer
-Culturally offensive to Italians
-Features "damsel in distress" trope
- Does not pass bechdel test

Makes sense. I might do the same :|

If I was 100% sure I'll be lending this out to friends at some point in the future I'd go digital. Saving $20 with prime was cool but I'm not a poor so I think from now on I'll just buy it in stores like normal people.

Amazon got me Mario Kart 8 on the day it released. I am not sure what's up with Odyssey.

However, I just got off chat with them, and they apologized and said they will ship it TODAY (not tomorrow like it said) and they will do 1 day shipping so I get it on release date :sweatdrop:

So anyone who preordered the game from Amazon, hit up their chat and complain. Worked for me.

The rubber on the thumbstick for the right joycon is peeling off my controller. This is the first controller since the PS2 that I've have come apart. I am pretty good about treating my electronics delicately. I did a quick google and didn't see a ton of people complaining about their joycons coming apart so I assume the issue isn't widespread. I wonder if there is a way I can fix it or if I am going to have to just buy new controllers.

Going out to a store to buy a physical copy of Odyssey in 12 Hours or so. Glad I live in the future world of Australia.

through my uncle at nintendo, ive been playing it for about three hours tonight. visual design is lovely and its also a really funny game. the controls are great, hell of stuff to find, some great secrets that you feel like a hero for uncovering. honestly it feels like sm64 for 2017; a 3D platformer with everything done to perfection so it feels classic, not dated

This is what I've been wanting since Mario 64, honestly. Sunshine was fun but felt like a different direction. Galaxy 1&2 were incredible but also different kind of game. 3D World was absolutely fantastic and fun but closer to a 3D take on classic Mario. From what I've seen and from this description, Odyssey might be my perfect Mario game. :)

But what about resell?

Honestly, for Nintendo 1st party games it's a safe bet that I won't let them go unless it's Spla2on.

Don't resell games. Make people who want games buy them direct or not at all. That's my hot take.

Just bought ”the Mummy Demastered” from the Switch Store. Been playing it for an hour now and it’s a pretty great Metroidvania so far. Like symphony of the night but with guns.
