To be honest I'm surprised there's not a second playable character after the 10 year post-game tradition of unlocking Luigi in Galaxy 1+2 and 3D Land / Rosalina in 3D World

probably because of the extra work that came from designing all the different costumes and making them fit Mario properly

I’ve recently learned this game was not released in Europe and therefore is not canon.

It was released there in WiiU and on the SNES Classic

Most of the Yoshis in smw were full grown and trapped back in their shells by Bowsers magic right? Though there are the 3 baby Yoshis you have to evolve by feeding them enemies

Okay folks. I'm in Germany, and pre-ordered the Mario Game. My timezone was UK when I did that, but I've set it to Berlin time. When can I play the Mario Game?!?

I'm excited for Mario Game.

If there's a way to get it early by changing your switch region I'd honestly probably forego my physical copy and just do that

Unless your card works on the Japanese eShop, which is not likely, you will have to buy eshop credit from a third party, usually for markup and sometimes the code is not instant.

You will be staring at an Amazon.co.jp page for hours waiting for them to approve the order.

[Edit: Oh I bought a digital code for the game, not eShop credit. Don't know if you'll have the same issue or not]

Anyone have any luck with a store releasing a day early? I pre-ordered from Target and was wondering what the chances are that they would give me the game tonight if I stopped in...

Pretty doubtful for any big name store to break street date. Look up any small video game shops in your area and give them a shot. The store here that is notorious for breaking street dates has been selling Odyssey since Tuesday.

I've been playing for a couple of hours so far. Initial impressions are it's fun and I can tell it's only going to get better the more you progress. It hasn't grabbed me quite like BotW did from the get-go but I'm definitely enjoying the hell out of it.

I was going to experiment with running a personal hotspot on my phone while connected to a VPN spoofing a location as New Zealand to see if this would force an unlock, but I didn’t have time this morning.

It appears unlocks are bound to the region in which you bought the software digitally. My JPN copy unlocked at 12:00 JST, but I’d be curious to see what happens if you are connecting to the internet (or appear to be) from a region that already unlocked the software. Does that supersede the region purchased?

For example, if I had a copy from the US eShop but then spoofed a JPN connection, would it unlock?

Probably not, I’m sure some turbo-nerd has already tried it.
