Wendell posted:It’s strange to withhold reviews until the last second on this game. They are practically guaranteed to be glowing, there’s no need to trick people into buying before they see the bad reviews! I swear everything they've done in 2017 is to build hype. Like of course Odyssey will get mostly 10's, the only reason to embargo reviews is to unleash a flood of perfect scores on launch day

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

A Big... Dog posted: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?!? 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

DACK FAYDEN posted:My card got declined first time I tried to buy there, and it looked like they were turning it down, but it was actually Discover complaining and not play-asia. You might want to check that? Play-Asia sounds sketchy as gently caress but I've never had anything but good experiences with them (pro tip they have super cheap Windows 8 keys and you can upgrade an 8 key to 10 for free so if you know anyone who's pirating Windows but doesn't want to...) I actually called my bank when it was first declined (figured that's what had happened) and they said they didn't even have any attempted/declined charges from them So then I tried to use paypal and they for whatever reason declined that too

It has made all these trips seem like no time at all, way better than all the other stuff I've ever taken with me before.

Internet Kraken posted:I'm not in the business of comparing two extremely different games to find which one is "better", but BotW impresses me more because it took a franchise that was really limping along and revitalized it. 3D World might not have been that great but Mario has never really fallen to the low point Zelda was at. What are you talking about? Famous gaming magazine Famitsu awarded The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword a perfect 40 out of 40 score.

I can't believe the save function in Odyssey requires you to waggle specifically to the southwest and if you waggle just west or just south it deletes your save. These motion controls are out of control

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I will admit, like, when people were talking about Skyrim being on the NX I took that as an immediate sign those leaks were fake because it sounded so outlandish. Guess time makes fools of us all Early third party releases on Nintendo platforms are always unpredictable as gently caress so I didn't take it as too outlandish of a concept. The first year of the Wii U was basically one mario game and a bunch of weird-rear end ports of like Deus Ex, Assassins Creed etc, so I feel like I've kind of lived through the Switch's 2017 already

8-Bit Scholar posted:Just make a really big Mario + Rabbids sequel. Do it Mario + Rayman even, incorporate the weirdness of Rayman in on it. Maybe have Mario characters travel into a dream bubble. Do it bigger and deeper -- the core gameplay is really solid, and I love the concept of a non-RNG-based XCOM title so I'd like to see the engine refined and played with in future titles. I've bent over backwards to not buy Mario + Rabbids for months (and it looks loving amazing), but my disdain for Rabbids is real as gently caress. I would 100% not be able to play it due to how much they kill my vibe whenever I see them at all

Understandably haven't seen a lot of discussion of skyrim on switch but like drat, it serves an entirely new purpose as a handheld game. Those radiant "kill some bandits" quests seemed pointless as gently caress to me back in 2011 but they're revolutionary on the toilet

Bethesda needs to get their poo poo together before their games become synonymous with '3D Sonic game' Fallout 4 had the same distinct lack of gameplay/engine improvement that I remember feeling back when Sega's contemporaries were all rapidly improving their 3D platformers and they were putting out Shadow the Hedgehog
