I am addicted to 100%ing Odyssey like I haven’t been with a game before Nintendo what have you done

I started off with this intent but I’ve already come across several moons that require better platforming skills than I have, mostly the gold Koopa freeraces. I’ll get to 500 easy but I think that’ll have to be good enough for me.

I didn’t finish the postgame in 3D Land either. :smith:

With the gold Koopa footraces there's almost always a superior route you can take to beat everyone by a mile, but if you have a lot of trouble, just follow the shiny guy and see what he does and restart and do that, cause he will go slower than you if you play decently, he usually just had the advantage of a better route, which you can steal.

Oh yeah, I absolutely chase him. But then he does a triple jump -> wall jump -> cap chase and I... can’t. I can’t even do the jump -> toss -> crouch -> leap reliably.

Good lord! That is quite awesome. I am still bumbling about on Cappy's ghost world and I can see a couple of moons all high up and have been trying to get Goombas to fly up and get them. I did get tantalizingly close to one, but assumed I am probably doing something wrong. Back to that Flower World then! :D

Those high up capworld moons require waggling when a frog.

So what games are on the horizon for the Switch after Odyssey? I'm currently in the process of playing The Mummy Demastered (actually a decent metroidvania), Golf Story, and Stardew Valley.

Nope, you can hop out of the frog at height and then dive for it. The other one had hidden blocks.

Don't need a holster if you never stop shooting.

It looks interesting, but I already got burned by XCX. Definitely waiting for the reviews to come in. I loved Xenoblade 1 because the art direction and story made up for the weird (but fun) combat quirks, but if XC2 boils down to a janky combat system and a ton of fetch quests with a narrative held together by gum and paper clips I'll have a hard pass.

Xenoblade 2 looks a lot closer to 1 than X was, possibly with just a more refined and expanded battle system. I'm down.

I'm glad we got to see a little more about the other party members, and Tora/Poppi seems like a really cool unique bit of customization. Weapons changing appearance is cool, too, but there was no sign of outfits changing so I wonder if that's out for good.

They should take every game they make and put promotional dlc in BotW. Before buying Yoshi's Flip Side, make sure to go on the new free quest in Breath of the Wild for the Craft Yoshi helmet. When wearing this helmet Lizalfos will leave you alone, and you will automatically eat nearby fruit for double the health boost! Please look forward to it.

Mario Maker Amiibo, like any Mario Amiibo, unlocks his original colors. Except Gold Mario who unlocks a gold costume. And Dr Mario who of course unlocks Samus's zero suit.

Please keeping making promotional DLC for Breath of the Wild long enough so we get a Zero Suit for Link to promote Metroid Prime 4.

Like you could do the same for Odyssey but I feel that Mario doesn't really pull of the Zero Suit as well as Link would.

The Wiifit and Mario maker Amiibo are the only ones I own. I have not removed them from their packets yet because I have no idea where I would stash them and they might get lost or dirty thanks to my cats.

I've been surprised that the User Score for Odyssey is so high like, usually every single AAA game gets MetaBombed because of some stupid thing people get overtly-angry over and they feel like they're sending a message by giving a game a zero. Even BOTW had that happen when it was first released.

But 3D Mario platformers seem like they're...untouchable in that regard. Is there really nothing here for nerds to form a big unruly mob over?

It's a game without day one DLC, a season pass, or loot boxes. Truly a living fossil from a more civilized time.

Joke's on you Nintendo, I already preordered the collector's edition of XC2 months ago when you first announced it :smuggo:.

Seriously though, XC2 looks really good. And the soundtrack's very reminiscent of the first game, which is a bonus.

I'm not watching the XB2 direct as I've learned I have more fun with games I'm hyped for by not watching previews. Worked great for Zelda and Mario.

Did the Direct put people's concerns with XB2 at ease? Seems to be the case.
