Does it really need saying?


We're flipping the Switch

With Breath of the Wild finally winding down after eight months, we were worried we might have to let the Switch sit and do nothing for a while... and then hey, whaddya know, the first real, honest-to-god core Mario game in seven years has arrived! And it's even got a bit of an open-world vibe to it like its cousin, go figure. Somehow, we've never played a Mario game for real on our channel, and we've been at this for 6 years with 4000 videos under our belt.

We're due.

So over the winter, we're gonna be flipping the Switch and taking on Super Mario Odyssey! As usual, there's a pretty wide range of skill levels across the team, some of us have been playing Mario games literally our entire lives, others haven't really put their hands on the controller for it before. So not only are we going to be seeing all that this game has to offer, but we'll get a chance to see just how challenging certain aspects of the game can be, and how easy it is for beginners and veterans alike to adapt to the new mechanics and gameplay.

The plan is to put up new videos each weekday, roughly 15 minutes apiece until... well, we decide we wanna bring this thing to a close. Could be a month or two, could be next summer, who knows?

This post might shift a little over time as well as we sort of feel out how the game's gonna go, but for now... away we go!

Right? I'm glad I'm not the only one who got that vibe out of it, Halloween seems like the PERFECT time to get a little Jack Skellington in our cereal.

That said, we're headed away from Bonneton so we can go mess around with T-REXES, WHAT. Oh, and also forever look at the Power Moons as Holy Bananas or something.

Sidebar: Does having our Power Moon count seem like a reasonable thing to include in there? If so, should we go with what the episode started with, or ended with?

So, uh. ...Jurassic Park as gently caress?

I'm probably going to run out of horror movies pretty quick.

Judging by how long Breath of the Wild took us, you might need to look up a master list of horror films to not run out ;)

Pharohman777 posted:

Basically there is a series of 'plot' power moons indicated by the big text pop ups that lead into each other. Grabbing one activates a pan-over cutscene leading to the next, etc.

When the last in the chain is done, a ton of power moons and stuff in the level is unlocked, so holding off on exploration until then is a good idea, otherwise you have to backtrack to everywhere.

Ahhh, that makes sense, so the ones that get an "intro" are the plot-relevant Power Moons, whereas those that don't are the more "get 'em as you go" types. Neat.

Larryb posted:

You only need about 121 to complete the main game and 500 to unlock all the bonus stuff. There's way more than that though and a lot of them don't even unlock until you hit the post-game.

Yeah, I think I'd heard there are 800 in total? We're gonna sweep up as many as we can, not sure if we'll be 100%ing it (though it does seem more reasonable than Breath of the Wild, so who knows).

AbusePuppy posted:

Looking good so far. I agree with the folks in the channel- the game just looks good, in ways that aren't always true for some of the Nintendo games.

I'm really tempted to pick up a Switch, which would make it the first portable system I've had in... a long time. I'm still not sure, though, grabbing a first-gen version of a system always feels pretty risky to me.

Thank you! And yeah, I was cautiously optimistic about the Switch at first (after being burned bad by the Wii U), but it's the best game system I've bought in a long, long, LONG time. Well worth the purchase, IMO.

AbusePuppy posted:

(Also, power moon count from the end of each episode is for sure the way to go. I think it's a good tracker for those watching and it seems like the natural way to show how things are progressing each episode.)

Seems to be the popular opinion, so we'll stick with it! And here-a we go:

Tokatoo is your grade-Z hint system. Every moon has a name, though some are more descriptive than others, and he'll just... tell you one. It's free, and worth every penny.

Yeahhhhhhhh, Tokatoo doesn't seem terribly helpful beyond the acknowledgement that there is a Power Moon at all.

The Bullet Bills are a pretty neat possession. It's a neat form of flight that lets them still keep using verticality as an obstacle.

Right? It's really cool to be able to get that distance in but still have the added puzzle of "okay, so I can get over there, but how do I get up there?"

Which is fantastic, since it encourages more experimental (and risky) gameplay, for the possibility of snagging an otherwise difficult Power Moon. Not having to constantly worry about Game Overs is honestly pretty great.

Maybe it's because of all the little robots, or the way it only starts up once you're past that tunnel the sphinx was blocking, but I always imagine it coming from a radio somewhere just offscreen.

I think it does -- there's a little boombox at the robot shop near the front, I've just been assuming it's that playing throughout. I like it!

Nope! We're just dumb and didn't consider that we can spend Purple Coins freely, since they don't impact any other levels. I'm sure when we inevitably backtrack to clear out more Power Moons, we'll be stopping at the shops again!

I gotta say, though, I'm with Lindsey on this- all of the running around on girders makes me legit nervous. I'm totally fine with jumping around on all kinda fantasy bullshit a million miles in the sky, but being up on actual human structures looking down hundreds of feet and more puts a wrench in my stomach every time.

I loved the design of the city world, it's so god drat tall and with the no-fall-damage-mechanic, the player is actively encouraged to do crazy stunts like the ones you pulled. Great stuff.

In regard to that spoiler, I gave Sarah a copy of the game a couple weeks ago and happened to be peeking when she did that, WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT.

One touch for that song, in the "Odyssey, ya see" bridge the backing music is the original DK stage 1 music, and during it Pauline's dance is her original sprite animation.

I did catch the DK theme in the back (I think the bassist is practicing it when you find him earlier on, too) -- when we swing back through, if there's a way for us to do the festival again, we'll keep an eye out for that! I definitely wanna see her pose.

Yeah, and that's what's weird. I can run up and down stuff all day long at all angles no problem- I used to do basically the same thing to people when I showed off the old Playstation Ghost in the Shell game, which allowed to you scale any and all walls at speed and rotate around however you wanted. Rotations don't bother me at all, but jumping around extreme heights in "realistic" games does.

The Festival was pretty adorable, though the background audio doesn't come through very well for me at least; I had to watch another video to actually hear the song and all. Pauline's face next to all the other NPCs definitely treads well into uncanny valley.

See, I'm still on the other side of the fence -- all those New Donkers (???) look loving weeeeird in the vicinity of "Mario universe" characters like Mario and Pauline.

So, as what's hopefully not too spoilery of a hint, there are several post-game moons that require you to look at something in particular with the binoculars. All those moons point to the binoculars, rather than what you're supposed to look at, so as not to ruin the entire challenge.

Yeahhh, someone had to basically straight-up tell us how that set of Power Moons works, since prior to now those binoculars were exclusively for looking around the level :|

It is nice to see Peach out and about on her own terms, for all that the Toads are still flipping the gently caress out about it.

It's kinda funny, Peach has been - since way back in the mid-90s - a pretty self-sufficient gal, and regularly holds her own in fights, competitions, etc. So watching all of the "villager" style Toads just flip out that she's been "kidnapped" (with a suitcase and a friend) is kind of hilarious.

I can't help thinking that the post game should have been you playing as Peach going on adventures with Tiara ghost in the Odyssey. Mario's story, such as it was, is done.
At least in Mario RPG after you rescue Peach she becomes a party member.

This would have been loving awesome. Tweak the "Mario" moves so they make slightly more sense, maybe give her her hover for some Power Moons that would have been fully impossible without Peach, drat. Good idea!

Phew, this is an interesting can of worms you've opened.

Risk Legacy and Pandemic Legacy are the two most notable legacy games out there. Risk is actually playable forever - after a certain point you've unlocked everything and modded the map as far as it will go, but it still functions as your own game of Risk, and most of the variance you can introduce gets counterbalanced by a setup drafting system. Pandemic is designed to be strictly progressive over a series of 12 "months", and there's a season 2 out there now as well.

It's such a neat concept, taking an existing board game and blowing it up to the nth degree. I kinda want to see about trying one of those two for a board game segment on the channel sometime, could be rad.
