You can find hidden toads everywhere, little trophies, some super special trophies, hidden ? blocks, and holes to fill with confetti. You can also use toad points to unlock things further in the town museum, which displays things you already found. The map helpfully lists your completion percentage of toads, blocks, trophies, and holes in each sub area.

If there’s anything I love more than collecting in games it’s collecting towards completion percentages 💦

Gamexplain usually restrains themselves unless a rumour is gaining steam with corroboration by multiple reputable outlets HOWEVER I do think they’re getting worse recently and posting more rumour videos

But overall gamexplain is a great quality channel with good people and good discussions imo


Anyway I redeemed my game voucher for Paper Mario :3 I gotta get some new joycons today though, my left one from launch day 2017 is finally drifting

I preordered 3d all stars and the g&w thing and the Mario kart but I might cancel the preorder of Mario’s kart because I’d probably play that once, making a small loop course in my tiny apartment, then never use it again

It would be cool if Nintendo uses the 35th Anniversary of Mario period to announce a Super Mario Odyssey 2. That’s probably my most desired Switch game at this point, I did everything there is to do in Odyssey and it still didn’t feel like enough. Come on Nintendo don’t let me down!

My dream sequel is Super Mario Ocean Odyssey.

The hat ship turns into an actual ship and you go around a bunch of island worlds. Same capture mechanic and collectathon gameplay as Odyssey. 12-15 island kingdoms including Delfino Isle and DK Isle as bonus worlds after the main story.

You could turn almost any level archetype into an island, for example a fire/lava world could be a Hawaiian themed volcanic island. A dense jungle island. Atlantis style ruins. You’d also up the number of underwater levels from Odyssey, with all sorts of settings from bright coral reefs to deep spooky trenches. The ghost level would be a floating graveyard of ghost ships. You could have a big complicated cruise ship level with lots of decks and cabins, and a platforming-heavy engine room (think Rusty Bucket Bay from Banjo)

Make this game, Nintendo

That looks so fantastic. Sunshine is what I’ll be playing the second I get the collection. I got it for GC in 2006 but only ever played a couple of hours because I was replaying all the Zeldas instead before the Wii and TP came out, and as soon as I got my Wii I don’t think I played any GC game again.

I checked out of Odyssey after "winning" but preordering the 3D All-Stars got me thinking about it again and I went back just grabbing random power moons and it's so good.

Same! I had a hankering to do all the New Donk City moons again in particular so I opened up Odyssey again for the first time since 2018 and by luck my second save file was up to Lost Kingdom - just one before Donk.

Maybe I’ll 100% this save file (I got 700-something moons on my first) or maybe I won’t but game is still fun

Gonna play the gently caress out of the Japanese train game on my PS5.

Showed this to my fiancé who is a massive train nerd, and he’s excited.

He’ll watch videos of Japanese trains for hours on YouTube, and when we were there last he bought tons of model trains and an electric train set, and also a bunch of merch from various local train networks (all of which have their own mascot so it included a lot of plush toys)

Yeah I hate to think the lasting impression of Mario Odyssey for the people who got the bare minimum moons to move on to each new kingdom, mainly made up of ones out in the open, then fought Bowser and never picked the game up again after the end credits. There’s so much to the game, like magnitudes more, and all the challenge and in depth gameplay comes when you spend a bit more time in each kingdom and revisit after the story is done.
