Mario Odyssey is getting 10s. One more day! I've been on a Mario binge lately and I would love a remastered Mario 64 for the switch.

I'd do terrible, awful things for a remastered/HD Mario 64 for the Switch. The reviews for Odyssey are sending my already high hype levels through the roof.

Just bought Mario. Its all pre-downloaded and ready to go. Can't wait for it to go live.

These scores seem pretty damn good. I shall find out for myself shortly.

I'm pretty certain my GF got me a switch for christmas so I can't wait to check out Mario if that's the case.

That's much more impressive than my digital download, lol.

Got to play a little bit of it this morning. So far its really solid. Probably my favorite game on the Switch besides breath of the wild. I plan on playing the crap out of mario tomorrow.

I just finished the Old Blood was planning on play the new order this week but with Mario coming out it's going to have to wait. I thought the Old Blood was okay so if I really like The New Order I'll pick up II once it's on sale. I've heard the story for both II and The New Order are really good and that's primarily why I play games.

I've played The New Order and liked it a lot.  Haven't played Old Blood yet.  So, not sure I'll get The New Colossus right away.  Too many games.  Not enough hours in the day.   :mehlin

Noooo kidding. I did good for a while and finished a lot of games I'd bought and left not even halfway complete for a while but now the backlog is real again.  :lol Nice "problem" to have, no doubt; but at some point I also feel like I'm wasting money. Except they always call to me. Those damn beautiful siren games.

It's probably gonna be the Mario of the decade and then some. The 80s had 1 and 3 (sorry, fans of SMB2 but even if it's good [which I'm not arguing against] it wasn't the original and also didn't blow the doors off like 3), the 90s had SMW and 64, the 00s had the Galaxies, and this is the first one since Galaxy 2 to hit the ground running and dare anyone to review it negatively.

From what little I've seen (first two worlds only), this could be a new template for them to work with for easily 1 or 2 more main line Mario games before it even begins to seem redundant or lazy. After the safeness of the "New" series, it's excellent to see them really trying new ideas and executing as well as they have. No knock on the New SMB series either. It's very fun at times but still had a lot of room for where they could've appealed to 2D Mario fans but in a more original and captivating manner.

Oh dude!  I got it bad.  Really bad.  It's like bags of potato chips in the pantry.  Next thing you know, there's a bunch of unfinished bags.  Only difference is, chips are cheaper.  :lol :lol

I'm in the frozen dessert. Still really digging the game. There's just so much to do and the 2d parts are really cool

Now I would love to see 64 and sunshine get released on virtual console. I would snatch them up in a heartbeart.

As stated before, I'm not much a Mario guy. But Odyssey is so damn creative. Finished the story about half an hour ago but, like Zelda, there's a whole lot left to do. Unlike Zelda, I don't know how much of it I can be bothered with

Already, gan?! Holy crap. I've been watching Stranger Things since last night so I've barely made any progress in the first world. I'm 100%ing the hell out of this but there's no way I'll come anywhere close to the playtime I have in Zelda :P

Honestly, I really love having the switch and this is a good time to get one. Some decent games are out or just about to come out.

1. Zelda
2. Splatoon 2
3. Mario Odyssey
4. Doom
5. Skyrim
6. Xenoblade chronicles 2
7. Rocket league
8. Wolfenstein II

And hopefully the Virtual console will drop in the next couple months as well.

I beat mario odyssey today. It was a decent game but I don't think its 10/10.

I bought it on a friday and had beaten it by sunday morning. Now all I am doing is collecting moons, and personally I don't find that to be all that much fun. I also found it to be very easy.

Like I said above, its a decent game, but not the end all be all, greatest mario ever imo.

Now compare that to breath of the wild, where it took weeks to even scratch the surface and months to really dig deep into the game and to this day I can still have fun with it. And it was challenging.

Probably just because I kind of suck at platformers in general but I thought Odyssey was actually a bit harder than Zelda... Zelda is tough at the beginning but if you upgrade sensibly it quickly becomes a bit too easy, even on master mode. Weirdly backward difficulty curve in that one but I suppose it's as difficult as you make it

Yeah sorry. Left out the word drivers. Turns out Nvidea drivers are not so compatible with Windows 10 pro. They're working on some hotfix patch, it seems. Fingers crossed, ey?

Just finished Wolfenstein II and it was a really fun campaign, without giving anything away the game continues after the story ends so there's lots of extra gameplay after you finished the main story. If you enjoy the previous games you will feel very familiar.

The festival in New Donk City with this playing gave me goosebumps. Might be the single best moment in the whole game, it's just a love letter to Mario's history and it's beautiful.
