Helmsly Posted October 25, 2017 Author Posted October 25, 2017 Apparently you can pre-install Mario Odyssey on the Japanese and American eshops right now. Currently not on the EU one just yet though.
Charlie Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Good info on Amazon France releasing early. Realistically I won't get to play at 11pm or 12am that night anyway as it will be too late by the time it's downloaded. Will just stick with Amazon UK as no chance of being charged FX fees via my bank.
Happenstance Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Looks like people are receiving their Simply Games copies of Mario today so they did actually post them yesterday. 2

Aneres11 Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Oh lord. 15 minutes in and it's already a complete joy to play. Think we are all going to be in for an absolute treat. 3

Happenstance Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Not to be negative right off the bat but does anyone else think the grass textures look terrible? Apart from a few tufts here and there they are just flat images.

Blade Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Ive played it for about 15 mins. Graphics are amazing. Its also 100% Mario gameplay. I'm currently playing with the joy cons separately (as recommended by the game). It would seem that the motion controls aspect of the game are quite good. 2

Was disappointed to see that there are moves unavailable unless you use motion controls like some initial reports claimed.
Blade Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Yeah I normally hate motion controls but this is different. Its more like Twilight Princess Wii rather than Skyward Sword level of motion controls. The motion control exclusive moves are minor. Im tempted to go to pro controller as I just love it. I won't feel like im missing out on anything. Mario and Cappy controls like a dream. No one should worry about it. This game though...wow!! Everybody is in for a treat 2

S.C.G Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 To everyone who already got their copies... ... ...Enjoy! I'm not even mad, I mean I did get Super Mario Galaxy two days early back in the good old days of Play.com and I remember how awesome that felt. I've already been avoiding any other gaming sites in case of spoilers, I'll likely duck out of this thread for a while too but I'm looking forward to playing Super Mario Odyssey soon. In the meantime, back to reviews!

On a serious note, I'm getting pumped reading these 15 minute impressions! And to hear that the music is on par with Galaxy, one of my favourite video game soundtracks ever.... *drool* We have a great offer in Norway this weekend; If you pay with a Master Card, you get 20% money back from any purchase at one of the biggest electronics retailer! So, time to get the game and a new i7 processor for my PC, and then just play all weekend!
Hero-of-Time Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Not gonna lie, it's incredible. I'm only running around the first world but the exploration aspect is fantastic. Being able to grab a Power Moon and then continue looking around the area for more, as well as other secrets, is a great addition to the Mario series. As Blade mentioned, the soundtrack is very reminiscent of Galaxy. Ive scanned a couple of amiibo in and nabbed some costumes that I'll post later, in spoiler brackets of course, in case people don't want to see them. 2
drahkon Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 @Hero-of-Time, ok, I need you to send me your Switch including Odyssey. Now.
Happenstance Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 The game definitely has a Mario Galaxy feel to it thats for sure. 1
Blade Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 I've done the first main level and the game wanted me to go to the next one. I thought fuck that and returned to the level I had just done. Ive explored more and nabbed some more power moons. A few of them are well hidden with various mini stages that can only be accessed through green pipes. Its fantastic.

I didn't bother moving on either ( I have now ) and found a load more moons scattered about the place. This game must be HUGE. I've started the second area and there are... Spoiler 69 moons to find! It's only the second world! 1
