THAT TRAILER WAS AWESOME, IMO!
What do you guys think of what we've seen?
Very impressive-looking game. Do you like it better than Sunshine?
What kind of question is that? It hasn't even released yet = he hasn't played it yet.

Some people make their opinions before they play the game. Nothing wrong with that.
Quote from: Olimar12345 on June 13, 2017, 03:08:47 PMWhat kind of question is that? He seems to think Sunshine is better than every game, you know the answer before you even asked it.
;) ftfy
But I do think this will be a great game all around, and who knows? It may rank among the GameCube titles (there are several in my top 10 list). At least there's a new gimmick XDD
So what do you think the Moon Coins will do aside from possibly being costume currency, if anything? Will they be like blue coins?

Is it too early to announce an LP of Odyssey?
Depends, when will your LP be?
Never before has a trailer gotten me so excited! ;D
God, that song. It's fantastic.
I was hyped for this game from the second I saw the title (when has anyone played a BAD mario game?), but the trailer certainly didn't hurt
Quote from: SlowPokemon on June 13, 2017, 08:37:10 PM(when has anyone played a BAD mario game?)
Mario Party 9 + 10
Sticker Star
NSMB2 to an extent
Mario Teaches Typing
Bad mainline 2D / 3D Mario platforming game*
I'll give you that NSMB2 was the least good of the NSMB games (nothing can ever stand up to the sheer brilliance of NSMBU and NSLU) but I still had a ton of fun with it.
The trailer song was awesome in its own right!! I wonder if any other song will have lyrics in the OST?
Info about a new Mario game is always great, but this song really push it over the top for me haha
And, gotta love that 25M throwback in the song!
Quote from: E. Gadd Industries on June 13, 2017, 07:23:44 PMDepends, when will your LP be?
June 3rd. It's an important date for RA.

SUPER MARIO SUNSHINE 2 CONFIRMED
LOOK AT THE COLOUR OF HIS STACHE & HIS HAIR
lol you got me.
Reasons Sticker Star is bad:
- A broken battle system capable of rendering the player completely unable to progress
That's all you need, really.
You forgot to mention the unholy amount of backtracking one has to do.
Either of those break a game on their own, but together...

Super Mario Bros. 2 is just a lame Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic port with Mario characters and other minor changes. If it wasn't for the replacement of the four main characters, title screen and ending cutscene, it wouldn't be a Mario game at all. Do I like Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic? Yes. Do I like SMB2? No.
I don't own Super Mario 3D World, so for now, I won't say anything about it.
Quote from: mastersuperfan on June 13, 2017, 08:42:59 PMMario Teaches Typing
I wouldn't even start. Comparing Mario Teaches Typing with any main series Mario game is like comparing apples to oranges. It wasn't made by Nintendo, nor was it made for a Nintendo console. What can you expect from a game where Mario
teaches typing?

What, as if that changes anything? If I was ragging on the game for being, say, boring, difficult, or not immersive, then I'd have no ground to stand on if I'd never played it. Those traits will be different for every player based on their skill set and story preferences. The battle system, however (which I have heard plenty about), is
fundamentally flawed and will not change based on each player. It's mechanically unfinished and turns the game from a somewhat bland Paper Mario title to a trial-and-error, backtracky, grindy mess. Fact.

I can see that the battle system is flawed, but basing your opinion after the Internet's isn't fair at all. Can you really call the whole game "bad" because of a single aspect you've never really had experience with yourself? Paper Mario's not all battle. It's much more than that.
Reminds me of a little something

True, but that doesn't mean people can't like it. Sometimes, one has to look past the major flaws in something to truly enjoy it. It wasn't a good game as part of a series, but it's still enjoyable to play. Definitely not as good as the other Paper Marios, though.

I said I like Doki Doki Panic, which, in essense,
IS SMB2. SMB2's just not very original.
Quote from: ThatHiddenCharacter on June 14, 2017, 11:16:09 AMSometimes, one has to look past the major flaws in something to truly enjoy it.
[facepalm]
I see these "Doki Doki Panic is Super Mario Bros. 2" discussions all the time, and I always see a decent amount of people who really don't like SMB2, but I have never seen one which likes the original DDP, but dislikes the literal re-skin at the same time.
My guess would be that he thinks that because he didn't grow up with SMB2 (USA). To most of us that was the real super mario bros 2 until the internet came around.
besides, what we would later find out was the real smb2 sucks.
Yeah, for all American intents and purposes, The Lost Levels is a ROMhack of the first game and more of a footnote than a sequel. SMB2 has always been Doki Doki Reskin in my mind and I enjoy the game on its own merits.

Wrong. I discovered "The Lost Levels"
after SMB2 (USA), and I've played both of them. I've known about USA for quite some time, but nowadays it just doesn't look like a Mario game. That said, SMB2 (JP) isn't that much of an improvement, either. Poison Mushrooms, wind, more tricky levels, differences between Mario & Luigi's physics, and minor graphical & audial tweaks. It's just a harder SMB with more levels.
I agree with Dudeman on this.
also the Super Mario Wiki page has a whole list of differences but my point still stands (https://www.mariowiki.com/Super_Mario_Bros.:_The_Lost_Levels)
Really, I wouldn't get mad at the game that brought Shy Guys to the Mario scene.
Well, yes, the game did bring a lot of enemies to the Mario franchise. Pokeys, Shy Guys, Bob-Ombs, Snifits, etc.
Quote from: Olimar12345 on June 14, 2017, 11:56:34 AMbesides, what we would later find out was the real smb2 sucks.
Personally, I've always thought of SMB3 as the real sequel to SMB.
I have played sticker star and it was utter, unredeemable garbage.
Edit: woops there was another page here
*reads topic*
oops
Actually, I didn't find Sticker Star, like, unbearable or anything... but that was probably because I resorted to using a guide the whole way through. Without one I honestly can't imagine anyone enjoying the game, trying to look in every little spot in the levels to find random thing stickers. And that's only one half of it; the battle system wasn't very good, either.
I actually played it through twice (lol completionism, screw you Wiggler segment drawings), but it's definitely a game I'd never touch again. Just saying. I mentioned it because I know a lot of people do dislike it and I completely understand why. Plus, that was back when I was, like, what, still in elementary school and I could get enjoyment out of pretty much anything?
Also, Super Mario 3D World is amazing. Better than every other Mario 3D platformer out there. I'd even say it's better than 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy. YES, I SAID IT. I MEAN IT. FIGHT ME.
(also you do realize Mario Teaches Typing was a joke right that's why I used the strikethrough formatting)

D:< BLASPHEMY!!!
Jkjk everyone has their own opinions~
As far as SM3DW goes, it's a pretty fun game. I never got all that far through it (thanks, school), but from what I saw it was decent all-around. Really like the cat concept and its implementation!
Back to Odyssey, I swear I have to think twice every time I type Odyssey, but more importantly:
Before I saw the trailer and really thought about it, I just kinda pushed all the talk about it being Sunshine 2 to the side. I just didn't believe it; as far as sequels went, I was expecting a legit "Sunshine 2" in name: some island out in the ocean, Shadow Mario screwing everything up (or something similar), and then Shine Sprites. But now that I've seen the trailer, I've started wondering if this is truly the sequel we've been waiting for. I say this looking at the Green Moon coins. They seem too similar to blue coins to overlook, and while most can't say it without cringing, the blue coin hunt was a staple in Sunshine. Of course, all of this is just my thoughts, and when the game is released in late October, we could all be completely wrong apart from what we've seen (which hopefully is very little of the game). That's the fun part of waiting for games: the suspense. As for me? I won't be viewing any video aside from the trailer I posted in the OP. No demos, speculations, nothing.
The only good thing about sticker star is it has an exploit for homebrew...
That's pretty much it.
Quote from: Dude on June 14, 2017, 09:57:20 PMThe only good thing about sticker star is it has an exploit for homebrew...

Nope that's pretty much it like dude said.
Well, I liked the music...
I don't remember any music from Sticker Star.
I love it how this entire thread has been turned into Sticker Star hate (minus Levi's trying to defend it) XD

Who else is excited for using Cappy to possess enemies? I haven't seen something like that since Ghost Kirby in Kirby: Squeak Squad.
It reminded me of the parts of INSIDE where you control the zombie humans with the helmet

Thoughts on Pauline's reappearance in this game?
Was she the one singing in the trailer?
I believe so, E. Gadd.
Honestly, when I saw New Donk City & how it was supposed to be a nod to the Donkey Kong games, I expected her to be somewhere.
Yeah^
I remember a game theory about Peach and Pauline. I found it pretty funny. Like, how can Mario like Peach and Pauline..? It's gonna be funny to see where MatPat takes this...considering his theory on this game already.
As for my thoughts on the game and the gameplay that I observed so far, it looks fabulous. The music, new yet retro playstyle, and the graphics. Looks sweet. I don't know about anyone else, but I've been getting the Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie vibe from it. Little things like interacting with characters, going into buildings (like in the Banjo Games), the introduction to the areas, and even to a point, the music. Just little insignificant things like that. I'm excited! I was pretty surprised to see that they are bumping it up to October. I mean, Breath of the Wild was bumped back like...3 times.
Also, the reference to Donkey Kong excites me as well. Having them as interactive, 3D, updated characters would be amazing.

I believe the manual for Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis stated that Pauline and Mario were "good friends" at the time, which clears up the confusion concerning Mario's love life.

Today's new trailer in the Nintendo Direct made me so happy. I was literally grinning from ear to ear when I saw it.
Saaaaame, it looks so wonderful and beautiful and SO GOOD
Did anyone notice the Mario Paint and Yoshi's Cookie costumes, or the early 80s Pauline and Donkey Kong graffiti?
There's so many goodies and references stuffed into this game... ahhh...
Quote from: LeviR.star on September 13, 2017, 04:57:42 PMDid anyone notice the Mario Paint and Yoshi's Cookie costumes, or the early 80s Pauline and Donkey Kong graffiti?
I love that they put the reference to the original Mario sprite from Donkey Kong with the red overalls and blue shirt!
Even beyond Odyssey, that was such a good direct. It's unreal how many games will be out within a month that I want to buy.
Mario has nipples.
I didn't need to know that.
As time whittles away leading to the game's release, what're your thoughts of what we've seen?
(It releases the 27th in the US! Not sure about elsewhere, sorry!)
Hoooo boy, only 4 days left.
And apparently leaks and spoilers (!) are already about, so y'all best keep your eyes peeled shut if you want to save the surprises for yourself.
I actually just now saw SMG4 ranting about that on Twitter. Bleh. I'm trying to avoid any and all spoilers, but the TV commercial looked amazing! It's gonna be a long 4 days :P
Yeah I swore off trailers and pre-release knowledge a while back. I don't want to risk the next Super Mario 64 being spoiled for me.
Quote from: SlowPokemon on October 23, 2017, 05:57:00 AMthe next Super Mario 64
Itz gunna be huge
The problem with my parents, though, is that they hate it when I ask them to order games for me between holidays, even though I pay. So it looks like I won't be asking for Odyssey until Christmas.
Good news, though! There are still a bunch of games I haven't beaten yet;
Paper Mario, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Super Mario Advance 2 & 3, Sonic Mania, Mega Man 7, 8, & 10, Mega Man X1-6, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario 64 DS, etc. I have plenty to do with my free time, and I should have plenty of it once the musical's over.

Same thing with not being able to get Odyssey, but you can't do much about that (unless you don't have a copy of Sunshine)
Quote from: LeviR.star on October 23, 2017, 07:35:56 AMMega Man X1-6
you better have an actual plan to play these
I've been putting off finishing X1. I keep getting to the first Sigma phase and dying. And when I pause it and leave the room, my dad comes in and turns the GameCube off. If X1 had a decent password system I could start at the beginning of any Sigma stage and this wouldn't be an issue.
I just finished preloading Odyssey on my Switch so I can start at 8pm tomorrow!!
So stoked.
Ahhhhhhh!!!! It's so close and I can't wait!!!
Does anyone know
Easter egg-ish spoiler
if the song that plays when you jump on the Odyssey Globe is a reference to anything?
^haven't tried that, I'll check it out next time I start the game.
I actually started CRYING at
New Donk City
the festival song??? Holy shit it was so happy and positive and it made me cry because I love the game so much!!!!!!!
This game is SO GREAT it's like Super Mario 64 except there are about 70 million moon missions in every kingdom instead of 6
Update: E. Gadd, that's "Jump Up, Superstar" on music box :)
There are so many great things about Odyssey! One minor tidbit that I appreciated was the updated voice acting for Bowser, Peach and Mario; they're not just using re-used sound clips anymore. It was hilarious when Mario cap'tured a frog and his inner Martinet goes, "Ribbett... ribbett?"
I like how Cappy goes "BOWSAH"
I've never been this excited for a Mario game before! I only played for a small amount but that small amount was extremely enjoyable!
still playing through the game
it's dope af
report over
Aaaaand I beat it.
GG 9.5/10

Agreed. Towards the beginning after the Cascade Kingdom I was beginning to feel rushed, especially when Cappy made me go on to the Sand Kingdom instead of letting me go back to the Cap Kingdom.

^yep, and try it when you're in the cascade kingdom! It does the cascade kingdom theme/main odyssey theme
I haven't played Odyssey since Sunday, and this weekend has our 3 musical performances and NWIBA Honor Band auditions. Maybe I can play late Sunday night...
Odyssey deprivation.
Peach amiibo is op
I'm trying to 100% the game, and THERE ARE 8 PURPLE COINS LEFT IN THE METRO KINGDOM THAT I CANNOT FIND >:/ it's driving me crazy!!!!!!!
Having finished the main story, here's are my top 3 likes & dislikes (put in spoilers for obvious reasons):
3 Best Parts
1. The music!!!! Gah, "Jump Up, Super Star!", "Cascade Kingdom", "Steam Gardens", Bowser's Kingdom's music, and "Honeylune Ridge: Escape" are golden!
2. All the references!!! In the Mushroom Kingdom especially, I've found references to most (if not all) of the storyline series (or what this game is a part of)!
3. The creativity behind many aspects of the game: such as the way you follow that Tostarenaen all around the game, and those awesome kingdoms you land in after getting shot down by Bowser! Not to mention those tropical Wigglers!
3 Worst Parts
1. The boss fights: Some of them were okay, but I found that a lot of them were 100% scare factor only and hilariously easy. Such as that massif Dragon.
2. The steering controls: OKAY, THAT ONE 2D LEVEL IN THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM WHERE YOU GET TO THOSE SPINNING DISKS AND HAVE TO STAY ON THAT MOVING BACKGROUND. RIGHT IS RIGHT AND LEFT IS LEFT, DANG IT
3. Game Over?: I mean, it makes things easier, sure, but I think the game would've been perfect had they added an actual lives system, not just docking you TEN coins (or arbitrary the very least, they could've raised the revival price)
