Was blown away by it. I had pretty high expectations and they just shattered them.

Hype for this game will be real. I'll be utterly psyched for a SM64 clone with better graphics/bigger worlds.

I liked the hat throwing mechanic too.

some backlash about the "realistic" level. Im not too worried, especially if it's going to be a donkey kong level.

The game actually looks dope af, and I'm normally a way bigger fan of the 2D style Mario games. This one looks like an absolute home run.

That brought me back to Mario 64 days. I won't buy the switch but that game looks like it will put Mario back on the map (not that it went anywhere).

I really hate the idea of Mario in a realistic setting.

Past that it looks fine. I've never been a quarter as big of a fan of the 3D Mario games as the 2D ones (this applies to all platformers) and I'm well aware I'm in an extreme minority with that stance...but I was hoping that this would be the Switch-seller for me and I feel pretty indifferent about it right now.

I actually think that looks kind of neat. The kind of Mario game I could get in to.


Disclaimer: I've never been a Mario guy. It was all PC as a kid so I was into Commander Keen and Earthworm Jim and the like. My first introduction to Mario was Smash and Mario Kart on the 64 (the only games I owned aside from Ocarina of Time and Kirby :laugh:)

This game looks like a blast. As soon as the music hit I got punched in the face with Mario magic.

Something about mainline Mario games just makes me feel like all is right in the world.

Idk I don't like the realistic setting. Reminds me of sonic 06 lol.

I don't think it's a realistic "setting", but rather just looks like a realistic "level". From what else was shown among others the forest level looks like it comes from a fantasy game/WRPG and there's some robots that would maybe suggest sci-fi. Seems like Mario is going on one hell of a trip this time, I agree with the above that it looks like a blast.

Not sure why they make a badass trailer and people get weird about a "realistic setting" just because one portion of the game appears to take place in a city. I don't get it.

PTSD from **** like Sonic 06

I agree though, people are ignoring that Odyssey has TONS of locations that are surreal.

I think this looks awesome. LOVE the sandbox Mario games and SM64 is my favorite game of all time. As long as this gets good reviews, there's almost no chance I don't get it eventually.

the old/new sonic game. looks great! this game, mario kart. zelda... tons of great games. I tried to preorder at best canada, I didn't know my visa verifcation info so I tried my mastercard. by then it was too late. I was a little annoyed but I have to relax. The console will be available after 3-4 months of the release.
