As some people would already be aware Nintendo recently released a new video game console called the Nintendo Switch and one of the most talked about upcoming games for the Nintendo Switch is the new 'Super Mario Odyssey' so I am curious if there are any Mario fans on here who are looking forward to 'Super Mario Odyssey' and if so what are some of your favourite Mario games? After seeing the trailer for the game I am really looking forward to 'Odyssey' 'cause it looks like a return to the 'Super Mario 64' and 'Super Mario Sunshine' games which I loved and it is an appropriate time 'cause Nintendo Switch is going to be adding Gamecube games to its Nintendo eShop which will most likely include 'Super Mario Sunshine.'

Some of my favourite Mario games are.

1) Super Mario World
2) Super Mario Bros 2
3) Super Mario Sunshine
4) New Super Mario Bros (DS Version)
5) Super Mario 64
6) Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
7) Mario Kart 8
8) Yoshi’s Wooley World
9) New Super Mario Bros U
10) Super Princess Peach
11) Luigi’s Mansion
12) Super Mario Land 2
13) Super Mario 3D World
14) Super Mario Bros 3
15) Dr Mario
16) Super Mario Galaxy 2
17) Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island
18) Mario Kart 64
19) Super Mario Galaxy
20) Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land

Some information about 'Super Mario Odyssey

Super Mario Odyssey Release Date, Features & Details

If there’s a royal court of video game characters and franchises, Nintendo’s Mario franchise reigns supreme. For decades now, Mario and the other characters of his world have dominated video gaming. Mario games sell astonishingly well, no matter how far they deviate from the original two-dimension escapades of the first game. Mario Kart 8 was a huge hit when it debuted for the Nintendo Wii U. Its Nintendo Switch version, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, is expected to sell well and put the spotlight on the console only a month after its initial release. That remake won’t have to tide gamers over for long. The Super Mario Odyssey release date is coming soon to feed cravings for a new title in the series.

Revealed alongside the Nintendo Switch in early January, Super Mario Odyssey is both a departure and a reinvention of the gameplay that users love already. Its visuals are expected to be stunning; Nintendo seems to be harnessing the full power of the Nintendo Switch. The side-scrolling levels are once again being scrapped for a world that looks alive. Mario moves in three dimensions. He climbs buildings and uses almost anything in the world to his advantage. That includes his hat.

Gamers won’t have to wait long for the Super Mario Odyssey release date. The game is set to arrive this calendar year. Here’s what we know about the upcoming adventure game and platformer from Nintendo.

Super Mario Odyssey Release Date & Release Window

At the time of the Nintendo Switch reveal, gamers were salivating for news about the console. Nintendo had only shared a brief teaser video that featured gamers using the console in different places and different ways. It hadn’t talked about games beyond The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.

Then the reveal arrived and we learned more. We don’t have the exact Super Mario Odyssey release date yet because Nintendo is notoriously quiet about game releases until we’re already fairly close to their launch. For example, Splatoon 2 is launching this summer and we still don’t have a release date.

All that being said, Nintendo doesn’t mind providing release windows, and Super Mario Odyssey has one. We can expect the Super Mario Odyssey release date to arrive during “Holiday 2017,” according to the game’s landing page on Nintendo.com. Roughly, that means the game should arrive in November or December, which typically make up the crux of the holiday shopping season.

Super Mario Odyssey Features & Gameplay

The Nintendo Switch is a console unlike any other we’ve seen before. That being said, Super Mario Odyssey isn’t. At least, it won’t be to anyone that’s played every other Mario game.

The trailer for the game begins on the streets of an unnamed city. This street is lined with tall buildings and full of people. A yellow cab drives over a sewer cover. That sewer cover rattles a bit and out jumps Mario. His iconic uniform and hat are the same.

The next two minutes of the trailer are spent watching Mario move through the three-dimensional world of Super Mario Odyssey. Like a superhero, he leaps into the air to snatch up power-ups. It appears as if almost every solid thing in the game will act as an opportunity for jumping to new heights. He even jumps from ledge to ledge to reach higher ground in one scene. The other people in the city acknowledge Mario as he moves among them.

Later scenes in the trailer leave the city behind. Mario boards some kind of flying contraption in one scene. He uses that vehicle to glide above the desert landscape below. Screenshots of the game show a town amongst all the sand. Another screenshot has Mario exploring the lush foliage of a forest. He appears to look at the player while jamming to music from a boombox that either he brought with him or someone left.

What gamers will find when the Super Mario Odyssey release date arrives is a sandbox style game. That is, they’ll be able to explore the game’s worlds at their own pace. This game style is only new to players that didn’t try Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Sunshine.


An airship will take players to the areas that they want to explore. We don’t know a lot about the combat in the game, except that Mario will throw his hat at enemies.

The Nintendo Switch allows for lots of different gameplay modes. It can be used in a dock with a television or as a mobile video game console for up to three hours with the most resource intensive titles. The removable Joy-Con controllers allow gamers to play on the built-in screen with their friends without the need for extra controllers or a subscription to an online gaming service. Gamers will find only some of these scenarios are supported by this game on Super Mario Odyssey release day.

The game is listed on Nintendo’s website as only offering a single player experience. The site doesn’t list any online multiplayer features either. In this way, it’ll be just like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. All Nintendo Switch games work in both handheld and console mode.

Nintendo could have something to say about the Super Mario Odyssey release date and more during this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo in June.

Y'know, the first Mario game I played was the Donkey Kong arcade. Then it's sequel Donkey Kong 2 where Mario was the bad guy! We had Mario Bros for the Atari 2600 but everything changed when we got our first NES and put in Super Mario Bros I was blown away by the graphics and the fact that when you got to the edge of the screen the game moved forward to a new screen! I had never seen anything like that and was hooked.

And really that's what the Mario games are about. Pushing boundaries and showing you things you haven't seen before.

We had every Mario game there was, and some Mario merchandise. We watched the cartoons and even the horrible movie and read the comics.

No matter how old I get I always come back to that plumber and he never ceases to amaze me.

The first Mario game I ever played was ‘Super Mario Bros’ on my friend’s Nintendo and I was terrible at that game to say the least (lol) and I didn’t get my first Mario game until my Grandfather got me a Super Nintendo and that game was Super Mario World. I had a Sega Master System as you know and the games I played were Alex Kidd, Wonderboy, Dynamite Dux, The Simpsons: Bart vs Space Mutants and Sonic the hedgehog and I got really good at playing them so I was better at playing Mario games by the time I got Super Mario World and that become my favourite game. I then got Super Mario All Stars which had the three Super Mario Bros games and The Lost Levels and Super Mario Bros 2 was my favourite in that ‘cause you could play as Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach and Toad.

The next Mario games I got were Super Mario Land, Super Mario Land 2, Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land, Dr Mario and Yoshi’s Cookie and they were all on Gameboy. I think I have got and played every single Mario game that has been released apart from the Mario Sports games like Mario Golf, Mario Tennis and Mario Olympics ‘cause I never saw them as official Mario games but I got the Mario Kart, Mario Party and Super Smash Bros games and an old computer game called ‘Mario Is Missing’ where you play as Luigi and have to find Mario. I didn’t like that game ‘cause it was different than the other Mario games and I don’t even remember that much about it now ‘cause I haven’t played it in over 2 decades but I seem to recall walking up and down the same roads over and over again and not being able to work out where I was going or what I was doing wrong. lol

Super Mario 64 was the first 3D game when I got a Nintendo 64 and I loved that game but I despised the Nintendo 64 controller and it took me a LONG time to get used to playing with after playing with Super Nintendo, Sega Master System and Sega Mega Drive Controllers and even I got used to using it and Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Donkey Kong 64, Conquers Bad Fur Day and Pokemon Snap become some of my favourite games I like playing the re-releases of them more on Nintendo Wii U and X Box 360 and X Box One ‘cause I don’t have to use that dumb controller. I liked the Game Cube controller much more and I know some people might disagree with me but I think ‘Super Mario Sunshine’ was the best 3D Mario game was ‘Super Mario Sunshine’ and I adored the look and design of Isle Delfino along with the characters and happy music and I still hook up my Gamecube to play that sometimes.

I liked ‘Luigi’s Mansion’ too and that and ‘Super Mario Sunshine’ are the two most underrated Mario games of all time in my opinion and they had a bad reputation for a while for being on the Nintendo Gamecube but that has changed over the past decade and a lot of Mario fans have been waiting for Nintendo to rerelease them on the Nintendo eShop and it is looking like it is definitely happening on Nintendo Switch!! I found the Super Mario Galaxy games to be disappointing and they were not bad in my opinion but I liked the open worlds in Super Mario 64 and Sunshine and the Galaxy games felt so squashed in and I took even longer to get used to playing with the remote and nunchuck at the same time with games and didn't adjust to it until at least 2 years after getting a Wii. I liked the Gamepad a LOT more than the controller and I thought 'Super Mario 3D World' was better than the Galaxy games and I loved the Captain Toad levels (which lead to the 'Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker' game) but it still wasn't the same as 'Super Mario 64' and 'Super Mario Sunshine' and the short time limit on the levels didn't give you much time to explore the levels. I like to be able to explore and look at things in games and that is one of the things I like about the 'Arkham' games and I am happy 'Super Mario Odyssey's going to be a return to that and from the looks of the trailer it is similar to the 'Sonic Adventure' games which I loved.

A funny thing was I didn't know Mario came from Donkey Kong 'cause I never played the old Donkey Kong games and I didn't find that out until I was playing the Donkey Kong Country games and one of my friends told me about it. I saw the 'Super Mario Bros' movie when it first came out and it was very different than the games but I didn't think it was as bad as some people make out it was and some parts of it were really funny. The whole Mario Mario and Luigi Mario thing was something my friends used to always joke about and Samantha Mathis was soo pretty as Daisy!!! I loved her in 'The Thing Called Love' and she was one of my first celebrity crushes.Posted Image

New details about Super Mario Odyssey have emerged along with another new trailer and gameplay footage!! [butterfly]

Super Mario Odyssey gets a wild new trailer and October release date

Quote:
 
Get ready for New Donk City

Mario’s next adventure looks incredibly wild and inventive — even by Nintendo standards. Today the company showed off the latest trailer for Super Mario Odyssey, which follows in the sandbox footsteps of the genre-defining Super Mario 64, revealing an experience that looks to be absolutely crammed with ideas and potential.

One of the core components of the game is Mario’s hat, which has been turned into a sentient character named Cappy, who can be tossed onto characters, enemies, objects, and vehicles, transforming Mario in the process. The trailer shows everything from a Mario T. rex to a Mario tank to a Mario Bullet Bill. The levels themselves, meanwhile — which range from urban cityscapes to typical desert and ice worlds — look to be very dense with things to discover and interact with. At one point in the trailer, the game even shifts to an old-school, side-scrolling Mario experience.

Super Mario Odyssey will be the biggest Switch game since The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at launch, and it’s coming later this year. Nintendo revealed today that Odyssey will be available on October 27th.

I am really looking forward to playing this game. It looks like the best 3D Mario game Nintendo have made since 'Super Mario Sunshine' and I am totally getting the Nintendo Switch when all these games come out!!
