Forums - Nintendo - Mario Odyssey is successor Mario 64 and Mario Sunshine, not to Galaxy and 3D Land/World

Honestly, if the Switch can run this at 60fps, (please display properly you bastard images) then its graphical capabilities are good enough for me.

It looks like I was wrong about that, and if/when it does come out, I'll take a month's ban as agreed.

A ban for a month? Do you have a link to the thread where this insanity was conceived?

You were on that thread Rol, I remember you calling him "a ship in need of guidance" xD

I never thought of it that way.

Personally, I think the two ways of Mario games being made allows for more creativity and less repetitive games. While Sunshine was certainly controversial, the past several 3D mario games have been accepted widely by the gaming community. Odyssey seems to be another solid Mario game that'll be one of the most memorable 9th gen games.

Yes, I remember that I posted in the thread, but I thought that we agreed on something other than a one month ban in the end.

And it's "sheep", not "ship". curl really needed (and still needs) guidance because his belief was off by miles.

Yeah, I said I would consider getting a Switch if it came to Wii U, while if it didn't I'd never buy one out of principal.

The concept of Odyssey, especially IF you're actually meant to be on Earth, where the Mario Bros. are originally from, then yeah it sounds neat. But I will never stop wanting a game that allows you to run around huge, sprawling representations of the lands from SMB3, as well as perhaps a condensed version of Dinosaur Island from Mario World, and even Subcon as a cool hidden "Special World". I know, keep dreaming. But that's what I want to see.

For all these 3D Marios they've made, none of them actually take place in the Mushroom Kingdom, except for 64, but that limits you to a castle with magic paintings. I just REALLY wanna roam around those awesome Mario 3 type lands, in epic 3D. That's mah dream Mario.

3D World got me back in Mario series. I hated Galaxy and NSMB. I am excited for this game tho. The Sonic Adventure feel is so strong it makes me happy.

So it's safe to assume that the city is the hub world then?

Nah, city is just one world.

Honestly, aside from Breath of the Wild, Odyssey looks like one of the most promising Nintendo games in many years for me, as it suggests Nintendo might be moving away from the more conservative approach that defined (and IMHO limited) most of their Wii U projects and starting to invest some actual ambition in their first party software again.

IMO Nintendo saw that Wii U will be faile with small instal base, so they didn't want to make or realase more ambitious games and instead continue supporting with less ambitious projects, they definatly moved some more ambitious Wii U projects to Switch (like Retro game and probably some other games).

But odyssey is just mario64+sunshine clone. Ambition would be like zelda botw or ffxv or splatoon. Copying past installment is not ambition

Offcourse that Mario Oddyssey is not Mario64+Sunshine clone (even M64 and Sunshine are pretty different games), what's similar for Odyssey and Mario64/Sunshine is more open sandbox world with exploration. Mario Odyssey showed that game is very ambitious.

Dont forget 1080p. :)

Speaking about this game, I cant wait to see next Shin'en game, they always push very hard Nintendo hardware.

Agreed, Shin'en's graphics improved a lot from their first Wii U game (Nano Assault Neo) to Fast Racing Neo. If this is their starting point on Switch, their later works are going to be stunning indeed.
