Super Mario Odyssey development is considerably finished, various tidbits

 

Development on Super Mario Odyssey is considerably finished, so producer Yoshiaki Koizumi wants people to get their hands on it. But since the release isn’t close, Nintendo didn’t offer Mario as playable demo.

 The theme of Super Mario Odyssey is active exploration by players. Naturally, the story is to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. Mario goes out from Mushroom Kingdom and travels a “certain Earth” with a hat-shaped airship. Players will be able to go on adventures across various countries.

Director Kenta Motokura gathers many ideas from the team to implement in the game and they build each one into a playable form. Then they keep playing those again and again. The team only throws these ideas into the sandbox if they find it to be really fun.

Also mentioned is that Mario has more facial expressions, and the hat is still a secret.

Finally, some stage tidbits:

Desert

– You can enter buildings from doors and explore inside
– You can go and explore a tower and Tokyo Big site-esque building which you can see far away

Forest

– Very well-suited stage for exploration
– They are putting effort into showing nice-looking grass and dappled sunlight through trees

Urban area

– Mario can jump to the ground from the top of a skyscraper
– You can jump and step on humans; you can probably expect what happens when you do that

So around 10 months of polishing. :D

Will I get more coins from jumping on business people than normal lay people.



Then we can expect this to look even better by holidays, and probably 1080p, not that it matters to me anyways I rather play it on the awesome Switch screen.



I like the idea of going in the buildings.



Hopefully they can get it to 1080p by its release then, but even now the game still looks amazing so that's a really good sign if they have all that time to just polish it even more now.

I don't think Nintendo has ever bumped resolution from a game after they revealed its resolution let alone in 7-8 months.

I don't think Nintendo has ever done before an Hybrid where they first try to have the game working on perfect conditions for the hanheld mode and then to enchance the homeconsole experience, but this may be rhe first.



Nice. This is by far my most wanted Switch title thus far



Vote the Mayor for Mayor!

No fall damage?

If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

Good point.
