Super Mario Odyssey

[TMNT_Guy]

So, as someone who loved Super Mario 64 and especially Super Mario Sunshine and thought Super Mario Galaxy was too linear, Super Mario Odyssey is like a dream come true for me. I was literally screaming during the original trailer, I don't think I've ever been so excited from a video game trailer before.

Also, as someone who actually likes the Mario lore(and is still bitter over Miyamoto's retcon of the Koopalings) I'm absolutely bonkers to see Pauline again. If that wasn't awesome enough, she's been revealed as the Mayor of the New Donk City world AND she even has a song! This is the first song with lyrics in a Mario game, not counting spin-offs like Wario Ware's Mona Pizza. It's so cool to see Nintendo embrace Mario's story for a change.

Absolutely love everything that's been revealed so far. I am a little concerned about about the removal of extra lives, but that's probably because I'm stuck in the past. People have been questioning the relevancy of lives in modern games for a long time now so I'm sure many will enjoy this change. Motion controls are back and but I'm fine with them since they're optional thanks to the Pro Controller.
