/v/ - Video Games

I get 20% a few things next month, should I buy a switch?

I also have a boxed Wii U just sitting there, no wiimote, plus SMG1+2 and both expandDong games to play

>quarantine mode

>implying this justifies its existence

>packed with "puzzles and platforming"

>doesn't give any examples

You know what would've been better than a "quarantine mode"? Having none at all and filtering them through the game's natural difficulty. You're defending the casualization and streamlining of further Mario games; you don't know what they will change to balance around the lowest common denominator.

That said I haven't played it so I can't comment on it, but your post reads suspiciously like a lazy shillpost.

There’s already a Shoddyssey thread up.

>>13687517

I would say maybe if you really like Nintendo. Definitely if you have friends with one.

So far physical i've got Zelda, Pokken, Odyssey, Mario Kart, ARMS and Splatoon 2 and digitally i've got Monster Hunter XX, Sonic Mania, Shantae, Golf Story, Stardew Valley and a bunch of NEO GEO schmup and fightan geemu.

As a replacement to my Wii -not Wii U but Wii and by next year my 3DS once atlus life support runs out i have had an excellent year playing with friends. Zelda, Mario and Monster Hunter have been time eaters solo but aside from that its still not a huge solo player deal.

Of course there is Kirby, Pokemon and Metroid Prime 4 next year that are all probably garaunteed sales for most but a lot of the fun of a Switch is going round to a friends on a friday night and having multiple switches out for multiplayer like Mario Kart or taking it out and about and playing something like Pokken when taking a break after biking in the countryside or something.

If you are going to play a lot of multiplayer get it now. If you are fine with have 3 or 4 games you put like 60-100 hours in but it collects dust between those releases get it now. Otherwise its not quite the 3DS replacement in terms of nintendo output yet.

It's pretty good but get ready for cuckchan console wars to shit up this thread

>>13687533

puzzles are fun. Some are platforming as you would expect but different with better tech. Like platforms in a foggy room and you throw cappy to temporarily make fog disperse. Or a guy on a bench is saying hes sad but if you just sit with him for a while he is touched and gives you a Moon.

I dont want to spoil much because some are Kojima tier clever/autistic but it uses HD rumble -as dumb as that name is- in some fantastic ways. Like walking around a room to find a buried item by holding both joycons and if its on your left the right vibrates and vice versa. Some things are easier to figure out jumping wise by rumble than eye when possessing some things like wigglers that play like noby noby boy.

If Zelda was "everyones making this exact same open world busywork meme game lets do it too but ride the zelda name" this is "lets make the game that should have followed Galaxy, but with better tech lets do some more fun stuff". Not the greatest game ever made but some stuff is just pure fun.

spoiler example

At the end of New Donk Cities story you change the city to night during a festival and run through a floating 2d, neon arcade coloured series of levels leading up to the first level of Donkey Kong -the original game- as the Jump Up Superstar track plays in its entirety and its 'about the history of our city'. it brought a smile to my face which is something a western game hasnt done in maybe a year

>>13687548

>posts like this are more useful to me

>Its filled with puzzles and platforming, what a useful and informative statement!

>"quarantine" is totally a good thing! It surely won't result in the casualization of a franchise like it did with Fire Emblem, no sir!

My god anon, its like you like shoveling shit into your mouth and not thinking for yourself. This is a lazy fucking OP.

In fact I wonder if you're another shill at this point, defending this garbage

>>13687560

>he tries to use the anti-anime argument

>for a post against shilling for nintendo

Really fires the neurons

>>13687570

Now this is an acceptable post. I'll fuck off now and take your actual word for the game being good

Good luck with your thread OP.

>>13687573

>OP correctly identifies "open world" gameplay as garbage timewasting for Skyrim normalfag idiots

>OP, having distinguished himself from lesser men, now has the cachet to do a 5 line review

Is this simple enough for you to understand, subhuman?

The only issue the game has is that it is TOO EASY

>>13687548

>do you like splatoon

CORRECTION: Are you aware you can look at lewd images of inklings without buying a 3rd person team shooter?

>>13687548

It's amazing how much my opinion on a game is informed either by very specific people I trust online or random people on /v/. I don't care at all about Meta critic because those people will rate anything with enough hype behind it a good score.

>>13687598

>if I include a single line of greentext line about (((current year games))) being shit then this automatically means everything I say about this game should be taken at face value

I hope you aren't this easily manipulated, or against actual, quality posts on 8/v/. It might be time for you to go back to cuckchan if your standards are this low.

>>13687608

The first half is. It significantly ramps up. After you do the story -which actually has a solid amount of bosses including more work for [FLOATING FACE AND TWO HANDS GUY] whos not been seen for a few years- the ending is quite something for Mario but then you start getting into the challenging shit. You need about 200 Moons to finish the game but there are 863 total.

>>13687621

Battlechasers is a great game in general and while is a multiplay I think will work best on Switch because it's JRPG like.

>>13687622

I am only on moon 25. How fast did you finish the game if you are already done with it on it's second day after release?

>>13687621

NOT FUCKIN' 1-2 SWITCH

Wii Sports was a surprising gem. 1-2 Switch is fucking trash. It is worse than a tech demo.

I would say Mario, Zelda and if you didnt own a Wii U 100% Mario Kart 8 its maybe the best karting game since the Gamecube era? ARMS is really fun as a casual fightan game but thats more of an arcadey thing. Same with Pokken.

and monster hunter XX if you like monhun. Its JP only but theres a site called kiranico that translates every quest and beyond that you just hunt monsters. has some fun with /v/ on that online.

Still really needs a virtual console. Theres so much good shit on the 3ds one that shouldnt be left to die there.

>>13687634

I just did the main story then went back. Currently at 299 Moons. There is a LOT of shit you dont see going to the end but you cant miss anything either. I think it took maybe 20 hours -i got it a day early- for just the story but to get it all its easily like doing all the shrines in zelda time wise. In terms of a 3D platformer this is maybe the most value for money ever pretty much.

>>13687621

Also holy fuck is golf story Switch exclusive? then jesus fuck yes get that. If you played the Mario Golf rpg on the gameboy its literally that.

Plus the Stardew Valley guy is making a out and out advance wars clone for switch that has online multiplayer and player created maps which is looking real good BECAUSE THE SERIES FUCKING DIED SO FIRE EMBLEM COULD LIVE.

>>13687657

^and this. play it every friday night with friends and playing puyo and tetris on the same screen is fucking great. Its just really overpriced. Same with bomberman.

>>13687661

Killing of Advance Wars was the most merciful thing current year IS could do to this series.

>>13687661

It's not the stardew valley guy, it's his publisher CUCKLEFISH, I don't recommend giving them money

>>13687670

Man i dont think you know my thirst for Advance Wars. With online multiplayer and player created maps it just has to be 'okay' to be better than 'dead for fucking years' for me.

>>13687621

Also bare in mind. There is no Region Locking on the switch but also no account locking. So first make your own my nintendo account and switch account and link them. THEN make a second my nintendo but list the location as japan and then make a second account on the console like 'anonJP' and when you open the eshop as 'anonJP' it will be the jp eshop that uses some cards or points you can buy jp cards of online to buy games. Some are exclusive and very good.

Then just having it on the system the jp accounts on means your regular account can open and play them. Its how i got monster hunter XX. Compared to making shit like a JP psn account where you need to fake prefecture zip codes and the like its a goddamn snap and so worth doing.

>>13687533

What they should have done is used the quarantine mode as an excuse to allow them to push the mechanics to the limits and make a decently challenging game. Satisfies both casual scum and regular humans.

>>13687675

I want more AW too, it's a real dilemma. Have you seen anything on Tiny Metal? I hope that turns out good

>>13687689

I forgot about that, shit I need to get XX

>>13687621

No its literally just a super Zeldio machine

>>13687622

How can the difficulty ramp up when you don't even have consequences for dying?

>>13687738

It is a 3D platformer. Dying doesnt mean shit if you can't progress and there is some goddamn tech to the hardest puzzles involving jumping on the hat mid jump to spin into a backflip to hit a ramp mid forward roll to leap off and so on.

Bare in mind while its still the galaxy style of play theres tons of new moves like press crouch then X makes mario roll BUT since the games designed to use the joycons like wii motes you then pedal the controller to basically spindash like fucking sanic.

The first half is babymode platforming but i garauntee after that theres going to be shit the journo crowd will call 'ableist'.

>>13687685

TBH I could sell my Wii and WiiU, and get a Switch. Maybe dig out my Gamecube.

>>13687661

>Plus the Stardew Valley guy is making a out and out advance wars clone

Reminder not to give Chucklefuck money.

>>13687755

What a horrible idea when the Wii is completely superior to the gamecube with the minor exception of not supporting the gameboy player.

>>13687777

depends if he was smart enough to not sell his gameboy player like those of us that were fucking stupid enough to do so back in the day.

>>13687621

I haven't seen anyone shit on Snake Pass.

>>13687782

With a library now over 200 games strong there really should be a /v/'s recommended Switch games at this point to go with the other infographics.

>>13687478

You poor thing.

>>13687548

This.

>>13687689

Thanks, anon, I just did that. My 日本語 sucks ass, but being able to browse the shop is really cool.

>>13687777

Nice quads.

Also I rarely play old games, but I can see myself booting up my Gamecube more than my Wii. Just on the games I have.

Still, when you put it like that, no sense in loosing the ability to play Wii games. It'll probably last longer than the Gamecube.

>>13687826

I just found out how from this video from a monnhun twitter feed. Bit of a pricey game but for a big mohun fan i tried the jp demo of MHXX and while i wasnt so hot on generations compared to 4U playing the switch version was such a 'i cant go back' moment i had to grab it.

>>13687478

it's good for any%

GARBAGE for 100%

I just played the snow and beach zones. 2 comfy.

>>13687988 (checked)

I'd only call it "better" than a modern review because it was posted from the perspective of an anon who actually cares about the game and franchise; still didn't mean it had much value until he decided to post

>>13687570

Which actually has value in terms of assessing the game and providing actual information about it to those who don't know anything about it.

>>13688087

>Grow up

So what games should an adult play anon?

>>13688115

Factorio

>>13687841

Wiis sell for peanuts nowadays. You can get one for 30 burgers, so no reason to sell that. The gamecube has more value for collectorfags. And if you have a game boy player, then youre sitting on gold that will only increase in value as time passes.

Bottom line: wait for a switch pricedrop. Custom firmware on wiiu is very good for pirating and putting roms/emulators on.

>>13688087

Video games themselves are for fucking children retard.

>hurrrr I only play SERIOUS ADULT VIDEO GAMES

What a fucking misnomer.

>>13688141

at this point its the disc thats more valuable than the gameboy player itself.

>>13687988

that last one is actually correct, there's two worlds that have swimming, three if you're really pushing it

>>13687621

>Stop playing children's videogames and grow up.

>posts a pic of Wario

>>13687754

>the first half is babymode platforming

For sure, but a lot of it can be done 10x faster using hidden platforming techniques. You can longjump, throw your hat, jump off your hat, throw your hat again, then dive to get a fuckton of distance, skipping some puzzles and making shit less streamlined.

>>13688708

and it feels fucking great to do it.

>>13688708

This, the movement is very fun and it's fun to skip shit with tech, I'm interested in how speed runners will handle it

>>13688708

you can gain a bit of height after jumping on your hat if you need it, but spamming long jumps is good enough for me when there's ground, i wish rolling had way less friction / more speed

has nintendo dropped the monthly fee planned for online yet?

>>13688753

The ultimate autist will cross a whole level if 3 half cappys.

>>13688784

They keep pushing back their 'we will charge' date so magic 8 ball says people aren't biting.

>>13688782

Oh yeah of course, that tech's for gaps/corners. Rolling seems super fast when using motion controls, but that's a pain in the ass. I've heard from others that button mashing to roll has shitty timing, while motion controls give frame perfect timing.

>>13687573

>Fire Emblem is casualized because there's an easy mode

<Games that I like are allowed to have easy modes, though

almond status: activated

>it's fun

>>13688792

i'm on the verge of getting a switch but i'd like a solid cancellation of it before doing so

>>13687622

It's still pretty easy, I got 500 moons to unlock the final gauntlet level and beat it without too much trouble. I guess you're right if you mean it's hard to get certain bullshit cryptic moons though

>>13688823

What a great strawman, anon, tell me more.

>>13688845

I bet the reason they're delaying is because the actual software isn't done yet, not because they're pussyfooting around and afraid of backlash. I wouldn't hold my breath.

>>13688799

<motion controls give frame perfect timing

what in the actual fuck

>>13688845

>>13687621

Don't sleep on mario rabbids if you end up getting a switch, it's actually a solid x-com clone with a lot of charm (though I'd say wait until $40)

How much porn is there of the girl rabbit boss?

>>13687726

I'm still waiting on the system to be hacked before I buy one since I demand more flexibility from my game systems than a few exclusive games. The Switch needs at least emulators, it has no backwards compatibility.

>>13687548

>And then there's this faggot

Except he is completely right.

>>13687726

Vita still get titles released on it this fall and 2018, but I can see why people wouldnt get interested if they cant into japanese or simply never owned a Vita beforehand

Saying the "vita is dead" is untrue if you care about weebshit.

>>13690084

Not nearly fucking enough, and nothing I can find by theboogie yet though when he does get around to it it'll probably be some terrible vore shit or something, goddamn why do all the good artists waste all their talent on some shitty fetish like vore or NTR.

>>13687517

Do some research, check if it has enough games for you to enjoy straight away and look at upcoming releases, see if it will have games coming out that you will be able to enjoy in the future, if you don't think it will have anything on the horizon you are interested in and think that it will just collect dust for a year or two then don't buy it or consider waiting, you lose nothing by waiting.

Play both Expand Dong and SMG 1+2, and if you get Odyssey you will have

Best 2d platformer

Best 3d platformer

Best collectathon

I think it will be the best if Nintendo follows through with the Switch, both development arms on one platform plus 3rd parties moving over from 3ds.

>>13690206

Can the Vita die, the third parties making games for it seem to be able to keep it alive in spite of Sony dropping support for it. I wouldn't mind seeing the Switch replace the Vita in it's current capacity but apart from titles from maybe Atlus/Vanillaware and Namco I can't think of anything else on Vita I'd personally be interested in.

>>13690271

Never buy a console for one game.

what's with the audio? the lower notes are overpowering everything, that's not how it sounds like in the actual game

>>13690246

>the third parties making games for it seem to be able to keep it alive in spite of Sony dropping support for it

It's been the case since like 2015 and 2016 where japanese third-parties released a ton of titles on the Vita despite Sony's lack of direct support (2017 has been slower but still good). That absolutely didnt stop the people saying the "Vita is dead" already like nowadays, but like I said "japanese-only" might be as well "no games" for them.

Switch feels like at its current stage a total downgrade from a hardware quality standpoint (build quality, screen, expensive harming dock that isnt given as an option for people not caring about the TV stuff, paid online, …) to the amount of games due of the large vita library and PSP/PS1 retro-compatibility

>but apart from titles from maybe Atlus/Vanillaware and Namco I can't think of anything else on Vita I'd personally be interested in

There are plenty of niche titles that are no heavy-hitters for people in the West (such as Earth Defense Force, Taiko Tatsujin, Utawarerumono, Dungeon Travelers, Sayona Umiharakawase, Touhou, IAVT, Natural Doctrine, Disagea, Coven and Refrain of Labyrinth, Touhou fangames, etc). You just have to do your research and look up videos. Like said earlier, knowing japanese seriously do help in appreciating more the handheld (but that was also the case with the PSP and DS, it's just more apparent now)

I mean it all depends of your taste obviously. I am not about to separate from my vita due of the sheer amount of titles that thing still got.

>>13687533

>You know what would've been better than a "quarantine mode"? Having none at all and filtering them through the game's natural difficulty.

I'm sorry but I'll have to disagree with this completely. In our hipotetical ideal scenario a game would have a "one size fits all" approach, in which the same game would have varying tasks and objectives of varying difficulties, thus making everyone happy. Experience shows however that there's a vocal crowd that's too stupid to be easily appealed to. And if devs are asked to take that approach, they will skewer the game's difficulty towards the easy side.

I think what Mario Odyssey has is the best kind of compromise. It feels like devs were free to make the game they wanted to make, and that the "toddler mode" was added later as an afterthought. Check Helix Snake's videos on it. no youtube personality drama here, this guy just specialises in finding funny glitches by exploiting gameplay, and by pushing odyssey 's controls he has found some interesting things

>>13691079

>Mario collects a huge pile of coins

>starts rubbing his hands together

oy vey

>>13691079

In the end, it's a Mario game. I don't really mind them including a babby mode, if It doesn't interfere with the game I want to play. It doesn't really represent lost ground like an easy mode in Dark Souls or Cuphead would. If anything, we're regaining the ground we lost with Galaxy, which was just easy as fuck, and didn't have a hard mode.

>>13687621

Most of the Switch indies are also on PC or mobile. If you don't play mobile, it's unlikely you've played Voez so I would get that. Superbeat Xonic if you don't have a Vita or PS4.

>>13687533

The fact that this post has so many negative replies because its criticizing casual mode is a great indication of how far down the fucking sewer /v/ has fallen.

>>13691462

Mario is a good boy.

>>13691442

>Recommend VOEZ because its like weeb jpop elite beat agents

>Friends go "but no its a shitty mobile port tho"

>Neglecting to realise that the mobile version charges per song and costs like 5 times the switch versions price which contains all the songs and all future updates for free.

being a rhythm game fan is suffering.

>>13691477

It's silly all or nothing thinking that frames any easy mode as the work of the enemy, when we've had easy modes for decades. A lot of games used to have infinite health cheats, but it was understood that you didn't use that stuff if you wanted to play the game seriously.

>>13691753

He's getting ready to look for chaos emeralds on pumpkin hill next week.

No, it's criticizing anon for being a retarded strawmanning faggot even baselessly accusing OP of being a shill just for stating they got more than they expected from a game in years.

>>13692575

>>13691730

Please end yourself. You're living in a fantasy land.

Have a (You)

>>13693266

Tekken 7, GTAV, Saints Row IV, and Shovel Knight are all recent games with infinite health cheats

But back in the day, if you were making some sort of platformer or action game marketed towards kids (e.g. Spyro, Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper) you always had an infinite health cheat.

>>13693250

>sperging out this hard over being called out for your shitty argument

Ignoring the fact that cheat codes aren't standard game options (developer tools turned player toys), your games list doesn't really help that argument at all.

>>13692868

I'm so glad Super Mario World came with a baby mode, otherwise I wouldn't have beaten 100% it when I was 6.

> I think there's around 750 moons in total

Negro, there are 999 moon in the entire game. After you get 800something the sail of the odyssey turns golden.

>>13693656

theres 836 and the odyssey turns gold after just getting the 200 needed to get to the moon. After that you unlock new areas that require up to 500 moons to get to starting with the dark side of the moon.

>I'm so glad Super Mario World came with a baby mode, otherwise I wouldn't have beaten 100% it when I was 6.

It did. Didn't you notice how the physics were altered from how 1 and 3 treated momentum? Or the fact that the cape powerup was fairly broken even when you barely had an idea what you were doing? And Yoshi basically makes you invincible. Face it, Mario has been getting easier the entire time it's been around, same as Zelda.

>Third thread in a row made about Odyssey while previous threads still below bump limit

>This one was made while the bread before the last bread is still below the bump limit

Sasuga Mark :^)

>>13687621

Out of all the game I have, these are the ones I recommend.

Super Mario Odyssey

Breath of the Wild

Pokken

Splatoon 2

ARMs

Mario Kart 8

Sonic Mania

Fast RMX

Kamiko

Puyo Puyo Tetris

Blaster Master Zero

Rayman

Gunvolt

Implosion

Wonder Boy

Graceful Explosion Machine

Binding of Isaac

Garou: Mark of the Wolves

Metal Slug

Xenoverse 2

The Mummy Demastered

Shantae: Half Gene Hero

Shock Troopers

Mind you some multiplats like Xenoverse 2 and Rogue Troopers run far better on consoles and PC. So It's really a balance of what works and if you need this game on the go.

Mind you I haven't played Rabbids, Fire Emblem Warriors or Nights of Azure 2. So I cannot judge those games.

>>13694149

wait what?

>>13694211

>shock troopers

i see you are also a man of culture.

>>13694136

>implying

I never said it wasn't easier than previously. I'm saying it does not have a handholding mode. You are, in fact, strengthening my point. My point is that kids don't need assist mode and it wasn't even made for children in the first place. Children have been able to been Nintendo games since the NES. The assist mode was made for adults.

>>13694213

I've been following the Odyssey threads for the past three threads previous to this one.

>Portugal streetbreak thread is made before the last thread is even past the past the bump limit

>OMG normalfags aren't excited about Odyssey thread is made before Portugal thread is past bump limit

>This thread is made and the Portugal thread is still below the bump limit

That's three in a row. I tried reporting the first time, before the duplicate thread could get big, but nothing was done because Mark loves Nintendo's cock.

>>13694284

fuck, I gotta get on my game then. Although to be fair this is more of a Nintendo Switch thread than a straight up Odyssey thread

>>13694308

>this is more of a Nintendo Switch thread than a straight up Odyssey thread

My mistake then.

As someone who pulled the trigger on getting one with the Odyssey release I would say wait. The lineup isn't very strong at the moment and if you didn't like BotW there isn't much I could recommend. I find Sonic Mania particularly fun on the Switch because it gives me mad Game Gear nostalgia but the game's a muliplat and hardly a reason to buy the system.

>>13694211

Binding of Isaac is on the switch?

How does it control compared to PC?

>>13694352

I share the settlement, it's a fun system. however I recommend waiting till 2018

I don't care how good the game is, if it's infested with those obnoxious little faggots it's fucking ruined. Like well drawn hentai that focuses solely on some fetish you don't like such as farting or scat.

>>13694562

Anon BTFO.

>>13694356

Just don't. If it includes Afterbirth+, then it includes DLC that retroactively ruined the game. If it doesn't, then it still doesn't include the best version of the game. The best version of the game is mod for, I believe, Rebirth called AntiBirth.

>>13694614

True, I already have antibirth on PC, I was just curious.

>>13687885

Was the only reward for 100% a shitty invisibility outfit? Is there still no sign of the wing cap?

>>13693928

There is often a belief among those who want to purge degeneracy that there is little or no difference between two kinds of degeneracy as they are still both degeneracy and as such are equally terrible. Thus, to say one is worse or better than the other other is to admit favoritism to one and thus that you are inclined to that one. Saying pedos are better than furfags is seen as admittance that you have a tendency towards pedophilia.

Mario Odyssey gameplay in a nutshell

>walk around map

>keep on walking, there's really nothing here

>ground pound the shiny hill for the 500th time for a moon

>hit the shiny object for the 500th time for a moon

>talk to this NPC for a free moon

>hit a crate, there's most likely a moon behind it

>replay the same bosses a third time but this time you can't heal between them, have 3 moons and an ugly outfit

>spend an hour on an actually tight and fun platforming segment that takes everything you've learned about the game? Have 3 moons and hat that you'll never use because it's a gimmick that wears off in 5 seconds

Platforming elements in this game are great. No loot boxes, no bugs, no season passes, no microtransactions, everything (even amiibos outfits) unlockable? Perfect.

The open design? Tedious, boring garbage. The soundtrack? When it's good it's good, and when it's bad it's trash.

The difficulty? Only a handful of actually challenging moments, but that doesn't matter because even if you die there's no punishment… In fact in a lot of challenges they hide more than 10 coins early on, and since coins respawn you actually earn more money from dying.

The worlds? Half of them are shit, whoever designed the snow and lake worlds needs to be fired.

The unlockables? Two more moon kingdoms? Seriously?

Not the best Mario game. Good game, but this isn't better than an 8/10. The open level design ruined it, and the casualisation gives very little reason to actually use Mario's amazing new moveset. Seriously this thing is more fluid than FLUDD and you barely need to utilise half the tools in your arsenal.

Who actually thought people wanted to spend more time walking around the same map 5 times looking for a fucking gardening patch or a dude with eyes in the back of his hat than more excellent challenges like Darkest Side of the Moon?

Gamers nowadays would rather have boring fetch quests and repetitive chores than skillful and engaging platforming.

>>13694688

I seriously can't believe they didn't simply make a simple graphics edit to say star instead. At least they have the actual sound effect.

Imagine if you could even fucking replay with the original Mario voice clips on top of that costume.

>>13694653

100% isn't the invisibility cap.

Complete the game: Unlock Mushroom Kingdom and more moons

250 moons: Unlock Dark Side of the Moon

Beat the "boss rush" in Dark Side of the Moon: King outfit, 3 moons

500 moons: Unlock Darker Side of the Moon

Beat the only challenge in Darker Side of the Moon: Invisibility Cap, 3 moons

800 something moons: Unlock a painting in the church which is a slightly harder version of the ending sequence to the story

Beat the hard mode ending sequence: Get a postcard picture after the credits

999 moons: Giant top hat appears on top of peaches castle, activate it for fireworks

>>13694804

>Imagine if you could even fucking replay with the original Mario voice clips on top of that costume.

That would be tits. I hope they wing cap as some sort of unlockable in an update or something.

>>13687738

>consequences for dying

You mean like having to take a 30 second detour to farm 1-ups so you don't get kicked back to the world hub and spending 5 minutes walking back to the level? Yeah that's really challenging, right up there with the bitch crying about a quarantine mode that just gives you a mario 64-sized health bar.

>>13694872

>just gives you a mario 64-sized health bar.

What? You get a temporary bigger health bar by getting a crown heart. I thought babby mode just removed the 10 coin penalty for falling?

>>13694827

I thought there were only 883 moons. Have I heard wrong?

I'm too paranoid about Nintendo pulling a 3ds XL or n3ds on me to buy a normal switch.

>>13694909

This is why I'm waiting. Remember; The 3DS also had a 4 hour battery life.

Wait 2 years at least, or get a used Switch.

>>13694886

Baby mode gives you a 6 health pool as standard i dunno what happens when you get a crown heart, it also prevents you from falling mario-kart style and gives you arrows on the floor so you don't get lost.

>>13694897

You can buy more moons from the crazy cap shop. Although it's restricted to 1 per world, after you beat the story that restriction is lifted.

I believe there is most likely a cap on how many you're able to buy, but as it stands I've yet to see one and I've purchased a lot of moons.

GameXplain has done a video on the 999 moons. If you want to see it, check out on their channel. But as it stands the rewards for doing any of the challenging content or 100%ing are pointless.

>>13694946

>after you beat the story that restriction is lifted.

I've yet to see video of this and other anons have been leery as well when it was claimed in previous threads. Got any proofs?

>>13694989

That's really fucking gay. What happens if you buy your way to 999 before getting all regular moons?

>>13694823

>So now the standard is "This sucks about it and it could be much better, but at least it's still a good game"?

Never forget. Things could always be worse. :/

>>13695004

I don't know. I'm on like 670ish and I've purchased a stupid amount. If you honestly want video evidence then go and look at the GameXplain video I mentioned, they even buy 10 in bulk on the very video.

It's the one that mentions 100%ing Mario Odyssey.

>>13695019

>>13695004

I guess it caps out at 999, but your lists still tell you whether you've collected specific moons or not.

>>13695019

I think the way it works is that there are 800+ something unique moons, and the rest you can get by dumping coins into the shop, capping out at the difference. You could you use this to access Dark Side and Darker Side nearly 200 moons early, but 999 still means earning every moon.

>>13694897

I misread some numbers. There are 883 unique moons so using the shop would mean accessing the two kingdoms 117 moons earlier than properly earned moons.

>>13695014

I don't fucking care anymore.

>>13695095

I feel you, anon.

>>13695086

>It's even a good zelda game.

>Mario is now a good Zelda game

My how the times have changed.

>>13695187

Don't listen to that anon. This game would be very strange for a zelda game.

>22078 jump rope

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>13695738

At that point, I wouldn't be surprised if somebody either hacked their controller or built a small robot to press the jump button at set intervals.

>>13694800

Yeah, that's generally my take on it too. It's a rock solid 8/10, but it's missing something to really elevate it to an outstanding game.

It's competent, well put together, but there's not enough actual platforming, and the free form design honestly leaves me feeling kind of bored, given how they can't scale the challenge around knowing where you'll be, and only by levels.

But the controls are probably my favorite 3D Mario controls. To the point where the most fun I've had in the game are the attempts at ridiculous stunts I've searched for, myself. Like bypassing routes, or approaching things in ways you normally wouldn't.

I think of it a lot like BotW. It's a good game, albeit lacking in some areas, holding it back as a result, but it's an important step for the future.

This game lays the foundation for the next 3D Mario game, much like BotW lays the foundation for the next Zelda, and from here, we can expect to see them improve upon it.

Though one point of contention, I don't understand the gripes about difficulty. Mario games have never really been "hard" in anything past the original. They've had challenging points, but actually difficult tests of execution? Not really. The closest are Sunshine's fluddless sections, and even then those were really only "hard" because most people remember playing them as a kid. Go back and play them again, they're really not that bad.

So it doesn't really bother me that the game isn't hard. Likewise the bosses are better than anything 64 had to offer. Remember fucking Eyerock? Yeah, real epitome of a challenge and in depth both design right there.

Though I'm admittedly biased and a bad example, since I play a lot of platformers, so I'm used to them, but still.

Part of the perceived lower difficulty comes from removal of a few things that made the previous ones way harder.

Specifically fall damage and lives. Likewise Mario just being way easier to control in midair, with Cappy letting you change your momentum to literally any one of 360 degrees. Of course anything the game throws at you will be easier, the more responsive and in depth the controls become. You flat out have more ways of avoiding the previous obstacles.

That being said, yes the game desperately needs more just pure platforming to it. Part of the thing that's lost in ditching the mission structure, is that levels can no longer change their geometry in isolated ways. You can't just have something be flat out different and inaccessible, when you're done with the story bits, but you can in earlier missions in the previous games, if that makes sense.

By making the levels continuous, they've simultaneously both opened, and restricted, themselves with the difficulty balancing.

Anyway, there's more to say, but at the end of the day, the game is undeniably missing something that I just can't quite put my finger on.

>>13695848

>I think of it a lot like BotW. It's a good game

Stopped reading there. BoTW was the biggest shitheap nintendo has shat out this decade and a step back for the series in almost every way.

>>13695862

Its better than Skyward sword at the very least

I still don't get why anyone thinks Breath of the Wild was some sort of major reinvention. Shit's bland as all hell and didn't even do anything unique as some of the handheld Zeldos.

>>13695874

I really wanted it to be like the first game with dungeons able to be entered and explored out of order but we didn't even get dungeons.

>>13695874

>I still don't get why anyone thinks Breath of the Wild was some sort of major reinvention. Shit's bland as all hell

That didn't stop normalfags from buying skyrim and saying that was a good game.

>>13695898

It would have been nice if they'd maybe even have just took what they were doing with A Link Between Worlds and just improved on it.

>>13695848

>Mario games have never really been "hard" in anything past the original. They've had challenging points, but actually difficult tests of execution? Not really. The closest are Sunshine's fluddless sections

What happened to Special Zone in Super Mario World? Isn't that a great example of a game that is fun, mostly easy, but contains extra challenge for those willing to take it on? Certainly almost any level in Special Zone is much harder than Darker Side.

>>13695862

This.

>>13695868

And this. Zeldo isn't Zeldo without big puzzle filled dungeons. In making all the puzzles small and scattered throughout the map, they've made them simpler, and they were already too simple. Other than that, it becomes mostly another generic open world meme game with a Zelda skin slapped on it.

>>13695874

It's the Skyrim audience. They really like bland copypaste that pretends they're a winner.

>>13695874

The only thing I liked about BotW was how little handholding it has. There isn't a 4 hour long unskippable tutorial before the game even begins. The game doesn't halt completely to beat you over and over with a basic mechanic and its actually open world unlike every Zelda game after 1.

>>13695862

I really can't see myself ever playing it and I won't defend it at all after everything I've seen for myself. BotW looks like an overly experimental game with way too much empty fucking nothing and no actual rewardingly tantalising content like weapons or powers to unlock despite all the mini puzzle areas. Everything fucking breaks and there's no simple fucking system of using a bunch of resources to at least repair the ones you feel the most enjoyment using and attachment to.

>>13696009

Too bad it doesn't make up for the rest of the game being shit.

>>13695874

For people who really like Zeldo, it's like a fetish. It's okay to them that the art(gameplay) sucks, because it turns them on so fucking much.

>>13695862

>>13695874

>>13696019

I'm just glad I never once got hyped for it. Just thought "Cool, impressive, good for Zelda fans" when I saw Link jump off his horse, load up a futuristic energy looking arrow with a kind of steampunk twist in how slapped together it looked with a couple mechanisms and fire it at a futuristic yet ancient alien looking living machine enemy. As if he was already used to fighting these new monsters in an unfamiliar world and outfit.

I was curious what kind of route they would go with such a bold and unexpected presentation that actually spoke pretty fucking loudly if you put all this together. Next you find out it's supposedly a completely non linear game where you can immediately set off wherever you feel like and the gorgeous colorful sprawling field most likely made you subliminally wonder what kind of grand and revolutionary adventure was in store with that mentality and what kind of civilization and people you would discover and I was fascinated at what a legendary and universally known franchise like Zelda would mean for videogames if it did something truly incredible and what this might even mean for my cynical perspective of games never being able to live up to their full potential.

And then I started finding out what exactly that all amounted to and at what cost.

>>13693771

No. There are 999 moons in total. And collecting 883 will turn it golden.

>>13695874

I find it bizzarre how Nintendo catches up to trends well behind everyone else and everyone acts like its a big revolution because they are new things for Nintendo IPs. If they made a hand-animated mario game in the style of Astroboy next year, everyone would be fapping over how groundbreaking it is.

If two months is a whole year, what planet do you live on? Does it just rotate around its sun that fast, or is it so close that it just has a small circumference to rotate along? And if the latter, how dim is that sun?

Only Mario game I played was that 2d one where you jump over shit. I have no fucking clue how they managed to make a franchise from that

>>13698060

Jumping over stuff in games is for little kids. But this is what nintendoyearolds think is gaming. They would never last in a fucking war zone.I'd march them through the fields into the killing field. Nintendoddlers burying themselves and the shit games they like alive. YOU WONT LIVE LONG ON NINTENDO GAMES

>>13698072

Are you certain? What if it's collecting all the unique moons that turns the sail golden, and pushing past 883 by buying extras has no effect?

200 turns the sail golden. That anon has the wrong info.

>>13702644

It turns it yellow, but at 100% unique moon collection or 883 moons, not sure which, it turn golden or at least more golden.
