2001: A Mario Odyssey

Re: NEW 3D MARIO

I like how just like with Colour Splash and with the Switch itself everyone is making quick conclusions about this game's workings.

Like it could be literally anything at this point in time.

The ice(?) mountains look fancy though, could be that just like on world maps there are completely unrelated biomes are bordering each other here.
Maybe slightly open world-ish, but this setting is a bit too specific and hostile for that to be entirely feasible.

... I was literally about to make a joke in this setting.
 
Re: NEW 3D MARIO

I'm just going to restrain myself and call this a tech demo.

Super Mario Galaxy 3 would be fine but I'd rather want an entirely new Mario game.

Also, I'm hoping this thing will have multiplayer AND there isn't a splitscreen AND you have freedom to go wherever you please in a level, like how there is a Sunshine mod that can use Dolphin's netplay to achieve similar results.
 
Re: NEW 3D MARIO

I wouldn't mind a new mario game beyond the galaxies. They could wrap their minds around new stuff besides gravity play and a few new powerups
 
Re: NEW 3D MARIO

Maybe they shake up the Mario formula. Right now, this looks pretty standard. I'm not super impressed. But what if one of the the Nintendo Switch's partners is the UnReal people...? *licks chops*.

With everything that the series has accomplished, what could possibly be done to shake up the formula?

Don't get me wrong, tech demos CAN look impressive for their time or even look like games-in-the-making (Mario Kart XXL and Peach's Castle). For me, there is way too little footage shown so far, gameplay highly resembles just the first two games, and the presentation didn't look polished enough to look like a proper game reveal. So I'm just being a little skeptical that this is a new game we're seeing rather than a tech demo that'll either not be used or end up to be something a lot different.

I don't know personally, but Link did shake up the formula and you'd think that its series accomplished a lot too... besides, Mario IS criticized a lot recently for being safe and it's a legit criticism.
 
Re: NEW 3D MARIO

The game looks like 3D World with an open hub, no timer, linear levels and hearts (as seen in the second part) which makes it look similar gameplay-wise to the 64/Sunshine/Galaxy games.

Also the girl in the trailer takes it with her and gives a controller to her friend as well as one for herself, multiplayer confirmed?
