2001: A Mario Odyssey

memoryman3, is there anything else you'll talk about that doesn't involve amiibo? Literally 16 out of 20 of the last posts you made involved amiibo.
 
Well, he'll talk about games "not having a good roster ".
Meaning complaining about lack of Daisy.
 
I'm more worried about Luigi himself at this point. That's one thing Galaxy onward (and 64 DS) did better than 64/Sunshine: not shafting Luigi.

I'd love Waluigi (and Wario) in this though.
 
Let's look at Galaxy's hype development cycle. Was Luigi ever shown while after Galaxy was announced until Galaxy's release? I don't think so.
 
I wasn't following games when that was in development so Luigi's presence was a nice surprise for me, though I didn't know there was absolutely no hints of him pre-release. Still, I hope he makes it in Odyssey.
 
As far as I remember, Galaxy didn't even make a trailer that showcased Luigi or even hinted Luigi in a screenshot. Any knowledge I have of Luigi being in Galaxy is only well-after the game has been released. I'm hoping it'll be the same case in Odyssey.

You just can't include all of this fan service in Odyssey and then leave out Luigi.
 
The Smash render of shirtless Mario reminded me of Master Higgins (Adventure Island):

In fact, this is why I thought Mario's topless look is a bit familiar: the body stature between Mario and Master Higgins are similar, except the facial hair. It only took me to see Mario running that made me recall the picture of Master Higgins running.

Thank you for reading.

This one is a little different. The internet is more widespread now than it was in 2007, and there was a trailer showing Rosalina in Mario 3D World well before release. Also, the plot, costumes and more seem to be focused on Mario and don't really leave much room for Luigi.
