Nintendo have massively overdone it on porting older Mario to the console - to the point where Mario burnout is genuinely a thing - and they've neglected new content. It felt like all the ingredients were there to build an amazing sequel.
I am so surprised that a sequel never came. Mario Odyssey was good, but it feels like a game that was missing the magic. But somehow it just wasn't my thing as a whole. However, I did like the subtle nods to 30+ years of Mario lore, possibly the best Bowser section in the series, Pauline and Peach's characterisation and the fact that Pauline returned at all, and the willingness to play with slightly more realistic-looking environments which always works better than you would think in Mario's universe. I really tried, but parts of it just annoy me the fact that the Power Moon missions feel like quantity over quality and make the game feel grindy, that the possession mechanic isn't as interesting as it should be, and some really jarring missteps in character design (those Broodals) and worldbuilding (the Mushroom Kingdom being a tiny mushroom-shaped island just doesn't feel right somehow). It's not a bad game in any sense, but I just couldn't shake the off-kilter feeling I had despite playing well into the post-game. playing Switch!įor some reason, Odyssey just didn't do it for me despite me being as hyped for it as you'd expect. In somewhat related news, it's now been five years since the 'NX' became the Switch.

This game introduced so many unique characters/locations and the gameplay is nearly perfect.
Happy 4th Anniversary to my favorite game of all time, Super Mario Odyssey. If we do see any official tribute posts, we'll let you know.
Alongside Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, that makes it one of the highest-selling Mario games on the platform.Īlthough Nintendo acknowledged the third-anniversary last year on Mario's 35th-anniversary milestone, it doesn't seem to have done anything this time around. The title is currently the sixth best-selling Switch game of all time - having now shifted over 21 million copies around the world. It might seem like yesterday or a lifetime ago, depending on who you talk to, but this week marks the fourth year since Super Mario Odyssey made its debut on the Nintendo Switch.
