Anyone go to the best buy demo event today?. They gave out some free swag like a sticker book, switch lanyards, and Odyssey postcards. Would have stuck around to try the 1 demo station but there was a line so I just got my swag and left for the gym lol.
Btw Best Buy is doing a midnight launch and you get a free poster if you buy from there on top of the preorder deal with $10 reward cert and cappy coin. Glad I decided to do in store pickup with my order lol. Also at least on the west coast it looks like it launches at 9pm.

Damn shoulda taken Friday off. I'll hopefully be working from home so I can get some early Odyssey time
Serious question - what's the speed running community going to be like?
I know the game won't have glitches like SM64, but will it be as linear to finish as SMS?

how is sms linear? genuinely asking?
i feel like there's ton of speedrun potential. all moons speedrun will take ages tho.
By FatRiker Go To PostSerious question - what's the speed running community going to be like?Seeing the movement options we've seen I think it will be a joy to watch, a return to SM64 skill level with every level being as open as Bomb omb battlefield

By Switchpro Go To Posthow is sms linear? genuinely asking?The way SMS is structured is that to complete the game, without glitches, required collecting 50 shines in a linear order. SMS eventually got broken and now it's pretty popular, but it took a while to get where it is now.

i see. well it's a bit more linear than 64 but less than sunshine. you need a certain amount of moons to move on and you need to get like a bunch of "story" moons but the rest is up to you and there are lots of moons available. i see a lot of potential in finding better routes.
movement is a joy.
Hi everyone, just joined after the debacle over at gaf. On topic, Amazon.ca still says they will email when this item becomes available. I preordered Odyssey in April... Get it together Amazon.
This will be one of the few games this year that I buy full price, day one. I'm usually pretty keen on waiting but I absolutely must have this game at launch. The feelings of just... pure joy that it gives me when I see it are too much. God, I cannot wait for Friday. I need to get around to pre-ordering on Amazon already for the 20% discount.
Also, newcomer from GAF. Excited to be part of the fam!

By Hispanicguy Go To PostComing from GAF as well.
Pretty excited for Odyssey. Photomode will consume me, lol.
Seriously. With all of the different filters and features, I can easily see myself spending dozens of hours in photomode, at various locations in the game.
I'm trying to clear my backlog as we speak since Odyssey going to take up most of my leisure time in the foreseeable future.
Ah I can't wait for this game. Should we make a separate thread for the photo mode? Also love that Nintendo dropped the vid cap update right before this game. Should be fun sharing stuff.
I look forward to playing this game along side everyone here and everyone posting their impressions, discussions, and 30 sec video clips.
Hi from another GAF migrator. Hope this place can be my new home. Odyssey looks incredible can’t wait till Friday!
Nintendo has been firing on all cylinders this year. I hope I get as much mileage out of this game as I did Breath of the Wild
By Red_sutter Go To PostNintendo has been firing on all cylinders this year. I hope I get as much mileage out of this game as I did Breath of the WildYeah seriously, this has to be the most impressive launch year in a long time. I guess PS2 in the west would qualify, but beyond that, BotW and SMO in one year half a year within each other is insane.
Between starting my new teaching job and becoming a Dad, my available time and interest in gaming has waned.
Still beyond hyped for this though. And hooray for Switch’s portability meaning I can squeeze in extra time to play it.

First post here, seeing some familiar avatars from websites of yore, and also many new ones (including mine, my hipster bunny has now become cool officer bun). Well met!
I'm so excited for this. It's also the first time in a long while that I've managed to stay away from watching extensive gameplay footage of a high-profile Nintendo game. I know a few of the kingdom's themes, names etc. but apart from at most a screenshot or two I know very little about what's in them. Gonna be great seeing it all on Friday (if I can survive the wait).

Another first poster, and I can’t say how much I’ve been waiting for this. I enjoyed the likes of NSMB on Wii U, and Super Mario 3D Land, but I’ve been waiting for a full on 3D Mario for an age. What I’ve seen of the game so far looks mesmerising, and I can see me losing plenty of time to the game once more.
I never got accepted into GAF, but used to browse the site and read the Nintendo OT! So excited to finally be able to discuss Mario Odyssey on Friday
I don't own a Switch yet, but Nintendo is making it so hard for me not to buy one. But I still can't buy one, too many stuff professionally related to sort out this year, unfortunately got no time for a new gaming console.
Anyway, if Odyssey really does live up to all the hype, the Switch is going to have a legendary first year of life, damn.

I've not been a GAF member in a long, long time. But I found this site anyway.
Cannot wait for this game.

First post! Hello. My name is Todd. I'm a libra. I enjoy candlelight dinners for 2, fuzzy blankets, long walks on the beach, and Mario!!!!! Can't wait to grab this game. Me and my son are gonna have a blast!
It's so close. Not sure if I want to rush through it and go back to old levels or 100% every kingdom as I play.
Gonna skip it for xenoblade 2. Ran outta budget since I grab FE warriors with dlc. Guess I will pick Mario up when there's a dry spell next year
By BowieZ Go To PostMy cat just died from a snake bite. I need this game now.
Wtf. I'm sorry.

That is insane. Damn
I’ve been on a complete media black out for this game, the last footage I watched was the E3 trailer footage.
Going in blind is the best, can’t wait.
