By Spyder_Monkey Go To PostI've seen some things, man.There's tons of spoilers out there. Watch out yall
Man I love Galaxy 2 but it gets waaay too cute with those side-scrolling levels. They're so simple and control so weird since the movement was set up to maneuver in 3D, and there's just too many of those segments. Which is why I dig the 8-bit stuff in Odyssey, having 2D physics and a run button is gonna make em feel so much better.
Can't wait for this. I'm trying my best to avoid all the spoilers that are out today (with the street date being broken in some areas), but it's testing my willpower.
It's kind of surreal to me that this game is only a couple of days away. I feel like these mario games are super huge events so having one within like 4 days is intense. Played through a hat in time to warm up.
Don't know what to play first, this or Wolf. I guess this?

Me too. I should've went on a black out.
This is gonna be my first time talking about a big game here on Slaent. Will be interesting to see how the thread develops. I hope people share cool videos but are also conscious of spoilers. The new Switch 30 sec video feature is both a blessing and a curse.

Do we know if the video capture works with Odyssey? Would suck if not.
By Sleepless Go To PostDo we know if the video capture works with Odyssey? Would suck if not.Yes, it was confirmed by Nintendo.

Good news. I'm sure I'll get lots of use out of it.
By Xpike Go To PostAnyone know if we'll be able to preload the game for digital copies?
I don’t think the Switch eShop has any pre-loading functionality.
About time I have something besides rehashes to play on this damn console. Been a long wait since Zelda.
Anyway what's a good and price effective wireless headset for the switch. Since we can finally use them for sound.

By cheeseholidays Go To PostI don’t think the Switch eShop has any pre-loading functionality.Unless I'm crazy I think firmware 4.0 added preloading functionality. I wouldn't be surprised if Odyssey is the first game to take advantage of it. Maybe a day or two prior?

Says it applies to the Switch, so
According to that it sounds like it will preload, unless I am misunderstanding it.
By HvySky Go To PostUnless I'm crazy I think firmware 4.0 added preloading functionality. I wouldn't be surprised if Odyssey is the first game to take advantage of it. Maybe a day or two prior?
They actually did, yeah. If I remember the patch note, it said that it was gonna be available for certain games, so maybe not all?
By Xpike Go To PostSeeing 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
Really looking forward to this after feeling let down with Sunshine, and being super-disappointed by the Galaxy games.
3D World was very good, but Odyssey definitely looks to be more of what I had been hoping for.
My first thought about the GAF collapse was sadness. My second thought was "WHERE WILL I TALK ABOUT ODYSSEY?"
Not sure if this'll be my permanent home, but hey, at least we've got this. ^^

I was a long time lurker on Gaf and I’m genuinely upset that I won’t be able to see how crazy the review thread was going to be.
The review thread would’ve been legendary, it’s a shame we’ll never see it. But a new Mario game is a treat in and of itself. Can’t wait for Thursday!!
By Bond Go To PostI 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 haven't seen an OT here that's on par with GAF's OTs. Like this one here is just a shout out to Mario Odyssey right? It's just some images and a trailer....the OP didn't even post what they are hyped about.
But....SLAENT is such a pleasure to use, it's sexy....its good to be apart of it.....I will be here for all gaming, tech, movie, and book discussions.
Remember this community is fairly new! Site started over 3 years ago. If you want more peeps here invite them! Cool to see feep here. That avatar is so recognizable haha.
I'm considering canceling my retail pre-order from Best buy and going digital. GCU makes it such a steal tho...
By seph Go To PostI'm considering canceling my retail pre-order from Best buy and going digital. GCU makes it such a steal tho…Not to go super off-topic but how do you like GCU? I've been thinking of signing up since Amazon's been slowly whittling down the benefits of having Prime and I rarely buy games from them anymore. Odyssey might end up being the last since I do wanna take advantage of that 20% off while it lasts.

Odyssey might end up being the last since I do wanna take advantage of that 20% off while it lasts.GCU is amazing. 20% off games at any time and stacks with all their deals aside from Black Friday prices. And you get 20% off amiibo as well.
By lukeprism Go To PostThe review thread would’ve been legendary, it’s a shame we’ll never see it. But a new Mario game is a treat in and of itself. Can’t wait for Thursday!!Someone is making a review thread for Odyssey here. It will be interesting to see if people put as much care into OPs and OT threads here as gaffers often did into big threads. Overall my sense is that this place is much smaller and less active.
By Nelo Ice Go To PostGCU is amazing. 20% off games at any time and stacks with all their deals aside from Black Friday prices. And you get 20% off amiibo as well.On snap. I didn't realize it stacked with other discounts.
I've yet to fall prey to the Amiibo bug but it's so tempting... I want those Metroid ones so bad.
By Maiden Voyage Go To PostWas hoping for a preload. Oh well. The wait is rough….There might still be a preload yet, the 4.0 Firmware enabled preload. I'm betting by Tuesday, it would be crazy for them not to do this - Splatoon 2 killed the eShop on launch night, and this would be much worse for them
Pre-ordered the Mario Odyssey Switch bundle from Target months ago. Gonna pick up Puyo Puyo Tetris and Zelda also along with a Pro controller. Can't wait. Also just received a 10 percent off coupon from Target for one entire purchase so that's going to help. Only issue I have is I dont want a digital copy, so I'll try to sell that code for about 50 bucks to someone and use the money to get the physical.

Oh I know, just lamenting because I’m sure it won’t be as... dramatic as GAF’s would have been. But as long as we have scores we can discuss ‘em anywhere so I’m looking forward to the thread either way!
I do miss the activity myself but this site feels a bit more cozy, which is a fair tradeoff in the interim.
Preordered the physical, took 2 days off to play, and ready to go. They say the box has the lyrics of the Mayor’s song (title track), but I wonder if it’ll come with a traditional manual with classic art?
Pretty upset, I have gone on blackout since the E3 trailer, and I just saw an image briefly, spoiling an area. Isn't too much in the grand scheme of things but will bother me nonetheless.
It's more the fact that I was spoiled when actively trying not to be rather than the actual spoiler itself.
With no context it's hopefully not too big of a deal, so I'll just use it as a lesson to not delve into anything Mario related this week.

Yeah, I've officially abandoned YouTube this week for fear of spoiler thumbnails. I'm usually not too picky about that kind of stuff, but Mario is my jam and I want as much of the game as possible to be a surprise.
By lukeprism Go To PostThe review thread would’ve been legendary, it’s a shame we’ll never see it. But a new Mario game is a treat in and of itself. Can’t wait for Thursday!!For real. I was legit so excited to watch the fireworks. I can't deny how much entertainment I got out of watching folks lose their god damn minds in those threads.
I'm getting it day one but I still haven't finished Zelda and I'm at least 120 hours in...I just can't complete it efficiently without getting sidetracked and no doubt this will be the same. Though Mario does seem to have a little bit more linear pathing compared to Zelda which may help.
By lukeprism Go To PostThe review thread would’ve been legendary, it’s a shame we’ll never see it. But a new Mario game is a treat in and of itself. Can’t wait for Thursday!!im sad we'll never see the garbage fire that was going to be the Sonic Forces OT
By Irikan Go To PostThey actually did, yeah. If I remember the patch note, it said that it was gonna be available for certain games, so maybe not all?
Hadn't heard that, nice! Hopefully they use it for this.
Stoked for this. Will probably be how I spend my weekend. Friday can't get here fast enough!
By seph Go To PostI'm considering canceling my retail pre-order from Best buy and going digital. GCU makes it such a steal tho…I've thought about going digital as well, but GCU and the $10 reward are enough to stick with retail.
