God, this looks so amazing. I’m excited to pick it up!
I played the demo at Nintendo live. It’s pretty fun, still just a Mario platforming game. Nothing that groundbreaking like some reviews would have you believe.
Be interesting to see what it’d get if you took the Mario textures off and it was reviewed as just the game itself instead of the branding, I saw all the 9/10, 10/10 and it’s just standard for any reviewer and Nintendo.
I’m pretty happy with it. I feel like Nintendo took a lot inspiration from Yooka-Laylee and the impossible lair.
Which I’m okay with since that was the best 2D platformer in a long time. The idea of unlocking new abilities for use in stages and backtracking. Plus the interactive world map. Though I feel like YL took that idea a little farther.
I can’t wait to receive my pre-ordered one in the mail!
Same day launch as Spider-Man 2. This year is just littered with amazing games. Excited to try this one as I never could get into 3d Mario games.
