Rough translation: "This is "Capture Senobi" which captured the new character "Senobi". It is a character image of a bulb. You can see chopsticks in the distance! What?"

"You can move to high places, break blocks and things."

Just pre-ordered this on Amazon. €45. Never pre-ordered anything before. Can't wait now.

I can't believe how much cheaper it is for the physical copy

It's mad alright. I've gone physical cartridge for all of my big purchases for the Switch. Only gone digital for smaller games.
Like having the cartridge plus I can swap games with mates too.

Those 3 new kingdoms better not be locked behind those awful SCamiibo. It's a distinct possibility.

It really isn't a possibility.

Not a chance.

PowerA Is Making A Super Mario Odyssey Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Grip

http://www.siliconera.com/2017/09/14/powera-making-super-mario-odyssey-nintendo-switch-joy-con-grip/

There's a couple of more images and details at the link. It might match up better with the red Joy-cons in the SMO Switch bundle. Though don't count on it, I've seen previous grips being way off, that was at the start. Maybe they're better communicating now.

Any heard what the Irish price is for the Mario bundle?

Proper red joycons!

No idea on tthe price but fair warning, it's a download code and not a physical copy of the game. Nintendo just stop squeezing those pennies. Actually, expect it to cost what the Splatoon 2 bundle was, I heard it was a rip-off and that too has a download code. I see that it's £400 on Amazon. Ya, good luck with that.

It's like watching a 15 year old blonde strenuously denying that she isn't marrying Bill Wyman. The struggle is where the pain comes from dude. Get in the tub. Drown with us...and your red joy cons...

Just watched the latest clip from the Nintendo Direct. Man, I didn't think I was this excited for it. Cannot wait for this to release. The Switch is by far the best console I've owned from launch in terms of quality games.

Download codes are fine for games all but guaranteed to be excellent, in my opinion.

I actually sold my physical Zelda to have the download code. I didn't want to be swapping games in and out, and I'll always want that game.

Super Mario Odyssey is 5.7GB's in size. Using Google Translate:

Free space of 5.7 GB or more is required for downloading. Depending on the Internet environment, downloading may take time.

That puts NBA 2K18's save file of 5 GB's to shame.

And that 5gb save file has to be on internal storage as well. A 5gb file out of 26gb space is quite big.

What do you mean 'has to be' on the internal storage? Do you not get to pick whether a big downloaded game goes on the storage card? :eek:
Seems a bit harsh as you'd have no choice but to delete it at some stage should another game come along. Anything I've downloaded since putting in the memory card seems to automatically have gone to external storage.

If you have an external sd card installed the games will automatically be installed on that instead of internal storage. But save files can only be stored on internal storage as far as I'm aware. NBA 2K18 has a 5gb save file. The game itself is far bigger.

Sligeach's post was saying that NBA 2K18 has as big a save file as the entirety of Super Mario Odyssey, I think.

Oh... wow. Sorry I thought it was the game size. Never imagined a save file that big :eek:

Hi all,
So I have an eShop voucher worth $35 that was given to me as a present and have been thinking I will use this to get the digital copy of Mario Odyssey when it comes out. Right now my Nintendo account is an EU one with no balance in there. Is there much involved to getting a US account and using the eShop voucher plus whatever extra to get Mario Odyssey from the US shop? I'll just be putting enough with the voucher to buy the digital copy of Odyssey.

Thanks,
M

Got an existing balance eShop?

Yes : changing your region and currency wipes out your existing balance. You can avoid this by creating a second account on the switch and setting the region settings for that one to US. Use that account when you open the eShop to get the US shop. All accounts on the Switch can play the games regardless of who bought them.

No: You can follow the easier "yes" advice, but if like me you're a bit anal about having all your games under one account then go to your account settings and change the region to US. This will break the link between your my Nintendo account and your region locked WiiU/3ds nnid. Don't worry, you can reconnect them later.once you change region and log back into your account on the switch you will get the US shop

Regardless, set up a US accounts and a Japanese one so you can get access to demos early, eg Japan have a Monster Hunter XX demo that's not getting released anywhere else

Hello Banjo,
Thanks for outlining that! I have no existing eShop balance of any description. I'd like to have all my games under one account please and thank you ;-) I have bought ARMS and Splatoon 2 so far under my EU account and Mario Galaxy will be my third purchase. I'm not so bothered about having a Jap account just for early demos to be honest. If I am following you correctly my best route seems to be "then go to your account settings and change the region to US" etc.?

Thanks,
Mark

I've done both. While I started out in ireland and registered an EU code for the BotW DLC there, currently I "live" in South Africa and have cheap copies of Splatoon 2, Overcooked and Minecraft. My 4 year old daughter lives in America and has a cheap copy of Has Been Heroes from Gamestop. My 6 year old lives in Japan. My 8 year old refuses to let me create a non-Irish account for her because she's a strong independent sulker. So far, no problems with moving accounts or accessing content.

1 thing though, I have not tried to re-link my WiiU and 3DS profiles with my Switch account since doing the move. I have been assured it works flawlessly by someone on these boards, can't remember who, but can't speak to it from experience. And that disrupts your Mii on My.Nintendo! HORROR!

Don't give a monkeys about Mii and My.Nintendo....is that where they give you gold and silver points and then nothing even remotely nice to spend them on!? Oh and those same yokes that expire if you don't use them on crap you don't want or need!? If it stops the emails coming that X and Y are going to expire after a certain date then I'd be happy to be rid of them!

I'm probably going to order this from Amazon, but then a premium of some €15 to buy from Ireland bricks and mortar and get to play on the day, that might be worth it.
Every mainstream Mario title, NSMB franchise excluded, has been a classic of the format, never to age.
Super Mario Bros,
Super Mario Bros 2 (maybe the weakest point in the franchise, given that it's a reskinned non-Mario game Doki Doki Panic)
Super Mario Bros 3 (just sublime)
Super Mario World (even more sublime)
Super Mario 64 (created a genre, and remains one of the best 22 years later)
Super Mario Sunshine (under rated by people who haven't played it, still startlingly good now, particularly given the gen, PS2/Xbox)
Super Mario Galaxy (Wow, just wow)
Super Mario Galaxy 2 (Even more wow)
Super Mario 3D Land (reason to turn on the 3D)
Super Mario 3D World (Mad combo of Mario World feels and a Mario themed toybox/diorama)
and now
Super Mario Odyssey

Digital is £41 on Amazon. Same day at decent price, you're never going to sell it anyway, give Smyths a fiver for an empty box for the shelf in December when it's out of stock and no good to them anyway

I see the logic in it, but I really like having the physical media.
I have all the mentioned Super Mario titles in their physical format, including the NSMB titles and the Super Mario Bros 2 (SM USA) title released on the Famicom Disk System.
It's essential to my peace of mind that the physical presence of the ongoing Mario franchise continues in my collection!

Yep, both of them.
I really need to find the time to play them though.

One I don't have is the Japanese Super Mario 64 variant that introduces rumble, certainly it transforms Wave Race 64, better already on an NTSC N64 but with rumble, which isn't in the original release, it's amazing. I've played them only via an N64 Everdrive.

The penultimate console Zelda was pants, the worst, that being Skyward Sword. Then followed it up with the best in the series in BOTW. The same I think might be said of SM3DW and Super Mario Odyssey. I've been playing SM3DW again in the past couple of weeks. It's not great, has no challenge whatsoever(I'm on World 7 now), hate the limited levels and camera control. Don't know how either scored so well and they both have detractors, rightly so, myself included.

I feel like Nintendo phoned them in as Skyward Sword came out when Wii was dead and needed an added peripheral. SM3DW, Nintendo were desperate for a quick release on Wii U as it was already in trouble. They took a cookie-cutter and largely copied SM3DL from 3DS. Then were lazy again by making Captain Turd: Treasure Tracker. Another game I didn't enjoy and again had no challenge.

earthwormjack

Captain Toad was a great budget game. I'm hoping for a sequel to be honest.

I can see how 3D World being built for multiplayer pissed people off though. But I loved it. Champions Road made it all worthwhile anyway

CiDeRmAn

Super Mario 3D World was outstanding, might have been a departure from Galaxy but it was beautiful, action packed and inventive.
And the review scores reflect this.
It followed in the path of Luigi's Mansion in a way, creating tangible dioramas on-screen.

Captain Toad was great fun, confounding expectations with a Mario themed 3d puzzler, expanding on the original in the platformers.
Perhaps it was a little slight for some, but there was plenty of replay to be had.

It'll more than likely be a Nintendo e-shop code recieved through e-mail, then just type that in to the 'redeem a code' section on the e-shop, confirm and Mario Odyssey will start to download.
