Super Mario Odyssey is here!
I’d hoped to finish Persona 5 before starting Super Mario Odyssey. That didn’t happen, so I set Persona 5 aside to see if Super Mario Odyssey is the 3D Mario game I’ve been dreaming of.
(Don’t worry, I still intend to play more Persona soon and finish it.)
First of all, I’m just delighted to have this style of Mario game back again. Super Mario 64 was one of my childhood games, Super Mario Sunshine was fantastic, I enjoyed Super Mario Galaxy despite it not having quite the same sort of world structure… and I waited all through the Wii U’s life for the next one. Super Mario 3D World, while fun, just wasn’t the same.
But here, I already feel that sense of exploration and fun. The basic controls are familiar, and using Cappy felt natural right away. I’m still getting used to some parts (and seeing which motion control actions can be done without motion controls), but it generally feels good.
It’s also beautiful! I spent a while in the first area (tutorial area) just looking around and enjoying its weird, oddly Nightmare-Before-Christmas-esque atmosphere.
And of course, the other worlds have a completely different aesthetic.
I haven’t played very much yet–after I got my first Power Moon I decided it was time to get work done, starting with this blog post–but I already love it and I’m excited to play more.
Are you playing Super Mario Odyssey? What do you think of it so far?
Does it have video recording?
I will check when I play today.
Okay, let us know.
Yes, you can hold down the button to record the last 30 seconds you played. (I haven’t used the feature before, so I don’t know if that’s how it works in general.)
I really want to play it, it looks great. My girlfriend has it but she says she felt it wasn’t anything special, but sometimes she is put off by very small things. She said something about Mario jumping when she didn’t want him to which annoyed her.
Hmm, I haven’t experienced anything like that. Both A and B are jump, though, so maybe that’s the problem?
It could be. She compalined that every time she was trying to interact with something he would jump unless Mario was 100% still.
I want to try Persona 5 as well. Do you think it is as good as the original P4? I loved that game so much.
Huh, I see.
Actually, Persona 5 is my first Persona game, so I can’t compare it to any of the others. It’s a fantastic game either way, though!
Sometimes she can be a bit strange when it comes to video games. ^^;
Oh man, that’s so lucky! I’d love to be able to forget all about P4 so I could experience it fresh again. xD You should try it out if you ever get the chance to.
I definitely will! I want to play both Persona 3 and Persona 4 Golden.
I’d reccomend the original over the golden. They added a bunch of stuff to the golden which is always appealing on the surface but it felt very fanservise-y and the new character just feels a bit tacked on and not interesting.
I’m not personally a big fan of 3, it starts off very promising but it didn’t deliver imo.
Huh, interesting. Most people have said Golden is the definitive version, but I guess these things are always subjective.
If you enjoy fan service then The Golden is the way to go for sure. It being on the Vita helps a lot too. Dragging out those old consoles makes me feel lazy. xS
Being portable is nice, too.
Looks promising.

Yes, it’s definitely a promising game so far.
