    On a positive note, you know one reason I really like Odyssey? Because it realises that 3D Mario games should work differently from 2D ones. Prior 3D Mario titles felt like they were trying to recreate New Super Mario Bros style gameplay in 3D and didn't really work as a result. Odyssey is Nintendo realising that this was the wrong route to go and embracing the open world experience that 3D games can do so well.

    You can see the same thing in reverse too. Trying to put 3D Mario gameplay into 2D generally works about as badly as 2D Mario gameplay in 3D does. It can be done in some cases (like with the fan game Super Mario 63), but even then the new 'demake' is very different from the original in level design and really only works because of that.

    As someone who's played all the 3D Mario platformers, Zelda games and other such titles in general, I'm getting really sick of all the mini games now.

    It feels like developers don't realise that a game can be entirely made of a single gameplay style and work fine.

    God, I miss the days before social media. People seem so much humble on forums, and more interested in helping people than personal fame.

    Man you tell me... Even other creators suffer from that, since everyone seems of produce stuff, there's almost no public left! And this is also why forums aren't what they used to.

    To be honest, I dislike most modern social media.

    As someone's who just beat the Darker Side of the Moon in Odyssey, I think it's not so much 'super hard' as it is ridiculously long. 14 sections for a Grandmaster Galaxy/Perfect Run setup is stupid.

    Honestly, it's really damn hard to discuss anything about Odyssey's endgame/postgame without spoilers. And no, Wario Forums doesn't have much in the way of spoiler rules, nor is it intended to.

    I'm not complaining, just saying, I kinds guessed we'd end up in the moon anyway. You just confirmed it.

    This is probably the first time I've seen something outright said to be permissible on this site aside from like emulation stuff.

    It's like they realised that dying after getting most of tthe coins was annoying, so greatly restricted their mission layout in the endgame. Interesting contrast to most Mario 64 hacks, like Star Road and Last Impact, which scatter the red coins everywhere and make you have to traverse the whole level without dying to get them all.
    CM30
    Seriously, note the pattern. Bob-omb Battlefield, Whomp's Fortress, Jolly Roger Bay, Cool Cool Mountain, Big Boo's Haunt and Shifting Sand Land have you find them across the whole level. But then every other level sticks them in the same small area.
    CM30
    Hmm, why does Mario 64 make the red coins so much easier to find from the 6th course onwards?

    Looks at a certain dragon like boss in Mario Odyssey. Hmm, journalists now have a real reason to compare it to Dark Souls!

    I think a lot of things could potentially be considered spoilers before a game is officially released

    I dunno what dragon CM30 is talking about. I dunno if it's a boss or anything of the sort. As long as we keep it like that, it's cool, I think

    Hmm, seems Mario Odyssey has been leaked online. Some real interesting content in the later kingdoms...

    Apparently, one retailer in Portugal started to sell Mario Odyssey, just like that.

    Really needs to happen too. The Mario Land games are great, but they're getting a tad outdated now.

    Both Super Mario Land and Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins are practically begging for the remake treatmeant (Espeically SML1 which while still fun, has aged pretty badly IMO.) hopefully since Nintendo has now considered them to be on the same league as the console titles http://nintendoeverything.com/wp-content/uploads/super-mario-bros-anniversary-site.png hopefully we'll get something in the future (And if not remakes, then how about a new 2D/3D Mario game that takes elements from SML and SML2)

    It's not happened yet, but Nintendo seems to acknowledging those games more and more now, and a remake seems like something that's gonna happen at some point.

    How are they acknowledging Mario Land more and more nowadays?

    So apparently a real cicus benefited from Paper Mario Color Splash giving them free advertising: "In a bizarre accidental case, in Paper Mario: Color Splash, the Emerald Circus troupe, at one point, requests Mario to follow them on social media. As it turns out, there is a real Emerald Circus out there, which got a burst of activity on their Facebook and Twitter pages. They embraced the coincidential identical name too, with a full playthrough of the Emerald Circus stage on their Facebook page. "

    You actually pay people online for doing some work as admins and writers with good cash? Interesting!

    Well, I'm not getting anything, just saying. I don't want people to think otherwise.

    Writers can get a share of the ad revenue from their articles, but it's not exactly going to be much money. Online ads don't pay well even when you get 100% of the revenue, let alone anything less.

    I see. It would be nice once in awhile if I get paid to write a few articles online for you.

    Secondly, gonna need a way to make some more cash quite fast, since there's stuff I probably need to pay for this year. Funny how everyone is so willing to support YouTubers, but not writers, artists or website owners.
    CM30
    Right, a few updates about this site. Firstly, it's likely I may try and downsize the site's hosting account in future, since it costs way too much for just this site and Gaming Reinvented.

    Even when Luigi's Mansion first hit the streets, the graphics were very inconsistent for an in-house Nintendo launch title.

    I remember people poking fun at the glaringly unrefined details, like the flat, tilted mansion and warped lightning bolts (@CM30 that video can't be running off a real Gamecube, surely).

    @Magma Believe me, I played enough Sonic Adventure to know that XD. hopefully though my point still stands (That older systems and Hudson to a lesser extent did better then this.)
    Magma

    @TB100 I would say so. After MP4 Hudson either used recorded ingame footage or Real Time rendered cutscenes but never a pre-rendered intro like MP4 again.

    Seriously though, this is a little much explanation:

    I had to read both that and And Then There Were None (Ten Little Indians is another title it goes by) in 7th grade, and I really liked them.
