Mario Odyssey

[Steve Evil]

I know we've got a few Switch owners on here, so is anyone else getting this tomorrow? I've got the digital copy pre-ordered from Amazon for £40 and I can't wait, I'm sure most people think it's a kids game, but these are fiendishly difficult once you get to the higher levels, so really are for all ages. Looking forward to running around dressed in a wedding dress myself.

It's getting pretty awesome reviews!

I bought my son a Switch this week for his birthday and this is due to arrive tomorrow. We've just acquired the camera in Zelda and it's all I can think about for the time being so Mario can wait until Xmas.

Preordered the code, looking forward to it.

So come on then when i get home should i order it?

[DoctorX]

At work so haven't played it yet, but look at the reviews - if you like Mario games it's a must. Incidentally, it's a <6 Gb download so it should go on internal memory easily if you get a code from Amazon (which seems the cheapest).

Amazon have annoyed me.

I pre-ordered the game, check online today and it says it's not going to arrive until Monday. What's the point in that?

So it's now cancelled and I'm having to go to Argos, with their laminated book of dreams removed for tablets, and pay £7 more for it just so I can play it tonight.

Im seeing the download price now at £48 from amazon ehich i assume to be the same price as the nintendo store.
Prefer download over card as i will forget to carry the cards around

I preordered with Amazon and it's arrived today, however I'm into Fifa at the moment so will probably hold off playing this for a while. I've heard it's meant to be very very good though.

Have played this for several hours now and I think it’s outstanding. A fine successor to Super Mario 64.

Super Mario Sunshine

I have bought it and downloaded it, not yet played it though.

Hopefully it will be like Zelda but easier as im more a sport or racing kind of gamer and got stuck on the first devine beast!

For petes sake was going to play it when the wife had gone to bed, now she wants to play it to but is too sleepy to play now. Looks like im waiting another twelve hours!
I could of saved myself £10 and got it from amazon as the cartridge would of arrived before i get chance to play it!

That said i guess if this is the worst thing happening in my life at the moment and all that but sweet jesus women are annoying sometimes. Especially when we all know she will play it for five minutes not like it and never play again.

That sounds almost identical to my Wife. Will give the two player mode a go and see how that is. I've managed to do the first couple of levels and am amazed at just how densely packed they are with hidden secrets. Did the first boss and then ran back through the level uncovering another 11 moons that weren't available on the first pass.

Had a few hours on this over the weekend, reminds me a lot of Mario 64. Incredible game, absolutely love it.

Managed to get it at Smyths Toys for the same price as Amazon.

A fantastic game. Really beautiful to look at. Fairly simple too to play. Totally different game to Zelda BOTW really but both are very good. Personally I think Zelda pips it to game of the year.
