The duality between this OT and the one on GAF, with all that clever phrasing from Bowser on that forum's current situation, is just fantastic.

I have the game preloaded and can't wait to play once it goes live. I've managed to stay away from the spoilers floating around the web so I'm very excited to see everything that Nintendo hasn't shown off in the pre release materials.

I really hope there's some kind of haunted/spooky kingdom.

Sadly I've got a bunch of stuff going on this weekend, so I won't be able to put as much time into this as I'd like.
Still, will play couple hours tonight, and some tomorrow afternoon.

So hyped.

Holy fuck, I just played this in my car (deus bless you, Switch) during my lunch hour. It's incredible. Can't wait to properly dive into it at home.

Man, this dual OT is probably the best metaphor for what's happening these days with GAF and ResetEra. Well done, TheMoon, it's perfect. And I'm glad to be on the bride's list.

Now to wait for the code that I bought from Amazon to unlock.

Can anyone confirm how many Power Moons there are? BotW playtime is 435h currently and I'm missing 223 Korok seeds and 10 star fragments in Master Mode. I'm hoping this will be a pretty lengthy game to 100% too.
Don't know the exact number, but close to 1000 is what I've heard. Over 900 at least.

Been playing all day, this game is absolutely fantastic and just a joy to play.
Yeah, really liking it too so far. I tried to go in as blind as possible and I think that was the right approach for this game. There are so many moments that feel unexpected, which is, well, not the rule when it comes to Mario.

The only thing I'm not really on board with is the art direction, those oversaturated colors in combination with the somewhat dated looming "realistic" shaders and some of the enemy designa... eh. That's just me though, others will probably dig it.

Great OT!

I am not going to lie, going from the dread of the weekend to now posting in this Mario OT. This is exactly what I needed.

I can't wait!

I didn't realise you also made an OT on a certain other forum....the difference is hilarious.

I was thinking "eeeehhh, kind of an underwhelming OT title", then I saw what you really did over "yonder". Simply inspired.

There are apparently 836 Missions in the game. Some of these Missions are special and they offer Multi-Moons that are worth three regular moons - bringing our total moon count to 880. Some people will consider the final number to be 816, but that depends on your thoughts on a certain style of Missions and it should become obvious when you find it.

There's a caveat to the number of 'moons', though, so I rather just define it as 836 Missions.

woke up, got ready for work, checked to see if it was unlocked - JPN version.

It was.

Played the first 20 min and went to work. Now all I can think of is playing it. I can't concentrate on work.

T minus 5 hours

Holy dip, I just read both the letters. HAHAHA OMG. You brilliant natural satellite, you.

My hype for this game is going to end me. The worst part is I can only play for like an hour so I can get some sleep for work tomorrow, but I know full well I'm going to just play all night and be an unproductive waste of payroll tomorrow instead.

Btw, didn't say it before, but AMAZING OT(s) TheMoon. I didn't see the other one until after I read this and had to read it again with a different lens XD

Just got my shipping notification email. Was getting a little nervous since BB has dropped the ball on release day delivery for my last handful of pre-orders. Unfortunately UPS usually delivers late in evening so it's going to be a long day.

I played for like 30 minutes, but have to study for a test tomorrow. <.<

At least my avatar is ready.

I can't wait for this to come in tomorrow.
I also look forward to the SMO speedrun community.
Already have people doing some real fancy moves (Dalagonash's twitter... man I watch those moves and I realize this is the next SM64 where the community comes up with things for the next 15+ years)
Can't wait to tear into this game.

*looks above* yeah that and the other one 5 hours ago.

Man, I decided Breath of the Wild was my favorite game of all time this year. I'm starting to think that Super Mario Odyssey might already knock it down a place. Switch momentum is insane, literally can't recall any other platform hitting this hard in its first year.

Oct 27,2017 is also going to be a date for the ages for game fans, jeez.

Question! Do we know how many times Mario can throw his cap and mid-air make a jump? During the speedruns that I've watched, I've seen Mario do:

Jump -> Throw cap -> Jump after cap -> *RESET* Jump -> Throw cap -> Jump after cap *RESET???*

Essentially never losing air... how many times can Mario actually do this?
