Did the New Donk City Festival make you cry? (Super Mario Odyssey)

[Bog]

I'm crying because I missed that power moon when I played.

 

[The Almighty Tria]

It would have been better had the game not used the 2D Mario schtick so much before.

I still got emotional though. Theres something about unbridled happiness in certain games that makes me emotional.

 

[correojon]

I had a big smile from start to finish and a lot of dust got into my eyes :)

 

[Nemesis_]

I definitely didn't cry, sorry OP, but it was a great moment and one of the most memorable from Odyssey.

Still a bit bitter that the New Donk level in Smash doesn't really reference the festival as much as it could have.

 

[RochHoch]

Why would it?

 

[Cocolina]

When the camera pulls back and I saw that I'm actually playing through Donkey Kong I felt a sense of elation that I hadn't felt before. But I didn't cry. I've never cried at a video game.

 

[Wander_]

no, why would it make me cry?

rosalina' story in Galaxy did

 

[Hero Prinny]

i lol'd.

 

[sinny]

No, it was a cool moment but not emotional.

 

[Trigonometrize]

No. I thought the sequence was pretty unremarkable. I sniffled playing Champion's Road in 3D World though. That was much better.

 

[BizzyBum]

I did not cry, but yes it did get me a tad bit emotional considering I have been player Mario games since I was old enough to pick up a controller starting with the NES original.

The ending sequence with Bowser got me pretty good, too.

 

[Kamek]

No, but I'm glad you enjoyed it.

It was cool, and nostalgic, but I would have loved an extended version with allusions to Sunshine, 64, etc.

 

[Acquiescence]

I chose Sega over Nintendo as a kid, so no. Zero nostalgia or emotional investment for Mario on my part.

 

[Zellia]

Cry? Nope. It was a great setpiece, though.

 

[metsallica]

Close, yeah. Chuf dropping the all-out hatred for it on the newest Rebel FM made me cry harder though.

 

[VideogameVices]

lol. nah

 

[impact]

I always cry every time I play Mario. I thought this was normal.

 

[Dukie85]

Of course not, but that whole scene was a feeling of pure nostalgia for me, and I was just grinning from ear to ear the whole time.

 

[Berordn]

I liked the whole set but it didn't really do anything for me. Cool and a nice homage, but nothing that evoked an emotional response.

 

[Kawngi]

Not even close. It was cool to see, but crying seems a tad much.

 

[molnizzle]

No... and my first console was an NES.

I didn't realize this was something that made people emotional. I definitely smiled though.

 

[Deleted member 18161]

No but it's was great.

My mate completed the game but somehow missed it lol. I thought it was one of the main story moons?

 

[Derrick01]

Uhhh no. Can't say that I did.

 

[poptire]

I wonder if there are any Sega kids who get emotional thinking about Vector Man

 

[super moustique]

Nope... But it made me smile a lot.

 

[Kazer]

I cant wait to see the Kingdom Hearts version of this thread lol

The OT is going to be a hot mess.

On topic - no. It was a cool little segment but I didn't feel anything during it. New Donk was such a disappointing world.

 

[Phil32]

No, it made me smile, though!

 

[goldenpp73]

No, I have some dignity.

 

[808s & Villainy]

I think it was my favorite setpiece, if it can be called that, of any game I've played or seen this gen. It didn't make me cry though

 

[Deleted member 8112]

.

 

[spam musubi]

Not at all.

 

[Secretofmateria]

I got tingly inside, but no tears

 

[Deleted member 8112]

.

 

[Platy]

emotional, yes
cute, sure
cry ? eerrrrrmmm no

 

[Deleted member 13015]

It made me feel, yes.

 

[Ogni-XR21]

Honestly, it made me cringe, hard.

 

[Nose Master]

Nah, but media very rarely gets me to cry. I got chills tho, which is about the best that it could have done

 

[Apollo]

Yes, but mostly for real life reasons. I was in a really bad place in my life when they were running commercials for this game that played this song, and I really enjoyed them. So when I ended up getting around to playing the game it brought me back to those feelings

 

[zephiethewisp]

a lot of very Manly Men in this thread who would absolutely never cry not even when they were born

 

[Deleted member 10726]

Nope, but I get that everyone has different things that make us emotional. I cried happy tears during Persona 4's credits roll for example.

It's nice that the festival was so special to you.

 

[GinoFelino]

It did! Absolutely magical.

 

[Vibed]

I tear up at a lot of games, like Xenoblade 2 just this week, but this seemed more like a fun joyful moment than an emotional nostalgic one.

 

[Hikari]

I think the word you are looking for is emotional.... because I certainly did feel very happy and sad it was ending but I certainly did not cry.

 

[dlauv]

I got a lil misty.

 

[Laxoon]

This. I thought it was cringy because it's trying really hard to pander to a love of Mario which is almost nonexistent to me except for Mario 64.

If this was a modern 3D sonic paying homage to old sonic games the tables would be turned and everyone else would think Sonic and Eggman having a rap battle or running with orca whales while crush40 shreds would be cringy too I bet.

Lol imagine having this reaction to people not crying at a Mario game.

 

[mindsale]

What? No.

 

[Japanmanx3]

No

 

[MrSaturn99]

No, although I was on Cloud Nine the entire time.

 

[Richietto]

No but i has a smile on my face the entire time
