Are you then just going to open it tonight and play it or do you have to wait longer?

I don't know if this is old news, but I noticed the fractal structure in the north of the map:
So I looked up what it was and apparently it's
Which confirmed my suspicion that it's a reference to the Koch snowflake.
In conclusion: Nintendo are nerds.

Haha, it's tempting.
Yup, it will probably realistically be a couple of hours from now! SO excited.
I'm only half hour in but I can already see the comparisons to BotW with how the game always distracts you from what you wanted to do, hah.
It already managed to surprise me for the first time with
, that put a huge smile on my face. That's good, that's damn good, and the ride's only starting.

This is the last game major title I'm buying from Amazon. Best Buy GCU at least offers in store pick up.
Where art thou, Amazon delivery person?

Christ lol
I disagree with most of this, but the bit about Fludd is spot on
So far it's a little bit more involved, at least better than the galaxy games since there you basically had nothing except for lumas. The bossfights are way better than anything 3D Mario had before though. I heard the ending is pretty good.
It's mostly skippable, but still present to an obnoxious degree. Since I have been skipping most of it, I can't compare it with total confidence, but at about 8 hours in I'd call it the most story/cutscene/dialogue heavy of the series.
Good God, this game is incredible. The amount of variety on display is stunning.
That's quite a combo.
YESSSSSSS
That's quite a combo.
Really wish there was a button press for this one. It works on my joycons about 20% of the time I do it -_-
We back in Wii ERA.
Was anybody else reminded of Richard Spencer getting punched in the face when you get to the Cloud Arena? That was so goooood.
Just "beat" the game. It's fantastic, but does anyone else feel like the main game is on the short side? Unless I'm wrong, there seems to be only one main objective per kingdom, which is a bit of a letdown.
Does anyone else find that their joycons desync more often while playing this game than they do while playing others?
I never sent them in for repair because in most games I own like Zelda and Mario Kart, desync issues would only pop up if I had the controller resting against my leg or under a blanket. But it's pretty bad in Mario. I'm going to have to figure out how to send them in.

Spin the stick to make Mario spin and press Y. That's the alternative.
Brought my Switch to work thinking I'd find a spare minute to play.

Yes, I had this issue quite a few times. I guess it's an issue with the game then, hopefully it can be patched.
Even if it were only a few hours "long", it's the type of game that I'd want to come back to multiple times in my life, so it doesn't seem too short to me. Mario games are kind of like great timeless toys that are always fun to take out and play with when the mood strikes. They're not Uncharted.
I played this for the last 5 hours and all I can think about is this game. Collected a ton of moons in Cap, Cascade, Sand, and Wooden Kingdoms and am at 75 moons now.
The game starts slow and is pretty easy, but man is Nintendo firing on all cylinders with this game. Incredible player freedom and exploration so far. It's like the long lost Banjo-Kazooie threequel we never got.

Nice, that actually works much better for me. Thanks dude
Really liked
and it's more tranquil focus on discovery. The
were especially cool.

Not if you've been paying attentions Sonic franchise has lacked great controls for the last few console gens, Mario is always tight. They added rolling and the rest falls into place.
The fact that you need to use motion controls for certain moves is a real bummer especially since a lot of people like to play in handheld mode. I guess this confirms that Nintendo does consider the Switch a home console even though I and many others thought that was more marketing than reality and that this was going to be both the handheld/home console going forward. Guess we can look forward to a new handheld in a year or two.
Loving this game so far. Only 3 hours in, so I'm afraid to read the rest of this thread so I won't be spoiled.
It's insane how the first two worlds are deceptively short (finding all moons is a challenge). And some moon challenges appear deceptively easy (doing the platforming section now within the previously blocked door on Bonneton's tower, which I assumed woulf be easy but is kicking my ass).
I'm afraid to rush through these worlds

I'm enjoying this a lot, especially coming off of 3D World with it's more restrictive controls. Ever since Sunshine I always felt that 3D Mario games were good in spite of their controls rather than because of them, and despite having to be accustomed to some of the new inputs, this feels great and fresh.
Yeah unfortunately I bought it along with xenoblade when they were doing buy$100 get $25 back. With BB policies, they will recharge me the $25 if I cancel any part of the order. Ended up having to drive to another BB to pickup the game. Will need to go return the shipped copy once it gets in next week :/
60 FPS.
Modern Nintendo seems to prioritize frame rate over resolution for most of their titles (the obvious exception being Zelda). This is almost always the right call, especially in a platformer.
