I'm impressed by the art style, they've really just gone for it and everything feels fresh. Does it use same engine as BOTW?

I play this game for most of the day, it is absolutely incredible. New Donk City spoiler below.
On my list for best moment of the year, easily.
I just finished the festival mission with the original Donkey Kong segment.

It plays fine in portable mode. Sure I miss not being able to correct my hat tosses mid throw but it's not a huge deal.
Dan at GiantBomb mentioned on the Bombcast that he had found all the moons without buying any, so he just went to see how many he could buy and it seemed like he could just keep buying them. He had 850 or so "natural moons" (I can't remember exactlty) and bought enough to get into the 900's. He thought that they were available if you just wanted to buy your way to the next world but he didn't seem completely sure. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Had to put the game down because I didn't notice I was playing so long that the battery was almost dead.
Guess I'll watch Stranger Things now.

You've 100%'d what you can get in your first go, yeah. More stuff unlocks later, but it's pretty stupid that they're listed from the get-go. Two things you can do to know if you're done are:
1 - check the Hint Toad or Uncle Amiibo - if they ran out of hints, I'm pretty sure you've gotten all you could.
2 - if all of your moons are one after the other in the list (meaning, if you have 17 moons you have 1 through 17), you're statistically likely to be done with what you can so far.
Again, pretty stupid, but you're done w/ it for now.
thanks. definitely seems to be to move on to the next kingdom.
The regular controls are perfectly fine. I'm using split joy cons because I like that setup anyway, but it's really only the occasional hat throw that required it. It's mostly just a "nice to have".
Thanks, time to go to he next world .
By the way, playing this with split joy con is perfect, I really want a Mario Galaxy remaster for switch
To add to this
There are a few times you need to shake the controller to do stuff, but you can do that with the pro controller/portable mode.
Played up to Metro Kingdom. Pretty good times, and I don't really like exploratory 3d platformers too much.
I have been playing for about an hour and man, this game is just amazing and so much fun already. It just runs so well, plays so well. I feel like a kid playing Mario 64 again. I also don't mind the motion controls that much which is odd to me. I thought I would despise them.
I expected a lot from this game but Nintendo really turned up those knobs to 11 for this.
I'm having so much fun with this, despite not being all that much of a platformer fan.
The fact that there are so many "small" moons is really nice, feels very rewarding to solve dozens of tiny puzzles, it's exactly what I like.

So far i would say i like New Donk City the most, haven't seen all the worlds yet though but this one has so much to do.
I spent over two hours playing the RC car minigame... at one point I was #8 worldwide. I felt kinda proud about it, rechecked a few hours ago and i had already dropped down to 22 or so. But oh well, it was fun.
Also, does anyone else just love taking the scooter and driving around? Jumping and "drifting" is kinda fun, plus the HD rumble is so good. Love that they used the engine sounds for that. HD rumble general is fantastic in this game.

Yeah, I don't like motion controls so I'm kind of relieved that they're not necessary. Thanks for the info :)
The split just doesn't feel quite right in my hand and my brain can't quite get used it. I went to the regular controls and it's served me well thus far.
This game actually brought me to tears multiple times. It's so jubilant, so warm, I feel overwhelmed buy it. Truly a game worthy of being called a M64 sequel.
I'm of the opinion that a single game is not worth a system purchase. However, between this, Zelda, Splatoon, and Mario & Rabbid Kingdom Battle, the Switch is totally worth owning to me.
I still don't use it as much as my PS4/Xbox, but the good games on the system are some of the best out there.
Man I love this game. I just finished the Sand Kingdom and I collected all the power moons. I think this is the first game that I actually wanted to collect everything.
This game gives the same sense of "if you think you can do something, you probably can" that BotW gives. I've found that most things I think to do/want to get to I not only can do, but receive a moon for doing so. Most notably so far in the Sand Kingdom:
What a game.
I took the fishing Lakitu outside of the pond because I liked that he floated and wanted to see how far I could take him. I ventured into the desert a little bit and noticed that there were fish shadows in the sand, so I cast my line and end up catching Captain friggin Toad, who gives me a moon.
What a game.
I feel you :D I caved in and bought the game an hour ago...and I don't think I can resist buying a Switch much longer xD
I was really digging the game, but the moment I took a mustachioed spaceship to a pure platforming level is when I fell in love.
This is some magic take me back to being a kid shit right here. Wow
Whatever shit is going on in 2017 is gone while I'm jumping Mario around these levels.
Thank you Nintendo

Played through the whole game using split joy cons. I don't use those stupid connector things I dunno if that is whats causing grief for some people.
I've played up to the first fork (and gone back through the first few worlds to comb for moons)... this game is absolutely amazing! Nintendo's understanding of game design remains second to none.
It remains to be seen whether its better than Breath of the Wild (an all-timer, in my book), but y'know, thats a high freaking bar!

Not to hijack this thread, but it is really, really great. I'm not normally a fan of that style of game, but I couldn't put it down. Highly recommended.
I'm not even a big fan of 3D Mario games, actually Sunshine is pretty much the only one I liked surpisingly..This game has pleasantly surprised me so far. I went into it thinking I wouldn't nearly like it as much as the reviewers whose articles and videos I checked out, but I'm having a blast. Definitely easy to lose hours in this game getting caught in a loop of looking for just one more moon or wanting to go check out if there's anything on the other side of that giant hill over there, etc.
I love the little challenges/puzzles even though most of them are relatively easy they're still neat to figure out. This is a Mario game that feels fun and fresh to me for the first time in forever. What a phenomenal first year for the Switch, far exceeded my expectations.

My kids are loving this, partly thanks to the controls.
I on the other hand, cannot get a consistent spin move with the hat when I move the joycons to the side :(

Have you tried playing without the straps? Game changer for me.
Nintendo made Breath of the Wild, which is a game I considered the best of the year, one of my favorite games of all time, and thought they would never top it. Today, almost 8 months later, Nintendo literally 1-up themselves.
100% in agreement with you. Like I mentioned earlier, if you want a switch, get it now before Christmas shopping season starts as Nintendo won't be able to keep the switch in stock this holiday season.
