We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
Hopefully we can have shared placement in the voting. At this point, I would put both at #1. :)
Seeing so much positivity for this game is making it really, really hard to pass it up, especially considering I have a short trip tomorrow that I could play it during. Is it as difficult to play in handheld form as I think I read the other day, or was it overblown?
I'm 4 worlds in and I think this will be the best platformer i will have ever played in my life. I still struggle landing junps and gauging the 3D space just like I did with Super Mario 3D World on Wii U but I absolutely love the design, music and mechanics.
This game gives me the feeling I had when I played Mario 64 the first time, or the Galaxy games. It's that kind of a step forward in Mario games.
I have literally cracked up laughing three times at really odd stuff in the first four areas. I normally don't laugh at games/tv/movies/whatever.

The question is just a mirror; what the Rock is cooking has been inside you all along
I had the wrong tab open, but I'll just leave this here anyway. :lol

I love this game, but controlling Bullet Bills is an absolute nightmare. I almost threw the controller during that part in the Sand Kingdom that they demoed in the Tree House.
I'm in the 5th kingdom I think? Played like 5/6 hours already. Loving it. Several times my jaw has dropped, especially in the Cascade Kingdom.
I feel like it's impressing me smidge less than Galaxy 1/2 but there is still so much left to play. I'm already hoping we get Odyssey 2!

It is pretty simplistic, but it's fun. I'm 130 moons in and all the level design and puzzles are pretty basic.
But this game looks amazing on my 65" OLED
Great, thank you so much! Normally we only buy/"collect" guides for things like RPGs, but I'm willing to drop $10 for the paperback guide to make the wife happy, and this saves me $20 over getting the CE guide for whatever the bonus content is there (guessing art/interview type stuff). Thanks again!
Lost track of how many hours I've played so far today. This game is pure jollyness. And I've only visited four kingdoms so far. I'm excited to see what's up ahead.
Controlling Mario is giving me Venom Snake flashbacks. It's pure bliss. I'm loving his extended repetoire, especially the rolling: can't stop using it!
Perfect time to visit Tostarena then, enjoy.
I'm just about to enter the Wooded Kingdom (after the Lake Kingdom), currently with 82 moons.
Not going to spoil anything, but the ending to this game is perfection. From the actual gameplay to the final cutscene, I can't think of a better execution.
I think my favorite thing about the game so far is that, so far, nobody questions or minds the fact that Mario can just turn into a sprite on a wall. It's just a normal thing that he does.
Do you mean stuff like the upward toss and downward toss can be done on, say, a Pro controller with no motion? I know you can spin around and throw to do the spin throw.
Ok, so when jumping, you can throw your cap, dive, jump off the cap, and then do another dive.
But, after you dive and jump off the cap for the first time in midair, are you able to throw the cap and jump off it again to effectively link jumps together? Or is it just a one time move?
I love it. The smooth scrolling, the art, the little sounds for zooming in and out...it's amazingly well done and polished.

OMG, there is so much to do after the main story...what the hell?!
How, Nintendo? How do you do this in such a short time? Unbelievable!

You won't believe how 8 straight hours can fly. Play SMO and you WILL believe.. God damn, my body aches,lol
This game is like a pure dose sunshine. I've been smiling nonstop, which makes the game an A+ in my opinion... Can't wait to get back to it.
I just want to take a moment to say how happy I am to be here, how in awe I am of what was accomplished in creating this, our shiny new home basically overnight, and how much I hate you guys for playing Mario Odyssey while I'm stuck here, not playing Mario Odyssey. (Soon.)
Btw, not that anyone'd notice, but I dropped the "thought" in my name because it was too long and too dumb.
To new beginnings!

Just got my copy but I have an article critique to write and then have a road trip to Dallas to see Brand New this weekend.
I don't think I'll have much time till next week. I want to get lost in the sauce. I'm making the tough decision to not even put it in my switch until I know I'll have the time

This might be the last game I order from Amazon. Have Amazon Prime, was suppose to be here today, and it's delayed. This is the second time this has happen in a month. Metroid: Samus Returns was the same way. Was delayed but when I got the game it was a empty package. They had to rush me a copy of the game. In both cases it's behind handed to USPS from Amazon and that's where the delay is happening. I don't put my PO BOX for a reason and they still ship it that way. So pissed right now. Glad I didn't bother taking today off or I'd be even more pissed.
If this is a repeat of Metroid and I don't get this delivered until Monday instead of tomorrow.....man. If the box is empty like the last time. I've never once gone off a customer service rep but this might be that first time I lose my cool.

I am loving the variety and general whimsy embedded in this game. The stream of constant rewards for exploration, the constantly changing play mechanics and (for me in particular) the portability is making the prioritising of real life very difficult. Nintendo bringing that magic again!
I think we are missing a lot.
I only got four out of the five empty circles in Cascade Kingdom. Couldn't find the obvious one so thought I would come back to it. Then I went to the sand location. Not even half way through and I filled up the circles and there are many more moons still to get. I took a quick peek at an online guide for Cascade and realised I missed a lot! No more guide peek for me.
I honestly don't remember the last time I sat down and spent 3 hours in a row doing just one thing.
Game's magical.

When my 4-year-old son first saw that he said, "LOOK! IT'S MARIO MAKER!"
Some impressions so far:
The games overall feel is as strong as anyone could hope for with the Mario games. Poking and prodding the world is delightful. There's so much density to the worlds that it's kinda silly. The breadth of power moons for better or worse is exciting in guaranteeing that excitement around the corner and in tandem with the cosmetic reward structure ends up feeling pretty solid in spite of losing linear level structures. The opportunity to break the more linear sequences beyond cascade kingdom is marvelous. Mario Sunshine this is definitely not.
Cappy and the opportunity he creates for diverse gameplay and expanding mario's moveset is also fantastic without necessarily simplifying things a bit too much like Fludd did, plus he's more enjoyable as a character. Playing this game dual joy cons is a joy from the thorough use of the HD rumble. Plus the return of a flexible Mario jumping moveset is a wonderful feeling indeed
Story-wise, I like how fast this game gets into the thick of things. 3 Minutes in and I'm triple jumping and diving and adjusting to the controls well. The deceptive size of the Cascade and Cap kingdoms in this regard is also quite a boon for the pacing.
And of course, the music is magnificent.

Wii U Pro controller is acting wonky with this game, worked fine with Mario+Rabbids. I guess I'll try with the joycons for now, but since they didn't include a charging grip I guess I'll play later once they're done.
Have $30 in Best Buy credit, was thinking about putting it toward Yakuza 0 but it may end up on a Switch Pro controller.
