Anyone not a fan of the motion controls? I enjoyed Galaxy's but having no option to button map drives me mad especially since my joycon is defective.
I am using split joycons from the very beginning and have no intention to change that. It is a very comfortable and relaxing control method.
Okay. The bosses are pretty neat so far--I'm mostly talking about the (sand world boss)
and the (forest world boss)
. Hope they keep it up.
In general, the game is just non-stop platforming, exploration, and fun. You are always trying to accomplish something and the activities are varied and well-paced. The game is extraordinary so far.

I'm playing the same exact way. I'll try to check many areas out but I find myself continuing on to the end. Then I'll go back and get every moon later
Hmm, I guess I'm going to need to stop being lazy and get my left Joy-Con repaired in order to fully enjoy Cappy...
There was one particular puzzle at the third kingdom that I could not do with the Pro Controller. Having two separate rumbling controllers made it trivial, though.
I'm keeping the Joycons for this one.
I'm doing the exact opposite. I won't leave a kingdom until I've found all of the regional coins and Talkatoo tells me that there are no moons left for me to get.
I was laughing and kinda crying from the joy of it. This game is pure magic.
You can do the downward throw without motion controls if you press Y after a ground pound and if you spin mario and press Y you can throw the hat in circles. Also if you have the pro controller the motion works fine.
I have been playing around with different jumps trying to figure out what is optimal for gaining distance and height. I think for distance the best has been long jump - hat throw - dive onto hat - another dive. The game seems to block you from chaining hat dives after the first one. Anyone else try this or their own experiments with the new move set?

Motion controls with the pro controller have felt pretty good. Flicking my wrist like I was throwing a frisbee had me getting the spin throw 100% of the time. The rest of the motions have worked fine, though I haven't really needed anything else as of the third world.
I was a bit worried when I kept hearing the sunshine comparisons, but I'm loving it so far. I even went out and bought this and a switch for my brother. The coop seems like it would be great for his daughter.

Been playing for ~10 hours now, this is great. Feels like a good melding of Galaxy, 64, and 3D World, with some new stuff thrown in. I especially like how they've expanded mario's moveset. Learning how to do different movement tech comes pretty naturally. Honestly the game doesn't feel revolutionary at all for mario, but it didn't need to be. Difficulty being pretty low is probably the biggest complaint, but it's better than the Galaxy and 3D land/world games at this point.
Can anyone confirm whether or not Boos are in this game? I haven't seen or heard of anything regarding boos or a haunted style kingdom. Kinda disappointed about that. Other than that, really enjoying the game!
I'm hooked! I've only bought 3 games this year including this...other two being Mario Kart and Zelda.
Just bought a pro controller for this game and turns out it's waggle heavy...only move thats a hassle is the spin shot but I can live with that!
Just got to Luncheon Kingdom.
Somehow the graphics work despite the horrible artstyle for some of the levels!

The levels are a massive departure from past mario games! Some SMW enemies make a return but i've not seen any boos or ghost houses yet...
I played until New Donk City (and a bit of it). I'm really enjoying the game a lot. I love the variety of controls that capturing enemies brings. I loved also the bosses who require this kind of variety to be beaten or the platforming parts based on them. I have to stop now as it's 2 AM, but what a joy this game is.
Have you tried using them without the attachment? I find them way more comfortable that way.
I've played about 4 hours now. It's a good game, reasonably entertaining, but it's not wowing me that much. I'm playing exclusively in portable mode, no motion controls, so I guess I'll miss out on some minor stuff, but I can't stand motion controls so that's OK with me.

This game is perfection. This is the perfect video game, I can't believe this.
adds new moons to every world...what in the hell is going on?!
Bought a Switch a few hours ago. Good game so far. I'm in my 3rd kingdom. There's a lot of new additions to the saga i found very nice.
The only thing i found annoying was having a delay in the jump button i mean Mario jumps like 1sec after pressing the b button. Happens to me twice, both on 2D Mario parts in the Dessert world. Console was docked and playing with joycons with the piece of plastic who looks like a dog (don't know the name).
I'm in a break watching a movie with family but can't wait to keep playing.

Just got off work and pulled my copy out the mailbox. So glad Amazon came through on launch for me. Pro controller is charged and waiting. Ready to play this all weekend with some Stranger Things 2 mixed in when the wife gets sick of me playing.
yeah this game is quite good
the hd rumble in this game is amazing. it was legit exhilarating the first time the odyssey took off and did the train whistle sound or whatever.
I'm early in the sand kingdom right now
also running, rolling with that run momentum, long jumping out of the roll, and then rolling out of the jump timed right to get that little boost is awesome. nice way to get around all that sand.

There are a total of

2 AM over here. I backtracked a bit (barely reached the sand kingdom and defeated the first boss there). I was simply mind blown by how even the smallest kingdoms change and keep offering new things when you think to be almost done. I can only imagine how insane later kingdoms are gonna be.
Nintendo truly made something outstanding this time.

Finally had some time to play. At first I used the grip, but then I tried the split Joy-Con method and it made the motion stuff much more bearable for me. Especially the 360° attack, which is really awkward to use. But that's literally the only thing I can possibly complain about at the moment. It's super smooth, looks great, sounds, but most of all, feels great. I'm really tired after a long day, but I'll probably play the shit out of it tomorrow.
How the hell do you get that pile of coins in the secret ice passage in the beginning of the game? The one that leads you to the lion looking dude you can ride. I tried a long jump from where you get the Moon, but couldn't make it. Can you go long jump>throw hat>leap and make it?
From the instant that I boot up this game (and, oh my, these loading times are lightning fast!), this have evokes a sense of childlike wonder in me that I haven't feel in a long, long time. I'm audibly gasping at every turn. "You can do that!?", "I can possess that!?", "There's no way there's a secret here... Of course there is one!".
It's incredible. Pure magic.

Nabbed it yesterday, just beat the final boss.
Amazing game. That ending was great too. Barely even have a 1/3rd of the Moons as I'm aware tho. Time to go snag em all.

In Cappy's Kingdom I've hit 11 Moons and can't get any more hints from the bird or Toad despite there being another 6 Moons to collect.
I assume I'm done for now and have to return later on...?

I think if you spin in a circle then press the throw button it can do the spin attack. I've not tried it myself but seen it mentioned.
Gotta be honest, I was a little disappointed
, but man...this game. The Bowser fight with the boxing glove caps is possibly the greatest Mario boss fight ever made.
Also, absolutely in LOVE with the snapshot feature. I've been cracking up jumping on people and taking pictures and adding filters to it, lol. Tons of gorgeous shots, too!

I had trouble doing that with Joycons as well. For whatever reason, though, it works perfectly undocked.
Metro Kingdom wasn't one of the first worlds

fuuuuuuuuck I clicked on the spoiler thread thinking it was the photo thread, but I think it was just post-game stuff. What did I see though was AWESOME.
