Though we were in the same stages, we didn't encounter many of the same elements. Lord.)ĭuring my demo, I was in the room with a few folks from Giant Bomb.
I personally love this sort of freedom and support for experimentation one of my only discomforts with the Galaxy games was the feeling that there really was only one correct way to accomplish many objectives. All of them valid, all leading to the coveted moons, Odyssey's version of stars. There's even a massive hunk of meat you can inhabit to accomplish a particular objective.Įven in my brief time, I saw many paths through the stage. Once I stepped into the colorful luncheon kingdom, the possibilities exploded: take over a fireball to traverse lava, or inhabit a frying pan-hurling Hammer Bro to destroy giant blocks of cheese (and any enemy in your path). The very first Capture (I didn't make up that pun, it's in the game!) has you taking over a frog and leaping to fantastic heights. In the same fashion, Odyssey encourages you to experiment and try that hat on EVERYTHING. That's where you get down to business and learn how to utilize the game's new core mechanic: throwing Cappy at objects and characters to take over their bodies and abilities.
Here's hoping.Īfter seizing control (and Nintendo made sure I played using pro controller, handheld system, and motion-control joycons at various points), I was dropped into a sort of hat town. The game's trailers, however, made it look differently.
I'll reserve judgment for the final game since Breath of The Wild actually did something clever with Nintendo's other major princess: She was the real brains of the story and not a weepy damsel in distress. Peach was a rad playable character in Super Mario 3D World, as was Rosalina, so going back to the drawing board on gender seems pretty regressive. Sure.) It's a double-damsel situation, which is less than awesome, but thus far its my only beef with the game. In the intro, it's established that, yup, Bowser wants to marry Princess Peach, and kidnaps both her and the younger sister of Cappy-the living hat that offers Mario unique powers in Odyssey (which, yeah.
There is one thing that irks me, and let's get to it right away, because that's what the game does.
