Bought a Switch for this, no regrets.
Played for a good while yesterday, just focusing on exploration and getting as many moons as possible in the first three kingdoms. Without a doubt, this is the game Ive wanted for at least a decade.

This game looks damn good.
I think my favourite kingdom is Donk City. Mainly because what happens at the end. You can tell this kingdom got most dev time

How do you do the thing where Mario dives towards his hat mid air? The thing he does here:

The game looks and plays at its best in TV mode, but it falls short of being a masterpiece because you can perform an optional move in portable mode? Huh?
On that note, this seems to be one of the few Switch games that isn't that gorgeous on Switch's screen. It looked like resolution gets pretty low, while textures take a hit. It looks pretty washed out. I was stunned by HOW MUCH better it looks in TV mode. Splatoon 2, in comparison, looks phenomenal in handheld mode. I've heard Mario Kart 8 Deluxe does as well(I don't own it).
I've only played in handheld mode so far so I haven't gotten into any motion controls yet. To make that jump higher without motion controls, hold one of the face buttons to extend, then while at your peak, hold another one of the buttons and you'll get slightly taller. Honestly it's probably easier with buttons than motion.

Amazon somehow messed up my order and I'm not getting it until sometime today. I've got nothing else planned for the day so I hope it comes soon! Or else maybe I'll just swing by a store and pick it up.

Did you order through Prime? Make sure to contact help and get a free month. Makes the delay somewhat better.
You'll get it later, certainly not from the Jurassic World.
The graphics can look pretty rough in handheld mode. Looks like it drops all the way down to 480p at times especially during motion.
Looks a lot better in docked mode.
I know it's blasphemous, but I wish they would have given us a 30fps option like fire emblem warriors.
Either that or simplified the geometry like Splatoon 2. That game looks great and runs at 60fps.

I haven't played handheld mode but the Y button performs 95% of the same actions as the motion controls.

I have a problem with my Switch, bought it yesterday and i attach the joycons it tells me they aren't after a minute and i dont know what im doing wrong
The system was designed to be played as both portable and console but its biggest game has functionality that isn't usable or isn't as usable in handheld mode and I'm not allowed to complain about that? Huh?
I'll have to try this. Hope it works. The tutorials should reflect whether or not you have motion controls turned off.
Still, having to make Mario twirl before he can do the orbital Cappy throw is a good example of why button controls can't be useful in a pinch like motion controls can.

You roll faster when shaking the joycon than you do by pressing y. There is literally no reason to design the game this way. Absolutely none. There also appears to be no way to do your homing attack with the hat after it's extended without motion. These are stupid design decisions that make no sense.

Can't you just double tap Y and it will do the homing thing? Pretty sure I was doing that before I knew that it was also motion activated. The rolling is annoying but you can still roll and repeatedly hit the Y button to keep going.

Lovely game. Played up to the desert world yesterday, planning to get some more time later today.
I really dislike the exclusive motion control actions, like the circular hat throw. Other than that, I think this game hits everything out of the park!

I've tried pressing y again after a first press and it doesn't work.

If you spin your character you can do that attack

Yeah I use it, but SM64 still has a better sense of speed/momentum, in addition to having a lot more cancellable moves.
Also no motion controls whatsoever
I think it's ok considering they did away with a lot of the usual Mario environment types, but it's probably the one I missed the most.
If they ever decide to do DLC for this game, I'll gladly welcome it.

Yeah, the

I keep thinking I'm seeing references to Super Mario RPG all over the place, and some worlds have more obvious ones than others. Maybe I'm just crazy.
I found Peach wearing a
Boo pin in her hair and it made me sad we didn't have any ghost house levels.
I wonder if they've done this on purpose because they have another Luigi's Mansion coming out soon?

Really like what I've played so far, just got to the Sand Kingdom.
I think if I have any complaints it's that you can't get all the Moon's in a world until you move forward with the story. I got all the purple coins and all the the moons that the bird hints at in the Cascade World, but when you look at your list there are plenty of empty spots left
Makes me feel a bit bad about moving forward but right now I'm interpreting that as "complete".

You need to wear specific outfits to get through some doors/please npcs.

Yeah, a lot of moons (sometimes even half) are locked until you beat the game. I would've preferred if they didn't show them in the list, but anyways... I recommend you finish the game before worrying too much about completion.
It gets a lot crazier in the second half.
And the really good boss battle start from the Wooded Kingdom on.

I am struggling to settle on a control scheme for this game. The pro controller feels more comfortable but I hate missing out on some of the moves and versatility that comes with split joy cons.
Its frustrating.

So it looks like the moons in each world's normal coin shop
in the post-game. As in
If it hasn't grabbed you by the time you hit street level in New Donk then it might not be your GOTY.
Same here, I impulse bought a pro controller to play Odyssey with for the nicer sticks but doing cap spins and whatnot is really awkward with a two-handed pad.
I don't think I can go back to split joycons at this point.
become infinite
you can buy as many as you like if you have the cash. As best I can tell this is to help with grinding up 500 moons for the last kingdom, because you only have to buy one from each shop in order to complete the entries in the moon list.

Does anyone know if theres a moon connected to this? I have a moon left in this area...but no idea where to start.
Well I just finished the game - meaning I got the credits sequence. According to the parental control app, it didn't take me very long
. Thankfully there's still plenty to do. I didn't feel like I was rushing through it in any way. Well, I was probably subconsciously interested in getting to New Donk City.
I think it's a good game, great even, but I feel slightly disappointed. Likely I was overhyped from the Metacritic store and all those 10/10's. Zelda had gotten all the same hype and that experience really delivered for me. I wouldn't call this new Mario as revolutionary. Just a really solid title.

just getting the end credits usually means very little in a game like this.
How does it compare to the Galaxy games?
