If these low intensity gestures are giving you issues either see a doctor or start making hand excercises. There are more common everyday actions that have higher chances to give you a carpal tunnel than playing Mario Odyssey with motion controls. Not to mention one wonders what type of reaction a person would get from entering any PC game thread to start talking about carpal tunnel concerns.
The gestures in the game are pretty natural, the hands don't contour or flex in any unnatural ways. On the contrary, in general the ergonomics of the Split Joycon setup are more relaxed than a normal two handed controller since they allow a variety of postures to opperate.
Have concerns about carpal or other any repetitive strain injuries? Dont play videogames with anything other than a Kinect. "Video game Thumb" was an issue since the early 80's.

The octupus boss was by far the trickiest so far, lots of coordination required actually.

Got my switch today! Put on the glass screen protector, looks nice.
The mario case is cool, but I don't know what side its suppose to go in, and how the flap is suppose to lay on the screen.
Is the switch logo suppose to be on the top and mario hat on the bottom? Don't want to damage the screen.

I'm hitting up the last third of the main content now and oh my god the
kingdom.
Totally didn't expect it and was wowed.
Loved the
over the course of the game, that was clever.
And damn
is super cool.
Hell yeah.
19 since 64, 15 since Sunshine and 10 since Galaxy.
Commence feeling old.
Yeah, lining up the stomp was pretty tricky what with all the moving about.

I was hoping it would be a smallish exploratory kingdom rather than just a boss arena for the dragon, but still goddamn that art was awesome.
Loved the
gradual reveal that the odyssey is actually a balloon, not a sailship
And damn
the moon kingdom
Low gravity moon physics with this game's awesome movement system?
Is it really 10 years since Super Mario Galaxy? Oh my. I still don't have a Switch.

Already stuck on Cascade Kingdom trying to get the first power moon. Just can't figure out where to go past the Chain Chomp. Anyone able to help?
Have you tried using the T-rex?
Shifty
Member
The very first moon, in the rock?
The chomp is key, but it won't do what you want on its own.

Ah, shit. I forgot you can throw your hat at things and do that. That helped!

Good good, haha
For what it's worth I forgot at that point as well, did a few laps of the available area before I figured it out because my brain was in Super Mario 64 mode.
Anything in particular? I've seen some textures with fancy geometric detailing, and sometimes the shadows are a bit jaggy, but nothing super consistent or noticeable.
I have yes, I'm sure there is a technical term for it I'm not quite aware of, but it does seem random and strange. I just assumed it was the Switch trying to process complex things with limited ish hardware?
Never had a problem doing it with the Pro controller, I just give it a quick flick to the right and it works every time.

What in the hell...package updated as "Delivered" on Amazon so I go down to check with the front desk and they say nothing came. I WANT TO PLAY THIS GAME. What the hell is this?! Does this happen? It doesn't give any info on who signed for the package, or where it was left. Is it possible they just logged as Delivered before actually delivering it...? The Amazon carrier sucks.

It has arrived...and the game is glorious so far.
Yes its dithering for transparency it looks like. Completely normal.

So, is there no way to spin throw other than using the joycons untethered?

Spin the left stick anticlockwise or clockwise and hit y, think Zelda spin attack.
It's not idea and I would have preferred it on a button but eh, it works
If you live in an apartment or rental complex, check with their office. They might have it if your package says delivered.

There is something I want to know. Is Luigi in this at all? Like in Super Mario Galaxy where you unlock him after beating the game.
You unlock his costume so you can make yourself look like him. Alongside other Nintendo characters

I finally got my Switch and Mario Odyssey and god damn I absolutely loving both the game and the console. People weren't kidding about Switch being Nintendo's new console and handheld at same time. Just thinking about playing SMT V both on big screen and handheld mode makes me so excited.
Recorded some co-op gameplay of the wife and I. took a bit to get used to but way more fun than the Galaxy co-op. https://youtu.be/eOLncKsrRQg

Sorry if this has been asked but am getting the feeling you are a bit handicapped if you play this game in portable mode as it seems you lose a fair few moves and stuff by not using the controllers on their own due to motion controls. Does this hamper much or make that much of a difference?

Nintendo, please stop with the shitty motion controls or give good options to replace them
I think that was the hardest i've ever laughed at a Mario game before (though this game does have a lot of funny moments).
