I can't believe we've already seen all five characters in ARMS.
Like the hat?

I saw this in the eurogamer video and awww @ tiny goomba
Daaawww how cute.
I always love the attention to detail in Mario games, in this case a wedding bouquet of Piranha Plants.
Pretty much, since they want more female characters on their multiplayer games too.
Baby Pauline too.
Seems like the November Switch lineup will be:
Zelda DLC 2
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Rocket League
Skyrim
Rayman Lagends
Payday 2
Sonic Forces
That plus Fire Emblem Warriors (presumably) and Mario Odyssey in October will be more then enough for the Switch to have a big holiday.

Wow, thanks so much for this video. In most of the gameplay videos thus far I've had a hard time gauging how the movement feels/controls in Odyssey compared to other 3D Marios, and this video allayed pretty much all of my concerns. It looks like a big step up from the gimped movement of 3D World and even the Galaxy series. Not quite back to the fluidity and insane options of Mario 64, of course, but still probably the biggest toolset for speedrunning in a 3D Mario in quite some time. Excellent.
It's not easy, especially if you're on neogaf and twittah, but it's definitely doable!! It's so worth it though. Experiencing all that magic with fresh eyes.
Okay so the demo is at there too (I'm in London so none for me).
Is the demo time restricted to 10 minutes (programmed) or the Nintendo reps move you on after 10 minutes?
Do you think that Nintendo will release the demo on the eShop?

That would be awesome! Would be sweet if we could get a demo in september or something!

One thing I noticed is that, this time around, they actively reversed the recent trend of nintendo games: there's almost nothing in the way that interrupts gameplay.
You take a minor moon? You can go on.
Cappy says something? No need to stop for that.
You die? 5 seconds and you're back in.
You get a major moon? No need to exit the level (like the previous mario games in this style).
Very nice.

You know what sold me on this game more than anything else I've seen so far?
When the Treehouse demonstrator jumped off the side of one of the maps, and some totally unexpected shit occurs immediately thereafter.
THIS SHIT RIGHT HERE is Super Mario 64 as fuck. When I saw this, it took me right back to when I was a kid, jumping through that suspicious basement wall and finding myself in a Shifting Sand Land.
Honestly, don't watch it if you don't wanna spoil yourself on a moment that's on par with discovering Shifty Sand Lands, jumping into Big Boo's Haunt, and draining the moat in Super Mario 64.
Just know that this game is bringing that shit.
I hope this game is chock full of this kind of thing.

Did you check out the sewers? I know you can go down there but I haven't heard anyone actually do it.

Odyssey of the Wild
I would have liked to find that when I play the game. Surprise ruined!
Well, I guess Nintendo decided to answer this. GAF slacking.

I've been avoiding new gameplay details like the plague. In fact, I haven't seen a single power up yet, which is fine by me.
Edit: or maybe there are no power ups, and all you get is possession.

I'm so sorry. I edited and included a warning but I was too late((
Lol glad I read the warning before clicking the link! I'm in media blockout with this game to be amazed at full once it comes out!
Good! That idle pose looks annoying, will constantly make me think I'm gonna take damage like in Zelda.

What's the answer? Can't watch Treehouse atm
Spoiled for people that don't want to know.
It leads to a secret ice cave that acts as a platforming course you's see in a game like Galaxy.
BotW Part 2: Electric Boogaloo
I'm so sorry. I edited and included a warning but I was too late
I spoiled myself watching the stream so not your fault
thanks for editing anyways so others won't.Made a thread about the two-player mode they're showing now: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?p=240881031
It was in the trailer. You fight that one boss there.
See if you can possess a fuzzy.

I answered this in my compilation post for the Moons shown so far in Tostarena
but with a new camera angle they used it shows there's a second moon higher up there!
That would be inside the pyramid at night, no?
Nice, the director just confirmed that the Wooded Kingdom is actually a giant greenhouse that's growing the flowers that will be used in Bowser's wedding ceremony. And he added that every kingdom in the game will be tied to the wedding in some way. We also know that the Sand Kingdom's Inverted Pyramid houses a legendary wedding ring; legends say that two people united by the ring are impossible to separate, even if the world turns upside-down. Harriet of the Broodals is looking for the ring in the Sand Kingdom.
They also just possessed a Fire Bro in the Wooded Kingdom, throwing bouncing fireballs everywhere. Also, the Fire Bros can't walk — they can only hop, similar to how they move in the other games.

this should always be the case in games, and it's a big deal.
It was the same with fludd in super mario sunshine!! (for those who don't remember). When fludd said something, it appeared in a message in one side of the screen, but it didn't stop the gameplay.
edit: oh! first post, now i'm gadering all the attention
they also have hair.

Ok I admit that I didn't pay much attention to this because I was so consumed by Metroid Prime 4 hype. Like that was all I could think about game-wise in the last 48 hours.
But...but...this game. This game is fucking massive. Wowowowowow. I didn't think they could ever top Galaxy but they...did. Nintendo is on fucking fire. Like seriously. I never bought so many games in a Nintendo consoles first year before. Even I only had three games in the Wii's first year (TP, Sports and Prime 3). This is going to be the fifth game for the Switch in 2017 alone.
