But the game still tells you where to go so you shouldn't be getting lost. You can also see all but, like, three of the Sheikah Towers from the one on the Great Plateau so you should be fine there as well.

Nevertheless, Odyssey really looks promising. This is definitely the next big project that Switch needs in order to prolong its success (since the catalogue is still unfortunately scarce).

There are 466 games on the Switch. How many does it need before it stops being scarce?

Not a lot of those titles are AAA is the problem. A console can't survive on short arcade games alone.

[up] I miss when games were majorly middle-tier and didn't have to be constantly AAA...

Oh god. The console is selling on par with the Wii, has numerous big games coming out for it, and has numerous really great games already out for it and we're on this shit again.

Need I say again...? I've read up on King Boo's Dark Moon Complete Monster entry just recently, and now I have no idea how to reconcile that with his more lighthearted normal-boo-with-crown appearances.

Maybe I shouldn't take things so seriously?

Famitsu gives Odyssey a 10/10/9/10 or 39/40.

Nintendo is getting cheap. Must not be feeling confident. Into the trash bin my Switch goes.

39/40 is not good enough! Must be a 41/40 for me to even consider thinking about the game! You've really done it this time, Nintendo! You're Nintendoomed!

I have watched all Mario-related Let's Plays from The Gaming Brothers (mostly the SMB games for the NES). Makes me want to play them in the 3DS by downloading them in the VC, but sadly I won't be able to since my NNID is from Venezuela and the eShop is not available there. Even here in the US, whenever I enter the feature, almost nothing is available for me. At least the Switch is now region-free, but since it has no VC it serves no purpose for me anymore. sad

Oh well, back on topic. Any news on whether or not Luigi is in Odyssey?

Got a funny story from when i was a kid that's Mario-related. I was really into Mario (still am), especially Mario Party 3, which featured multiple Baby Bowsers alongside Bowser at times. I loved to get my dad to tell me stories, and I knew he liked Star Trek a lot. Since Voyager was airing at the time I decided the best route would be to combine the two, so Bowser flew around in a starship antagonizing the Voyager crew along with 2 Baby Bowsers, who i decided were his nephews since the Koopalings were his kids. (They called him Uncle Bowser and everything.)

Luckily he was a pretty harmless villain and could usually be bribed with chicken, except one time when Harry Kim's football got beamed over by accident and he decided he like the taste of footballs better. So from then on Bowser went on harassing the Voyager crew for footballs, one time even interrupting a game on some planet to get one. Even now, when I think of football I think of Star Trek and Bowser.

I love the video of the guy who was doing a speedrun in Japanese but because he couldn't read the text, he baked Gourmet Guy's cake with soap and lost a half hour as a result.

Video: https://go.twitch.tv/videos/42112092

It later became a copypasta meme. https://www.google.com/search?q=the+soap+cake+paper+mario

I always make a cake entirely out of soap when I get to that part.

For the record, speedrunners now completely skip that— and most other— Peach segment.

Shame the cake is not programmed to turn into a foamy mess when using the detergent.

It would have been a nice touch if using detergent as the frosting at least made it green instead of white, but I get that they just wanted regular sprites.

To me, the funniest part isn't that you can feed Gourmet Guy detergent, nor is it his reaction. It's the fact that Nintendo put dish detergent in the kitchen for literally no reason except to try and poison him.
