Great to see SMO almost make the top ten most watched titles on Twitch, you never see console games come close to the top ten.
My son and I will be starting our own SMO stream on Twitch after lunch with a giveaway of SMO!

Well worth it in my opinion so far. Only played the first couple of worlds but the level design and mechanics are amazing as expected for a Mario game.

I'm only in Tostarena, but by golly, is Odyssey amazing! It may be too early to tell, but it may surpass Galaxy as my favourite game of all time, which is a crazy thing for me to say.
This is definitely the game we’ve been waiting for since Galaxy 2. 3D Land & World were fun but they felt a bit sterile. They seemed to try and adopt things from the NSMB games to make them sell better. So glad they changed course for Odyssey.

I agree. The 7 year wait was long, but oh so worth it!

Since this thread started in part due to it, Kotaku’s Jason Schreier wrote about Viceral’s cancelled Star Wars game, codenamed “Ragtag”.

super mario odyssey is very fun so far. I can see it becoming one of my top portable games. It's like the new super mario 64 ds, a fun portable mario 3d platformer that you can play time and time again and still have fun with it.
At least there were still some serviceable games during that time period.
Unlike Metroid...

for any five night's at freddy's fans that might be here, scottgames just updated. It doesn't seem too special yet, but it does have an 8 bit freddy so it might mean something.

Why am I not surprised?
The Nintendo financial briefing went pretty well.

My question is why are there 3 million units sold that didn't purchase Zelda? One of the best games of all time.

More Battlefront II loot box/game progression system changes due to negative feedback:

Good. Now go further and get rid of loot boxes completely.

I’d say I’m gonna boycott until they do but I’d just be lying. Star Wars is my achilles.
And they know that which is why they put it in. They know the game will sell amazingly on the Star Wars name alone but that’s not enough for them. This is the same company that gloats about making $800 million a year on FIFA alone after all.
