Put your tinfoil hats on, does this maybe hint at an upcoming sequel ?
Nothing misleading about it. I got the same email.I have a decent feeling this is a misleading screenshot from a larger automated marketing effort... needs more info
My email from Nintendo about super mario OdysseyI have a decent feeling this is a misleading screenshot from a larger automated marketing effort... needs more info
I don't mean purposefully misleading, I just mean lacking full context (eg. ones being sent / to be sent for other titles)Nothing misleading about it. I got the same email.
The game's a masterpiece as it is. Not every game needs dlc.I’ll never forgive Nintendo for not making proper DLC for Odyssey. It deserved so much more.
There is no way we will get Odyssey 2 after 6 years. (Now before all of you will start typing that we are getting direct sequel to Zelda after 6 years). The fact that EPD Tokyo has not even made DLC for it or anything is pretty telling. Also if they are apparently switching engines why would they do it for direct sequel? Does not make any sense. Miyamoto says Nintendo wants to try expanding 3D Mario in new ways.I swear to god if after six years all we get is odyssey 2 I'll be so annoyed
"all we get"I swear to god if after six years all we get is odyssey 2 I'll be so annoyed
Sorry to be out of the loop, but why would this be a bad thing? Odyssey is my favorite Mario game ever. This might be sacrilege but I would be more excited for Odyssey 2 than Tears of the Kingdom, but that’s just me.I swear to god if after six years all we get is odyssey 2 I'll be so annoyed
I must say, the sentence: "I swear to god if after six years all we get is the sequel to the greatest 3D platformer of all time" is one I certainly cannot understand.I swear to god if after six years all we get is odyssey 2 I'll be so annoyed
My email from Nintendo about super mario Odyssey
I received one as well.
Oh god, imagine if Tears of the Kingdom and Odyssey 2 launched on Switch before a successor was even announced.
There would be even more doom posting!
Honestly I'd rather a Odyssey 2 than see them "reinvent the wheel" again and come back with like 3D World 2 or something like that. Odyssey is the direction I believe 3D Mario should stay going in not needlessly being bogged down with 2D Mario elements, tropes, and nostalgia, and as such I don't have faith they won't try exactly that should they steer away from what they did with Odyssey.
That said, no I don't think this email means anything I think they're just hyping up Mario related things to drive people to watch the upcoming movie. Also Nintendo never emails me and that makes me salty.
The nostalgia based references are fine. I don't want 2D Mario in 3D. If I wanted to play 2D Mario I'd play 2D Mario. 3D Mario should be about exploration, NPCs, story, world-building, and collecting stars or star adjacent doohickeys, not flagpoles.Are we thinking about the same.mario odyssey? Like, sure, it's not a 3d world level of adapting the 2d games, but Mario odyssey is the biggest nostalgia chaser the 3d mario series has ever had to the point of having an entire kingdom complete with a song number that's all about dredging up nostalgia.
hey I'd gladly take a sequel to mario 64 but odyssey 2 would be a bit dull after all this timeI must say, the sentence: "I swear to god if after six years all we get is the sequel to the greatest 3D platformer of all time" is one I certainly cannot understand.
Super Mario Sunshine already came out over 20 years ago, you should play it, it's pretty sweet.hey I'd gladly take a sequel to mario 64
mario 64 2 is actually still on miyamoto's desk, sunshine was a separate projectSuper Mario Sunshine already came out over 20 years ago, you should play it, it's pretty sweet.
They're finally going to release the 64DD worldwide?!mario 64 2 is actually still on miyamoto's desk, sunshine was a separate project
It's less "we don't expect new Mario content" and more "we have no idea what Mario content we'll get."In my mind it would be down right weird if Nintendo doesn't have any kind of Mario release for this year? No only have we been in a lengthy Mario drought on Switch but with a Mario theme park and huge movie coming out, you would think Nintendo would have at LEAST one new Mario game or port at the ready for release this year. It would be like Disney releasing a new blockbuster kids movie and not having any toys ready to sell.
Nintendo is weird but are we really expecting no new Mario content this year?
We're getting new Mario games this year. There's always two or three per year. 3D Mario though..... nah.In my mind it would be down right weird if Nintendo doesn't have any kind of Mario release for this year?

I totally get what you're saying here about 2D Mario elements in 3D Mario games, but I find it funny that Odyssey also had really good 2D Mario sections scattered throughout the levels.The nostalgia based references are fine. I don't want 2D Mario in 3D. If I wanted to play 2D Mario I'd play 2D Mario. 3D Mario should be about exploration, NPCs, story, world-building, and collecting stars or star adjacent doohickeys, not flagpoles.
3D World and Land, are literally just 3D adaptations of 2D Mario with 3D Land being almost soulless, as it relies almost exclusively on 2D Mario tropes and SMB3 Nostalgia. It's quite literally a NSMB game in 3D. I appreciate 3D World for being more unique and having more of its own identity, but that direction is the last direction I want to see 3D Mario head in.
Then why send an email saying "there's more to explore" five and a half years after the game came out?It‘s more likely that the person who wrote the mail dosen‘t know anything about the next Mario game than this being a hint for Odyssey 2.
Marketing? The Mario movie is out in three months and Odyssey is the biggest Mario platformer on the system. This means absolutely nothing.Then why send an email saying "there's more to explore" five and a half years after the game came out?
Because maybe you overlooked something the first time you played the game. There is nothing deeper to it. If anything they will start advertising even more older Switch games in this throwback way which could in the best case mean that Switch really is at its end of life and Drake around the corner.Then why send an email saying "there's more to explore" five and a half years after the game came out?
