They basically pulled a Yookah-Laylee out of thin air and spoiled every last thing about the game. It littered YouTube, spoiling every last world. At E3, at every single Nintendo Treehouse Live event, everywhere. I absolutely despise the fact that so much footage of this game was shown. Now before I go on any further, I need to bring something up.
I’ve mentioned before that Super Mario Sunshine and the Galaxy series never worked for me, but this game felt like the Mario games I remember. I threw all my luggage on the floor because who cares about that and ran upstairs and slammed the cartridge into… oh wait, my Switch is back downstairs in my backpack from bringing it on vacation. Waiting for me in my house, same and sound! Thanks Mr.
Which boxes were they? Well, perhaps it was all the Buddha statues we saw in Thailand, but a power higher than myself made everything right with the world.
Luckily, someone screwed up and let two boxes slip through. A game of which I’d been looking forward to since I finished Super Mario 64 back in 1997, ~20 years ago.īut then I get home after 20+ hours in the sky to find that everything in the world has righted itself! I had put through a USPS “Hold Mail” request, and thus would have to wait until the next day when they delivered the accumulated mail to play Odyssey. And then I did the unthinkable: I ignored the game completely for 4 damn days. Since I dare not go on social media or do any sort of research whatsoever when a game of this scale launches for fear of spoiling or in any way impacting my own personal hype, I avoided Twitter like the plague, and I don’t have a Facebook. MMOs, sure, Internet cafes with people playing World of Warcraft, perhaps, but not a single video game store, or even a media store, for hundreds of miles in all directions. I swear, Thailand doesn’t have video games. Still though, I did not get to see one iota, not one mere mention of Mario during or after launch day. Our original honeymoon plans were going to put me in Japan for the Super Mario Odyssey launch, where our favorite Italian plumber enjoys fame and fortune, but despite my best efforts to steer my honeymoon to a more Mario-friendly destination, we enjoyed up going further south to Thailand. Evidently, Mario is not popular in Thailand.
