Odys-sey is what you get

Time for an upgrade?
Ever since Sony's PS5 adopted it as one of its main release points, we have been quietly hoping for Switch 2 to offer up enhanced versions of 'Switch 1' games.

Anniversary Nintendo Switch Launched On This Day Eight Years Ago
Where does the time go?
It seems an almost impossible notion to consider, but with the Nintendo Switch celebrating its eighth birthday today, it's now merely two years away from being a decade old. A decade.

@123akis mario!!
Please please PLEEEEEEASE be like SM64 and Sunshine. Please.
I thought they said that this game is 2 player co-op, since one player can play as the hat?
This is going to be the best Mario game ever can't wait to play it Nintendo still the best!
@JarJarBlacks it is. It wasn't released until e3 that you could do that but they wrote this before-they have yet to update it.
Ever since I was younger, Super Mario Galaxy has always been my favorite 3D Mario game. And judging by the trailers, I believe that this game could possibly turn out better! What do you guys think?
Wahoooooo
I seriously want this game. Hurry up, October 27th!
@DrewCola You must still be young. Super Mario 64 was the best 3D Mario IMO and Odyssey looks like it will be just as good. Yahhoooo!!
Less than a week. I'm so weak
So my copy arrived yesterday!!! its AMAZING!!!
Downloaded today at 18pm. Played for 7 hours not stopping (now). This game is... get it. Do a favor to yourself and GET IT.
Who else here is getting the Switch and Odyssey?
This game is so much fun! It took me a long time to realise you can play mario music you have discovered on your travels. Once I'd been to 'DKC festival' & heard the version with lyrics I can play it anywhere on my travels got this song on repeat!
I got 700 power moons so far... It is so AWSOME. Just like SUPER MARIO 64

Perfect. Mario strutting his stuff in 3D, 2D, 8bit and HD.
This is the best videogame of the past ten years.
First quarantine video game achievement: All 999 moons! I've never beaten a Mario game fully until now.
This was the first game I played start to finish on the switch and it is my go to game. This is a game almost anyone will love. It is my favorite game on the system.
Favorite game ever made. No exceptions.
I love this game it was my first switch game i ever played and still its my fav. W game
It was fun at first, with all the cool outfits and the concept of Moon Stars, but then the game got far too hard and boring.
