What do you guys think of the new Mario game & do you think this will become a new series of Mario games? (lemmy.world)

I have a huge Mario gap in my gaming history because I ended up going: nes > Sega Genesis > ps1 > ps2 > ps3/wii > PC gaming (where I am today) there's a lot I missed from Nintendo over the years but I recently played through this game and I personally loved how original and new/fresh it felt. Definitely reminded me of how i felt about Mario 3 on nes when I first played it.

What say you? Did you enjoy it? Want to see this become a new series in the Mario saga?

It was good fun. I enjoyed the whimsical and trippy bits with the flower you could get in each level… and how the game mechanics changed each time.

Whether or not it deserves a series though??? I don’t really think so. These smaller Mario games like Wonder, 3D World, Bowser’s Fury, and New Super Mario Bros U to me are nice little appetizers between bigger 3D open world adventures like Odyssey and Galaxy. More than anything, I’d love love love LOVE to see a sequel of some sort for Odyssey or at least a few DLC worlds. But with Mario Wonder just releasing, and getting a Mario movie, I don’t think we’re going to see another major open world Mario game until the Switch’s successor releases.

I liked Wonder; I liked the movie; but if given the choice, 10 times out of 10 I’d choose even DLC for Odyssey over either of them… Wonder and the Movie were fun. Odyssey was pure joy. It’s been a looooong time since a video game made me unconsciously smile for as long as Odyssey did.

Agreed, I wasn't even that excited for Odyssey (Mario Sunshine and Galaxy 1/2 just didn't really capture me the same way Mario 64 did). But man, was I in for a surprise. Once I started, I literally couldn't think of playing anything else until the very end. It really is a masterpiece in game design for just simply being fun.

So yeah, I'd love for the next Mario game to iterate on what made Odyssey so great. Wonder is fun and it's good, but it isn't close to being Odyssey good.

I'll have to check out Odyssey. What is that for? The Wii? The switch? (Both?)
