It'll give you a game experience like no other, that's for sure!
Super Mario Odyssey
Super Mario Odyssey is the latest Super Mario and boy, is it amazing! The game still sends you on a quest to rescue Princess Peach, this time from Bowser's wedding plans, and as usual, the journey is incredibly long and there are plenty of obstacles in your way. However, Super Mario Odyssey changes things up by giving Mario new moves, namely cap throw, that will greatly enhance the usual run-and-jump gameplay. The game also has a ton of collectibles to... well, collect, secrets to find, and enemies, objects and animals to capture. Coins that you've accumulated can also be exchanged for decorative souvenirs or new outfits for Mario at the Crazy Cap Store.Interestingly, since the game is available on Nintendo's new Nintendo Switch, this means that game is designed to be a 2-player game. The first player will be playing as Mario, while the second will be playing as Mario's heroic cap, Cappy. This is a gameplay that's practically unheard of and is pretty much a revolutionary milestone for the Super Mario series.
If you own a Nintendo Switch, or if you plan on getting one, this is one game you'll want on your device. Grab a friend now and enjoy Mario's brand-new odyssey!
