Gah, I'm mad that I forgot to mention one of my favorite bits! The dream Mario I've had in my head for years now has always been called "Super Mario Adventure." This game doesn't match it exactly, as I like to dream about visiting towns with NPC's and getting items and new abilities and all that, but the fact that we're now getting a game called "Odyssey" is awesome. The word means basically the same thing.

To answer a common question, I do mean Pikmin 3, not 4. Pikmin 3 is one of the games "of the last six years" I've been really excited about. 4 will likely join the list once we get an official trailer.

[@zucchini_flowers]

I was looking for this thanks

[@StacheBros]

It's actually kinda fascinating to consider that the Wii's lack of a second analog stick was a contributing factor for why the Galaxy game's were more linear. I'm totally in the same boat with wanting the levels to be hidden like how they were in 64 and Sunshine. There was nothing more satisfying than finding a new level by accident. Moving forward, I refuse to watch any additional trailers. I want this experience to be as spoiler free as possible. I get why they showed off so many worlds already, but part of me wants to go into Odyssey with no clue what to expect, because that's exactly how things were when I first played 64 and Sunshine almost two decades ago.

[@ArloStuff]

I think I'm going to go spoiler-free on this one too! Every time I accidentally GLANCE at a Breath of the Wild trailer something awesome gets spoiled, so I don't want to see all the wacky stuff in Odyssey before I can even play it.

[@wariolandgoldpiramid]

Arlo, are you going to watch GameXPlain's analysis?

[@StacheBros]

Arlo Yeah I stopped watching the Zelda stuff too. I'm kinda boycotting trailers in general now (aside from the initial reveals). Regardless what you think of Color Splash, I was actually pretty mad how much the trailers spoiled. Some content did end up being a surprise to me, but geez, they were showing off end game footage in those things. I get the point of showcasing versatility, and unique gameplay, but still they need to draw the line somewhere. Most modern trailers are way to spoiler-heavy. The same issue is happening with movies.

[@griffithdidnothingwrong8779]

StacheBros you must have strength because I can't handle something like that lol

[@StacheBros]

What? Do you mean you can't avoid the temptation of watching trailers? While it is tempting to indulge in all the material that's out there for an unreleased product, I ultimately know I'll enjoy the released content more if its unspoiled. So to me, it doesn't take that much strength to be honest. I'm just doing myself a favor.

Generic Username swing your profile picture I thought I had a crack on my phone

[@jarrodchlapowski1372]

I'm pretty excited about this one as it seems like a bit of an homage to the original Super Mario Land games, particularly the first two. Hear me out - 3D World had a lot of Super Mario 2 in it: four playable characters with the same abilities as before, angels, pulling up veggies with Captain Toad; 3D Land referenced Mario 3, mostly through tanooki leaves and air ships; and NSMB Wii U took elements from Mario World with its cape mechanic, koopalings, and interconnected world map. With Oddyssey, we have desert sphinxes and a world- traveling (space)ship from the first Mario Land, and "zones" that look straight from Mario Land 2 such as a giant Tree (Tree Zone) and an area full of giant food (Macro Zone). I'd be on the lookout at E3 for even more references, such as a mechanical area, a level inside of a whale, a ghost area, and maybe a space zone. Man, how cool would it be to find Tatanga as a boss of the space zone?

[@niespeludo]

Jarrod Chlapowski you might be on to something. They might even include it somewhere. Super Mario Land 2 is the most underrated (by the people who never played it) Mario game ever. It's still to this day one of the most interesting and creative Mario games ever. Technically very advanced for the hardware it was on as well.

[@LithningWolf]

You kind of called the space area, nice one

Right now I'm working my way into getting into Jacobs School of Music which basically is a really good music school. My audition for the school has been creeping up on me and the expectations are only getting higher and higher. But your videos have helped me relax. It's nice remembering the times I could just sit there and play video games for hours and you help me recapture that and reinvent that with your content.

[@TheMrMister]

While having a world map is technically the easier way of moving between levels, we can't actually say that it's superior. A hub world where the levels are hidden and spead apart can actually be thought of as a level itself. But, the level is more taylored to exploration and problem solving than the other levels which will always have a main goal or objective. Hub worlds are often dynamic, growing and changing as the character progresses, keeping the spirit of exploration alive to the very end of the game. A world map and a hub world are not comparable because they taylor to two different types of players, those who prefer a linear and more direct experience and those who prefer a longer and more personalized experience. For Odyssey, it appears that they are focusing on the latter. One thing that they might even be doing is having multiple hub worlds that can be accessed by the airship with levels themed to the area. Anyway, I too am hopeful for a Mario experience closer to 3D World and Sunshine.

[@citrusnx8283]

i'm from the future and Super Mario Odyssey is as awesome as we though it would be. For real though, this is a great video and it's interesting seeing how we thought at that time. The Cap would later end up getting the Capture Ability (which no one saw coming), we didn't get a hud world but instead a world map with some interactions between the Kingdoms and the game was released in October and not November.

I'm more in the other camp, I like Mario games to be more linear with stages that have secrets, alternate routes, or warp zones. Mario 64 was good when it came out but I'm not nostalgic for it or the N64 in general. I grew up with the NES and my favorite was always "Doki Doki Panic" Super Mario 2. That's a format that I've been dying for them to revisit for ages. I really enjoyed Super Mario 3D World and loved how it touched on a lot of nuances from Mario 2. I mean I really am looking forward to Odyssey but I hope they do another 3D World too.

Master RBG it seems like the switch is literally shifting away from linear games in general, like with all of their titles I feel as if they won't be linear in any way shape or form

[@tadstrange1465]

I like both.

[@jasonjasonjasonjasonjason]

Every time I watch Mario in the rain, I seriously get chills man.......

[@kevandre]

Yo man I had kind of lost faith in the last several years. Everywhere I looked, people seemed to prefer linear Mario and I really just didn't understand it at all. Maybe you had to be just the right age when Mario 64 came out to realize it was the best one or... or something. I am really just not sure. But my endless amount of stoke for this one is palpable.

[@eldandy1450]

Kevin Thompson when you mastered super mario world and then take mario 64 you feel it is boring and pointless, the only people who likes mario 64 style is the people who was born between 1990-1997 or people who never touch the snes before mario64

[@GmanSir]

Or, you were a kid when Mario 64 came out, and think that it's the best from just nostalgia

[@HarryBalzak]

What? I grew up playing NES and SNES. Mario 64 is the best Mario ever made, and I absolutely love Super Mario World(SNES).

[@TaskMaster5]

I feel the biggest problem with open world games in general is it becomes less and less cohesive the bigger and bigger you try to make them. It forces players to make their own objectives. It isn't a bad thing in itself but it really can make players lose focus. I enjoy GTA but I've only ever actually beaten GTA Vice City because it's too easy to get distracted and not care about the game itself while you dick around. Mario games in an open world setting though has always felt a bit weird. 64 is one of those games I do remember loving as a kid but I struggle to enjoy it today. Controls are kinda sloppy and level designs can be super frustrating at times. But the game isn't even 'open world'. If you're at a hub world and are going into portals to go to different levels...it isn't open world. It's just a non-linear experience. Mario 64 also isn't nearly as grand in scale as many try to make it out to be. It had a decent variety of locations but it padded the game experience by making you revisit the same exact level almost a dozen times each to get the stars.The game felt more like a grind than an actual adventure... Which is what the linear games tend to accomplish more successfully. Linear games also allow for a more consistent experience each and every time. Enemy placement is easier and more complex a lot of the time, item distribution is thought out, bosses tend to be more interesting and less annoying if you're not 'geared up' proper (Doesn't happen much in Mario, obviously but is a common open world problem in other games). Like...enemy placements in 64 and Sunshine felt really uninspired. You rarely had to engage with anything, which made the game feel way too easy and the stakes way too low.

[@someguy9284]

I think the Galaxy games are the best but I generally prefer open-ended Mario over linear Mario.

[@steinthor]

Nothing hit home closer than your statement of "the older I get the less often companies reveal games that I'm just like 'I NEED THAT'". We share the same outlook for this. It's nice to feel giddy about a game again. Thanks for articulating this feeling Arlo!

[@TheChiptide]

From what we've seen, this game really reminds me of banjo kazooie. You've got moons instead of stars that you collect without leaving the level each time, big sandbox style levels, and a crap ton of different moves that you can do. Will this be the banjo threeie we've always dreamed of?

I played the early demo for it and it's just purely amazing. You can't get enough trust me. It's amazing.

[@suppacoo7268]

[@Ian64]

as a game designer, I can tell you that open games are way more easy to make then linear ones

[@magnus87]

I want a Super 3D Mario allstars using SMO engine

[@Diego13303]

I'm saying it gets: - Super Mario 64 DS - Super Mario Sunshine - Super Mario Galaxy 2

[@CatholicismRules]

I want to see a Super Mario Sunshine level, maybe the hub world Delfino Plaza. The boss could be Bowser Jr. with his paintbrush, or maybe Petey Piranha. How about a level from Super Mario 64 as well? I'm not sure which one, though... Just thought of this while making this comment. A Paper Mario: TTYD level made to look more 3D but there could be special things to do or special mushrooms in that world which would allow you to act more like paper, or maybe the battling system in that world could be turn based? Make the boss Hooktail! Mario lost his hat this level and got Koops in place of it. So Mario would get Goombella and Koops to help him through the level! Goombella could guide him through the level like Marie and Callie guided Inkling, and Koops would act as Mario's hat would normally in this game! All the while Goombella and Koops could be making references to TTYD. Here's one that I know will get a lot of love: a Mario level set in the Breath of the Wild. The boss could be Stone Talus or that laser zappy thing depending on how you play the miniature story line for that level. Maybe one of the first 5 enemies Mario would fight from that world would drop a sword and if you take that sword then you fight the laser dude and if you don't you fight Stone Talus. Give me some love people! *_FEED ME LIKES!!!_*

[@vaiyt]

Two games is not "what the series used to be" just because you grew up on it. From my point of view of someone raised on SMB3, the period between 64 and Galaxy 2/3D Land was a looooong wait for the kind of 3D Mario game I actually dreamed of back in the day.

[@arturocastroverde3349]

I agree with the Galaxy Games, those 2 titles wiped the floor with the other 3D marios, and linear is not a limit for those 2. In the case of 3d land and 3d world eh.....i agree with Arlo. They are fun but imo they are a step back! 64, Galaxy and the others felt like an adventure! Those 2 felt like 3d mario in 2d mario mode.

[@cameronlandes4930]

Love your Chanel Arlo!!! I enjoy watching your videos drinking my morning cup of coffee

[@sunpi]

THE GAME IS UNREAL

[@tadstrange1465]

ENGINE 4

[@kjy05]

Oh, it's you...

[@Zonjo-]

Whats interesting to me is that it seems almost like a mix of multiple 3D mario games. Like in sunshine with F.L.U.D.D (which i'm personally hoping will be in this game if only for a level) the hat gives new platforming opportunities. The hub world idea from both sunshine and 64. The super varied levels from games like Mario Galaxy. Im really excited for it but I was kind of hoping for a more cohesive world like in sunshine where all the levels besides the secret ones felt like part of the same world and story

[@ArloStuff]

Yeah, it does kind of seem like a crazy mishmash, doesn't it?

[@budthecyborg4575]

I think this has hints of Banjo Kazooie in it. Nintendo always had "theme" worlds, but they were pretty broad and vague themes. Now it looks like they're finally getting more specific with those themes. Environmental themes are being given more significance in gameplay, you bounce off the hood of a car and swing on a lamp in New York, and then you jump off an umbrella in the desert world. The incredibly fast lion mount in Egypt also sounds more like a Banjo Kazooie type transformation than anything we've seen in a Mario game before. Lets hope they also go as far as mixing characters and abilities between environments like Banjo did. I guess ultimately those concepts are more rooted in Metroid game design, but it would be great to make players think of applying everything they have in their toolbox across the whole breadth of the game.

[@neilburgin8893]

This is the first I've even heard of this. I am way out of the loop... But yeah, this looks awesome.

[@TheKafairy]

4:48 just discovered you can turn bullet bills around with cat bell power up - this game is incredible!

[@duhmez]

I think nonlinear would actually be easier, I will explain why. You create a stage, all the graphics and style, then, if it is linear it is only used once then discarded. But in nonlinear you crrete a huge stage, then have a bunch of mission where you go back in and reuse all te assets over and over. I mean, how hard is it to design for examole, collect all 8 red coins in a stage and call it a quets? Reuse levels alot! With linear, they must create many more stages all unique.

[@personator]

So one day I went to Taco Bell. I went into the bathroom, but I fell in the toilet. Then I got teleported to a weird lava castle place with crap monsters.

[@AVdE10000]

I wouldn't classify the Galaxy games as "full" linear; they're kinda in between 64 and 3D world, mostly linear but with a few bonus stars hidden in most levels. They're my favorite becasue they balance the platforming challenges with a bit of exploration to keep things fresh. 3D world didn't do that at all, and I really didn't like it for that reason. 64 was too open ended for me, but I'd gladly take it over the Wii U game.

[@GameLibrarianWithABear]

Yeah, I never thought that Mario Galaxy was too linear. Just a few of the smaller levels and the fact that there was a really small hub-world. Levels like the Beach Bowl and Honey Hive Galaxies are certainly non-linear in my book.

[@TurtleDragonSilent]

Mario in Disguise you took the words out of my mouth, I just about to post that.

[@ItmeBoeee]

Arlo i really hope you reach one million in the lifespan of your channel. Your videos are fantastic and always get me excited for games.

[@joaopedrolang]

"3D World had mostly familiar designs and themes... old baddies" I disagree completely. Aside from Bowser, everything was new. Hisstocrat and all that

[@wariolandgoldpiramid]

most enemies were old, and boomboom reused

[@joaopedrolang]

Which enemies were old? Among bosses, just Bowser (with a car!) and Boom Boom for mid bosses.

[@Nedoxu]

yeah compare 3D world to Sunshine, which had almost ALL original enemies. The only reused enemy I can think of is Petey Piranha. Even the turtle enemies in the game were not koopas.

[@wariolandgoldpiramid]

[@elliotmarston7190]

I am watching this video right now just to make me even more hyped for the game!!! By the way, you are a fantastic channel Arlo and I pretty much bought a switch because of you.

[@SkaterWookieeOfficial]

Wow this is the best and most creative thing i've seen on youtube in a long time! Dude Arlo, youre the man.

[@4400seriesFAN]

Arlo, I am a weird hybrid. I adore Mario Galaxy to the point of sddiction yet I hate the 3D Land/World games with all my guts. SM64 is great but not as amazing as SMG and Sunshine was meh. Yes, we people exist, too!

[@4400seriesFAN]

As for the image Nintendo released, I think it is wrong. SM Galaxy has plenty of exploration. There are many big planets and they are even bigger than SM64's. And as for the smaller ones, SM64 had stages like the clock, Bowser's castles, the underwater stages, the stages in where you fly, etc.... So I would put the Galaxy games down with the SM64 and Sunshine.

[@s1lv3rkn1ghto5]

4400seriesFAN YOU READ MY MIND DUDE!!!! SMG IS THE BEST!!!!

[@dittom3426]

This is me lol.

[@KoopaKaper]

ME TOO

[@nathanielwash940]

4400seriesFAN yea galaxy is the best to me and 3D land and world felt generic and boring

[@deatsbybre7162]

The game looks perfect. The only possible thing that could ruin it would be to inject it with Rosalina.

[@yooka3505]

grant I hope they don't shoehorn her in somehow.

[@deatsbybre7162]

Yooka- I know right?

[@yooka3505]

grant It's like they feel the need to put her in anything Mario related

[@deatsbybre7162]

Yooka- It's because they want to cash in on the Hentai appeal for the loser fanboys who will never get into a relationship because they're too busy being delusional and fantasizing about their "waifus". I mean seriously that fad is so stupid and people need to grow up. Rosalina is a terrible eye candy character with no personality and a very lame uninspired unoriginal backstory who has no business being in any Mario game besides the Galaxy series. But of course they put her in everything because as I said before she's eye candy.

[@yooka3505]

grant Yeah, She's a pretty awful "character". She really does have no business being in anything except Galaxy and maybe the Party and Sports games. Meanwhile, we can't even get Wario to be playable in a Main Series game since Mario 64 DS!(I think)

[@GothicKin]

Super Mario Odyssey and Zelda Breath of the Wild really look like they could be the best games of their franchises, if Nintendo could pull something like that off it would be huuuuuge

[@sayr8843]

Jacopo Barberis Like OOT and Mario 64 on the 64 at the time. It's a trend for good Marios and Zelda games to release simultaneously on a system.

[@GothicKin]

Sayr The Wind Waker and Mario Sunshine as well. And you know what's even funnier? Both the 64 and Gamecube flopped. FUCK

[@GameLibrarianWithABear]

This could be true. If Breath of the Wild receives a wicked high score from gaming sites all around, interest in the system could skyrocket. Who would want to miss a game scoring perfect 10's everywhere?

[@sayr8843]

Jacopo Barberis It's because they didn't have third party support. Also Sunshine and Waker aren't on the same level as OOT and Mario 64 The SNES had a good Mario and Zelda, and it's considered the best Nintendo console of all time by a large margin. Sold 50 mil too.

[@notkjjk]

Yeah, it looks pretty good! I'm excited for it

[@Inksploded]

10:00 it would be disapointing if it was just a world map, oh boy have i got good news for you (6 months later) i dont even feel like the world map is a world map

[@wariolandgoldpiramid]

wasn't expecting to find this sort of comment here. Nice :)

[@mightza3781]

Sonic 06 gets bashed for mixing realism, Mario Odyssey gets praise.

[@sayr8843]

No it doesn't. Sonic 06 is bashed for being a buggy, narratively inconsistent and rushed game. 3D Mario games are never bad, even the worst is ranked highly among critics: 3D World. Odyssey is technically finished according to developers yet the release is far away. There's no way the game is going to disappoint based off this ideology, as they have plenty of time to polish the game and allow people to try it at E3. That's never happened with Nintendo and their games before.

[@metashade4218]

That & at least the realism only takes place in one level in the game according to Nintendo & not the entire game like 06 did, & Odyssey at least still has that cartoonish whimsical Mario charm that the series is known for, unlike Sonic 06 where that game tried to hard to take itself seriously, to the point where the game tried to act more like a Final Fantasy game than a Sonic game & failed at it miserably.

[@MegaKH2fan]

Apatthetic Man Dude, you can do that for anything. Daisy:Important in one game, forced into spin-offs for Nintenturnity, Everyone wants her back. Rosalina:Important in one game, forced into spin-offs, EVERYONE WANTS HER GONE.

[@sayr8843]

Silent Insanity​ Nobody wants Daisy or Rosalina lmao - Daisy was just a damsel in SML. Furthermore, her character is annoying as fuck and the skits are so damn cheesy. The only person who wants her is memory man. I hear people want Waluigi, but I don't get his appeal much either, though he's definitely a much more interesting character than the former I listed.
