The Super Mario Odyssey Trailer Was Just Released And It Looks Pretty Sweet (Oh Yeah And You Can Be A T-Rex In The Game)

I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t too excited about Super Mario Odyssey when it was announced along with the Switch last year. I figured if I was going to buy a open world sandbox type of game, I’d rather be killing people and banging hookers in whatever city is up next for Grand Theft Auto. But that was before I realized that a new GTA is probably years away and Nintendo usually puts in a ton of love and resources into their Mario game. And that was DEFINITELY before I could become a motherfucking T-Rex in Super Mario Odyssey. I didn’t know what exactly the flying hat deal was going to be, but I thought it would be lame since Nintendo also skews on the childish side with their games. Instead it turns out this hat basically gives you the powers of Shang Tsung or Mystique or Kirby on steroids. Now we can become a Goomba or a Hammer Brother or Bullet Bill while riding on our enemies. The fire flower looks so basic now it makes me sick. Even the Tanooki Suit, which was the GOAT before this trailer came out, looks like peasant shit compared to the king of the dinosaurs.

Oh yeah, one last plea to Nintendo. Give us Giant World like level 4 in Mario 3. I don’t care if it’s in the game or downloadable content. I need Giant World back in my life. Maybe because I wouldn’t seem so goddamn huge if I was in Giant World. But whatever the reason is, I demand it come back sooner rather than later.

And as much as I liked the Super Mario Odyssey trailer I was creeped out by the Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle video. It may be because I am old, but I don’t have a fucking clue what Rabbids are other than creatures that look like a methed out Macaulay Culkin. But if this game is good, I’ll be happy because I need more games released for my Switch ASAP.
