Its a huge game and can sometimes be overwhelming..mario might be a nice break in between big zelda sessions. It looks like a must have now the reviews are coming in.

Fast track to GOTY looks like.

It's kind of crazy how Nintendo can have the two highest rated games of the year.
At least they will get UPS as a carrier. AMZ shipped mine Post office. I'm truly afraid of my switch and game get damage.

Gamestop has pretty good packaging. At least with CEs. They use right size boxes and pack it nice and tight so it doesn't fly around during shipment. So, I should be good.

when does this unlock for those who have it pre-loaded in the US? Midnight EST?
Guys, if you bought the game from the Japanese eShop the game is already playable. Go now!
Decisions, decisions!! I wanted physical for this but I love digital convenience.
That's Mario & Zelda for you, two of only three franchises in the industry that can be considered god tier (third being GTA).
Would have went with GS or BB but I had prime and more then enough credit to cover the Odyssey bundle.

Do we know how many Moons in total there are yet?

I wrote the review for Gamer.nl, its a Dutch review though.
I gave it a 9,5. This is pure packaged pleasure. Hundreds of puzzles and platform sections. Controls are perfect. So much fun.
Only (small) setback: some smaller levels don't have as much to do as the bigger ones and after a while you start to see the way you get Power Moons is pretty much the same in each level, although of course the challenges accompanying it are different each times. They're very small problems though, compared to the pure fun that this game is.

You forgot Metroid. But you're forgiven, since even Nintendo seemed to have for the most part until more recently.

Sadly Jim doesnt do reviews anymore to bring the MC down and bring outrage 
They really mastered the craft of making games, and making them fun and unique
Here's my Portuguese review:
https://jogos.zwame.pt/review/super-mario-odyssey/
"More than a mish mash of elements to scratch a nostalgia itch, Mario Odyssey lives by its own merits, beautifully intertwining platforming and exploration to build something new and fantastic over the foundations that were already there.
A very fun odyssey that never stops surprising and putting a smile on your face, Super Mario Odyssey is the sublime culmination of everything Mario has done from its first steps in 3D to now."
10/10

He said to me he'll be doing Jimpressions for Nintendo games now if you want his opinion. Obviously he doesn't have an advanced copy so it'll probably go up tomorrow.

Have the game since tuesday with ~8 hours playtime since then, and only found 100 moons so far...

Can someone create a quick how to for people wanting to purchase from the Japanese store?
I'm the same and have around 150. I have no idea how and where 600+ other moons are going to come from. This game must have an insane amount of post game content.

Reminds me that I should probably charge up the battery in my Switch!
Played for one hour, got about 12 moons. Easily one of the best tutorial/introduction phases in a game. It looks, plays, and sounds like an absolute dream. If the pace keeps up, this and BotW will be classic Nintendo GOAT material not seen for many, many years.
The parallels to the first time I played Mario 64 as a completely stunned eleven-year-old living in Tokyo are uncanny. This is the real deal people.

Plenty of post-game only moons (200+) and some new content. Given there are 836 unique moons, the post-game is also largely made up of the optional content in the main game.
Do certain actions REQUIRE motion control. I'm playing with a pro controller and I'm unable to complete certain actions without flinging my controller about like a lemon. Anyone got any advice? Specifically throwing your hat around your body, and the homing hat to change direction.
Many thanks in advance!

As far as I can tell as well, both moves in particular require motion control. It works well so far for me but yeah I wish there was an alternative.
You can throw the hat around your body by spinning the joystick first, like doing a spin jump.

Wait, EAD Tokyo didn't develop Odyssey? Or was there a team shake-up or something?
What the heck are they doing if not?
