    In case anyone's wondering, the review only uses footage from the opening cinematic and the first three kingdoms. I tried to strike a balance between being thorough and being spoiler-free, so I'm hoping anyone can enjoy it. And if you don't want to see too much of those first kingdoms, just listen to the review without watching and you should be fine.

    What the heck am I doing watching a review of Mario Odyssey two years after it came out and, after I already completed the game on its 100%? I guess I'm nostalgic. The hype for this game and the experience of playing it it's something that I would like to repeat, and the emotion and love that Arlo gives in this video, makes me go back in time. Thanks Blue friend

    I'd have less of a problem with the motion controlls if the controller didn't have 8 STINKIN UNUSED BUTTONS that could easily have the motion control moves mapped to them! A and B both do the same thing. Same with X and Y. L and R ZL and ZR 3 buttons on the d-pad go unused As does pushing in the left joystick. EDIT: I understand that the controls have to be simplistic, but they still can be. Snapshot mode could be remapped to pushing in the right joystick (who honestly uses first person view?) and the up, down, and spinny cap throws could be mapped to the up, down, and left & right d-pad buttons, respectively. I think most people would be able to understand that. And for captured creatures, Y for example could do the dash move, and X could be used for the super fast dash. B could be used for a normal jump for frogs or something, and A for a super jump. You'd be hard pressed for find someone that can't understand a control scheme like that. Or Nintendo could just, ya know, let us remap the controls ourselves.

    I'm pretty sure the thinking was to keep the controls as simple as possible, and while I think it works fine in some cases (flick controller in a direction to do homing attack), having to shake the controller like crazy to do capture moves better and nudging it just right to do the spinning hat move are obnoxious.

    This might just be a personal thing, but I wish they would have used those buttons to work on some of the other commands. It's difficult for me to perform a cap jump dive versus a normal cap dive because the only difference is holding a button as opposed to just pressing it. And with the movement being so quick it's a difficult maneuver and yet I feel like it's so important. Only three buttons are necessary, and I wish it wasn't the case

Or, yeah, context clues and the obvious answer ("both jump rope moons" would also be possible from context, but not if you've actually tried the minigames)

    Fair points, but I felt like the capture mechanic was different from power ups. Power ups are usually all the same, and used in every course, but each of the captures were different and (most) of the captures were unique to one specific kingdom. I also felt like there were _that_ many repetitive power moons, although I haven't 100% the game yet so I haven't seen all of them.

    I remember watching this fresh. I was in 8th grade at the time, the switch and Mario odyessy were so game changing and the excitement and hype around it pervailed myself, my friends, and the youtubers like Arlo that I watched at the time. Here I am now, 4 years later, 2 years into Covid and attending a whole different school in a different town. I miss when this was new, I remember asking my mother for a switch and Mario odyessy for christmas, and this being my real leap back into nintendo WII when I was 6 years old. To any people who find this review for whatever reason it may be, I hope the feelings of nostalgia, when games like this and BOTW were still new also bring a tear to your eye as it has mine.

Moons of that caliber won't even be attempted by the general public.

    I also played exclusively in handheld mode (I only played a small bit of metro kingdom - that tank moon particulary) and I even enjoyed the game more in handheld than on TV, even though I played the final and some other major parts of the story in tabletop because motion controls still a bit of depth to the. Graphics didnt go through some major downgrade and the motion controls? I was able to pull some of them even on handheld! It wasnt easy and they should at least try to make the circle throw easier to do on handheld, but it didnt affect my experience at all. I would like if it was mapped to some button, but I am OK with the way they handled them The game is awesome, everybody should play it!!!

    I think a better thing for replacing motion controls is to use the L button, which is unused. Hold L and press X, bam. Up throw. Hold L and press Y, bam. Down throw. I think that'd be perfect, and make it so I don't accidentally press B or something when trying to jump and die to a Goomba, and rather have to hold L instead.

    Actually, you're right, Yoshi Miner. The main controls section of Odyssey tells you to use ZL, but I've always have used ZR. I think that it should be interchangable. Also, when I said L is unused, I didn't know that it really does is just mirror the R button and reset your camera. I think a better candidate may be the control stick, pressing down on it and then holding up, down, left, or right to do a special throw.

I played this on a switch lite and did feel restricted/felt it difficult to use a lot of moves. I took it down to “the switch lite wasn’t released when this game came out” but what you said about the switch having handheld mode made me realise it’s not a switch lite problem haha!

    Also, I don't use the motion control moves in the game not because I grudgingly do so just to play in handheld, (Which I beaten the game completely ONLY in handheld mode), it's because I have found that 0 moons absolutely require motion controls, even the ones with the extra shake, you can just exit the enemy. It also does nothing to make my movements better, unless I want to get WR on a Koopa Freeruning event or something. The only exception I feel is the Homing Cap throw, which I don't use because I don't usually miss a lot, but I can see that as a problem for others, and could of easily been set to a double tap Y.

    Good review, Arlo. You're a great critic. I got the game for Christmas and I completed it today (December 30). I was fortunate enough to be able to play the game with my sister. Playing 2 players is quite different than playing single player. Cappy can move around independently, and I think it made the game easier.

    Zippy Ragu Nintendo really doesn’t support creators. Many youtube creators literally have to “partner” with them to not receive copyright strikes. I put partner in quotes here as it’s less being a partner and more “Hey there friend! We are gonna send you a free game of any cost and you have to make a video on it wether you like it or not. If you don’t well we are gonna spam your email telling you to”.

    A little late here, but the proposed motion control alternative wouldn’t work. If pushing Y twice would trigger a homing cap throw, then the dive-to-cap-bounce combo would be impossible. Plus, if the spin throw were so easy to perform, it would trivialize most combat encounters. The motion controls are annoying to perform while in handheld mode, but the most important moves are always easy to perform with buttons. I also think the easier-to-perform moves are what make the game more fluid and fun; not the weird cap throws that really all do the same thing, capturing and attaching enemies. All capture-specific motion controls only ask that you shake the controller in a non-specific way, so it’s always easy and comfortable to do, assuming you have the motion control sensitivity option toggled to fit your current gaming situation. I understand the surface level criticism of motion controls for the mere fact that they aren’t always accessible to everybody, but I think objectively, the motion controls do nothing to hamper any aspect of the game in even a small significant way.

    What if the X button was used to throw Cappy upwards and A to throw him downwards (who even uses A and X for standard controls anyway)? I think that this would be the perfect solution for at least those 2 moves. You could even do this in 2 player mode!

    I think that Odyssey is one of the best 3d platformers, and arguably the best mario game, and I'd say that it's at least the best 3d mario, so a sequel that improves the minor issues like the galaxy games... My god I think I'll cry
