- The Nintendo Switch has a lot of games, especially in 2022, but one still reigns supreme for me: Super Mario Odyssey.

I don't know why I just felt like talking about this. lol.
It's a masterpiece, why not?
It's very interesting too.
I agree with you though the best game for sure
Do a poll!
I agree....
I cannot overstate my love for BotW. However what SMO did for me I didn't think possible: I felt like a kid again experiencing gaming's greatest moments for the first time. Both games feel monumental but the joy Odyssey brings is untouchable.
That’s how I felt playing 3D world. The nostalgia made playing so much fun. Fun I haven’t felt playing a game since I was a kid.
100% agree, I got SMO back in 2020 and was able to submerse myself in the game and just forget about the pandemic. I haven't felt so submersed in a game like this since I was a kid. Its not a complicated game or world, its just very fun.
When I got to metro kingdom I felt an amount of joy that I didn’t think I should feel playing a game and I don’t know why
Botw blows tbh I’ve tried getting into it on 3 separate occasions. Story lackluster, combat way too easy (especially bosses ), exploration is void and bland, no epic music (like Skyrim), dungeons (shrines ) are boring and all are similar with little to no reward. Only cool thing about botw is the graphics but everything else lackluster and does not live up to previous Zelda games
its not BotW its Both, its fine, typos always happen!
Definitely agree with you. Odyssey is the best switch game of all time. I’m still hoping for a Mario odyssey 2 🙏🏽
I hope they do bring it out i started playing Mario odyssey in 2019 I’m still going back to it trying to get every moon and outfit and just every thing in the game
Funny how the best two games are the first two that ever came out on the system at launch all those years ago.
@aku cinta Kamu,,,💧 GOAWAY
I think both games are incredibly successful at what they want to convey. Most of us have heard the story about Miyamoto exploring the caves and forests of Japan as a kid and how those experiences shaped his idea of what he wanted Zelda to look and feel like, and you can tell that with BotW, he was finally able to completely nail that original vision…but I think you could easily say the same thing about Super Mario Odyssey, in the sense that it finally perfected Mario in a 3D space, even more so than Super Mario Galaxy did. I dunno man. Very tough choice for me. And when these games were released just a few months apart, I was stunned. 2017 was an unbelievable year for Nintendo fans.
I preferred BOTW in part because it was exactly what I needed at the time I played it. I was not just quarantined, I was quarantined in a foreign country in a profession that allowed for a lot of uninterrupted downtime, and I needed an open world that I could get lost in that felt magical. BOTW filled that hole like a Sheikah heirloom in a shrine pedestal. That being said, my girlfriend, whose only experience with video games used to be Animal Crossing Pocket Camp, became absolutely obsessed with Super Mario Odyssey to the point that she would cancel plans if she was stuck on a power moon. So I've got love for both, and although I personally prefer BOTW, a part of me appreciates Odyssey more because now my girlfriend can't get on my case about getting sucked into a video game.
I beat the main story with about 400 moons. Now my son is 6 years old and he started playing my file and has about 900 moons! The game is still incredible and a lot of fun ❤️
Ur son is a g
So cool you can show him this awesome game.
@@Sinistar1983 Totally! It's been great to go back and get more replay out of these old Switch games too.
I started playing this game in 2019 i got it with my switch and I’m still going back to it got 56 moons to get love this game one of the best of all time on any console in my opinion
can we play it without internet connection? please answer, thanks
Mario Odyssey is by far my favourite game on the Switch. It’s the reason I bought the Switch in the first place! Whenever I think back to the N64 the nostalgia does make me a bit emotional in a good way of course. I get that same nostalgic feeling when thinking back to playing Mario Odyssey for the first time.
I need to replay this. The game was awesome.
There should be a sequel.
Mario Odyssey is one giant love letter to old collectathon games but especially Mario 64. It contains references to all sorts of Nintendo media both retro and new. It's an amazing experience.
Man I love BOTW but I might have to agree with you. I found BOTW to be overwhelming at times and a chore to get through when trying to find secrets. However Mario Odyssey was always fun and a good time trying to find secrets or get to new areas. That feeling you had with Mario 64 was the same I had. Seeing the first Mario 3d game as a kid was magical. Odyssey hit me the same way many times.
I used to watch ur videos like 5 years ago i missed that voice and glad ur still uploadin
I loved this game so much when I played it, it was the reason I wanted a Switch in the first place! Odyssey is still my all time favorite Switch game
PERFECT TIMING! I literally just started playing (and beat) Odyssey this weekend!
I'll break this down in a different way. Mario Odyssey definitely sits at #1 overall for me. The game play is fun and never overly frustrating, the 8 bit sections were a great nod to the past and the creativity was top notch. But a lot of what pushed Odyssey over the top for you Shawn, was the nostalgia factor in my opinion. Recreating feelings you got when playing Mario 64 etc... If we're going that route in determining favorite game on the Switch, I have a handful. But My #1 would have to be Sonic Mania. playing that game on a switch, I can't tell you how many times I actually had the thought, you know? I feel like I'm playing Sonic on a new version of a Game Gear. Plus everything Christian Whitehead did to make that game feel so much like an extension of the first 4 games it pulls from is just incredible. TMNT Shredder's Revenge also gets a huge nod in this category. That game took me right back to Pepi's pizza and arcade as a kid just shoving quarters into that game over and over again... Sonic and TMNT might not be as long as Mario Odyssey, but they left me with just as many memorable moments and lasting appreciation for what we were given by the developers of those games.
100% agree with you. Odyssey was so much fun from gameplay, music and fun factor. The jump up superstar is on my playlist
Came back to playing this game with my son now that he's old enough. The game is almost a masterpiece! Such an amazing game!!
I'm a fairly new Switch owner as I just bought one 4 months ago. The first two games I bought for the system happened to be Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. I bought BOTW when I bought the system and I bought Odyssey a few months later. I thought both were fantastic games. Whichever one you like better largely comes down to which type of game you prefer. For me, it was BOTW that I liked better between the two, but that is just because I prefer adventure games over platformer games. Also, I was done with Odyssey in about 1/10th of the time it took me to beat BOTW. But, I must admit, I have yet to do the post-game stuff in Odyssey whereas in BOTW, I did do all the shrines and side quests before I defeated Ganon.
Your right here I like Odyssey better and that’s just because Zelda was TOO MUCH for me and I had to dedicate too much time to it
Probably the worst way to fight Ganon since you become so overpowered if you do everything before lol but yeah if you really like Zelda combat you should try Dark Souls remastered on switch. I've put in twice the amount of hours on that than I did BOTW
@@steamedyam
Zelda and monster hunter are my favorite game franchises.
dark souls remastered was good but I'm pissed becuase I did everything solo but I didnt know there was a second hydra.
@@steamedyam also Twilight princess let's you get overpowered before you fight ganon too.
Majora was also easy with fierce deity
@@andrebillups4079 exactly how I feel Omg.
Time is your greatest asset
Mario Odyssey arguably has more replay value than any other game on the platform and going for 100% is so satisfying
I've never once felt the need or desire to replay odyssey....it was a disappointing experience which lacked good Mario world design and felt disjointed. Sorely lacked magic and ambition.
Only world I particularly liked was bowsers castle approach
@@micabryant4513 oh boy or you didn't play the game enough or your standards are too high
@@micabryant4513 I didn't know an opinion could be wrong until this comment
There is no challenge in the game why would I replay it?
Zelda botw is my favorite game on switch. So good man. Started loving the game once I got to Sidon and going in the divine beast. Played over 200 hours and even 100% with all the korok seeds and armor fully upgraded + all sidequests finished. No open world game has reached the feeling I had with botw ever since.
BOTW is a Wii U game ported to Switch
I have botw for the wii u. I never tried the switch version
Play Red Dead 2, Witcher 3, Ghost of Tsushima or Assassin's Creed Origins
BOTW? Idk I played for little bit didn’t really like it but can’t complain much sinc was just a spin off.
I didn’t really like botw i don’t know why i feel it’s overrated Mario odyssey is just more run to me
Mario Odyssey was a One and Done game for me. Didn’t like having to shake the joycon/controller and didn’t like the unrewarding moons.
The platforming/movement and all the platforming tricks you can do is so satisfying and excellent 🏆
Breath of the wild was a masterpiece of bridging the three timelines, and there was something you could find around every corner it was korok seeds, beautiful scenery, and the ruins of something in another game everything was an Easter egg.
BotW didnt bridge any timelines. It made a new one and made the old ones more akin to reading The Illiad or Le Morte Darthur.
Super Mario Odyssey was amazing I enjoyed every moment as I got that similar great feeling when I first played Super Mario 64 back in the day.
I can't wait to see what Nintendo does with the next 3D Super Mario game.
Thanks for helping me decide which Mario 🎮 to splurge on with the recent sale going on. I am looking forward to playing it. Unfortunately, I live so remotely my internet is so slow, so it's going to take days to download, I will be anticipating it for a while.
It’s phenomenal but I’d rather have BotW if I washed ashore on a desert island with only one switch game.
*Cringe*
Zelda is my favorite series, but I truly don't know why people talk about BOTW like it's the greatest game ever created.
If you don't mind me asking, what is it specifically about BOTW that makes it so important to you?
@@DanielZeal I won't say it's the most important. But the freedom and activities in the game are way more exciting and fulfilling than anything in Mario odyssey. At least imo.
@aku cinta Kamu,,,💧 GO AWAY STOP
I agree, Odyssey rocks, I wish they'd come out with a part 2.
Every time I see footage of Odyssey I immediately want to play it again and there's no other game that does this
Totally agree. Mario Odyssey felt like Mario 64 on steroids, whereas Breath of the Wild just felt like an entirely different animal. Plus, I didn’t feel any disappointment or annoyances with Odyssey, whereas Breath of the Wild felt annoying and underwhelming at times (especially with the bosses, ending, weapon degradation, lack of dungeons, etc). And I’m a guy that actually likes Zelda games a tad bit more than Mario. In short, I felt like Odyssey stayed true to the series and what mario games are all about, whereas Breath of the Wild just strayed off the path and lost some of it’s Zelda identity.
When I get bored of a switch game, I always go back to Odyssey
Good morning/evening young crowd 🤘💜 I absolutely love Mario Odyssey repurchased it during the recent digital sale. Ending up going through it again and still is my favorite switch game.
I totally agree with all you said. Love both games.
I don't think anyone shoots from the hip in videos better than RGT. I really enjoy these opinion pieces.
metroid dread is actually my favourite switch game. second place i would probably give to mario, although it is very close with BOTW to the point where sometimes i doubt whether i do like it more or not
100% agree. I hate that dread does not get the love it deserves. I could not put dread down.
@@dizzyking7143 How does it not get the love it deserves? Ratings for it are good.
@@AreYouDeadYet Many major gaming media outlets scored dread 8/10 or 4/5 etc. While many scored Botw and Odyssey 10/10 etc. I could also point to the sales numbers, Dread is severely behind Odyssey and Botw when it comes to sales.
@@dizzyking7143 In my opinion thats the score it deserves. Its good but thats it. Not many people are willing to spend a lot on that type of 2d game.
Lol not even better than Ori
I always thought Odyssey was cool and fun but it didn’t compel me to keep coming back for whatever reason the way BotW did. I never finished it despite the joy I had when playing it.
I’ve been watching my daughter playing both lately and we have been playing them together, figuring out puzzles challenges etc. Odyssey definitely has been given renewed life and just watching it unfold has been cool BUT I have also seen her discover areas and temples in BotW that I never found in my 120 hours with the game and that is fantastic as well.
Both are amazing titles and I lean more towards adventures like Zelda over so it is probably still my #1 but I have been reminded what a clever and joyous experience Odyssey is as well.
New Donk City was awesome especially Pauline and it’s brought back the OG Donkey Kong feel.
I'm trash at this game, but I don't get mad when dying in this game. Lol. That's definitely a masterpiece in my book.
@aku cinta Kamu,,,💧 GO AWAY
I loved Mario Odyssey when I first bought my Switch, but never finished it because I got into a few other specific games that I was in love with. This video is really encouraging me to go back to it, though. Had heard great things about BOTW but it was *too* open for me, took too much to find everything and learn what I needed to.
I felt the same about BOTW.i was put off by the menus and controls but I stuck with it and it became my favourite game of all time
I played Breath of the wild once and had over 100 hours in it but Mario Odyssey I have played it twice and probably will go and play it a few more times, the game isn't even that old but Nintendo made it feel so nostalgic and I really really hope they make a second odyssey because God damn I love that game.
I've had the game for over a year and still haven't played it, I'll try to to get to next weekend, thanx for the reminder
i haven't even watched the video yet and i instantly agree, there is so much to do in this game and i cant stop playing
Botw is best. I just can't ever get over how breathtaking the whole expansive world is and how much fun it continues to be to explore.
Mario is a close second though. Love that game too.
The game i had the most fun out of it was Luigi's mansion 3. Incredible fun game , i wish there was a 4 to buy
This is def one of your better videos. Well done 👍🙏
Fe 3 houses is probably my favorite switch game. So much replay value, fun gameplay and great story
I remember, the day when the game came out, I have pre orderd and got it with my Switch super Mario odyssey bundle packed in with the game code for the download, and red joy cons, included as well.
Ok last night was the first time I seen mario O and I do not own a switch but after seeing this Game I will be getting one asap this game looks amazing
Odyssee is a must have and one of my favorites! Can’t understand the hate of so many moons tho. It’s just that you have something to look for after beating the story and some are hard to find. It’s always something with these complains, just love the game for what it is
The main problem is not the amount of moons. The problem is that, not many, but, the MAYORITY of the moons are easy cheap repetitions among every Kingdom, but with small itterations. So the sense of gratification at the beggining of the game slowly becomes a sense of boredom toward the end of the game. Apart from what I said, many of the moons are just laying there floating waiting for you to grab them, no challenge at all. Some moon you just need buy them... literrally, you pay to win!!!
@@BomboFeca Well, if you put it that way I can understand it more. Most of the moons are easy to get, but it doesn’t kill the fun for me tho. I always play back2back with my girlfriend and we switch controllers when one of us found a moon!
At least it's not as bad as Sunshine having reputation. Especially with all the Red Coins again, more obstacle levels ( Though I do like some of them. But the rest like the first one in Sirena Beach & the Chuckster one in Pianta Village can go die in an fire ) or chasing Shadow Mario for the 7th time. And there all mandatory to progress. U can't skip them. And most of them are obnoxious and makes it the most tedious Mario game to complete.
@@jaretco6423 aesthetically, Sunshine is very appealing, colorful, beatiful game. Gameplay wise is also a lot of fun.
Now, there are like only 6 worlds, game is too short. Some Shines are tedious to get, like Ink Mario, and the plataform levels, or like the big sand bird one, or the pinball machine one... The blue coins vary not according to the world youre at, but to the shine level, so its horrible haha
@@BomboFeca I mean. I can agree in terms of the aesthetics, it does look great. Still looks gorgeous to this day.
Gameplay wise though? Not so much. It's an downgrade from Mario 64 IMO. And there's 7 worlds. Not 6.
The visuals alone and Mario Odyssey I've never seen in any video game still to this day
I’m on the fence right now about a switch. I haven’t played an Nintendo game since the 64. I like games where I can explore and do whatever I want in whatever order. I think BOTW and odyssey would be right up my alley but I’m still not sure. Any help would be appreciated
I finally pulled the trigger and got a switch couple of weeks ego. Mario Odyssee is such a joy to play
Botw will probably forever be my favorite game of all time! Mario odyssey was amazing too!
Botw2: you sure about that?
@@Amexy-mr6lw As a long time Zelda fan, I hope BOTW2 is the game I've been waiting for.
@@Amexy-mr6lw Let's hope!!
I got botw i wasn’t really that into it and i put so many hours into it Mario odyssey was just more fun for me
Well I'm convinced! Game looks like exactly what I'm looking for.
I'm glad you like Super Mario Odyssey as your favorite Nintendo Switch game and also how a lot of people like Zelda Breath of the Wild which are both great games!
IMO Metroid Dread is my favorite and best game on the Nintendo switch which I would say holds as the most appreciated game due to having the most drought/history of waiting for a sequel which made the game even more special and worth the wait which other games can't give you that same long lasting feeling or experience!
Odd how I literally was thinking yesterday about getting a Switch and getting into Mario, as I've never even thought about it before. And this video literally came out yesterday
Both are great games but I think The Witcher 3 complete with the Dlc all on the cartridge is my pick. Not only is it a great game but they actually didn't cheap out and they put it all on a big cartridge, something no other companies do with a game that size. Just my thoughts.
Too much dialogue, could never get fully into it. Put 30 hours into it over several years and feel like I'm getting nowhere honestly feels like an assassin Creed clone without the parkour, so much bloat.
@@steamedyam I didn't like it at first either, put it away for a year or so, thought I would give it another shot. Turned out to be one of my favorite games. You can easily put well over 100 hours into it, especially with the dlc. Just have to get past a certain point and it opens up for you to go at it whatever way you want. I thought I was going to hate Red Dead redemption 2 because of chapter 1, I figured the whole game is going to be like that but if I would have given up I wouldn't have found out how great of a game that is. The Witcher 3 just takes a little bit more time before it gives you the reins completely.
@@steamedyam Not enough bing bing wahoo for you lmao
Lmaooooooooo
I agree completely. You're right!
Odyssey is the best platformer ever. Its not even fair how good it is. And yes Odyssey is better than BOTW.
I definitely agree. Odyssey is a damn masterpiece and made me fall back in love with video games. Truly an era defining game. BOTW is a masterpiece too so I can’t be mad at someone who says BOTW is the best Switch game. Both games are 10/10 games
I wholeheartedly agree there RGT 85. Super Mario Odyssey is SO much fun.
You know back in 2017, I honestly thought the same way, I actually voted for Odyssey over botw that the game awards but upon reflection with more time passed, I feel a bit more on the fence about it all. Not because I feel like Mario wasn't as good as I thought, but because I don't think I fully appreciated. What botw brought the table.
Mario Odyssey is in my top 5 . What an amazing game. BOTW was awesome maybe my favorite adult gaming experience but Odyssey is more fun and worth replaying whereas BOTW once was enough . Mario Odyssey gives you that wonderful familiar feeling I had since I held down on the white box for the first time in Mario 3 dropped down went behind the black wall and got the whistle . That’s all we really want
Watching Mario 64 in front of the N64 kiosque at Toys r Us… we will never feel that ever again in our gamer life.
One of my favorite memories as a child.
The Switch didn’t get any of my attention until I saw SMO. Born in 1980 Mario is a nostalgic character for me, always has been and always will be. As soon as I knew SMO existed I got a Switch! Definitely one of my favorite games!
Ill take Zelda BOTW over Mario Odyssey but ill take Odyssey over any other switch game besides BOTW
@aku cinta Kamu,,,💧 GOAWAY NOW
Agree. Odyssey is an easy 10/10 game. The movement is just so smooth and perfect.
My favorite switch games are Luigi's Mansion 3, Mario Odyssey and Super Mario Galaxy! I NEVER get tired of playing these games because they are fun, cute and challenging in their own way ✌🏾😊✌🏾!
Can I ask you do you have to play Luigi’s Mansion 1 or 2 to enjoy part 3 or can I go into 3 without knowing the story?

As someone who firs thad their mind blown by “Legend of Zelda” in 1987 at age 6, I have to say that “BOTW” is the game that MOST captures the original’s feeling. In the original “Legend of Zelda”, you could go anywhere (pretty much) and do anything you had the ability to do. You can even technically take some of the labyrinths out of order! It was open world and “Skyrim” before “Skyrim”!
Totally agree. Though, I have to also agree with RGT’s point about leaving behind traditional dungeon designs. BotW is still my top pick for best Switch game, but I really would like traditional labyrinth style dungeons to make a return in BotW 2.
This would literally be my comment word-for-word. I was 5 when the original LoZ for NES released and my older brother picked it up. And yes, no other entry in the series quite captured that sandbox freedom of the original like BoTw did. Many kept saying this is "new" Zelda, but this was them going back to their roots as Aonuma-san stated when they gave us that first unveiling back in 2014.
My question is ! Is there going to be a part 2 of Mario Odyssey? What are they waiting for?
@aku cinta Kamu,,,💧 NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU
Maybe not a part 2 but their next game is for sure gonna take inspiration from bowser's fury and mario odyssey
When are we getting a switch "hardware pushers" episode? ;)
Legit this would be top of the list.
@aku cinta Kamu,,,💧 GOAWAY
I had so much fun with Mario!!
My sons were 1 and 2 when Odyssey was released. I loved the game while my newborns were keeping me awake and I learned to be a father.
Fast forward to 2020 AMD's they beat their first Mario worlds on NES. My sons are now 6 and 7 years old and started on Odyssey 3 months ago. A few days ago they beat Odyssey!
This weekend they both started new saves... #FansForLife Odyssey IS the Mario 64 of the new generation.
BOTW peaked my interest in getting a Switch. I saw all the reviews that it was the best game in the series for some people (a statement I agree with) but at the time I had no intention of getting a whole new system for one game. But then I saw SMO's gameplay, and everything changed. THAT was the game I needed to buy a Switch for. I ended up getting both around the same time, and while I love BOTW, I absolutely adore SMO. It's a perfect mix of nostalgia and game-changing mechanics that brought me back to my childhood while also making me excited for the future of the franchise. Between the two games, Mario and Cappy win.
That being said, my favorite Switch game is ACNH. Damn you Nintendo for stopping support after less than two years while also continuing to bring me back after 700 hours of gameplay.
After watching this I feel ashamed that I’ve only played like the first hour of Super Mario Odyssey. Really enjoyed it.Just caught up with too many games. But I will get back to it
I agree with you 100 i didnt like breath of the wild between the weapons breaking and link running out of breath found it to be difficlut. This game put a smile on face i wish nintendo would do more mario games, Also I wish this game was longer
I agree . I’m playing this right now. I still can’t find all the moons. I must catch them all like Pokémon. Lol wish me luck.
@aku cinta Kamu,,,💧 GO AWAY SPAMMER
They are both phenomenal games. But I’ve put over 500 hours into Breath of the Wild because there is so much to find and explore, and I still haven’t even found all the shrines, korok seeds or DLC stuff. (Though I did get the motorcycle and that is badass.) if I was on a deserted island and could only bring one game, it would have to be BOTW because of the endless possibilities… ways you can manipulate the physics, exploits, how many hidden items there are, and just the feeling of getting lost in a sprawling open world just feels so good, even therapeutic. But Odyssey is an amazing game, no doubt. I just think I’d run out of things to do in it before I did BOTW.
Yep, you nailed it. BoTW really is endlessly replayable in terms of sheer content and the way it invites innovation from players. If I had to choose just one game to be stranded with, I have to admit it'd be a toss up between Skyrim and BoTW, with the latter probably winning out in the end. Odyssey, for as great as it is (and it is great), wouldn't even make a list of top ten choices in that particular scenario. It's a lot of fun, just with less variety and replayability.
You make some compelling arguments, and I LOVE Mario Odyssey, but BOTW is arguably my all time favorite game, so there’s no changing my mind on this one😂
Is Odyssey the best Mario game overall?
Arceus and Mario Rabids have the most hours played on my switch. Idk just got hooked.
Me remembering the sm64 Mario costume they added and how when Mario sleeps he says mama Mia and ravioli
Odyssey made me feel things I had given up on ever feeling again
I cannot overstate the magic of this game to me
One of the most Underrated titles is Luigi’s Mansion 3. That was a pretty cool game.
Lmao sure
@@The_Ostrich lol XD it was a solid game
While I love Super Mario Odyssey through its beautiful visuals and great platforming it's really not that challenging, I prefer Super Mario Galaxy as it's a little more challenging plus I love the overall tone of it, I've been playing Super Mario Galaxy a lot recently and am hoping for the 2nd one to come to the Switch, as it took everything great about the original and made it much more engaging with it's platforming and playing with Yoshi which was super fun.
@aku cinta Kamu,,,💧 GO AWAY AND LEAVE HIM ALONE
To me, Galaxy was superior to its sequel. Sequel was great, but basically glorified dlc with less charm.
@@undergroundhiphopfan6335 Galaxy 2 holds a special place in my heart, but I must admit that I see the game as an excellent Mario game, but 75% of an excellent Mario Galaxy game.
What about Darker Side
@@Virang807 Oh yes that level was pretty challenging but the rest were pretty easy.
I didn’t get a switch til the oled came out. So I haven’t played zelda botw or Mario odyssey yet. I got them both on sale. I just gotta get on it.
I feel the same way honestly. I remember playing and beating Mario Odyssey more so than Breath of the Wild
I think a lot of it comes down to personal preference. That said, I think an objective argument might be possible that BoTW is the better game just in terms of sheer content and variety in what the player can do. The world feels absolutely huge, and years later, much like in Skyrim, players are still discovering new secrets, ways to play, etc. The physics system combined with all the different elemental attacks combine to give players a lot of freedom in how they approach combat, how they traverse the world, etc. It also feels like it has more breadth in terms of intensity levels than Mario. What I mean is that you can completely chill, explore, gather resources, and avoid combat if you want, and you can do that for hundreds of hours. Or you can focus on finding and perfecting new ways to fight enemies. Or any mix of those things. With Mario, sure, you have the moons to find, but I feel forced into combat a bit more, and thus find it to be a bit less "chill" than what I usually want when I'm going for a more relaxed gaming session.
That said, I am not your typical Mario/Zelda fan. I loved Ocarina of Time (the original and the remakes), and equally adored Mario 64, but I couldn't get into any of the Mario or Zelda games after those titles, however much I tried. Similarly, I struggle to get hooked for longer than a few days at a time with Odyssey. Breath of the Wild, however, sank its claws deep into me, and even after beating the game and putting it down for quite awhile, I recently picked it back up to start a second playthrough from scratch. I'll never do that with Odyssey - heck, I'll probably never finish it at all. That's not to say Odyssey is a bad game. I actually think it's the best Mario game since Ocarina. It just doesn't provide enough variety and story to hook me the way BoTW does.
But as I said at the start, I really think it comes down to personal taste more than anything else. Both are great games. Both are "must haves" for any Switch owner. It just so happens that my personal preference leans more towards BoTW, while others may prefer Odyssey. And that's okay.
It’s been 5 years since super Mario odyssey came out and I’m already feeling nostalgic
Judy got this one a few days ago.. beautiful graphics
Agree with you. BoTW is great but the paper weapons... Ive beaten it and done all shrines but everytime i play I am reminded of how annoying the durability is. Some people like it but different strokes for different folks.
9:20.."I remember the first time playing n64"...
Me, being 10 years old in 1981 and remembering playing Pac-Man on Atari.....blank stare....
BOTW is my most played on the switch. I enjoyed it a lot. I just bought SMO like 2 days ago, too early to share my opinion. But so far so good 👍
"Exploration done to explore!" - We found him, the genius!
I just beat it yesterday and I loved it sad too finish it tho
The only real big delay this year was Starfield. We still got Elden Ring, Horizon, Pokemon, Kirby, GT7. GOW and MW2 for the holiday. PS Plus revamp finally rolling out. Microsoft acquiring Activision. N64 coming to switch online. Steam Deck releasing. To me it has been not a boring year at all for gaming.
Super mario odyssey is definitely one of the best games one the switch and one of the greatest game of all time. I would also make a case of luigi's mansion 3 being the best game on the switch as well.
BotW is my personal preference but it gets all the shine so more Odyssey praise is refreshing when you see it. It would probably easily rank at the top of many peoples lists if it wasn’t for that one glaring game looming over everything else on the platform. Honestly, both are top two regardless of the order you put them in (although I would *personally* debate putting Metroid Dread in second place as a massive fan of that franchise who was extremely satisfied with how it turned out).
Moments when I'm chilling playing something like dq11 or monster hunter rise with the homies i see Mario odyssey and I'm like man i wanna play it should be illegal how many times i come back just to play the new donk city festival level
@aku cinta Kamu,,,💧 ACNL LOVER GO AND PLAY ACNL
If they could combine the level creativity of odyssey with some of the hat gameplay mechanics (somehow) into a minish cap like game that would be so fun
Got a switch for Christmas 2022. Even though multiple forums say BOTW is a “must have” I didn’t like it. And I’m a Zelda fan back to NES . It was boring to me ☹️. Traded it for Links Awakening remake…. Haven’t played many other switch games so trying to expand my library . I also have Metroid Dread and love that game.
I'm pretty new to Switch, got one about 3 months ago and while I haven't put a ton of time into it, the first game I bought was Breath of the Wild. I have Mario Odyssey too but I haven't opened it yet. But while I do like BotW...I don't find myself fiending to play it. I played Ocarina of Time for the first time on an Emulator years after the N64 (it was like 2010), but I couldn't put that game down, I absolutely loved it. But I don't have that same feeling from BotW...BotW has a little too much tedium in the gameplay for my tastes. I'll definitely go back to and play it some more, but I don't think I'm going to have the same love for it that most people do and I can safely say it doesn't surpass OoT when it comes to Zelda games. But this certainly sets up Mario Odyssey as being the better game for me when I do get around to playing it.
Probably put the most time into Pokemon Sword so far. Which says a lot considering I haven't played Pokemon since the Gold and Silver days.
