Several titles have been revealed for the Nintendo Switch during last week's presentation, including a brand new Super Mario game called Super Mario Odyssey. After a few games like Super Marion 3D Land and Super Mario 3D World, which combined elements from 2D and 3D Mario games, Super Mario Odyssey will offer an open world experience in the vein of Super Mario 64, and it looks like players are starved about this type of experience.
In less than 3 days, the Super Mario Odyssey reveal trailer on the Nintendo Official YouTube channel reached almost 7 million views, becoming the third most viewed video behind the Switch reveal trailer and the Zelda: Breath of the Wild gameplay trailer from seven months back. With players being so interested in Super Mario Odyssey, one has to wonder how things would have played out if the game was among the Switch launch titles.
Not much is currently known about Super Mario Odyssey, other than the fact that it will launch at the end of the year and that it will be closer to Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine, with an open world experience that should reward exploration. The game also seems to be set outside the Mushroom Kingdom, so it will be interesting to see what the team will come up with.
Super Mario Odyssey launches later this year exclusively on Nintendo Switch. We will keep you updated on the game as soon as more comes in on it, so stay tuned for all the latest news.
