Somewhat tangential, but watching that Direct I was reminded of the musical shift in Mario games towards big band jazz and bombastic/sweeping orchestral stuff. It always sounded inappropriate to me. Do you guys like this music in the later Marios? I have to grit my teeth through it.

Not necessarily the style of music that you'd initially associate with Mario, but it's done so well.

It's only a shift in terms of instrument sampling. The bits where Odyssey goes 8-bit is pretty good testament to that. You could probably retro-fi all of the modern tracks and they'd fit into any 8-/16-bit Mario game.
If they were to ever do a 3D remake of Super Mario World all of those tunes would likely receive orchestral renditions.

I've pre-ordered Mario 3D All Stars. Yes, the lack of Mario Galaxy 2 is disheartening and Mazza 64 not being widescreen is a bit jarring, but at the end of the day, these are great titles and they need to be in my library. It could be an investment too. Plus! My kids love mario and all 3 have Switches. They will want to experience these too.

Apparently the version of mario 3D world thats currently on the uk nintendo store is the digital version despite it not saying so i have had a reply back from customer support, they have thankfully cancelled my preorder for it. Just a heads up for anyone who wanted a cart copy.Last edited by importaku; 04-09-2020, 09:56.

I knew that something was up when the toggle that allowed you to choose physical or digital was missing.
I'll wait for physical pre-orders to appear.
