Odyssey, quite simply, is the best platformer we've played in many a year. Is Mario Odyssey the best Mario game ever?
It had Super Mario Odyssey up its sleeve. Nintendo, though, wasn't quite as nervous. We even started to fear, once the hype had died down, for the Switch's future. If you simply look at the last few months, it'd be hard to recommend the console over a PS4 or Xbox One. And there have been a few decent third-party titles, like Lego City Undercover and Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.īut, when compared to rival consoles, the Nintendo Switch looks positively underserved. We've had other great first-party games in the shape of the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Arms and Splatoon 2 in the interim. After its spring launch, however, things went quiet.
(Pocket-lint) - The Nintendo Switch couldn't have had a better start, with a game as scintillating as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and sales figures the Wii U could only have dreamt about.
