This looks great, loads of variety in the levels shown, gameplay looks like proper 3D Mario, I'm a little unsure about the new york level as it definitely brings back bad memories of Sonic games but other than that it looks brilliant. Will be the perfect game for Christmas.

Wow, so this does actually look pretty incredible.

This should have been a launch title though...

Not liking the look of that New Donk City setting. Thankfully the other stages look more reassuringly Mario.

You realise that's not how development works right? If it wasn't ready, it wasn't ready.

Would you rather they rush it and we get a new Wind Waker or Mario Sunshine (random tagged on content and less proper content?) ^^

Love how their stylised New York reminds me of Daytona USA 2

Urgh looks like sonic adventure. Ditch the city and it looks great.

How anyone can dislike a level called NEW DONK CITY is beyond me

Game looks great, and as a 3D Mario game will no doubt be fantastic

Whilst I don't trust Nintendo one bit when it comes to hardware design and marketing decisions, the one thing they still know how to do is making amazing games.

I have no doubt this will be incredible. Looks like a true successor to Mario 64 with huge playground type levels.

Everything looked lovely but that city with humans :dread: I don't want this in my Mario.

That cake/vegetable world, oh my :wub:

I think it's quite funny - Mario accidentally or whatever ending up in the real world. If done properly, it could be amazing.

The start of the trailer reminds me of Sonic Adventure

Echoe the thoughts of everyone else. Looks great except that Mario looks even more out of place amongst real humans than Sonic did!

I thought Mario was from the real world? Or has that been scratched along with the Koopa kids not being Bowser's offspring?
