Really excited for the Super Mario Odyssey as you can tell then I can continue my streak of beating every single official Mario game by 100% though you would probably guess that by my username. Personally I don't really look for much in a Mario game and I wasn't sure how Nintendo was going to top it off after Galaxy but with what I have seen in the first trailer amazed me but it's that second trailer that has far exceeded my expectations. Although if what I hear about the lives is true then I will miss that system since while many people believe lives are pointless I see them as an extra thing worth collecting to avoid a game over and while it is true that game overs can be unforgiving I feel like the same can be said to certain games without life systems where dying has no real consequences and just places you back to right where you have died and in some games dying might be beneficial like in the original Amnesia: The Dark Descent where dying actually despawns the monster when you start over.
Speaking of starting over from the beginning that reminds me of the time I first got a Gamecube which came with the Legend of Zelda Collectors Edition which had the first two Zelda games, the first two 3D Zelda games, and a demo for Wind Waker. I also got Super Mario Sunshine at the same time but unfortunately I didn't get a memory card with my gifts so while playing Super Mario Sunshine whenever I got a game over or turned off the game I would have to start from the very beginning, you can probably imagine how horrible that experience would be when progressing through a game and then having to start at the very beginning and have to go through those intro cut scenes again and again. The farthest I gotten without a memory card was to gelato beach before I had to call it quits for whatever reason, didn't really experience the same problem with the Zelda games for I sucked at them at first so I didn't really make any progress worth saving. Once I got a memory card things changes which me finally able to progress further in Super Mario Sunshine and beating all the game in the collection even Zelda II: the Adventure of Link. Those were good times in the 2000s.
