I do think that is reasonable yeah. Lots of Odyssey devs were absent from the Bananza credits and imo it would be absurd to go two full holiday seasons of their new console without a new Mario. Plus there's the movie to capitalize on. But if it's not this year then I agree it's not anytime soon.

I fully agree with this, but also SMO is probably my favorite game to 100%, I absolutely love completing it and getting every moon and it's one of the best aspects of the game to me, I never understood people's issue with it π but yeah the whole point is that the game is beatable without it lmfao

I'd be surprised if we went past March without a release date, but I still think the game is coming out in May, since April is packed already with the movie and Tomodachi Life. But what's interesting is that the movie is part of the 40th celebrations despite releasing after March 31st, so I think-

Effects of a video game intervention on symptoms, training motivation, and visuo-spatial memory in depression
By Moritz Bergmann, Ines Wollbrandt, Lisa Gittel, Eva Halbe, Sarah Mackert, Alexandra Philipsen, Silke Lux Department of Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Bonn, Bonn, Germany, 2023
doi.org/10.3389/fpsyt.2023.1173652
Methods: a total of 46 clinically depressed individuals were treatment including psychotherapy and/or randomly assigned to one of three groups: an experimental "3D video gaming" group (n = 14) which played Super Mario Odyssey, an active control group (n = 16) which trained with a computer program "CogPack," and a treatment-as-usual (TAU) group (n = 16) which received a standard clinical pharmacotherapy.
Results: regarding depressive symptoms, a significant decrease in the proportion of participants who showed clinical levels of depressive symptoms as measured by the Beck Depression Inventory was only found in the 3D video gaming group (which played Super Mario Odyssey).
Conclusion: besides a standalone cognitive training, the current findings suggest that cognitive trainings using a video game have potential to increase subjective well-being, show higher levels of training motivation, and lead to improvements in visuo-spatial memory functions in MDD.
The proportion of participants that showed depressive symptoms (BDI-II β₯ 13) at pre- (T1) and post-assessment (T2). For Super Mario Odyssey, 100 at T1 and 57 at T2.
Note: information heavily abridged. For the full paper, see link above.
A 2023 German psychiatric study found that playing Super Mario Odyssey significantly improved depressive symptoms in clinically depressed individuals compared to regular psychotherapeutic treatment, reducing depression by 43%.

Yeah people are completely within their rights to get whatever game they want, but it's not good to dismiss people who have completely valid complaints about the price. $20 for unchanged GBA games is absolutely ridiculous to me and I think that's a fair stance to hold, but value is subjective so idk

look, everyone can spend their money how they want and I'm not gonna go around policing people's purchases, but *surely* I'm not out of my mind for thinking $20 for 20-year-old unchanged GBA games is absurd?? I just can't defend this I'm sorry lol. I hope people who are interested enjoy it though :)

a few thoughts:
- man this game still looks gorgeous, I really do still want to play it sometime, and now I'm even more tempted
- "definitive edition - nintendo switch 2 edition" is hilarious
- perhaps this is what nash weedle was hearing about for this week? π€

the lack of a nintendo direct announcement today pretty much confirms to me that they're switching to a 2-direct-per-year schedule, rather than 3 like they used to. it's clear that they're not at all committed to their feb/june/sept schedule anymore. it's probably march/sept now.

I've been so addicted to the sherbet land theme from mario hoops 3-on-3 lately. this song is an unreal banger.
honestly, this whole game feels like a fever dream in a way despite never playing it, idk how to describe it. it makes me want another dedicated mario basketball game.

a kirby air riders results screen where first place and 4th place have been switched. a notice in the middle reads:
Tragically, CPU3 passed away during today's race. To honor them and their memory, they will be posthumously awarded the first place title.
We understand this may upset the previously determined winner of the race. However, we feel it is important to treat all race participants with respect, and we have determined that this is the best way to show support to the deceased.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Please refer to the Kirby Air Ridersβ’ Health & Safety Guide for more information.
last night i had a dream where i was playing a race against cpus in kirby air riders and won, but there was a mechanic where one of the cpus could be randomly revealed to have died in the middle of the race and it would automatically give them first place
