8 years later, why Super Mario Odyssey is still a fantastic 3D platformer

At this point, there aren’t many people who haven’t played Super Mario Odyssey. It first released in late 2017 as one of the Nintendo Switch’s premier first-year titles, and it was quickly met with critical acclaim. The game came during a time when fans felt the series was starting to stagnate. In 2016, you had titles like Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Super Mario Run, and Paper Mario: Color Splash – and while most weren’t bad, they all carried that same corporate Mario feeling. Even Super Mario 3D World, which is now widely regarded as a great game, was criticized at the time for its linearity and similarity to Super Mario 3D Land. Super Mario Odyssey was essentially Nintendo’s way of saying that new and fresh ideas were back on the table for the series.

Kirby Air Riders director Masahiro Sakurai closed out the game’s second Direct presentation today with a few general comments, including confirmation that he’s not planning DLC.
There’s always the chance that things could change in the future. However, at least right now, don’t expect DLC for Kirby Air Riders. Sakurai also said that he’s “not planning on making this an ongoing series.” It sounds like he went all out in making the Nintendo Switch 2 title.
