Super Mario Odyssey

Hello, you beautiful Shy Guys and Shy Girls! This week on NEP, please excuse Oni’s sick voice… BUT! The gang has several great discussions you’ll want to hear. This includes Best Buy leaking games allegedly via their website, which Galen provides some extra insight on, as he used to be a terrible employee back in the day. We then discuss Labo VR and muse over what future ways Labo could be used (Oni freaks over Metroid). We then get a little heavy as we find ourselves talking about the games industry and publishers capitalizing on the social phenomenon of FOMO.

Thank you for listening! Please help the show grow by sharing the podcast with someone you think might enjoy.

More than a year after its release, Nintendo is still posting concept art from Super Mario Odyssey. The latest piece below is focused on the Snow Kingdom.

Nintendo has provided the latest piece of Hint Art for Super Mario Odyssey. Check out today’s image above.

As a reminder, similar to previous Hint Art images shared online, players won’t receive a Power Moon for solving the puzzle. Instead, they’ll be provided with a small reward.

Super Mario Odyssey has reached a new milestone in the UK. Propelled by the latest sales coming from Black Friday, the game has surpassed 500,000 copies sold.

Switch only has one other title to hit the same mark, and most would probably be able to guess what it is. Indeed: it’s Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.

Note that digital sales aren’t included here. If they were, Super Mario Odyssey probably would have surpassed the 500k mark a little while ago.

Nintendo has shared another piece of Super Mario Odyssey concept art through social media. Above, we have the latest image showing Pauline (or Mayor Pauline).

The art shows off Pauline’s final design in the game. Nintendo’s goal was to highlight what Pauline would look like today and maintain the past essence of the character at the same time.

Super Mario Odyssey has added in two more costumes – ones that we admittedly forgotten about previously when they were datamined.

As we approach Christmas, players can pick up the Santa hat and outfit. The two cost 500 coins and 1,000 coins respectively.

Also available is the 8-Bit Mario Cap. At a hefty 9,999 coins, Mario and Cappy will both be given an 8-bit makeover.

A year later, Nintendo still isn’t done sharing concept art from Super Mario Odyssey. Another piece was posted online officially via the game’s Japanese Twitter account showing the New Donk City festival. We have it above.
