There is a setting to 'turn off' motion controls but then you're advanced movement mechanics are essentially wiped out. The role the motion controls play is far too prevalent. I only had one real gripe with my time with Odyssey. Almost everything about this game is pure perfection. The games graphical style is varied and filled with whimsy, and the same can be said about the score. To put that in perspective, i never thought that Nintendo would EVER put out a Mario title to surpass Sunshine. Level design is an absolute dream that i personally thought topped Sunshine. From it's beautiful scenery all the way down to its immensely satisfying mechanics. Super Mario Odyssey is a masterpiece of modern gaming.

I hope everyone enjoys these games as much as I have. We should declare 2017 as the Year of the Games. Besides Mario and Zelda, we had Persona 5, Cuphead, Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier, Nioh, Divinity. I must also add that this year has been incredible for gaming. They have absolutely blown me away with putting out masterpieces such as Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey. I had lost faith in Nintendo during the Wii U generation. Father/Mother playing with his or her kids. No other franchise has made as big of an impact on the gaming industry as Mario. I had chills running down my spine once I heard the theme from the Switch Presentation Trailer for Odyssey. I recommend that everyone use a headset to truly appreciate it. While those games followed a common theme, Odyssey takes influence from Super Mario 64 and Super Mario World in that there is a (Spoilers) desert world, ghost world. There seems to be a variety of different environments in this game, unlike Super Mario Galaxy and Sunshine. It maintains 60 fps consistently in both mobile and docked. Cappy serves as a great sidekick, with his boomerang and capture abilities providing a refreshing take on the classic 3D Mario Mechanics. The motions controls feel so intuitive and really enhance the gameplay. I highly recommend the 'single joy-con in each hand' motion control scheme. It was as if I stepped into a portal to my childhood. The spirit of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine lives on in this game. It was as if I stepped into a portal to I am just lost for words.
