>they had to change the box art
>>386804618
How does changing the boxart disqualify it from being GOTY?
>>386804618
? Enlighten me
>>386804739
sombrero mario used to be on it
Not this time, plumber
>>386804618The change looks better

Follows the original games too closely. At least Super Mario Odyssey is doing new stuff and perfecting an old formula, Sonic Mania is just doing the exact same stuff. Hell, half of the Mania levels are just remixes.

i want you to think about what changing the box art would accomplish when they left the costume in the game. why does everyone jump to MUH SJW PANDERING! KEKED COMPANY! CENSORSHUP!!!
The fucking costume is still in the game. What kind of retard would think they "had" to remove it from the box art but not the game?
>>386804618
Fuck off /pol/
>>386804780
>not getting Mania and Odyssey
>>386804732
Never said it did. Just found it funny people would get up and arms about a sombrero wearing Mario on the box cover.

Yooka-Laylee
>>386804902
True, but I've seen plenty of people here who want Mario to do the exact same thing (as 64).
>>386805445
Who said I won't? They'll be right next to eachother on my Switch homescreen
It literally hasn't been released yet
>>386804618
>absolutely no one complained
>Nintendo pulls it anyway
Is this being based or being the wildcard of the group?
>>386804780
>crash and sonicfags unironically believe they have a chance against Odyssey
>>386804780
BOTW has already BTFO of Mania, Sega already had their GOTY come out by Atlus, Nier already is better after seeing all the leaks, Odyssey is absolutely bonkers in all the right ways, Horizon actually seems as satisfying as Mania and I'm pretty sure I'm forgetting more.
Mania looks great but let's face it, it's a 10 year old going up against 5 or more Connors in a UFC match with Forces being his retarded 2 year old baby brother.

Both of you are fucking retarded, they changed it because it was a shitty low res picture.
"Suck my clit, plumber"

>games need to do something new to be worth game of the year
>>386806405
People complained that it was blurry, and Nintendo went with something that showcased underwater gameplay.

No game that has content locked behind plastic toys will ever be Game of the Year. No matter how bad you want this, it will never be a reality for you.
>>386807095
Literally every modern major Nintendo game can now never be GOTY.
>>386807095
>Content is locked behind online-only DLC that will never, ever be reduced in price
>Content is locked behind physical toy that has reached market saturation, can be bought second-hand or just borrowed
I mean, I know which one I'd rather have.
>>386807095
sure but its ok when sony does it right
Thank you for not posting the Mario odyssey cover with the super racist Mexican Mario in the bottom left corner. Me and my gender studies peers are so glad Nintendo stood up against its racists in its company.
>People unironically excited for Odyssey
Why?
>>386804618
Shouldn't mexicans be upset about this? SJWs censored their culture on the boxart.
>>386804618
>>386808318
Reminder that the Mexican Skull/Skeleton guy is still on the boxart, just barely noticeable.
Horizon Zero Dawn
>>386806837
Holy sht, I just noticed it now and it's really fucking blatant.
>>386809689
>main box has individual hair strands rendered
>mexican mario looks like you;re viewing it from 10 feet away
no wonder why it was changed

My older sister works for the Canadian government in its ministry of diversity and inclusion. She heard through the grape vine that the government wouldn't let the product be sold if it had culturally insensitive material on the packages face.

Essjaydoubleus did complain about sombrero mario though
>>386810216
But they complain about everything
>>386804190
Sonic Forces
>>386808149
It's looks like it could be fun, despite the stigma surrounding open-world games.
SMO looks awful to me so far. I wanna run and jump around satisfying platforming challenges in a charming world when I play Mario, not solve a ton of enviormental puzzles using the cap mechanic.
>>386808149
There was a picture that showed Odyssey will be more like 64 and Sunshine, and considering those are the best mario games it's obvious to get excited
>>386810660
>"Puzzles"
One of the puzzles is throwing your hat on a tree. Another is buying some clothes and watching a 5 second cutscene.
>>386810480
>open world
It's barely even that, the most open level is the desert and that's obviously for atmosphere, it's expectedly open, even then the Tostarena gives you multiple tools to mitigate it being a desert
You get binoculars to scout out the few things scattered around the desert, you get Jaxi's to quickly move to those small locations in the desert, and you can warp to checkpoint flags for even easier traversal to key locations.
Open World is such a non-issue in this game, and the fact that people bring it up all the time makes me think that this place maybe doesn't really get games.
>>386811167
Not to mention the abundance of obstacle courses
>>386811326
You mean the "focused paths" or the hidden levels that are no longer handed to you as primary objectives?
Why are the skeletons Mexicans again?
>>386811428
All mexicans deserve to be skeleton if you catch my drift
>>386811428
Because Day of the Dead is an awesome aesthetic choice.
>>386811428
Why not, the only problem with them is the lack of Daisy, these are an excellent race to be Daisy's adherents.
