It seems all these old games are getting re-released for NEW GRAPHICS DUDE! It is really sad that they have to sell these games again because they are out of ideas. They don't go in and tell people how remarkable these old games were because they overcame certain technological limitations of the time, like the demo scene, but they have to bank off the name and ruin the fascination behind the gameplay.
Mario Odyssey = What if Kirby couldn't float? It was only a Mario game in the challenge sections, but they mostly wanted to make a Kirby game. Maybe because Sakurai is president?
Just curious, what else was wrong and why? It does seem a lot like a Kirby game actually. Constant respawning enemies, a focus on using their powers, few enemy types... at any rate one of the least Mario-focused games in the canon. There is a lot of gameplay where you're not using Mario's abilities, and less of a focus on objectives, more collectathon.
3D Mario games invented the collectathon, every single one of the games listed here are all about finding stars, shines, etc. The Kirby reference ignores Mario's suits, which is essentially what the hat does...except that it itself is part of a gameplay concept. Walls turning 2D, large open worlds, these little touches make Odyssey unique.
