A lot of people were expecting a new 3D Mario platform to make its way into the Nintendo Switch launch lineup, especially when it was featured in October’s trailer. This was not to be as we now know that Nintendo plan to release the game in the holiday season of this year (traditionally October-December).
Some more details about Super Mario Odyssey were revealed on stage at the Japanese Switch event over the weekend. Producer Yoshiaki Koizumi revealed that the game is pretty much finished development, but Nintendo decided not to make it playable due to the fact that it’s still a while off release.
He also revealed some more interesting details about the game. Odyssey pushes players actively explore more than other games. The objective is still to rescue Peach from Bowser, but it takes place outside of the Mushroom Kingdom in a certain Earth across different countries.
He also revealed some more interesting tidbits about the specific levels that we can see in the trailers:
Desert
Forest
Urban Area
