In a roundtable interview hosted by GameSpot with Yoshiaki Koizumi and Kenta Motokura of Nintendo EPD yesterday, the talk of multiplayer and network features in Super Mario Odyssey came up. Judging by the comments made, it’s certainly something that we could expect. When asked about multiplayer and online support, Koizumi stated:
“The first thing I want to say about multiplayer is that since this is the Nintendo Switch, and it does have two controllers, it’s very easy for you to imagine handing one to another person. So there probably is some…thing you’ll hear about multiplayer. The timing is not quite there, so I hope you’re able to wait for a little longer to hear about that.”
“As for Network features,” Koizumi continued, “since this is something the hardware is capable of, there might be something that you’ll head about there as well, and we hope you’ll look forward to it.”
Honestly, multiplayer in Super Mario 3D World made it one of my favorite Mario games. I’m not sure how well that would translate into this style of Mario, but I’m sure it’ll be good.
If there is multiplayer, the only way I can see it happening is if the second player having the role of something small (like the Luma from SMG2)
Mario Odyssey looked incredible during the show and more is coming. I can’t freaking wait!
I hope there’s online play, there’s too many resources to waste on just playing alone the whole time. Maybe co-op levels or just online multiplayer in general.
MY EYES ARE BLEEDING! <3
I told you it’s gonna have multiplayer. It’s back in October During the switch Trailer.
MAY THE HYPE TRAVEL THROUGH YOU
” head about ” hehe.
But cerealz, this game will be epic. Calling GOTY now.
I knew it.
it would’ve been awesome if SuperMario odyssey also came out for Nintendo’s wiiu.
It won’t help me any. Since I’ll never pay for a subscription just to play a game online. Never have, never will.
