Regardless of how Cappy might be a name that’s a little too on the nose for Mario’s new hat, one thing’s for sure: it’s a fun new mechanic that works wonderfully well, and just happens to be one of the new crazy new things being introduced by Super Mario Odyssey. Nintendo’s lovable plumber’s newest adventure…
In the time since finishing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, I’ve occasionally loaded the game up and just wandered around Hyrule. I’d take a quick survey of where I was and pick a direction to set off in, never using the map to chart my path or scout for any particular destination….
Dearly beloved, we gather here today to mourn the death of an icon. Well, hopefully not the death, but if Metroid Prime: Federation Force is any indication, it’s certainly terminal.
