Flying a helicopter in Banjo's Nuts & Boths is so much fun. Nintendo needs to bring vehicles into the next 3D Mario game.

There was a moped in Odyssey, on the castle stage. I can't remember if it was also in the New Donk city stage.

I haven't played Rise, but heard it was already an easier game.  If this is the trend going forwards I don't know if I'll stay invested in the series.  The Eurogamer review mentioned having played for 40 hours (or was it 20?) without failing a single quest.  Taking out friction like they did in Worlds is one thing, but it seems they're trimming away too much of what defined the series.

The console versions seem lacking as well from a technical point.  I was hoping for a Switch2 port, but that seems even less likely now.

No selectable difficulty?

The moped was dope as was the tank and dinosaur, but I need more more MORE vehicles! Airplanes, helicopters, boats, jetskis, trains! And bring back FLUDD too! Super Mario Pilot Everything!

I like the cut of your jib.

I forgot about the tank level.

That's probably my biggest problem with Odyssey, you only get to see that rain soaked level once.

If you haven't played Rise yet, and you have someone to play with, you might want to give it a shot since it does get dirt cheap. It does start out easier, but it also has a sharp difficulty spike during the second half of the main game. Plus, I found the the final boss to be one of the hardest in the series.

I never felt the urge to play Rise. I played the demo, but just wasn't feeling it. I could play it free though as my son bought it a year or so ago.

I’m very hyped for Monster Hunter Wilds myself. Not too worried about it supposedly being easier. Loved both World and Rise. Played the Wilds beta and loved what I played there as well. I got the Premium Deluxe Edition pre-ordered and ready to go when it launches on Friday.

The last Monster Hunter game I played was on Wii. I didn't get very far, lol.

That would have been Monster Hunter Tri, and I more or less had the same thing happen to me. I got ambushed by a monster while I was exploring, and then got fed up with the game and took it back to GameStop to sell it.

A couple years later when that first big Wii u drought hit. I ended up buying the Ultimate version for the Wii U, and finally figured out how to play the game. Glad I gave it that second chance. Turned into one of my favorite series of the past 10 years.

Really would like to play more Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii. Only played it very briefly. Also want to grab Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate for the Switch. It goes on sale for quite cheap these days.
