LOS ANGELES - The new "Super Mario" game coming to the Nintendo Switch is fantastic. That's the most important thing you take away from this.
Would you expect any less from a game that looks as weird as this?
Nintendo
Just as "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild" was a massive evolution of the long-running, celebrated "Legend of Zelda" franchise, "Super Mario Odyssey" appears poised to challenge and evolve the Super Mario formula.
The game arrives this October exclusively on the Nintendo Switch, but Nintendo offered attendees of the annual E3 video game trade show a chance to play a 20-minute demo. I played that demo this week during E3 2017, and am here to tell you that it was rad.
