5 things I love about Super Mario Odyssey

Nintendo’s Super Mario Odyssey for the Switch is the hottest game at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), the influential game-industry show taking place this week in Los Angeles.

Demos for the 3D platformer are attracting giant lines. Super Mario Odyssey’s trailer has the most views of any from E3 on YouTube: over 3.4 million. After playing it, I know that it deserves all this attention ahead of its October 27 release, because Super Mario Odyssey could be the gaming icon’s greatest adventure yet.
