Super Mario Odyssey release date COUNTDOWN – Where to buy, cheapest deals, midnight launch

Super Mario Odyssey fans will soon be able to play the exclusive, with the release date for the gaming icon’s latest adventure fast approaching.

Super Mario Odyssey is launching on the Nintendo Switch this Friday, with fans already able to pre-order and pre-load if they buy from the eShop.

The latest entry in the beloved Mario series is seen by many as the true successor to the 3D platforming action of Super Mario 64.

The Nintendo 64 classic is widely regarded as one of the best games of all-time.

And hopes are high that Super Mario Odyssey could surpass that iconic game after Edge gave the Nintendo Switch exclusive a flawless 10/10 in the first ever review.

We have a sneaking suspicion that Super Mario Odyssey could end up being the best reviewed game of the year, and will top many GOTY lists.

Super Mario Odyssey sees the iconic Italian plumber travel across vast worlds as he tries to rescue Princess Peach from the clutches of Bowser once again.

Mario’s nemesis has kidnapped Peach and is planning to marry her, and it’s up to our hero and his new partner Cappy to stop the nefarious Koopa King.

If you’re looking to pick up Super Mario Odyssey on launch day, Express.co.uk has rounded up the best deals so you can get it at the cheapest price.

There are also 218 GAME stores around the country opening at midnight so you can get Super Mario Odyssey as soon as it’s released.

It’s priced at £49.99, and we’ve contacted Nintendo to double check when the game will unlock at.

Super Mario Odyssey has a release date of October 27, and is exclusive to Nintendo Switch.
