The piece has been translated by the folks over at Nintendo Everything, and in it, Ikeuchi brings up that first promotional trailer - which came out before the Switch even launched!īefore the release of Super Mario Odyssey, we made an announcement trailer for the game where Mario leapt from a manhole and ran around a CG New York-like city. In a posting to Nintendo's Japanese recruitment site, Ikeuchi has shared some insight into how he got all of these designs to work together - especially given Mario's more cartoony look. One person we have to thank for this is lead VFX artist Junki Ikeuchi, who also worked on The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, ARMS, and the Nintendo Labo.
