Those of you who positively love moaning about the fact that we cover Brie Larson way too much here at Nintendo Life are going to get a kick out of this story, because the Academy Award-winning actor – famous for her roles in Captain Marvel, 21 Jump Street and Room (as well as her deep love for Animal Crossing) has just launched her own YouTube channel, and in the first video, she talks about how a certain critically-acclaimed Wii title caused something of a bump in one of her past relationships.
Around the 11-minute mark, Larson talks about her love of Nintendo, explaining that the NES was her first console and she was a big fan of Super Mario Bros. and The Little Mermaid.
She then explains that, upon reaching the last boss in Super Mario Galaxy some years later, she was accused by her first boyfriend of taking the game too seriously – so she took the only reasonable option open to her at the time: she threw him out.
She's also of the opinion that Super Mario 3D World "is the greatest achievement in Nintendo's history":
Larson – who is best mates with Doug Bowser, we've heard – plans to do all kinds of cool things on her channel – many of which will be video game (and Nintendo) related, so feel free to subscribe. If you don't feel like it, then rest easy, because you know we'll be reporting on anything she does which is relevant to Nintendo (or even tangentially-related, of course).

Insert Wah Wah comments here.
I just sit down, enjoy my pop corn and watch the funny debates here.
Good thing she stayed away from World of Warcraft, she may have never dated again.
Can NLife just stop with these articles? It’s the easiest way for them to make money because now loads of man children will start hating on Brie Larson in the comments because that’s what makes their pathetic lives have the slightest bit of meaning.
That's excellent. If anyone told me I was taking SMG too seriously, I would tell them they weren't taking it seriously enough.
Gonna make popcorn so I can properly enjoy the anti-Brie hot takes.
@nessisonett We posted this because it's a fun, Nintendo-related story. Chill.
Keep searching boys,
We gotta find out who the **** asked
@Damo this is why I love you guys, you guys aren’t really a company, more human and real.
@Damo We see it in literally every article related to her. Even the one you linked to in the article has 193 comments, most of which is bickering.
Her love of Nintendo is so wholesome
Haha. I love you Nintendolife
Perhaps I am beginning to finally understand why we video game hobbyists are looked down upon.
inb4 this comment section explodes with vitriol.
@nessisonett The only other option we have is to close the comments off, which feels like throwing the baby out with the bathwater. Should we not cover some cool Nintendo news because there's a very, very small minority who feel threatened by the fact that Brie Larson likes Nintendo as much as they do, if not more? Nope.
However, we will be closely monitoring the comments here and anyone seen to be breaking our community rules will be warned.
I wasn't a fan of Brie Larson as Miss Marvel (Sorry--Captain Marvel to me will always be the one who says Shazaam!), but I loved her in Room and Scott Pilgrim. Her being a gamer and a Nintendo fan makes her relatable and more human that way and helps me like her for that rather than a few of the political things I disagree with that she says.
Wow, there's a lot of commenters here that must be super fun at parties.
Personally, I think this story has as much merit to be on the site as the usual "Nintendo sells X number of consoles this week", except this one is actually more entertaining.
Still don't understand the hate. I thought it was nice to have some big names liking the gaming scene. I'm out of the loop when it comes to celebrities & Hollywood gossip.
@nessisonett Bickering you are actively contributing to.
O captain, my captain ❤️
@nessisonett just to point out aren't you equally hating on those "man children" with your comment that you claim will hate on her? So your comment can be seen as just as bad as potential ones.
I think I'm in love with Brie.
@Zenszulu - Pot, kettle, but only one is allowed on the stove.
@sikthvash apparently she had some strong political beliefs and so Muricans went haywire, which, like everything else US politically related, seeps into every other facet of life, fuelled by the trolls. Oh well...
She says Nintendo's biggest achievement is Super Mario 3D Land, not Super Mario 3D World...
@nessisonett I think it’s a little crazy to suggest they only post articles that everybody is going to have the same opinion on no? When is that ever going to happen? Debate is healthy 😉
Talented actress (who is also pretty hot) also has a deep love for Nintendo.
Is she still single?
Personally... I'm in love with her, ever since Room which is probably a bit strange, but my infatuation with her increased with Captain Marvel. Now the fact she loves Nintendo means I might leave my wife for her. I think they'll both understand.
This is kinda of a sad article, on all counts. I'm not even sure why I bothered saying something.
There's more talk about people who hate on Brie than people actually hating on Brie.
What did she do?
lol, I love these articles.
Brie Larson hosting a Nintendo Direct would be awesome.
@RadioHedgeFund
she’s way out of your league or (Super Mario) galaxy, bro
@jump pretty much! The internet is a magical place, isn't it?
Anyway, expect it to get worse if/once both groups meet.
Brie does not matter. Why don't you post an article about what my mom thinks of SMG?
@jump it's anger and there being the thought of other angry people more than anything.
Some women attempt to gain status from demasculinising men, but may inadvertently demean their femeninty.
I won't judge her. I'd do the same. By the way, I’m happy whenever someone famous shows their love for Nintendo.
Oh, how I love to read the comments!
THANK GOD I HAVE NINTENDO LIFE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT BRIE LARSONS AND HOW SHE IS A SUPER DUPER NINTENDOFAN 😩👌👌👌👌. Now talk seriously you guys have some partnership with her or something like that? hahaha.
@RazumikhinPG In the clip, she clearly mentions 3D World.
She--and the article--refers to 3D World, but I'm pretty sure she actually means 3D Land, since she's specifically talking about optical illusions and it shows an image of a 3DS. She probably got them mixed up, which is easy to do.
@Not_Soos I thought that, but the 3DS isn't actually shown playing 3D land - I think it's just a placeholder clip? And the quote is from 2014, and 3D World came out at the end of 2013.
What's fun is comparing the profile pic to the comment.
@Damo If you pause at the 17-second mark, that's definitely 3D Land on the screen when Mario enters a Toad house. I don't recall the Toad houses having those cardboard Goombas (maybe it was Photoshopped in?) but those are also an object from 3D Land.
It must have been those clear the trash in 30 seconds or less challenges. Those were so freaking difficult! You have to be very serious to finish those challenges.
It IS a fantastic game after all. I just replayed it last weekend. I'm working through 2 now, and it's even better.
@Damo slip of the tongue? They show an image of a 3DS with 3D Land and she mentions optical illusions. I didn't play 3D World but I think it didn't have optical illusions like 3D Land.
To be fair, her wooden acting nails her Captain Marvel character perfectly.
This is the most civil discussion on a brie Larson related topic I've ever seen. Can someone check on the NL community? I think something might be wrong
@nab1 completely agree with your second paragraph.
From time to time we get a "random celebrity X like Y" article in just about anywhere. Whether I care for said celebrity or enjoy said thing will dictate if I'm going to click the article or not. It should be completely harmless.
Brie is fine, I'm glad she can enjoy video games like us. It's a fun hobby
@GundamExia Good this is an entertainment site and not a news site, eh?
@ReaperExTenebris It wasn't all that, she came across as unlikable and insufferable during the marketing campaign of that movie, her acting is so-so and she is not Scarlet Johansson.
It's wasn't just the outspoken feminism but also the mention of her character being more powerfull than Thor or the Hulk and then going on to claim that people who did not like that must be manbabies who hate women in strong roles and such and such.
Creating a storm of toxicity from different sides.
It was a perfect example when Bad- PR, social media and Fandom collide, atleast Brie got a sequel and Jeremy from the Quartering got a toolshed out of it so it wasn't all for naught.
Um ok? nobody cares! but she has my respect as a gamer nice samus cosplay to.
@Severian just a heads up, Ms Marvel is an entirely different character with a different power set - the first Muslim Marvel character to star in her own comic series. Might need to come up with another name for the character if you don’t wanna call her Captain Marvel.
This story was funny and made me laugh. Thank you. Sometimes we just need a light hearted thing to make us smile.
@muscpt true story, look at Henry Cavil. He almost didn't get Superman because he was raiding in WoW and missed the call... Twice.
The Mario Galaxy series are the best Mario games of all time. If they do make the move over to the Switch this year, that would be huge.
Sounds like she did him a favour...
She’s right about Super Mario 3D World, that game smokes every other Mario game ever made and it’s not even close.
Haha I like the way this article is written
I have to say, I'm totally disappointed. 80% of the comments are expecting a lot of hate or a lot of love for Brie, and only 20% in fact are doing those hate and love comments =(
@Rafke comments prove otherwise
Its actually pretty serious! To save the galaxy!
The fate of the galaxy or her boyfriend.
She suits up and helps mario as captain marvel.
Marks out of 2
@Damo Yeah, I don't think those people making negative comments about Brie Larson are doing it because she "likes Nintendo as much as they do". I think there's slightly more to it than that, and some of it kinda justified in my humble opinion. I have no tolerance for any serious threats or real sexism or genuine hate speech or anything like that--and I'm talking about actual real examples here rather than some of the completely tame stuff that is labelled as such these days--but I think a bit of home truth is more than fine and indeed well earned in her case.
So I'm assuming brie is a voice in the new mario movie, I'd say toad?
@Zenszulu Hating on women for having opinions is not the same as hating on men for being sexist aah soles.
I always think it's cool when celebrities reveal their love for Nintendo. And she is beautiful! Ah, really Super Mario 3D Land and 3D World are fantastic. But the pinnacle of Nintendo when it comes to Mario is still the two Wii games.
I hate Brie Larson and find her completely insufferable but this still got a chuckle out of me. I can only imagine the conversation that must have taken place.
"You're spending too much time with Mario instead of me!"
While I also disagree that 3D World/Land is Nintendo's greatest achievement, I myself am a big fan of those two games. I absolutely love the style of 3D World and I'm still waiting for it to either come to Switch or get a sequel. Mario Galaxy 1/2 are pretty great too and I wouldn't mind a Galaxy 3.
For a bit I was worried that Brie Larson had a boyfriend... I still have a chance.
Anyone taking offence to this article or Brie Larson needs to get a life. You could just as easily not click on the article or comment. Babies
@JimmySpades That's really not what or how it happened for the most part, outside of a small handful of extreme examples, and anyone claiming otherwise is being slightly disingenuous and insidious imo.
I agree with her. I see no fault with her decision.
I mean this is completely reasonable. If he’d have turned the system off it’s justifiable homicide at that point....
Honestly I don't care for an article like this. It's not something i feel is newsworthy.
What exactly happened was she wanting her boyfriend to call her “Mario” in bed?
Who cares? Like women says video games. Why is this news worthy? Do girl gamers not exist?
@JimmySpades I didn't say or suggest it was
@Octane I hate brie, but I love myself some Paturain.
Um...she wasn't in The Room. She was in another movie called Room. Totally different movies.
@nessisonett a man child calling out other man children?
🍿
@RevengeFan The same movie if you are on acid lol.
@ShadJV Um... Actually Carol Danvers was the first Ms. Marvel ever. Later her powers (and even memories) were drained and stolen by Rogue (before becoming part of the X-men). Besides Danvers, two other characters would hold the Ms. Marvel moniker before Kamala Khan.
Maybe she will get the role of Samus Aran if a Metroid live-action movie does ever get made.
@nessisonett,
For once you and I are in total agreement, I may not always agree with you on video games but with this you are spot on, I just wish Nintendo would release some information so we don't have to put up with so many pointless articles.
@Chibi_Manny I hope not.
Sounds about right for her. That's what he gets for dating her.
I don't mind this, celebrity endorsements are fine. She's got some views that I don't agree with, but there's a lot of people I like (celebrities or otherwise) who have differing opinions to me on probably at least one subject, if not more. As far as I understand it we allegedly live in a tolerant society, which means healthy debate and respectful discussion, not cancellation, deletion and censorship when someone dares to have a different reasoned opinion to the vocal majority. This is someone who has a genuine love for the best of Nintendo, and I'm happy to hear her talk about that.
Even in their own home, gamers are under constant scrutiny. It's time to rise up.
@ShadJV I already knew that, so back at ya: Miss Marvel was her original name in the comics. Miss Marvel, Kamala, the Muslim character is the legacy character who took the name with Carol’s blessing once she called herself Captain Marvel.
@juliobrand thank you!
@juliobrand @Severian true, but I’m talking about the modern day. At this point in time, the characters have been branched off into two different characters: there’s Ms. Marvel and there’s Captain Marvel, and calling one by the other name can make discussions rather confusing (not that comic book discussions aren’t already a can of worms there). So yeah, Captain Marvel WAS originally called Ms. Marvel, but now they’re two distinct characters, and we don’t live in the past, for better or worse.
@PoorGeno
Want to try again, this time in English?
@ShadJV Oh, don’t give me the “look at the present, don’t get stuck in the past” argument because my response is how Superboy-Prime couldn’t be called Superboy because of the legal battle with DC and Siegel and Schuster before it was settled and he went from being aged up to Superman-Prime and back down to Superboy. 😜
Anyway, I grew up with the pre-Disney, pre-Ultimate universe Marvel and Post-Crisis DC, so that remains my frame of reference and don’t care for New 52s or Marvel #1s every year (except for Immortal Hulk—that rules!).
VS convention in comments. Nice.
@Damo
I think most people dislike her for a variety of reasons relating to past comments and inflammatory statements she’s made, not because they feel “threatened” by how big of a Nintendo fan she is. I’m just not a fan of generalizing a group so you can try to invalidate any legitimate problems people may have with her.
I think the real hero here is the boyfriend. I enjoy my games but I don't prioritise it over my relationships.
@Severian and you’re free to prefer the older Marvel and DC but that doesn’t change the fact that Ms. Marvel is currently a different character than Captain Marvel. And you just have to accept that conversations like this will happen because plenty of people use the current names and titles rather than the former ones. but I mean if you’re cool with that, that’s fine, just don’t act like someone is wrong for pointing out they’re different characters now.
@ShadJV I never said anything was wrong with you pointing it out. I was just saying I knew about Miss Marvel and the legacy names. 😊 besides: plenty of younger fans i know actually have more vested interest in my generation’s continuity than the present one since my Millennial cousin still complains how Tim Drake isn’t Robin.
Continuities in comics are a convoluted mess anyway and Billy Batson!Captain Marvel is technically still Captain Marvel in comics because the Rebirth continuity avoids directly calling him either CM or Shazam as much as possible, but usually defaults to the latter, especially in the current run.
In other words, the point I make is the names change because of legal issues more than anything else until they can revert back or for rebranding. Marvel Captain Marvel with Carol is not terribly popular in comics still—Civil War 2 and the pathetic attempt to make Inhumans the new X-Men are examples of that attempt to force coolness.
Brie is the best. Charming and promising first episode.
“I don’t want to hear what a white man has to say about 'Super Mario Galaxy.’ I want to hear what a woman of color, a biracial woman has to say about the game. I want to hear what teenagers think about the game.”
Do people seriously ignore the word RANDOM in front of all these types of articles? There's no point in complaining if you already know it's gonna be RANDOM.
@Severian oh yeah, I don’t even know many fans of Carol Danvers (at least in the comics), and I can’t say I’m a fan of Inhumans. X-Men are way better. Not that I’m a fan of Kamala either... something about her tendency to have giant hands sorta makes me uncomfortable.
And yeah, as I said continuities are a can of worms. We end up with too many universes to keep track of, and then when they do weird multiverse stuff... (Though Spiderverse handles it alright I think).
But either way, I can respect all that, thanks for being patient in our discussions rather than reverting to ugly personal attacks! Way too many comic books discussions online (or discussions online in general) turn into that, and I do agree with the points you made. And speaking of which, I still need to see the Shazam movie assuming it’s any good. DC movies of late have been hit or miss and I heard opinions all over the board on that one...
She probably has a video game collection exceeding 10,000 titles.
@JimmySpades Generalizations about men are sexist.
@Rafke you cared enough to let everyone know that you didn’t care.
@ShadJV No problem, my man. If it isn’t fun, why bother talking about it? That’s why when I see fanboy pissing contests here and pushsquare, I roll my eyes because games are supposed to be fun, not cause stress (unless it’s Dark Souls!).
Comics fans are definitely opinionated...😅 I stopped reading DC for the whole New 52 era because I didn’t like the new Lobo or Superman, the absence of Wally West, but I also hated the people crying about the old continuity. Then Marvel threw out their legacy by making their comic characters more like their MCU versions—just recently, the MCU Yondu replaced original Yondu in comics as the original was killed off in his last adventure alongside the new one.
All the attempts to make comics more mass appealing and to have multiple mediums from film to games to even political ideas (present day Kamala Miss Marvel on bus banners in San Francisco as a symbol against hate speech for one) to me has both elevated the medium and over saturated it...and to an extent has made it less about the core fans and more about the mass appeal, which inevitably leads to conflict because everyone feels like they claim ownership over a character or setting.
It’s the sandbox approach: I play with the same toys in the sand, I leave and remember the world my friends and I created, new people come in and make up their own stories and characters, and some people say that it’s cute, others say “Miss Marvel is who she will always be!” or “She doesn’t DESERVE to be Captain Marvel” but my simple reason is that I still have a hard time re-associating things...sort of like Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles or Star Wing and Lylat Wars instead of TMNT and Starfox in certain regions, or how it took me years to stop saying Final Fantasy 3 instead of Final Fantasy 6.
Also, definitely watch the Shazam movie! It was touching to me, especially Billy and the theme of family.
@jsw-8
As a former Nelf Hunter, I get it on some level, but got to get paid, pick up the phone, Lol.
@Severian yeah, given how financially successful the MCU has been for Marvel, I’ve hardly been surprised by them choosing to use those versions in their comics. Despite the fact that a majority of the movie fans are not the type to read comics anyways. To a business who’s out of touch with their fans, it makes logical sense, but once you’re aware of your demographics, it sorta falls apart. Then again, perhaps there are a number of younger fans that prefer the versions they saw in the movies? Comics are in an awkward place due to how easy it is to just find them scanned online... I’m sure their revenue has taken heavy hits so who knows what the best financial choice is for them there. Of course, collectors (and a lot of older fans) will always prefer physical comic books, and I’m sure there are some younger fans who do too, but...
Using comic characters to spread political ideas is hardly new, even the earliest comics did that (though I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir there), but you’re right that they’re used in mainstream politics even more. It’s over saturation. I think we actually hit the peak this past year though in terms of mainstream Marvel, as many casual fans will lose interest since Endgame wrapped up the three phase arc. It’ll be interesting to see what happens next, as they might be in a position where they have to try to appeal to the more hardcore fans. DC has less of a problem there because they’ve yet to reach quite the saturation levels of Marvel (mostly because they don’t have Disney to milk them to death).
She's pretty wrong about 3D World.
Otherwise, sound judgement.
I read NintendoLife quite a lot, and genuinely don't remember another Brie Larson article.
Perhaps I saw the headlines, decided I wasn't interested, forgot about them, and lived my life.
@PoorGeno
femeNINTY
I see what you did there.
I think she’s cute. People need to relax.
The only issues I have with this is that it's treating a celebrity's opinion as worth any more than any other random dude on the internet.
That's just not the case.
And also that NintendoLife knows full well how much this woman angers certain people, and is fully happy to take advantage of it.
@Anti-Matter is right, whenever her name is brought up, it's starts a forest fire.
Though I will never understand the rabid hate this woman gets.
@ShadJV In general, MCU fans don't read the comics...and the comics fans hate the MCU invasion of the continuity, with Iron Man being the only character who got better because of the MCU since he was a second string character before Robert Downey JR became Iron Man.
I am not much of an MCU fan--it turned a lot of Marvel comics characters into essentially the same writers telling the same jokes and no individual personalities, voices, or distinctions--making them worse than DC where everyone in the New 52 was trying to be the same grim dark Batman--even all-loving Wonder Woman and boy scout Superman. Marvel tends to essentially have a xeroxed character with different powers and checklists for tokenism rather than actual diversity that it needs, though I do appreciate Kamala Khan does represent the Millennial fanfic writer, but that isn't saying much about the rest of her character. She is controversial in some circles in Indonesia, by the way, because she only represents one face of Islam, and where there are variations of Orthodox, liberal, and other nationalist with differences within them as well, each of them has their own reasons for rejecting Kamala since she doesn't spell out the nuances within Islam and doesn't even note the difference between Suni and Shia (or Sufi).
This "everyone is a witty comedian" snarking each other in Marvel basically makes Spider-Man redundant (all the Spider-Men), just like 90s ExTrEmE anti-heroes really failed at capturing the spirit of Spider-Man since like now with the comedian approach, everyone there was a wannabe Snake Plissken (the forefather of 90s antiheroes 9 years ahead of the actual decade).
And yes: politics and comics aren't new--Superman smashing the Klan, Wonder Woman becoming a gay icon (yes, gay more than LGBT), and of course, Captain America himself, who was made as a war propaganda tool. I would say comics are a fantastic tool for political messages since I read a lot of indie and European comics, which I have plenty of recommendations to check out from a journalist in Sarajevo, Filipino mythology, Jodorowsky's science fiction, and French comics about life during the Vichy regime while in the countryside.
Amusing that we're having a friendly discussion and there's so much hate for poor Brie in the other comments. My only issue with her is that she rejects aspects of Captain Marvel's history (the bathing suit for Miss Marvel) for wokeness, without realizing that the zeitgeist before her, actual feminists (not fake social media only feminists) fought for freedom to be sexually liberated and brought about the idea of effeminate women not being anti-feminist, such as with lipstick lesbians in the 90s and riot grrls--even if the character was designed by undersexed artists. Also, I have to keep reminding myself that she's Brie Larson, not Olson...don't look up who that is at work. ^_^"
I don't get the hate. A famous person, happens to be a woman, loves Nintendo. That's a good thing, but I understand why some simply don't care and that's good too. I don't care either, but we shouldn't bash her just because she's famous and connected to stuff people don't like. It's childish and needs to stop.
But can she run crysis?
Even though she’s a terrible actress imo, it’s apparent she loves Nintendo games which is cool. You don’t see too many celebrities that likes games for some reason.
The comment section is also extra spicy. There are the Larson haters and the Larson-hate haters, both side crying thinking both are more superior when they are two-peas-in-a-pod. Very spicy indeed~
Write article with tenuous link to BLM. Write article with tenuous link to Brie Larson. Rinse. Repeat. Children. You are just children. There, monitor and delete that - journalism has sunk so low.
The Little Mermaid (NES) was really fun. All those old Disney-Capcom games were pretty great even if Ducktales and Rescue Ranger get mentioned the most.
@Damo Exactly.
@Zochmenos They were a real golden bunch of Disney games.
@Apportal_SMM2 are you kidding? their mods are the most sensitive i ever seen.
wow i cant with these comments. like buzzkilled the whole article for me. try again tomorrow Nintendo Life.
@nessisonett
I agree with your comments regarding the story post. I am over the "lets create art online and meet the people" postings. Youtube is ok but it is not the schnizzle of all entertainment. I can't wait until people go back to work for real.
@Mooey what’s your wife’s phone number for no reason whatsoever?
@NintendoPok They’re funny, don’t worry what anyone else thinks, posts interesting articles, and yet still manages to be responsible and reasonable.
@Severian yeah, Ironman definitely wasn’t an A-list hero before the MCU but I see the point about everyone being so similar in personality. There’s a reason why the joke is that the DCU is dark and edgy while the MCU is just comedy. There are outliers, but it is a shame they strip so much from the comics, which are way more diverse. That’s not to say I personally don’t like any MCU movies... but I entirely see that point and can agree. Once again, maybe things will change now that casual fans are losing interest in the MCU... imagine an MCU that actually caters to Marvel fans!
Interesting to learn that about Kamala, I appreciate the knowledge! I wasn’t very aware of the controversies (heck, I wasn’t aware of the character until a couple years ago, to be honest).
I’m surprised you didn’t mention X-men in the politics examples, as them being a parallel for the civil rights movement is mentioned nearly as much as Captain America beating up literal Nazis. But yeah, comics are definitely great media for speaking on political issues, whether we agree with them or not. I’m not the best expert on history, but if I’m not mistaken that was more or less their original purpose. But then again, that’s just a lot of storytelling...
And yeah, I honestly haven’t been reading the other comments here but I assumed it’d mostly be a dumpster fire. I’m not necessarily a fan of Larson, but there’s few actors I can think of that seem to generate more fights and I mostly feel it’s excessive.
As for trolls, I usually just ignore them. They just want attention. Let the mods deal with them.
I dont know who Brie Larson is so I guess some woman likes Galaxy. Ok then. I wish I hadn't read this.
Super Mario Galaxy is the only good game.
Although I don’t hate her opinion on 3D World! That game owns
I wonder what people's reactions to this story would be if it was a man throwing his girlfriend out over video games.
The mention of Larson in past articles started the hate train but now the first comments of protecting her without any real need start it instead.
And they are the same people as in every "controversial" title. I guess you need this in your life huh? The modern whiteknights are disgusting.
@sikthvash
Can't speak for others but I don't know why people give a crap if celebrities like video games or not. Given that a lot of the big stars now grew up with them it's only natural many would love the hobby. But I enjoyed games well before it was seen as 'cool' by the mainstream and never thought it needed validation from Hollyweird or the music industry.
I identify as a fart.
Hey guys, what's going on in this thr-OH LAWD
I might not be the biggest Brie Larson fan, but who cares, this is awesome lol
Who is Brie Larson?
Some of these comments are really gross and completely unnecessary. I find for one find it pretty cool when celebrities and well known figures love nintendo and talk about their love for it so it's nice to hear about it. To the people saying negative things, you read the title of the article and YOU clicked on it- no one did that for you. If you're not interested, don't click. If you are interested then click and read- that is how the internet works.
NintendoLife simping. Maybe you might make her Twitter mentions one day.
>This article says Super Mario 3D World
>Tweet just says Super Mario 3D
>Video shows Super Mario 3D Land
The confusion is absolute. :3
@Lordplops I always find it funny when the people who claim that "journalism has sunk so low" (on a site which never claimed to be 100% about "serious" journalism – we're a fan site, we write about all aspects of Nintendo and video game culture) don't even bother to show up when we produce deeply researched pieces which took weeks to pull together and speak to exclusive sources.
I notice you didn't comment on this, for example:
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/06/feature_the_unsung_genius_who_tempted_nintendos_president_to_pick_up_a_joypad
Surely that's the serious journalism you miss, right? Why not read those posts and ignore everything that is clearly marked as 'Random'?
Might help lower your blood pressure
@Pod She says "3D World" in the video, and the clip is taken from someone else's channel (I think) so they might have just used a 3DS as placeholder footage for that bit. I defo think she's talking about 3D World, because the quote they're discussing is from 2014 (just after 3D World came out).
@Severian @__jamiie Please stop it with the personal attacks. I've deleted a bunch of your comments and will move to temp bans if they continue, as per our community rules.
@Damo happy to oblige, of course. I already made my point defending myself against the initial unwarranted attack and have no further reason to continue. Carry on!
@Damo, thanks for the article. My YouTube algorithm will never have recommended this video and it's a pretty funny watch, even outside the obvious Nintendo references. 😊
@jsw-8 You're welcome!
@Severian Thanks, I appreciate it.
@SuperWeird Super Mario World is goddamn ace... but Galaxy 1&2 are definitely the pinnacle.
(Please make SMG 3, Nintendo!)
@Damo I’ll just reiterate: that in-depth article was excellent.
@TriforceBun I’m guessing she’s embellishing and probably let him back in a few hours later.
@Antraxx777 That's really kind of you to say! Took a while to pull it all together but I'm really pleased with the end result
Who's Brie Larson again?
Nintendo Nerds: Oh daddy please give me that sweet Nintendo Direct action I don't care if it's fake I'm just so obsessed with Nintendo please fart all over my face
Brie Larson: I got really into Mario Galaxy
Nintendo Nerds: WHO IS THIS FEMINAZI ***** ANYWAY BLARGH BLARGH I HAVE NEVER KNOWN A LOVER'S TOUCH
You people are pathetic.
I liked Brie Larson before, and I like her even more now that I know she's a gaming nerd.
Brei Larson... The Henry Cavill of Nintendo.
@Damo @nessisonett WTF even is this? A kindergartener could come up with better talking points than this! EPIC FACEPALM
Super Mario galaxy was an amazing game at the time and it still is today IMO. Maaany times I tried to get my (at the time) ps3 friends to take it seriously, so I can absolutely relate to this lol. Both Mario galaxy 1 and 2 were excellent and if anyone says it's too easy then that's when you give them Mario galaxy 2 which pretty much picks up on difficulty where the first one left off.
Not gonna lie, I'm delighted with this for two simple reasons:
1) I cannot remember why "everyone" was hating on her a while back. I obviously managed to forget. As long as I am not going senile, that is just plainly a good thing, because I am positive it was equal parts inane and pointless to begin with - no matter what it was.
2) Brie seems to be in good spirits and just genuinely nice. These days that is something I find to be in exceedinly short supply. I also liked here in Free Fire, Room and Captain Marvel. While not my favourite MCU Film (that's GotG, as anyone with taste already knows), I'm a big enough dork and all-things-cosmic-Marvel-fan-since-1992 (Operation: Galactic Storm ... obivously ^^) to appreciate just anything that does at least some justice to cosmic Marvel content.
Good night.
Never liked her but I must laugh at how big this comment section is. Lol, not even the cast of Avengers liked her, she obviously have a stick up her a**. Especially after her nonsensical "old white male" speech about reviewers.That being said, the passion people have for her, either positive or negative, is funny.
@Damo
Why not just lock the comment section and avoid all the time spent monitoring them? Just admit it, you do it because you need your clicks and activate. That is fine, but at least be honest about it.
Finally, someone else who think "3D World" is better than "Odyssey" and the "Galaxy" games.
The more I think about it, the more I can see where Brie is coming from. I don't care about politics so which ever way she "leans" doesn't concern me. She's known as a "man hating feminist", but I can't stand most women especially, and most men. I had a woman that wanted me to drop video games completely for her and we were only dating a few months. She would call me just to check and see if i was gaming, and if i was... she would start trying to scold me. The last time she called me, I was playing some classic Doom deathmatch with my brother and she said "It's me or that stupid Doom game." so I said "In that case..." click Hung up in her ear. We never spoke again and good riddance.. lol
Saddened to see an article of such a toxic man hating woman of the very far left in political stance, Nintendo related or not.
Why is the wording of this article so damn guarded for an editorial website, you ought to be able to take criticism in hand. You know, pepper the salt with some optimism if it's not to your liking.
The headline needs to be trimmed down as well.
Edit
Looking at her video, it does seem that she is sadly lacking for self awareness, which is exactly how she comes across in her craft. She is a self-acclaimed social justice warrior of the first order and delivers her sentiments in a way that seems arrogant as it does naive, as well as unjust, and tiresome. Hating hu(man)ity isn't virtuous it's masochistic.
I wasn't able to move past the few minutes in which she draws in (famous) Internet personalities for her own personal self gratification. They fawn over her and glory in the decadence of her fame; their reactions are honest but the allure of it, and complete lack of humility diminishes her entirely as a person worthy of adulation.
@Damo it has nothing to do with her love of Nintendo. It has to do with the fact that she downright hates men. Any person who would throw their boyfriend out because of a game is already suspect anyway. But her male bashing doesn't stop there as she also said she doesn't care what men think about her movie and she's down right hypocrite. I think it's coincidence that she started a YouTube channel and immediately gets monetized, trending, etc, lol. I don't mind you posting the news but don't be so baity about it. And let's be honest, Brie is as much of a gamer as all those twitch streamers with their breasts hanging out are, which is NOT! Just because you like Animal Crossing doesn't make you a gamer. This is starting to sound like all those "game urinalists" who start their articles and reviews with, "I've been a fill-in-the-blank fan for years and I've played all the blank-games but..."
I dont like her. If a girl told a guy that he played too much mario and the guy threw her out of home, people would think that the guy was an insensible no-life.
Slowdive said the below and I got the response in an email from NL but I couldn't find it in this thread. So I posted their response and mine:
"Slowdive said:
@Fifth313ment She doesn't hate men, nor did she ever said that she did. Stop getting your "news" or "information" from opportunistic reactionaries like TheQuartering who created this ridiculous outrage culture.
@Damo She has a new video up on her Animal Crossing island.
Thu 16th 07:14"
@Slowdive have you never watched any of Larson's videos? When she talks about "not" hating white men her facial expressions are enough to show she does hate them. Not to mention she says it like 3 times. And none of this has ANYTHING to do with @TheQuartering.
Any man who watches any of her videos can see she loathes men. In the Avengers movie interviews you could tell the whole cast of the movie hated her, especially Chris Hemsworth (Thor). The same goes for her saying she doesn't care what a man thinks of that crappy Oprah movie. Why does she also not care what women think of her movie as it was a kids movie so should she only care what kids thought? Her logic is ridiculous!
And her YouTube channel is such pandering it's getting out of hand. It's necessary for an already rich celebrity to be propped up by the establishment and then the YouTube upper echelon management will say that everyone starts at the same level and everything is fair. Wow, kinda sounds like CNN and MSNBC, "WE ARE UNBIASED NEWS, we swear!" LOL. Yeah, keep telling yourself that, lol. And no one cares about her Animal Crossing island!
Lol: Super Mario galaxy should always be taken seriously. Its a great game.
And nothing of value was lost
