Random: One Piece's Netflix Star Would "Love" To Play Zelda: Wind Waker

https://youtu.be/paN-1U5eg1Y here it is running on Switch right now!

Man, he really missed the best generation. Great taste in games, though. Not sure why he's dead set on the original version of Wind Waker, as the Wii U version is superior. I guess he also doesn't know Mario Sunshine is included in the 3D All-Stars collection, unless he really just wants to play them all on original hardware. I agree Super Mario Galaxy is a work of art. The orchestral score, cinematic camera angles, and visuals all culminate into such an incredible experience that I don't think any game will be able to top. It's truly a masterpiece.

I have the Wii U version but I rarely touch the game as my hype with certain games quickly changed.

I'm looking forward to watching the show. Besides the maybe poor casting of Usopp (he might be funny but he sure doesn't look like Usopp) and the fact Arlong doesn't look very intimidating - I think it looks pretty good.

I'm only a few years older and managed to play most of those, the GameCube is hardly a relic

Could have easily have played them on a Wii (or PC...)

well now nintendo has to make a gamecube emulator on switch monkey d luffy asked for it

@Ooyah The Wink Waker makes me think of The Horse Whisperer

In my opinion, Wind Waker is easily the best game Nintendo has ever created. It is strange, in a way, that you can have a console as successful as Switch and not all Nintendo's best games are available for it. I know that used to be the way, but it really is time to make a continuous, backwards-compatible system (which I hope is what they've done). Switch 2 really needs HD versions of OOT, MM, WW and TP.

Wouldn't we all

Yeah we all need a remake of Ocarina and Majors- or create a game that makes the two into a one game. Beside Link has blue eyes and is left handed! This actor is a solid fit for Luffy, but not for Link at all!!!!

As a massive One Piece fan I think the article should focus on how terrible the movie looks not how to make more equally bad content.

Anime doesn’t always equate to good movies. I think Death Note is the exception to the rule.

To anyone wondering, One Piece is a series about pirates, and so the point of the article is about him wanting to play a game similar to the series he acts in. Like an actor in a courtroom drama wanting to play Ace Attorney.

"As for other GameCube titles like Super Mario Sunshine, Nintendo decided to offer this one as a "limited-time" game and has also re-released and remastered titles like Pikmin 1+2 and Metroid Prime on the Switch."

which one is "this one?" i think you mean Sunshine, but imo the wording makes it sound like theres another limited gamecube game "like sunshine" that you are referring to. 👍

I don’t think I ever played wind waker. But my brother played it a lot. And yeah can’t blame him for wanting to play some GameCube games since that console was a absolute gem.
(The live action one piece is going to be garbage because one piece is known for being pretty cartoony that live action can’t replicate.)

@blindsquarel Celebrity worship culture. That's why its news.

@blindsquarel

It isn't news. If it was news, it would be under the "news" banner. This is filed under "random", as it's a random Nintendo related story. You guys sure do love to complain

Well if he is an actor his focus likely hasn’t been on video games in a while plus his age so that makes sense. Kids focused on their future usually have to drop frivolous things in life.

@blindsquarel they are promoting a tv show. They probably have a publicist telling them to say something about video games - so they can in turn forward them to the blogs - the 100% target audience here. They may even write him a script honestly.

and here it is. your promotion is served.

Almost got into One Piece. Then I found out the name of the protagonist. Dodged a 1000-episode, life-consuming bullet with that one!

This is really interesting.

Oh, a live-action adaptation of an anime show on Netflix. What could go wrong? The idea of doing live-action adaptations of animation, especially Japanese properties, has always struck me as an odd notion, and it seems to have actually picked up steam more recently. Part of the appeal of animation is that it's not live action, and things that work in one don't work in the other. I know why they do it. It's an existing property so much of the creative work is already done, there's an existing audience for these properties in theory(not so much in practice much of the time), and live action is considered serious in the west while animation is viewed as for children, regardless of the subject matter. Still, I find it all unappealing. Good luck to them, I guess.

With that said, Gamecube was a really fun system and was the last home console I owned when it was current. Metroid Prime is the game that convinced me to get the system, and it was a fantastic experience. Wind Waker was also a top experience for me on the system. If this guy genuinely wants to go back to the Gamecube and it's not just a PR statement, I can see it because that's the generation when 3D games really started to be refined and turned into new and amazing experiences compared to what came before. And the cel shading of Wind Waker has aged very well.

@sdelfin I am really not feeling like watching a 1000 episodes, ESPECIALLY when 80% of that is filler. I had my fill with that when I tried watching Dragonball Z.

However, watching a 100 or so episodes unfold in about 12, sure.

Plus it looks pretty cool.

I also loved the live action Bleach adaptation. Really well done it was. US Death Note was alright too.

@Daniel36 if you liked the Death Note anime I would also recommend the live action Japanese Death Note adaptation movies. They follow the events much closer to the anime and manga up to a certain point until they decide to do their own thing, I won’t spoil it for you if you are interested. Also the Rurouni Kenshin movies are superb. They represent the template on how live action anime/manga adaptations should be handled. Not to say they aren’t without their faults, specifically in how they seriously sideline Sanosuke and Yahiko, but for condensing the first season into one movie and the second season into two those movies were fantastic

@Darthmoogle A good rule of thumb is, the more grounded the source material, the better the live action adaptation.

@Ooyah oh my goodness live action Ivan confirmed?

@Daniel36 The number of episodes is a fair point, though there's no telling if the storytelling for the adaptation will be up to par. But I wish you well if you're interested in seeing this.

I just know that the track record of live-action adaptations of anime is not good, whether that's the quality of the product, or it just fails to find an audience, partly because anime fans don't necessarily want to see live-action versions. We're not even a year removed from the high-profile failure of Netflix's own Cowboy Bebop. Given how long big productions take, I'm not sure there's been enough time for the producers to have learned from that disaster.

World’s smallest violin. I’m sure bro can quite easily afford a GameCube and some games on the paycheck(s) he got for his work on One Piece. Like a million other people, we’d love to see WW and TP on the Switch too...

I get it but I don't get it.

Remasters are great but nostalgia or curiosity always win in the end.

If you asked me to pick between the cloudy look of WWHD vs the simpler, more saturated look of the original, I would pick the latter without hesitation.

At least that's what I think he's saying.
Maybe the dude just wants to grasp a GC controller, in which case, I totally get it.

No. Stop. Don’t go there, in any way.

This punk was born after the GameCube released 💀💀💀 I'm gonna yell at that whippersnapper to get off my lawn

@ATHFjman18 This isn’t a sympathy piece and you think this 19 year old is rich after one season of a yet to be released Netflix show??? LMFAO

@Darthmoogle and @sdelfin The Cowboy Bebop adaptation shall never be spoken of again. That was an abomination. It was a true testament of how far removed some studios are from the source material.

For some reason I couldn't really get through Kenshin. It wasn't for me. I (shamefully admit I) sort of preferred Azumi over it, even though the second movie there was also a bit too slow for me.

Wasn't aware of a Japanese live action Death Note adaptation. Will check it out.

But I will say I am a big outlier anyways. I love the animé look, but I hate the forms of storytelling found within. I usually cannot stomach their forms of communication and I loathe the way they portray certain things, like fallibg in love and such.

I, personally, would prefer the remaster, but I do agree. More GCN games would be great.

@Aawill91 Nah, I know it’s a fluff piece. I was just being sarcastic. But anyone can easily Google a celebrity and see their prior work and current net worth, which is over $2 million. No doubt it’ll only go up if the show takes off. He most definitely has more money in the bank than I do.

Man wants to play classic video games. Colour me surprised! Honestly I thought that was about him wanting to play Link in a live action.

This is gonna be so bad.

@Daniel36 It's a valid point but watching the 1000 episodes themselves is what the fun is about. OP has a really goofy art style, VA and story. There is no need to "catch up" quick. The whole point is the goofiness.

My kids and I started watching them from Epi 1 last year....we are just over the 100th (where they get Chopper on board) and we love it. We take out time.

The filler in this cartoon is great. Some of the funniest episodes are the filler. For example there is a 2 episode arc where Buggy and the little dude stuck in the treasure chest chest get in adventures. It was so stupid and funny. Worth watching because the entire story I about being stupid. The biggest heroes in it are idiots and everyone watching it should happily be an idiot too.

I love One Piece.

@Milenko video on youtube have no sound and going in slowmotion

@talllennart yeah that's the best it can be emulated on the Switch currently

Of course he would, it's one of the most iconic series in gaming history. Like a lawyer saying he wouldn't mind a job at baker Mckenzie

It needs to be said, Luffy's actor is really hot. As someone who watched One piece in full 3 times I am excited to see this rendition. And Wind waker is such a gem but faces brutal competition for the top 5 spot.

@Daniel36 It's cool if you think 1,000 episodes is "too long" to watch... (which I do have to ask, how many series do you watch? If you watch 3 mediocre series that are 300 episodes each, or one AMAZING series that is 1,000 episodes, what is the difference?).

At any rate, where did you get your numbers from? "One Piece has 80% filler" is completely false and fabricated. I get you are trying to be dramatic and validate your decision to not watch the series, but that can't be further from the truth.

One Piece is an epic adventure regardless of filler, of which it only had 99 episodes worth when it was at episode 948. It is up over the 1,000's now and it still is hovering around that filler count which brings it to a whopping 10% of filler.

Wow! So much filler!

It's ok to not like something, but instead of putting a sheep opinion on something paired with false facts, how about just not say anything? Leave it to fans that have actually watched the series to comment on if it is any good or not.

@Daniel36 if you ever do decide to watch it, this site should help you skip the filler https://www.animefillerlist.com/shows/one-piece

@Milenko its ok and its great anyway and ive subscribe/liked your youtube video/channel

@GOmar I wasn't talking about filler episodes. Animé series are always full of conversations that end up saying in 10 sentences what could be said in one. That is what I am referring to.

And that is pretty much par for the course in animé, and like I said, while I adore the art style, the form of storytelling is just too stretched out for me. And it's a Japanese thing, at least in all the animé shows I've watched so far, they simply speak like that. Every other sentence starts with a variation of "In other words". It is long winded and to me annoying and takes me out of the story.

Personal opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. I didn't make my statements extra salty or overly dramatic, I was just stating a personal opinion on the backdrop of people wondering who this show was for.

It's for this reason I hardly watch any animé series any more. There's only so much time in a day. The ones with the best premises for me always end up having the same issues I have with other series.

But again, I am an outlier. I stated that pretty clearly. I know that. I know I am not the target demographic for 99.9% of the produced shows. Doesn't mean that doesn't bum me out. I wish there was an animé show that is EXACTLY the way I would like it to be. There never will be though. They will all have elements that will grind my gears to a halt.

But I am looking forward to watching this show with my kids, because it won't take me ages to go through. It also won't be exactly how I would like it to be, but I can accept it when it's short.

Again, all of this is a perfectly valid opinion of mine which clearly isn't yours, which is fine and which I never attacked nor will attack, because I am glad you enjoyed it so much.

@Daniel36 I had this article opened from earlier before subsequent commenting occurred, so I was only going off of your first comment which references none of that and only reads that One Piece specifically is 80% filler. That in no way reflects what you are saying here, that all anime is bloated narratively and contains too much or unnecessary exposition. That to me is way different than filler and I feel you are misusing the term. Maybe next time to avoid confusion I wouldn't use the word filler to describe your disinterest for the (sometimes) verbose exposition some anime have.

That is a problem with these comments since I directly replied to your first comment, but all it does is leave your name when I reply to you instead of quoting or at least referencing your comment number. Had I seen your other two comments saying you are an outlier and that you really just don't like anime series in general for those reasons then I would probably not have had said anything.

So sorry for the confusion on my end, but my point still stands that your initial comment was definitely easy to misconstrue since apparently you meant something different. And I am not a fan of perpetuating false facts (this one in particular has become a pet peeve of mine since it is becoming "believable" the longer the series goes on and more people spread it).

I do hope you can enjoy the live action One Piece, but honestly, there is no way they can craft the same bonds and characters in a sliver of the time compared to what the manga and anime has done. I really would suggest the manga versions for series you find to be difficult to get through as they tend to be way more succinct with faster pacing due to the nature of the medium (and your own reading speed).

@GOmar Yeah, the comment section system has its flaws, for sure.

No problem though.

I guess my definition of the word filler is indeed different from what it usually refers to, especially in animé. So I see what you mean.

But yeah, it's mostly the verbose (I like that term) exposition that takes me out. I remember the first time it happened. Dragonball Z. Fight with Freeza. "Will he be able to fire off the kamehameha or spirit bomb or whatever and defeat Freeza for good? Find out in the next exciting episode of... Dragonball Zeeeeeeee!"

And then they talk to each other for like 5 episodes straight, while firing up the energy beam. It was ridiculous.

And yeah, I was maybe a bit dramatic in how I portray these situations, but you catch my drift. It really is kinda like how it goes in these series.

I just rewatched the Bleach live action with my kids. Same thign applies. It goes through around 17 episodes. And they don't have to be THIS short for me, but it does tell me that they could easily turn those 17 in like 10, with a bit of editing, without removing any important bits.

But again, I am extremely nitpicky and hardly anything is good enough for me

@Daniel36 "But I will say I am a big outlier anyways. I love the animé look, but I hate the forms of storytelling found within."

I think I understand what you mean there. Anime has a lot of tropes that work against it. There's plenty of stuff I don't like. What I have found that works better for me is to just be really picky compared to in the past when choices were limited. One way that I do that is by focusing on old stuff, mostly 80s and 90s, which is more to my taste and tends to have better storytelling than later stuff, though that's not always the case. But I've found far more enjoyment doing that and there's still no shortage of stuff for me to watch.
