I see. Well, but what if they continue to expand them laterally? Quality over quantity. They may introduce lots of characters in this one, but then maybe in the next one, we get to know some of them better or learn where they come from or something like that. Maybe Mario travels to Wart's homeland in the next movie, for instance. I don't think the story is trash. I'm not sure why people hate on it so much. For one thing, it's not like the games have this deep lore that the movies are not paying justice to. As we discussed. And Mario/Luigi go on the "Hero's Journey", which is the template for many of the stories we all enjoy. They're trying to simplify it to keep it for all ages. The story isn't breaking new ground, but it's completely fine, to me. Maybe/hopefully they will provide more depth in the Galaxy movie. That could be fun. It seems like there naturally will be, since there is some mystery to Rosalina, and Bowser Jr. has his motivations. I'm very excited for this. I really liked the first one. It was very fun. It doesn't seem like they're slowing down for the sequel.
I know most of the things on this app are throwaway posts, though sometimes the development art is neat to see. Evidently, they have a bottomless pit of that for Xenoblade, as well as everything Pikmin. But that aside, I do think the app is interesting in how versatilely they are using it. Some things are interactive, they stream Directs, now we have a collectible component. It's minor but still a curiosity to me.
Ooh, purdy! Yoshi seems to be the one they try different animation styles with. I mean, everyone gets different art styles, but Yoshi's been wooly, crafted, kind of clay, etc.
@The_Nintendo_Expat Right, it can backfire if nobody likes the game. But then who's fault is that really? It still directly exposes a lot more people to a game than it would otherwise. I've definitely added to my wishlist from demos.
How dare he! I only speak AMERICAN! Let's see how you like more tariffs, Horii-san! I'll probably get skewered by the press for that. We can't say "Hor" anymore.
Ooh boy, that's a big file. At least compared to what they usually are for Nintendo. Price is fine. Hopefully, this all means it will be a meaty experience.
"Mr. E." 🤦🏼♂️ I like how the narrator goes, "Let's try eating it." Obviously the first thing you would do. Kids, don't try that at home. What I really want to know is if we'll be able to bring our named creature friends into the next generation of Yoshi games. Nay, I demand it!
All that aside, this looks like it will be really fun. At least for me. I hope I'm right!
@captaintoadette I hope you won't take this as a ruthless attack. I'm merely offering a counter-argument to your point.
I think it's odd how many people seem hung up on the games that Nintendo is "adapting" for this film. As if the games all have this connected storyline throughout that must be followed chronologically. There are basic story notes in the Mario series, in that Mario and Co. are often facing off against Bowser and his accomplices and usually to rescue Peach and/or other allies. And that's about it. They're creating mostly original stories for these movies, while maintaining some established characteristics and scenarios from the games. I would say that this is a "Galaxy" movie because they are taking it to space and introducing Rosalina. But I think calling it that doesn't mean that this will be an adaptation of the Galaxy game(s). It just allows them to expand the universe, pun intended. My guess is that the different galaxies they will visit allows for Nintendo to show the different worlds they have created in all their games and gives them a way to connect them all, sort of like the way that the MCU does with the multiverse or even just space.
@CaleBoi25 It's a tiny little poster sticking up off of a roof. Rectangular. I'm not sure if they zoomed in more to get a better look. I can see the shape of King Boo, but it's very small in my view of it.
@KevinP They're obviously done with Mario games now. How do you release a console for nearly a whole year and not even mention one?!?!?!?! We only get Mario movies from here on out. Zelda's next. And tickets will be $80.
@PepperMintRex Well, because they are hosting a presentation of the trailers. I'm sure they'll say some words and mention some other things. I bet they'll inform us that the first movie is making its TV premiere for MAR10, so we can catch up before Galaxy. But I get what you're saying. It makes it seem like we should have similar expectations to their big game showcases.

Re: Devolver's New 'Dungeon Scroller', Dark Scrolls, Is Packed With Retro Fantasy Goodness
@Zeeba Oh, multiplayer? I know. It seems like no one cares to add matchmaking except for big online games where that is largely the focus.
Re: Shenmue III Enhanced Is Coming To Switch 2, Physical Editions Confirmed
Never played these games. But I'm pretty sure they've never been on a Nintendo platform, so that's largely why.
That figure is hilarious.
Re: Devolver's New 'Dungeon Scroller', Dark Scrolls, Is Packed With Retro Fantasy Goodness
@neogyo Oh, I hadn't heard of that one. Looks great, too! That does sound like a good deal.

@neogyo Same, though I played the demo for Gunbrella. It was great.
Re: Devolver's New 'Dungeon Scroller', Dark Scrolls, Is Packed With Retro Fantasy Goodness
This looks great! Probably just online co-op with friends though?

Seems like a demo would be good for this one.
Re: Nintendo Expands Switch 2's GameCube Library This Week
@Robot99 Oh geez, it sounds like maybe I had better wait. I've never played either of these games. Thanks for sharing that with me!

Okay but, should I wait to play this after they release Colosseum?

Re: ICYMI: Nintendo's Dishing Out Mario Galaxy Movie Digital Collectible Cards
I know most of the things on this app are throwaway posts, though sometimes the development art is neat to see. Evidently, they have a bottomless pit of that for Xenoblade, as well as everything Pikmin.
But that aside, I do think the app is interesting in how versatilely they are using it. Some things are interactive, they stream Directs, now we have a collectible component. It's minor but still a curiosity to me.
Re: Yoshi And The Mysterious Book's Switch 2 Box Art Is Suitably Adorable
Ooh, purdy! Yoshi seems to be the one they try different animation styles with. I mean, everyone gets different art styles, but Yoshi's been wooly, crafted, kind of clay, etc.

This is valid. And almost like the situations unfairly favor the corporations, and they know it. 🤔

It's 18+, so you have to build a big, black bar as part of the set.

Thank you for the review! I think I need to get this. It is on sale for a limited time right now, too!
But yeah, I'm sure I won't be able to tackle all of the solutions without help.

Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Gets Yet Another New Poster, And It's Jam-Packed With Details
@The_Nintendo_Expat QED!
I think we're maybe taking that comment a bit too seriously.
Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Gets Yet Another New Poster, And It's Jam-Packed With Details
@CaleBoi25 It's a tiny little poster sticking up off of a roof. Rectangular. I'm not sure if they zoomed in more to get a better look. I can see the shape of King Boo, but it's very small in my view of it.
Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Gets Yet Another New Poster, And It's Jam-Packed With Details
@MamaSymphonia Aren't most "portraits" very similar?
Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Gets Yet Another New Poster, And It's Jam-Packed With Details
@lyle_catcliffe You think Marvel is responsible for this style of movie poster? Maybe look at more movie posters...
Re: Nintendo Direct For The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Announced

Re: Nintendo Direct For The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Announced
@PepperMintRex Well, because they are hosting a presentation of the trailers. I'm sure they'll say some words and mention some other things. I bet they'll inform us that the first movie is making its TV premiere for MAR10, so we can catch up before Galaxy.
But I get what you're saying. It makes it seem like we should have similar expectations to their big game showcases.
