@Ferdinand_Von_Aegir Mate I feel your pain in a way. There is nothing worse than trying something everyone is raving about only for it to not be your thing. I have the same problem with Ocarina Of Time, I just can't get into it.
@Bass_X0 Yeah I've heard that argument a lot and I can see the thought process. But do you really think people would buy EVERY game on the service? Half the games on there are ones the general public doesn't even know about. I think it would be much better to buy the games you want, and them have them. Basically it's all subjective, but put simply I don't think the service is suddenly worth it because it has NES tennis and pinball. Also the prices vary per person, but for me on Wii U I could get all the N64 games I wanted for 20 dollars, on Switch I'd have to pay 80 dollars every year and then one day they'll just disappear.
@johnvboy These are just my opinions so far, a "first impression" if you will. The Mario voice isn't objectively bad or anything, I personally am not a fan but everyone can like what they want . Here's to hopping the voice pleases more people in the future!
@johnvboy Charles Martinet would have been a mistake, but I do wish he got an actor with more of a blend between the high energy Mario from the games and the more monotone Mario from the trailer. I really hope the story is loosely based on the Super Mario Adventures comic, I think it had a lot of great ideas and I love the characterization everyone has.
Everything was stellar, but (of course) Chris Pratts voice. Other than that the trailer pretty much blew me away. Needed more Luigi though, he didn't even talk.
@GoshJosh True xD The line "Open the gates!" really sounded good, but when he says "I do not" it just sounds like Jack Black to me. Still I think it was pretty good, definitely better than Chris Pratt at least.
@GoshJosh I really didn't like the idea of Jack Black as bowser. I think he did a good job, Bowser doesn't really have a defined voice and I think he's doing his best with what he's got.
@johnvboy You know I thought the same thing. But after the announcement Chris Pratt was voicing Mario I asked a bunch of people at my church about it and they all said the same thing. "What? Isn't he supposed to be Italian?". They don't play video games at all, it definitely wont bug them as much but they still found it strange.
@johnvboy Of course nothing is set in stone, they can do whatever with his voice. But people would probably be upset if he doesn't sound Italian since that's pretty accepted at this point. I personally don't want Chris Pratt to do an Italian accent because I think it would sound horrible. I would rather he do his normal voice and embrace how stupid this whole thing is.
@Dr_Lugae Dude, No I am not kidding, it's called an opinion try not to get too offended by it. Mario pretty much has two canon voices, one's an Italian accent, the other is a Brooklyn accent. I personally don't believe Chris Pratt could pull off either of them well. He doesn't have much of a range, he sounds the same in every movie he's in. My issue is that Chris Pratt was clearly hired because he's popular and not because he's fit for the roll. Hell, he's even going to be playing Garfield who is anything but an everyman. Chris Pratt is literally training with a speech therapist to get his voice to sound good, that's pretty ridiculous in my opinion. Instead of hiring someone who can actually pull of a Mario voice, they hired Chris Pratt because he's a popular celebrity and are training him to sound different. Worst case scenario he will just sound like normal Chris Pratt. Best case scenario he won't sound like Chris Pratt at all. Either one raises the question as to why he was hired at all. I never said the movie was going to be bad or anything, I just said Chris Pratt was incorrectly casted in my opinion. The movie could be good in spite of that, just like it could be good in spite of Illumination's track record. I don't think anything I said is "needlessly cynical" it's just an opinion opposing to yours.
I can't help but feel like even he knows he was incorrectly cast. I have basically never heard of an actor so consistently being like "No guys I promise my voice is good! I swear I'll do a good job"
EDIT: Wow he sounds like normal Chris Pratt. "Unlike anything you've ever heard" huh.
The environment is simple amazing. But I'm not a big fan of Mario's design. His butt looks really strange, and his hands are really small. It will probably just take some getting used to.
@OnlyItsMeReid For sure. It's literally baffling to me he doesn't say anything. It's literally content creator 101, all he has to do is say "hey, please don't leak my home adress and draw sexual art of me and my friends!".
I love how in the reveal he says the fans are "a little bit much" sometimes. Why does he have to keep underplaying how dangerous these people are? They literally doxxed him and his family members and all he has to say is it's "a little bit much". Man I am so sick of this guy.

Re: Nintendo Expands Its Switch Online N64 Service With Two More Titles
I really wish they would just make it so you can buy games individually and release all they have instead of drip feeding it.

@johnvboy Oh definitely, it's always so nice talking to someone capable of nice conversation on the internet
Re: Chris Pratt Hypes The Super Mario Bros. Movie (Again), Says It's "Very Special"
@johnvboy Saying anything like this is objectively bad is stupid. This is an opinion based thing, and it's nice to hear others side

Re: Poll: So, What’s Your Verdict On The Mario Movie Trailer?
Everything was stellar, but (of course) Chris Pratts voice. Other than that the trailer pretty much blew me away. Needed more Luigi though, he didn't even talk.

I was really hoping he wouldn't sing, but oh well. At least a lot of people are happy about it...
Re: Chris Pratt Hypes The Super Mario Bros. Movie (Again), Says It's "Very Special"
@johnvboy Wasn't saying it was definitive. Those were just the opinions of everyone I've asked so far.

Re: Chris Pratt Hypes The Super Mario Bros. Movie (Again), Says It's "Very Special"
@Anti-Matter I think it will sound like boring ass Chris Pratt with a kinda shotty Italian accent.
