Ugh, tough choice, especially if you count a lot of Zelda's songs are really good, but I'll have to choose Ballad of the Goddess from Skyward Sword. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcIM4YdGBMA
This was just a publicity stunt, looking to get clicks and subscribers from young people that are still amazed by this kind of stunt. And call me old fashioned, but using a brand that is known to attract children and show porn, that's not cool, at all.
I'll read reviews and of course check some videos, but I think I'll pass on this game. Arceus already gave me the fresh pokemon game I was looking for. This feels like almost the same as before.
@Nerdling Hehe yeah, half an hour of Mario's voice would be more than enough before someone goes crazy. And don't get me started when they start crying about stereotypes, they would start canceling him before the movie title comes up.
Pratt will be fine, he already did a really good job in the Lego movie, where he was an average joe, and here he's going to act another one. I'm so ready for this movie!
@Andy_Witmyer Exactly. I love Martinet's Mario voice, it's iconic. But after half an hour of hearing full sentences in that voice, a lot of people that are not Nintendo fans would've complained about it. And they won't risk an Italian accent because people would target them for cultural appropriation or something similar. Pratt's voice is very generic, like an everyman, and it works for the character, I mean, he already voiced a character that was an average joe in Lego Movie, so yeah, his voice works. But since these days is "cool" to hate him, people are just going crazy about it, and to be honest, for me it's just stupid.
What I wonder is if the move Mario design will be used for reference in future games. So far it looks really good, so maybe they'll tweak Mario in games so he can look more like in the movie.
Well of course in other languages his voice sounds better, it's made by professional voice actors. Pratt may have acting skills, but I don't think voice acting is one of them.
I think his voice works fine, everybody is just making a huge fuzz about it.
He sounds just like an everyman, and I think that's perfect for the character. If he spoke with the high-pitched voice of Martinet, a lot of people would complain about it, if he had an accent you can bet somebody would hunt any kind of mistake in his pronunciation and make a huge fuzz about it. I think they went the safest route, a generic American voice with no accent that can trigger anyone.
Looks really good, obviously Jack Black and Keegan Michael Kay sound great as their characters, Pratt sounds like Pratt and I actually don't see anything wrong about it, sounds like the everyman, which Mario is.
Voulez-Vous as a Roger Moore era Bond theme, now that I think of it, it actually makes a lot of sense, and it would be much better than some of the Bond songs from that period.
How many people can sing at the same time? I remember Rockband Beatles four could sing but man, four singing in harmony was easier said that done, and pretty fun too.
I'm ready for it, I enjoyed the first game a lot, so I have high hopes for this one. I know is not relevant to this news, but it's amazing that we're getting a sequel to this game and we still don't know when will the sequel of Hollow Knight arrive.
I think this was just miscommunication, and maybe even a little extra from Kit and Krysta. Players have been known to create challenges to games they have mastered just for fun, like RE4 with only a handgun or knife or any Zelda with just three hearts. We even got a game based on that principle, Super Mario Maker. I'm pretty sure the suits of the company didn't know the term Nuzlocke, didn't bother to investigate, and just said no.
I'm actually thorn, I was planning to buy FE Three Houses, but this one was announced, so I think I'll wait for a couple of reviews before I get either this one or Three Houses.
I loved Symphonia so much that I bought Vesperia without hesitation, still in my backlog waiting for mr to play it hehe. But I'll be getting Symphonia again, really liked the game.
@Ryu_Niiyama I was actually thinking about that, the demo will determine if I get the game or not. I know I have a good internet, but no idea how it will work with a switch could game.
This is one of those moments where I wish we could rent video games as before. We could try games that you wouldn't buy but still enjoy them for the couple of days the rental lasted.
@KingMike makes sense, after all, if you don't pay the bank, you can make jail time. Still, it's a shame for the customers, and I think for the developers too. I don't think you get into video games to make an easy dollar, you really have to like them.
I wonder if we'll ever get the whole story about it. I want to believe that it wasn't just greed and that they stole the money, but that there were unavoidable problems in the company that prevented them from even giving people their proper refund.
This happened before, the hype from a "reliable" source about the legendary switch ports for these games. The same has happened with the Metroid Prime trilogy, a lot of sources almost swore we would get them for sure years ago. I'll be really happy if they happen, but I'll keep business as usual until an official announcement.
Marvel vs Capcom 2 was the peak of that crossover, after that, it wasn't the same. Capcom has so many characters from its games, that they can easily make a 3v3 fighting game with a big roster and still have DLC characters too keep adding for a while.
Now that is going to be interesting, I know that China has a lot of loopholes regarding copyright, they are the kings of brand copy paste. And Nintendo Is well known for protecting its IP’s.
Ok, so this is like Super Puzzle Fighter, where the attacks your character makes depend on your action on the puzzle, in this case the beats. This has potential to be really good.
ABBA is actually quite fun for karaokes, and they do have good song. But I prefer rock, and the last music game I bought was RockBand, my friends, sisters and I used to have lots of fun playing the Beatles and normal version of the game.
Not gonna lie, this game keeps gettng better with each trailer they release. I do wonder how it will look/play on Switch. But definitely looks like a day 1 for me.
@Krambo42 @Friendly oh I remember those games, they were awesome and quite challenging too, Dead Valley Rally and Duck Dodgers were so good, Rabbit Rampage was the only one I didn't finished, that Coyote scene was tough.
Everything looks great, except for the legendaries design and the Terastal forms, but still not sure if I would get it. I think I had my Pokemon fix from Arceus, Scarlet/Violet look great but I dunno, something is missing that makes me want the game.
@Krull awesome, that is great to hear. I wouldn't mind if I had to have previous knowledge of the other games, but if this is a stand-alone story, even better. Definitely will get it this weekend, thanks!
@miwa they put then on the Wii U eshop, I wonder what's stopping them from doing the same for the switch. Maybe when next D&D movie comes out, they'll do it.
The best part of the show was Lance Reddick as Wesker, his story adds an interesting spin on the character we have known for a while. And call me crazy, but I do enjoy the RE movies from Milla, they are fun, I just take them as a spin story to the original game canon, which I have played and love.
Ok, just finished the whole season, and I liked the series as a zombie series, but I don't see it as Resident Evil.
Loved Albert Wesker and Evelyn Marcus, I could watch a whole season of just them creating the whole T-virus.
And I just hate Jade, how many times does she has to mess it up.
I think season two can be better if they focus more on the horror theme.
@WreckitRyan now that and Diddy Kong Racing would be the only reasons I would buy the expansion pack. DK64 was a blast to play, loved every single character.
@BabyYoda71 Oh definitely, that's the safest bet, if it sounds american they'll complain that is not italian, and that's it. If they make it Italian, they are going to analize every single word and try to find where they made a mistake, and then somebody will complain that as an italian, they feel ofended. I know, it sounds ridiculous, but that can happen.
Works perfectly for small sentences, words, or expressions. For a full-length movie, it would be really tiring, I can almost hear the complaints about how he's making fun of italian accents.
