@Vexx2 because Hollywood doesn’t respect the medium. It’s competition. They think they can do it better, so they green light ***** scripts, thinking they’re embracing a game’s vibe rather than doing the IP’s justice.

Then during the marketing all they talk about how big fans they are of the source material.

It’s the same with comics. The quality was rather inconsistent until Marvel Studios came around.

Re: Random: Nintendo Has Already Let One Celebrity Play Pokémon Legends: Arceus

I don’t get the appeal of these expanded celebrity focused ad campaigns. I mean sure. They’re kind of like testimonials. Nintendo is clearly going after millennials with families right now (household of 6 all having a Switch is certainly more lucrative than selling 1 family 1 Wii), but I just don’t see it adding a whole lot of value. Oh well.

I'm trying to put myself in the shoes of a millennial mom, who has 10-12-year-olds being able to connect with Christina Aguilera playing Animal Crossing as her personal driver drives her home. I'm from that generation. I grew up in the 90s. My older sister liked her music. She also gamed on the side. IDK. lol it's weird.

I get the Brie Larson thing. They don't really show her celebrity lifestyle in the ads. If you didn't know who she was, she's just a person enjoying video games.
