@Crockin The Last of Us and Metal Gear Solid should take notes.
Videogames are ALREADY another medium for telling stories. It's fair to compare their plots with movies'.
Mario has never been complex in gaming. No reason for it to be complex in a movie.
Also, Shigeru Miyamoto worked closely with Ilumination. Is it wrong if the actual, actual, creator of Mario and Donkey Kong gave the green light to this? So, the Mario father doesn't know his characters enough. Shame on him.
You'll find references even in old movies. Cord phones all over the place, ringing Alexander Graham Bell every painful second. Guns referencing the US 2nd ammendment. And pianos referencing Beethoven!
@RubyCarbuncle Yeah. I'd prefer a Mario movie that had nothing to do with any Mario characters and was actually about a dog named Mario that ate squirrels.
Don't let me get started on how The Last of Us HBO series is full of references to The Last of Us game. Shameful!
@CharlieGirl Mario, the game character, by itself would be a big commercial skit, even WITHOUT cameos. The movie by itself is and would be a big commercial no matter how many cameos or references to games were in there.
Unless it wasn't about Mario, the game character, but about Mario, the artistic performer in the streets of God knows where.
See? It's easy. Also don't buy games you dislike the price. Easy, right?
I'm not defending the price increase. Just saying the common sense thing. If you can't pay an extra USD$10, you got more serious problems to watch out for than gaming.
I know for sure I wouldn't buy a game If it meant STARVING.
You cannot blame fans of a series of books and movies for liking a game.
Shakespeare should also be banned from all media, since he was a fricking racist man. If a games contains something inspired by Shakespeare like a reference to "To be or not to be" or whatever? Banned from sale.
75% of schools in USA should be banned because they teach Shakespeare.
SMBP left my house an absolute MESS! I would have given them only 1 star, but my sweet angel of a dog absolutely loved them. He just wouldn’t leave them alone!
A PDP licensed Wii Fight Pad Pro and an 8bitdo Gbros adapter has been working wonders for me.
The Gbros adapter is hard to get right now, but it works great if you can get it (virtually no lag) with a Wii Classic ProController, which does have ZL, ZR and Minus.
Can't you pay an extra hour of work? USD$10 is common for a 1 hour of work. Even if not well paid (restaurant employee), that would be 2 or 3 hours of work.
If you can't pay that, you shouldn't game at all, and better keep yourself away from starving. Use the money for buying food.
@Old_Man_Nintendo So, is Jack Black secretly a giant talking turtle?
Wow, I didn't know voice actors always look like who their interpret. It explains why Thanos' VA in Avengers movies could only be Thanos himself. There aren't many purple alien people out there, you know.

@Pickettfury Shigeru Miyamoto has been working closely with Ilumination for years.
I don't think that'll happen.

@Kirby_Girl Don't watch any movie at all.

Movies have been a joke since forever.

@reporterdavid I like the Spanish voices.
English sound always weird.
Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of The Super Mario Bros. Movie Are In
@Crockin Any existing Mario game got a good enough story for you?

Re: Poll: How Many 3DS Consoles Have You Owned?
I had a 3DS XL. It was my first 3DS console.
And a 2DS XL I got after that 3DS XL broke.
It costed the equivalent of USD$350 where I live. I can't get 5 of them at once like most people here, it seems.
Re: Bowser Defends $70 Zelda Pricing, Nintendo Still "Very Bullish" About Switch
@Pat_trick I mean a Physical Cartridge. Everything digital should be free in My opinion. Even modern games.
Re: Bowser Defends $70 Zelda Pricing, Nintendo Still "Very Bullish" About Switch
@Matl Don't buy games you don't like.

Re: Bowser Defends $70 Zelda Pricing, Nintendo Still "Very Bullish" About Switch
@Ade117 So graphics and textures dictates value?
Do you have any NES Game cartridge for free then, please?
Also, maybe throw a Gamecube game for USD$1, while you are at it.
Re: Bowser Defends $70 Zelda Pricing, Nintendo Still "Very Bullish" About Switch
@Pat_trick So, bigger textures mean pricier?
SNES games should be USD$5 in eBay then, I guess?
Re: Bowser Defends $70 Zelda Pricing, Nintendo Still "Very Bullish" About Switch
@Matl If people can't pay a single Starbuck's coffee worth, they shouldn't be gaming at all.
Videogames are a luxury, not a basic need. If you struggle without USD$10, please use them for NOT STARVING, instead of getting gaming consoles.
Re: Video: Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe Side-By-Side Graphics Comparison (Switch & Wii)
Ugly design for Dedede.
The original design looks like its amiibos. The new version doesn't.
Won't play the Switch versión until they patch the old model in.
Re: Looks Like Pokémon Trading Already Works On Switch Online's GB & GBA Emulator
@CharlieGirl They will disable those features once they release officially, of course.
They did remove save states from 3DS releases of Pokemon GB and GBC games and they made local multiplayer possible on them.
Re: Video: MVG Investigates Switch Online's "Impressive" Game Boy & GBA Emulation
I don't get why none has commented on MULTIPLAYER being present.
They never did that in 3DS Virtual Console, or any other virtual console, aside of Pokémon Games.

Re: Wait, Did Square Enix Just Tease A Final Fantasy Tactics Remaster?
@gsilver With an Android or iOS device that can connect to the TV using HDMI, you may play it on 1080p with a Bluetooth controller.

Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie Plumbing Commercial & Website Launched
@PinderSchloss Depends what you talk about. If you say the plumbing pun in-universe, yes.
If you mean how actual Super Mario Bros./Nintendo drain our bank accounts, I don't think so.
Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie Plumbing Commercial & Website Launched
This is probably a clip from the movie before Mario gets into the Mushroom Kindgom. It's a fast way to show what they did for a living.
Re: How To Make Metroid Prime Remastered Work With A GameCube Controller
It sounds probable they will add official Gamecube controller support, after they did so for Mario Sunshine in the 3D Collection.

Re: Zelda: A Link To The Past's Code Has Been Reverse-Engineered And Unofficially Enhanced
@MetalKingShield While I know it's not the same, ALBW is already good enough as an improved ALttP.
It's even called ALttP 2 in Japan (Kamigami no Triforce 2, but whatever).
Re: Random: Fire Emblem Engage Lead VA Struggled To Buy A Special Edition Copy Of The Game
For a moment I thought the article was about the Japanese VA. I got to infere it talks about the "English" voice VA.
Re: Poll: Kazuya & Sephiroth Smash amiibo Now Available, Will You Be Getting Them?
"No because they are not sold where I live" should be an option.
Re: Kirby Gains New Copy Abilities For Return To Dreamland Deluxe
@KBuckley27 It's like in movies.
Why go to a movies theater to pay a lot of money for watching those Disney rehashes?
Well, because you like the Disney movies, even if the rehashes are not very good. And also, there's people that may not have watched the original one.
It's the same with this.
Re: Ash's Pokémon Send-Off Will See The Return Of Brock And Misty

Re: Ash Ketchum VA Shares Another Message Of Thanks Ahead Of Character's Final Chapter
You should also cover other languages' voice actors tweets.
This is Latin American Spanish, for one: https://twitter.com/GaboRamos/status/1604186706722230272
Also, there's @mikeleaal in Instagram (second voice actor in Latin American Spanish), but he only posted a story, which already disappeared as of this article:

Re: Random: After 25 Years, Ash Ketchum Is Now The Very Best, Like No One Ever Was
@calbeau This is an anime made for kids. It's just to have a familiar character there, and that's it.
I know it's not exactly the same, but Simpsons have not aged in +30 years and none bats an eye.
Re: Random: After 25 Years, Ash Ketchum Is Now The Very Best, Like No One Ever Was

It would be 22 years instead of 25.
