When it comes to Sonic games, it doesn't matter who is developing them, if SEGA rushes the games out.

Took them long enough to finally realize that fans want new things.

It is always Sonic... how about a remake of Skies of Arcadia? Or a new Billy Hatcher, Nights, Jet Set Radio, Space Channel 5 or anything that isn't Sonic?

This is why modern gaming really sucks. You really have to wait until the game finally is playable, even if the game is on the market for months.

Everything from this franchise is horrific. But somehow, people love it.

I don't want to spoil myself, but can some just answer me this question with either yes or no: “Does this game have traditional dungeons?”

@Sequel
If this is true, let's hope that Shigeru Miyamoto prefers crocodiles to demon gorillas, wooden drums and walruses.

The old show isn't that bad. The animation is really uncanny, but we have to remember, that this was one of the very first 3D animated series for television.

@gloom
That is 3D animation. The cel-shaded 3D models are just rendered in a way to give the illusion of 2D.

Except for Krusha's voice actor, Len Carlson. He sadly passed away in 2006. As for the animated short, this was such a delight. I can not believe, how much effort fans sometimes put into these fan projects. I really hope Nintendo will realize soon, that DKC fans actually like K. Rool and the Kremling Krew and only see them as the true main bad guys of this franchise.

Of course, they can always switch the enemies, but so far, all of them were a disappointment. The evil Kongs from DK: Jungle Beat were just evil Kongs and nothing more, the Tikis from DKCR were unique and creative, but lack personality and charm, and the Snowmads from DKC:TF, especially their leader, feel more like Arctic and Antarctic versions of the Kremlings.

Only a handful. But those days are over. DreamWorks is probably the only big Animation Studio left, that can tell decent stories.

Although, the film is nothing more than an average kids film that is only so successful because of the Mario IP attached to it, it is still miles better than the animated stuff Hollywood produced the last years. Anyone remembers Strange World?

Is King K. Rool actually a real royal? Since he has definitely some sort of split personality disorder, it might be possibly that he just made his royalty up like everything else.

Imagine if this will become the most successful animated film of all time. Maybe it will inspire other companies to go the same route.

Well, in the end, it still made over a billion dollars. Imagine, if people didn't have the chance to watch it illegally. Mabe the film would have even reached 2 billions by now.

I'm not surprised by this. Nintendo and Illumination did a great marketing campaign for this film, Mario is one of the most well-known franchises in the world, and it is just pure fun, while most other modern animated films are not.

No Kremlings again? Seriously, why does Nintendo hate them so much? If they really do not want to use them any more, Nintendo can just sell them to Microsoft. There are rumours going around of a revival of the Banjo-Kazooie games. Maybe K. Rool can have a guest appearance there.

@ChromaticDracula
They have done this since Generation, technically already with Sonic 4. Reminding fans how good Sonic was in the past is the only way to keep the franchise alive.

@TYRANACLES
Forget X-Men. Since Disney is in charge, it will most likely be about social issues and not about superheroes saving the day.

@Barbiegurl777
No, it comes out this year. They even released a trailer last week.

@Mauzuri
I can see the appeal of this show. Probably one of the main reasons people have a DeviantArt account.

Everything that was popular is coming back. We are still in this reboot phase, where no one really is interested in new ideas. Heck, TMNT and Tiny Toons are both getting reboots this year. And Darkwing Duck, Daria, and Futurama are also getting reboots/revivals in the near future as well.

I see the same five Kongs again and again. I know, that they are the most important ones, but I wouldn't mind seeing Kiddy, Wrinkly, Swanky, Tiny, Lanky, and Chunky again. Thank god, the the Mario Film gave some of them a bit of love.

I only know a handful of these songs. I'm so old…

I stopped reading the reviews of critiques. There are no “real” critiques left. Most people give a film or a book a score based on their own agendas.

I thought he already wrote the story for the base game. In the end, it doesn't matter, who is writing the story, because the writers have to follow the rules of the executives.

Rare was my video game childhood. Such an inspiring company. R.I.P.

@Linnybhoy
Have you seen a recent Disney/Pixar film? That's why!

Illumination Films usually pass 1 billion or come very close to this number. Nintendo and Illumination also really did a great marketing campaign for this film, as both typically do for their products. Mario is also one of the most well-known IPs on this planet. People recognize him more than Mickey Mouse. Plus, a lot of parents will not take their kids any more to see a Disney/Pixar film, therefore one of the biggest competitors is out of the race.

I really wish, Gamefreak would do more games than just Pokémon. This is sadly what happens, if you create a super successful franchise, you do not need to have others any more. SONIC TEAM has the same issues, why reboot and bring back stuff such as Nights or Billy Hatcher, if you still can milk Sonic.

Now, Sonic fans can finally have a piece of Sonic inside them.

Donkey Kong Country, just so they can bring back some lost characters. You have no idea, how happy I was to finally see Swanky Kong and Chunky Kong again. Imagine how well of a job they would do, by bringing K. Rool, and the animal buddies back.

But also Star Fox would fit quite well with them, since they already did films with talking animals. Illumination is the only company, that can make a blockbuster with a new IP. If they make a Star Fox film, that millions of people will see, Star Fox could become another strong series again for Nintendo.

I would not be surprised, if the Super Mario Bros. Film will become one of the Top 10 highest grossing animated films of all time.

This should have been one of the first trailers, not one of the last.

@ThaBEN
He is actually a mascot for Disney. He was never in a film before.

Without the Game Boy compatibility, I'm not sure how fun this game actually can be. You just can use Pokémon, that are already programmed for it.

Not everything needs to be explained. This is something I hate so much about modern fiction. Everything needs to have a scientific explanation. No wonder a lot of these miserable, nihilistic, cynical critiques review-bombed the Mario film.

Why do modern games always have to add things, that might improve the experience, much later? This is one of the reason I hate modern gaming so much.

I really miss the old cartoony style of Rare

Hopefully DK get his own film. But please, Nintendo, make King K. Rool the main antagonist, not Tiki Tong. Not even DK fans care about this character.

Typically, for Hollywood. The same thing they also did with the people who worked on Sausage Party.

Well, it is Mario, after all. I mean, it is probably the least story driven game Nintendo has right after Nintendogs and Wii Fit. DKC, Zelda, Metroid, Kirby, Star Fox, F-Zero work much better for a film.

I wouldn't be surprised, if Super Mario Bros. will become the most successful film of 2023: It had a huge marketing campaign behind it, everyone knows exactly what they will get out of it, and also parents will go and see it with their kids because there are no politics in it – minus boss girl Peach, but also she is not a big deal.

Those are probably paid reviewers, we have to see what the general audience have to say. And real people that enjoy films, not these cynical ***** that complain about every small detail.

@AlexanderDaniels
Mobile games don't count.

Why is the mobile game getting all the good stuff? I want to play as Poochy, Dixie, Funky, Pauline, and many others in an official Mario Kart game.

It will most likely be Rosalina. A Luma will appear in this film and Peach mentions, in the trailer, that there are any other galaxies out there.

All characters he voiced so far are just him.

• When Banjo-Kazooie does this mechanic, everyone hates it.
• When Zelda does it, everyone loves it.

Taste sure can change quite fast.

Well, no SEGA can exists with out having the Blue Blur as a guest character. I would have rather seen Ulala. She would actually fit with the theme of the game.
