Re: Feature: A Link To The Past's Dark World Changed Zelda Forever

Smashmatt202

I hate that the first thing I thought of when I saw this title was how during an episode of Game Grumps, Arin dismissed Ocarina of Time's time travel mechanic of being new because he apparently thought you were traveling through time in A Link to the Past, since, in his own words, "that's why it's called 'A Link to the Past'".

Remarkable that despite liking that game and playing it a lot, he somehow completely missed that the Dark World is a completely separate place (also A Link to the Past was just the English name, the original Japanese name doesn't mention time at all; it was ゼルダの伝説 神々のトライフォース The Legend of Zelda: Triforce of the Gods).

Re: "Dreams Come True": Chris Pratt Talks About His New Role As Super Mario

Smashmatt202

Chris Pratt has now joined Harris Shore, Larry Moran, Peter Cullen, Tōru Furuya, Captain Lou Albano, Walker Boone, John Lenahan, Ronald B. Ruben, Takeshi Aono, Bob Hoskins, Marc Graue, Nicholas Glaeser, Gorō Inagaki, Takashi Okamura, Kazunari Ninomiya, and of course, the one and only Charles Martinet as one of the many, many, MANY people who have portrayed Mario over the years.

Re: Super Mario Bros. Movie Might Be Directed By The Teen Titans Go! Creators

Smashmatt202

It makes sense that they'd highly Teen Titans Go! because that's their biggest and most relevant success, but it's worth noting the credits for at least one of the TTG showrunners, Michael Jelenic, who was a writer/storyboard artist for Jackie Chan Adventures and The Batman, and was also also co-showrunner/co-developer of the 2011 ThunderCats reboot. He also co-developed Batman: The Brave and the Bold, as well as moved based on that property in addition to bring a writer/producer for the animated movies based on the Batman 1960's Adam West TV series (noticing a lot of Batman in this guy's filmography...). Heck, even when you take Aaron Horvath into account, Teen Titans Go! To The Movies was actually surprisingly fun, so it's not like this duo is incapable of making a good, enjoyable produce together.

...Maybe I'm giving too much benefit of the doubt here, especially given that it's still Illumination, the studio that makes the Minions movies and tends to only make "okay at best" movies, there is a LOT going against this movie, even with Shigeru Miyamoto directing producing and overseeing things. I still say we should wait until we actually see what it looks like before assuming the worst, but then again, maybe I'm just being overly optimistic here.

Re: Video: 'The Frog For Whom The Bell Tolls', Link’s Awakening’s Hidden Predecessor

Smashmatt202

Not to be pedantic about this kind of thing, but "Sablé" pronounced "sab-lay", and also, this wasn't specified in the video so I don't know if Jon was aware of this or not, but "Prince Sablé" isn't his name, he's the prince of the Sablé Kingdom. He technically doesn't have a name, since you name him in the game. Just FYI.

Regardless of any of that, though, This game is magical, I don't think any Nintendo game has truly captured how uniquely fun and light-hearted it is. It really is in well-need of a remake, just so Nintendo has the excuse to finally release it outside of Japan.

Re: Stand-Up Comedian Reveals His Role In The Upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie

Smashmatt202

Actor and comedian Sebastian Maniscalco will be playing Foreman Spike, HELL YEAH! Probably my favorite obscure Mario character (usually Wart and even Tatanga get more love in comparison). Of course, he didn't explicitly say "Foreman Spike", he just said "Spike, their [the Mario brothers] boss", which honestly fits Foreman Spike's description better than any other "Spike" in the Mario franchise. Either way, I hope that in the movie proper, he's portrayed with a beard like in the first Wrecking Crew and Mobile Golf, as opposed to Wrecking Crew '98, where he just looks like a buff Waluigi.

Re: Nintendo Is Shutting Down Dr. Mario World For Mobile

Smashmatt202

This is sad, I actually really enjoyed this game. I've unfortunately fallen behind on it because I've been playing a whole bunch of other mobile games and there just wasn't enough time in a given day to get to all of them, this game being the one I put on the backburner. Kind of a shame, I feel like I was one of the few people who legit enjoyed it and kept playing.

Re: Talking Point: Do You Replay Games?

Smashmatt202

Absolutely, for pretty much the same reason I'd rewatch movies or TV shows... It's weird that I had to explain this concept to a friend of mine who couldn't understand why you would want to play the same game again. Then again, given my backlog of games I've been meaning to get to, replaying ones I like have decreased over the years.

Re: Nintendo's Future Is Focused On New IP And "Staple Series"

Smashmatt202

Well, I always felt this was sorely needed by Nintendo for a while... But then again, they're saying "staple series" will continue, so I presume there will continue to be more Mario, Zelda, etc. alongside new stuff. That said, Nintendo already has a lot of interesting ideas in the form of dormant IP they haven't touched in years. They could afford to revisit those kinds of games as well, I feel.

Re: Charles Martinet Would Love To Voice Mario In Upcoming Illumination Movie

Smashmatt202

You know what? Even if he doesn't end up in the Mario movie, I'd be fine with it. I love Charlies Martinet as Mario, but I don't think that specific voice would work for an entire movie (without it getting really grating after a while). Besides, it's not like ht was the ONLY voice Mario ever had.

In fact, I know this won't happen, but I REALLY want them to get Walker Boone, the voice of Mario in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 and the Super Mario World cartoon, to reprise the role, THAT would be a nice bit of fanservice!

Re: Review: Super Mario All-Stars - All That Glitters Isn't Necessarily Gold

Smashmatt202

For Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, I'd stick with the originals. But my preference will always be the All-Stars version of Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3. I guess it might be because I grew up with this game and no the original NES, but then again, I never did like how the airship level music is out-of-sync compared to what it's supposed to sound like.

Re: Can You Name The First Game These Famous Characters Appeared In?

Smashmatt202

Technically, Shy Guys first appeared in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic (which means Dream Factory: Heart-Pounding Panic), which became the basis for Super Mario Bros. 2, called Super Mario USA in Japan.

Other than that, the only one I didn't get right was Sonic, I didn't realize he first appeared as a cameo in Rad Mobile before his first game.
