@NintendoWife I could easily see a Donkey Kong movie being the next Minecraft Movie. Just throw in as many stupid DK Rap and cartoon references/jokes and it’d be a winner.
The Hotel Mario Movie, with a live-action Link: The Faces of Evil to follow it. We can finally hear “I hope she made lotsa spaghetti” and “SQUADALA! We are off” in the theatre.
@LikelySatan Yeah, perfectly fine if it doesn’t click with you. Some mechanics frustrate me as well. Just thought it was funny that someone could disregard it so bravely when nearly everyone else claims that it’s one of the masterpieces of gaming.
@Anti-Matter It costs over 20 bucks a month to do that in the US. And it’s not even official, meaning they can remove the videos if they try hard enough. No thanks. Sticking to Spotify and Nintendo Music (yes, I actually like that service)
Does it even make a difference? It’s Mario, for heaven’s sake! Who cares if Peach and Rosalina are siblings? I’ll take it over Peach and Luigi being Rosalina’s parents
Almost feels like they were planning on releasing the Switch 2 this year but decided they could get away with releasing it a year earlier. We’re actually getting Switch 2 games!
Great game at its core (the people who think it’s terrible obviously have no souls). It can get a little repetitive, and the “wish” mechanic is a little annoying (it would be nice if we had the option to purchase level-up gifts or items to use on the island without having to essentially grind warm fuzzies to level-up), but it’s incredibly charming and hilarious. Solid 8/10 for me.
@K1LLEGAL The difference with the Wii U was that it still had a bunch of great exclusive games and acted as something to build off of (home and handheld consoles merging together) when it came to the next thing. Not so sure if Xbox is in the same spot
Tried out the demo and found it fun enough to warrant pre-ordering the full game, so I’m not worried about spoilers (for those wondering about that there is to spoil, I imagine certain elements and Easter eggs are in the game that have been kept hidden).
@NeonPizza The only reason that was the case was because video games were meant to appeal to kids, so they had to go through a bunch of hoops to appeal to both kids and the parents who saw video games as some dangerous toy. Nowadays, they have nothing to prove, other than why their console and games are worth purchasing. They don’t need crazy deals (which is a bad thing) or crazy marketing (which is a good thing). Also, I thought third-party exclusives were a bad thing? Nintendo, Microsoft, and Sony were all just buying them up anyway - not like they actually had a reason to be exclusive. And back to the Super Mario Kart thing, that game has been surpassed by dang near every sequel (Super Circuit is debatable). The tracks all blend in, Vanilla Lake is near unplayable, the battle mode is incredibly bland compared to how it is in future installments, drifting is pretty much useless unless you’re an expert, the computers cheat in ways that make my jaw drop (“DID HE JUST JUMP OVER MY SHELL?! HE DIDN’T EVEN CROSS AN ITEM PANEL!!!”), I have no idea how anyone can look at this game and think it’s the greatest other than out of pure nostalgia. It has aged like milk.
Would be nice if there was an “I can’t decide” option. Also, I get that they were probably trying to make Daisy look more like she’s actually from the Middle East (which I think is what Sarasaland is supposed to represent, though it may have originally supposed to have been Africa, I honestly have no idea) but her movie design is so honking jarring to look at. Especially the hair, which looks like a wig.
@Aquinas It’s live action and it’s also Zelda. Not nearly as many kids are going to be interested in it, so they have much more pressure to make it appealing to adults and critics.
7/10. Honestly, I think I kind of prefer the first movie because it was simply way more exciting (although it was also more disappointing) and I also just kind of like the vibes more. I don’t know, it might just be nostalgia (even if it was only a few years ago)
Star Force is in second - yay! (even though I got bored after an hour and don’t plan on going back anytime soon, because, well, I’m also not an RPG guy…)
1) What a stupid patent. Nintendo has got to look in the mirror so they can see the pettiness in them.
2) Literally who the heck cares about TPC v. PocketPair at this point? Nintendo’s ridiculous patents, PocketPair’s hilariously dramatized responses, this is genuinely so stupid.
If you think the Mario (and Sonic but that’s Sega) movies are incredibly corporate, just imagine what a “Smash Bros.” movie would end up like. What kids care about Punch-Out? Or Metroid? Or Kid Icarus? They know it wouldn’t work out if they included those IPs, so they’d just market it as a crossover between Mario and Zelda (which would be extremely odd), maybe Kirby if Sakurai gets involved, or even Sonic just to appeal to the kids. Critics would hate it, fan boys would hate it, it’s just not worth it.
-10/10 there’s no emotional death scene. Every kids movie needs to have an emotional death scene. That way, the kids will be too traumatized to watch it again so the parents won’t ever have to deal “Let’s watch it again!” But no. They’re going to love it, and parents will have to stay subscribed to…whichever of the bajillion streaming services out there will have this in there to keep the kiddos happy.
In case you can’t tell, the negativity is starting to annoy me
That’s a shame, but it’s important to remember that PHYSICAL GAMES AREN’T IMMORTAL EITHER. Scratched discs, lost cartridges, this doesn’t make a good reason as to why physical is superior. It’s more of an ego boost, if anything.
So it is real?! Can’t say I’m complaining, but I know for a matter of fact that this is going to raise expectations of those wanting an NCU, who are going to roast this movie over a grill if it doesn’t lead to that
