I don't want to judge straight away, but unfortunately I cannot and will not get my hopes up for anything from Illumination based on their track record, especially not a video game movie.
Also, it's been proven time and time again that video game movies just 👏do 👏not 👏work. I didn't see the Sonic movie, but from the trailer and plot description on Wikipedia, I can tell it's a joyless cliche'd mess, so don't ask me how disastrous a Mario movie from Illumination would be.
Although I don't particularly care about this (already own the 2019 one through second-hand shops), I do wonder when or if we're getting Nintendo Selects on the Switch.
Between this and the Sonic movie getting a 93% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes (should be way lower imo), I think I've lost all trust in non-critics' opinions.
Got the theme for Tetris 99, next target are the Spirits in SSBU. Will be of course throwing in some ACNH and SMM2. Might also replay Home Sheep Home for no reason at all.

Re: Ninty Fresh Aims To Relive The Glory Days Of Nintendo Print Magazines
I mean, I like print media and I like Nintendo, plus $30AUD (inc. shipping) for the premium package isn't a bad deal. I'll probably back this.
Re: It's Official: The Sonic The Hedgehog Movie Is Getting A Sequel
So this celebration of mediocrity gets a sequel after four months yet we still can't get Galaxy 3 after ten years? Bruh

Re: Review: The Elder Scrolls: Blades - A Grindy Free-To-Play Bastardisation Of Bethesda's RPG Classic
@Varubajia Mario Kart Tour is Mario Kart Tour, and Mario Kart Tour is Pathetic Kart Scam.

@RileyR I agree on the drifting thing, but the way it was worded made it seem like trolling. Sorry.

Re: Fancy Splurging $300 On A SpongeBob Game? You're In Luck
I love SpongeBob but I think just the base game will do for me. Also waiting on reviews as licensed games generally aren't that great.
