I think this is a great little experience for small kids. No overly loud overstimulating animations/music, the experience only lasts 10 minutes or so before booting you out and restarting so it limits screen time. People might think this is stupid but obviously they don’t have much experience with kids.
These comments are hilarious for such a safe character adaptation. There is nothing overly goofy looking or wrong with these pics. Link especially looks great.
@MARl0 I mean he plays a pretty big role in Galaxy. I bet around halfway into the movie he gets Bowser out of the castle and he becomes the main villain.
I’m pumped. It’s always cool seeing something you love getting out to such a major audience on such a large scope, despite Nintendo being pretty mainstream. I enjoyed the first Mario movie, it wasn’t a masterpiece but it was a visual treat with a great score and was a good time overall, just felt very “quick”. With how involved Nintendo is I can’t see any of these projects not being at least respectful to the source material.
The first movie was stupid as hell but I loved it for that reason. Genuinely had a good time with it. It was no cinematic master piece, but if it’s fun, it’s fun.
Crossworlds feels no different than a junky arcade racer at Dave and Busters. It’s overly loud visually and audibly, and has hooked its fanbase purely from the idea of “OH MY GOSH _________ IS IN THIS GAME”. Shame too because Transformed was truly a great racing game.
Been saying this from the start. The game itself can be good, but Mario OWNS this category and will never be beat in terms of longevity and popularity. I don’t think the pricing helped Crossworlds at all either, as really for everything the game has to offer, it’s MORE expensive than MK World.
Again, not discrediting the game. It’s not my cup of tea from the demo I played, but there’s no denying it’s a quality time.
The first was everything it needed to be; Introduce these characters and the world to the big screen in a true to form way.
They established the world and all the necessary characters, and now that they got all of that out of the way, they can let loose and really dial in on this story, which this is one of the few Mario games that actually has some story to take from.
I can’t wait, it’s going to be so visually striking with everything being in space, and Brian Tyler has proven himself with the score already.
@SwitchedOn_Games I love Madden and had this version in my cart, until I played my friends copy when he came over. It’s inconsistent frames, and as someone who plays Madden a ton, I cannot have that. So the whole narrative of “you can’t have an opinion you’ve never played it” is flat out wrong.
“Lazy devs” is not a lazy argument at all. Despite me loving this series, these are lazy, iterative titles that deserve time and effort to be put in them. Criticism is good, it makes the end product better.
Also, yes Cyberpunk is a PS4 title, but you know what also was? Madden 25, and there isn’t very much a difference between 25 and 26 visually. Hit 60fps no problem there though. So again, no reason it should be 60 here, as the Switch 2 is more powerful than the PS4.
No reason, lazy and rushed. Simple as that. It doesn’t take an education (despite me having one against your judgment) to come to that conclusion.
@SwitchedOn_Games I do understand how games are made, took multiple classes under my major in college so I like to think I have a basic understanding.
Stop being so damn cocky and realize this is a rush job, and defending EA out of all companies is hilarious. The Series S is able to produce 60fps gameplay, 30fps cutscenes, a system comparable in power to the Switch 2. While the Switch 2 is behind in terms of memory, the Switch 2 has more advanced tech that can pick up the slack and give us a fairly uncompromised version running at 60. You cannot sit here and tell me that that isn’t possible when we have games such s Cyberpunk and Outlaws, way more taxing games, that run at the same frame rate.
@SwitchedOn_Games What are you on about? I gave my reasoning, I want to play the game at 60fps, so I won’t pick this up until this or another version hits that. 40fps isn’t possible on my tv. Do I need to spell it out more or.
I don’t think it does anything revolutionary or different, but then again it didn’t really have to. It’s a good time so far. Not blown away but definitely not disappointed.

Re: Poll: What Do You Make Of Link And Zelda's Live-Action Looks?
@Dom_31 This is no where near as bold as One Piece and is pretty tame. I have no clue where you are coming to this conclusion from.
Re: Official Zelda Movie Photos Give Us Our Best Look Yet At Link And Zelda
Link looks phenomenal.

Re: Poll: What Do You Make Of The Mario Galaxy Movie's Leaked Yoshi Design?
@Filthy No it doesn’t and stop saying this just to say it. Slap in the face to artists and those who actually put work into it.
Re: Poll: What Do You Make Of The Mario Galaxy Movie's Leaked Yoshi Design?
@Maxz His renders have always looked off compared to how he looks in film. I think in the one of him riding Yoshi he looks quite good.
Re: Images Of Yoshi From 'The Super Mario Galaxy Movie' Have Leaked Online
Looks pretty dang great, especially that render of the two of them together.

@awp69 Which is the main selling point of the game…

@Aeralto Yeah it’s gonna be “obligatory” when the thing costs 750 freaking dollars.

@Friendly I want to be able to play it on my TV as well. There is no reason this game can’t hit 60fps.
Re: Madden NFL 26 Updated On Switch 2, Here Are The Patch Notes
If this game ever gets the 60fps patch it deserves, then I will pick it up.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Prices Are Live, And It's Sticker Shock Time
I have 3D All Stars, and honestly I love Galaxy 2 enough to pay 40 bucks for it, so I’m fine, but really this should be 60 tops.
