I really think Wes is gonna pull this off. The last Apes film not only had a great story, but was visually amazing. Also helps he’s a dedicated Zelda fan. Paesanos work on the Spider-Man games are phenomenal. I’m honestly more at ease than I was with the Mario Movie when it got announced.
I don’t think this film will be as financially successful as Mario, but I can still see it hitting that 700 million mark.
@HandheldHero Not the fault of the console in anyway. There’s no excuse why this game shouldn’t be hitting a stable 60 at LEAST. This is poor optimization and a ***** engine.
7.5/10, but the animation pushes it to an 8. I actually thought the pacing was a lot better than the first one, much more connected feeling than the first and not as jarring. The humor also hit for me more in this one than the first.
Also, what’s the line between references/world building? Obviously Pikmin and Game and Watch are references, but just seeing Mario characters/items I don’t think are “Easter eggs” or “references”. It’s a Mario movie, set in a Mario world (or Galaxy).
It looks absolutely gorgeous. I personally love this DLC and am having a blast with it. Such creative bosses, actually fun multiplayer modes, great stuff. Only wish it had 120fps mode.
@-wc- I mean aren’t wood building blocks a more appealing thing for parents who are fans of the IP to introduce to young kids, rather than more screen time?
@AgentMantis As someone who’s man hobby besides gaming is Lego, for a small, new molded piece in minifig scale, this is in line of a small Lego animal piece. This isn’t fake.
I no joke could not be more excited by a MAR10 day announcement unless they were to reveal the new 3D Mario. This has been a dream for me since I was a kid. I enjoy the current line and love the 18+ builds, but this is what the whole lego community has been screaming for for ages.
YES! The game already ran better on Switch 2 from the Switch 1 version, tbh I thought it already was 60fps there. Mouse mode was a much wanted addition though so I’m pumped!
I would be shocked if this was true. Getting a celeb voice actor like Devito, who illumination has worked with before, would be a much bigger deal marketing wise than Yoshi. It would be too late into the marketing push of the movie. Plus there is absolutely no merch for him.
@Strictlystyles As someone who owns the whole Figuarts Mario line, this new Movie Mario figure has more articulation and mobility than that figure. It’s also half the price. Stop with the “everything in Japan is better” ideology.
@Joekun Dreamworks humor is extremely similar to the usual humor in Illumination films. They literally made a Captain Underpants movie. Also, Bad Guys 2 has a fart joke scene that goes on for about 2 minutes. The Mario Movie has none of that. Also, ignoring the whole scandal with Lasseter, which I’m sure Nintendo would love to get tied up with, his “comeback” film sucked, and he didn’t have exactly a perfect track record before that either.
@WhiteTrashGuy Superstars should be nowhere included in the conversation of this title, now that’s a mess of a game.
I understand the complaint of replayability as that’s my main issue with it as well, but other than that this is the best Mario platforming has been in ages.
@Misima I always had a Nintendo console growing up and I’d argue it made me MORE creative as a person. I would design my own levels, play out my own scenes with figures and toys, make art based on my favorite characters, think of my own new series or characters. These toys are a great way to encourage off screen play scenarios while still engaging kids with their favorite characters.
I am now a professional graphic designer/illustrator, doing a lot better than most at my age, and have Nintendo to thank for a lot of those skills.

Re: Round Up: The First Impressions Of The Mortal Kombat II Movie Are In
The first movie was so damn awful I really don’t have any desire to see this one. I’ll wait for streaming.
Re: Review: Mouse: P.I. For Hire (Switch 2) - A Bold, Risk-Taking FPS, And A Fine Achievement
Def not a 9 in my eyes. It’s a very beautiful game, but the gameplay isn’t all there. Honestly I’m kinda leaning with the IGN review after playing it.
Re: The Mario Galaxy Movie's Digital Release Date Might Be Sooner Than We Expected
@GoproGO Numbers prove otherwise. Maybe cinema is dying for smaller films, but these block busters are keeping it alive.
Re: The Mario Galaxy Movie's Digital Release Date Might Be Sooner Than We Expected
@GoproGO The movie is on track for crossing 1 billion dollars. There have been multiple block buster hits in the past couple months.
Re: Preview: 'Yoshi And The Mysterious Book' Is More Than Just A Pretty Face
@Markiemania95 I agree with the Crafted World take. That game was a slog, don’t understand the praise for it.
Re: Preview: 'Yoshi And The Mysterious Book' Is More Than Just A Pretty Face
@Exerion76 I know it’s an opinion, but Crafted World did NOT have a better art style than this. That game was pretty ugly.
