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.
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.

God that looks horrendous. Even looks cheap in the promotional pics.

Re: Pokémon Pinball Machine Officially Revealed By Stern Pinball, Available Now
@nukatha Anyone paying the money for this in their home is a Gen 1 fan, and for public use they are the most recognizable gen by a lot.

Re: Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Unveiled For Switch, Launching In 2026
Eh. It just doesn’t have that castlevania feel to it. Looks like every other over done Metroidvania these days.

Re: The Super Mario Galaxy Movie Gets A Brand New Teaser With An Iconic Boss
@PinderSchloss Of course you can have your own opinion, you just are obnoxiously over pretentious in the way you carry yourself through! That’s all
Re: Round Up: The Previews Are In For Super Mario Bros. Wonder - Switch 2 Edition + Meetup In Bellabel Park
@WhiteTrashGuy This is an insane take.

Re: LEGO Pokémon Reveals First Sets, Launches February 2026
The Kanto starters are legit perfect. That’s a very hard not purchase for me as that’s a hefty chunk of my rent right there lol.
Re: Showcase Your Authoritah When South Park And Fortnite Collide This Week
@Misima Genuinely what are you talking about. It doesn’t take a genius to understand South Park is parody.
Re: Octopath Traveler 0 Receives A Small Update On Switch And Switch 2
Unrelated but that Fallout ad is awful.

I am legit so hyped.

@Anti-Matter How does this look AI. I hate how everyone slaps around that, such an insult to everyone involved working on this.
Re: CRKD Announces The 'Nitro Deck 2', Compatible With Switch And Switch 2
I’ll have to hear reviews on this one. I wants huge the original and it had its issues but I wouldn’t mind giving it another chance with my Switch 2.

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: Is Your Third-Party Switch 2 Dock Still Working After This Week's System Update?

Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
@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.
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
@Wood_Stick illumination is a French animation studio…
Re: Super Mario Galaxy Movie Trailer Reveals Rosalina, Bowser Jr., And More
Looks MUCH more story driven, which was my biggest complaint with the last one. I’m pumped!

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.

Re: Hand-Drawn Platformer 'Ruffy And The Riverside' Gets 60fps Update On Switch 2
This is awesome. I played a little of this but decided to hold off for the chance that it gets an update like this on the Switch 2.
