I'm not sure why it is getting such mediocre reviews - I thought the movie was excellent! It achieved exactly what it was aiming for - a fun, nostalgic, light-hearted adventure. I remember thinking when it was over - "Wow, that was a lot of fun! I haven't smiled that much in a long time." That's exactly the feeling that Nintendo was aiming for. True, there wasn't much to the plot, but you don't play Mario games (or watch Mario movies for that matter) for the plot.
I still think Nintendo should have added skateboards, bikes, and rollerblades to Splatoon 3 - something a little more fresh then what they added to the game.
The only 2 things I wanted in Splatoon 3 were: 1. The ability to skip the long, opening scene and 2. the option for 4-player couch coop. We might get the first 1, but definitely aren't getting the second one. Although the 2 player coop mode in Splatoon 1 was pretty lame, I enjoyed being able to play with my kids on the same console. I think not doing couch co-ops tailors the game to the rich who can afford to buy a Switch for each family member and encourages people to play with strangers, rather than family. The game just feels more developer-centered, rather than gamer-centered. I will still probably buy the game because I just love the art and style of the game so much, but I'm pretty sure I will be disappointed.
This artwork is exactly why I will not be playing this game. She has the face of an 11 year old, the breasts of a porn star, and the waist line of someone struggling with anorexia.
