Re: Seth Rogen On Voicing Donkey Kong In The Mario Movie: "It's Gonna Sound Like Me And That's It"

@RainbowGazelle Agreed. Sadly this is nothing new and won't be stopped anytime soon. It's all about marketing, suits feel the need for bigger names instead of letting characters speak for themselves through VA veterans.

Scoob! is a good example IMO. They recast everyone in the gang but Scooby-Doo, voiced by Frank Welker, who had been the voice of Freddy Jones since the 1960s. Ugh!

A VA could do a character in TV or video games for decades. But if that character shows up in a movie the VA veteran doesn't get the part for a big payday. Instead the part goes to a big name actor that quite frankly probably doesn't need more money.

There are a lot of high priced exclusive GC games and the prices don't seem to be going down anytime soon. I would love more remasters on Switch or their next console. I know Nintendo won't release all the games I want, but hopefully we'll get the big ones like Zelda and Metroid. Eternal Darkness and Skies of Arcadia are probably pipe dreams. $50 is way less than buying the GC versions.
