Behind the scenes I'm sure Nintendo's lawyers are also investigating all the companies involved with the production of the book. These companies are also at risk if it's determined the leak was from one of their employees. End of contract.
@Cashews Studio Ghibli VA is mostly really well done. But those are all original characters. Elle Fanning's voice's IS Mei Kusakabe's voice for the English version.
I'm just not a fan of hearing a celebrity's voice coming out of my favorite characters from cartoons and anime. Maile Flanagan IS Naruto. Insert your favorite character here.
@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.
Looks fun. I too wish there were more "games" with this goal in mind, maybe with more of a story where you talk to people as you learn their language. Wish I could learn even some basic Japanese.
Unless you per-ordered you have to check stores in person or online. I wish we could just order something that's not in stock and wait. Retailers don't do back order anymore?
@LimitedPower That would be nice. Unlike the other console makers, Nintendo is unique that they rarely lower prices on First Party titles. This practice doesn't seem to hurt them but it'd be nice to see what would happen if they tried it.
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.
DQ is very popular in other countries. I don't know why X wouldn't be translated and released outside Japan. They've done it with so many DQ games in recent years.
I have faith in Nintendo. It's true there have been missteps with Wii U, Virtual Boy, etc. but their track record is pretty darn good. Their games are always great.
Rumors are just that, until something is announced.
Most fans want voice acting in some capacity. I wouldn't expect every single interaction to have voice work but they could do it for cut scenes and in some other important places. I'm sure this would be odd for such a big brand but would settle for even Japanese so there's something.
Hopefully the game gets patched quickly and people can go back to playing it properly. The Pokemon fans I've heard from really like it outside of the performance issues and glitches.

Re: Soapbox: Can We Stop Pretending Switch Can't Run Call Of Duty?
@Baler True. There are a fair amount of articles about the Steam Deck or similar.
Re: Rumour: The Infamous Phillips CD-i Zelda Games Are Being Remastered For Switch
Pretty obviously a joke. But we did get Plumbers Don't Wear Ties.
Re: PlatinumGames Announces Next Instalment In "Neo-Classic Arcade" Series On April Fools' Day
We should turn off news feeds on April 1. Seriously sick of the tricks.

Re: Uh Oh, It Looks Like The Mario Movie Blu-ray Steelbook Release Date Leaked
@Member_the_game Yes. For the same reason that people buy physical games if they are released.

Really looking forward to checking this out.
Re: Nintendo Places Outside Top Ten In Metacritic's 13th Annual Game Publisher Rankings
Could not care less. This seems like just more fuel for the fire of people arguing about the best games makers.
Re: The Pokémon Company Is Looking To Hire Someone With NFT Knowledge
@HeadPirate I wish more were reading your comment instead of just posting their outrage.
Re: Take Snapshots And Learn Japanese In This Cosy Switch Photography Game, Live On Kickstarter
Looks fun. I too wish there were more "games" with this goal in mind, maybe with more of a story where you talk to people as you learn their language. Wish I could learn even some basic Japanese.
Re: Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Version 1.2.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Updated Patch Notes
@Itachi2099 Same here. Switchup is good about revisiting certain games when they're patched. Sometimes games gets fixed. We'll have to see.

Re: Master Detective Archives: Rain Code Introduces Six New Characters
Hope this is good. I'm really loving it so far.

Sounds great. Kelsey is always a wonderful guest on various Metal Jesus videos. Has a passion for games.
Re: Video: MVG Checks Out "Awesome" Update For GameCube Emulator On Xbox
@Mgalens You have a valid point on the third party exclusives.
I would also like a port of Paper Mario. Thanks.

Re: Time-Travel RPG 'Loop8: Summer Of Gods' Gets Official Western Release Date
Looks like a playable anime, slice of life with some action. I'm in.
Re: Xbox Acknowledges "The Journey" It's Been On To Revive GoldenEye 007
It shouldn't have taken this long for GoldenEye. Can we get a proper Banjo sequel now? I'm sure we'll never see Conker again.

Looks good. Love the trailer.

Re: PSA: Watch Out, Fire Emblem Engage Leaks Are Appearing Online
@Kid_Sickarus nice quote, Dr. Malcolm. Love that scene!
Re: The Simpsons Hit & Run Soundtrack Is Out Now On Spotify And Apple Music
@PLATINUM7 I would be happy with that too. The cartoon graphics are fine. The Xbox version supports 480p and Widescreen so it's not far off that way.
Re: Random: Zelda Cartoon Writer Admits Hiring Family Members To Help Write Episodes
It's great nostalgia. It's not much different than other cartoons at the time which were also great.
Re: Nintendo Provides A Look At Switch's Games Line-Up For 2023
There are some big games on that list. I really like what I see from Master Detective Archives: Rain Code.

Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2023
I sure hope we see Twilight Princess and Wind Waker on Switch or the next Nintendo console.
Probably a different list but would love to have a remaster of Dragon Quest VIII on Switch too.
Re: Soapbox: Sega's Greatest RPG Is 20 Years Old And Long Overdue A Remaster
Really surprised it hasn't been remade yet or even remastered. Hopefully it's on someone's list for the Switch.

Re: Review: The Outbound Ghost - A Heartfelt But Ultimately Thin Paper Mario-Like
I did have interest in this but no more. Sad.
Re: Spike Chunsoft Shares New Master Detective Archives: Rain Code Trailer
I forgot about this game. Looks promising, hopefully it delivers. And hopefully there is some cover art for the standard edition too.
Re: Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed Is A Game About Taking Off People's Clothes
@nhSnork I watched some more videos of this and other Akiba games, I may have to check them out.
Re: Akiba's Trip: Undead & Undressed Is A Game About Taking Off People's Clothes
Well, I like the graphics and cut scenes, and the idea of visiting Akihabara in a game sounds fun. But the plot and gameplay sound ridiculous.
Re: Video: Super Mario Bros. Movie "Mushroom Kingdom" Official Reveal
That was a nice snipet. Liking this more and more.
Re: The Outbound Ghost Dev Releases Video Statement Regarding Switch Performance Issues
BTW the Publisher in question is Digerati Distribution. Not sure why that isn't mentioned in the article. I'm not familiar with them.
Re: Microsoft Enters "10-Year Commitment To Bring Call Of Duty To Nintendo"
Could not care less personally. Nintendo's games are perfectly fine for me.

Re: Random: YouTuber Recreates Pokémon Scarlet & Violet Cutscenes With Full Voice Acting

Re: Nintendo Direct Announced For The Premiere Of Super Mario Bros. Movie's Second Trailer
Hopefully this is just part of the presentation and they talk about games too. I wonder if Nintendo would mention a patch coming for a certain title.
Re: Video: You Can Improve Pokémon Scarlet And Violet's Performance Yourself
Hopefully the game gets patched quickly and people can go back to playing it properly. The Pokemon fans I've heard from really like it outside of the performance issues and glitches.
Re: Random: Sounds Like Masahiro Sakurai Wants A Kid Icarus: Uprising Port As Much As Us
Outside of guest appearances in games like Smash, there are only three Kid Icarus games? That's a shame.
