What's to show? The game comes out in like a month.

I know they had yet another trailer for Metroid, but honestly they shouldn't be showing any more of that either.

Still plenty to show since we know virtually nothing about the green demon on the cover case yet. Atlus has been doing one major trailer per month so it wouldve been nice to see something this September. We also still need to see the English dub for the game.

Yeah, I just watched the whole thing. It was alright.

I just don't understand that casting for the Mario movie. A couple make sense, but they could have done better than Seth Rogan, and Chris Pratt. Christ, hire on ProZD, he does an incredible Mario voice that's very close to the original.

I think they went with Chris Pratt specifically because they didn't want to go with the original voice. It sounds like the tone is gonna be very conversational, very chatty, and no-one is gonna sit down for an hour and a half of "It's-a time to-a save-a the princess!" in a mock-italian falsetto voice. Charles Martinet is in the movie, it's not like they forgot about him. They just needed to help the flow of dialogue in the movie, and the game voices aren't conducive to a big Hollywood production.

Like I'd be down for Mario short films with Charles' voice-acting, but an entire Hollywood movie? Something like this was bound to happen. I'm not a fan of Chris Pratt as Mario either, but Charlie Day and Jack Black? Fuck yeah.

I mean, it's Illumination. Their main thing is making bad to mediocre movies on a modest budget that end up making over a billion dollars.

I don't even think Despicable Me was the best "villain-turns-good" movie of the year it came out and that's probably their best offering. We should only be disappointed in ourselves for thinking they would have good casting.

i think seth rogan will actually be a great DK. he has that laid back slacker kind of feeling, which suits DK perfectly until someone steals his bananas.

I was working in a cinema when Sing came out. I'm not a fan of pop-musical movies, where it's loaded with contemporary and classic pop hits to get butts in seats, but Sing was genuinely watchable.

The Mario movie has been in gestation for years now, and Miyamoto is involved to such a degree that he's making announcements on its behalf. If Nintendo wasn't happy with the final product, I don't think Miyamoto would be shilling for it. But that's just a gut feeling, I don't know shit about the business side of things lol

And I get that, I totally agree, I just don't see Pratt as a Mario. This could end up really good, or be god awful.

I get that, and believe me, I really want this movie to be good. Mario is my favorite character, so it kinda sucks to see he won't be represented voice and all like I grew up with.

Still, my gut just feels like this is a Japanese company that is trying to just throw names they know in a movie to sell thinking that big American stars = big American money. I mean, this would have been Illumination's say when they casted it, but Nintendo gave the final approval to have Mario represented in whatever way Chris is going to do it.

Then again, Miyamoto did nail exactly what Mario is like when he oversaw how the theme park went. I hope his vision comes through again. He's a very creative person (we know that with Mario, Zelda, and more from him), and I think he's gotten unfair criticism on certain issues. This could be very well be one of his last major projects, and I'd like to think he wants to leave his legacy with a bright ending, considering it's him that single-handedly (hyperbole perhaps but you get what I'm saying) built the empire of Nintendo to where it is now. He doesn't get the mainstream credit that visionaries like Walt Disney received.

I hope all in all, Charles Martinet gets the respect as well with whatever cameo he gets, because he has put a lot of work in creating Mario's brand too. Dude will always be Mario to me no matter what. As for Chris, I hope he makes me eat my words. My nightmare is he just does a Chris Pratt voice for Mario, but maybe he'll actually try to give a genuine take on a pseudo-Italian voice or whatever accent they want.

I saw a Reddit comment theorise that the Mario movie will have a plot like Jumanji and a bunch of real world people will get sucked into the video game and find themselves stuck as the characters.

A lot of things seem to click into place with that theory so it wouldn't surprise me.

I wonder if someday we'll have a videogame movie that's just the fucking videogame characters doing stuff. It always has to involve real life shit so the normies can watch too, huh...

We have that. It's called "video games". Also we can interact with them making them better than movies.

I don't think that's a possibility anymore, given that Spike is being brought back. With him randomly getting top-ish billing, it seems like this is going to serve as an origin story movie to me.

Can't you access the Japanese NES/SNES collections with a Japanese Switch account? I thought I heard that.
