I knew it was a joke or clickbait the moment they went "Google insert here for more info". Because very often, that is used to bait people into searching something very NSFW.You mean the Nintendo Switch Pro, maybe?
But yeah, I was mainly asking my initial question to make sure the whole next console was a joke. I did not have much faith in it being true anyway. So yeah, forget what I said.
Good thing I did not look it up.
It also had a funnily spelled username. But I've misread stuff that were troll accounts, so oops.
The only bad part about it is all the people complaining about how they made Peach a girlboss, even though she's had PLENTY of moments where she has held her own, both in the games and other materials.
I mean, aren't Nintendo pretty closely involved in the movie's production? I'm sure they'll make it work.
With that many references they must be
Waitin' if they can acknowledge DIC's **** like Oogtar or Indiana Joe in the movie.
I don't think Peach would've been an action girl if Miyamoto didn't want her to be one. He is the one who often follows what he wants than follow what's the trend.
Cloud is still a solid character. He's my highest GSP character and I use the whole roster. He has the best out of shield. He can cross up with down tilt right after his fair which is already impossible to punish. And if I remember correctly his limit blade beam goes through all projectiles but the item ones that can be caught.
I’m of the opinion that movies and shows could go a long way in helping a character’s chances in Smash, especially if they are well received. The increased exposure to these characters would definitely make a lot of more recognizable to the general public. While Mario and Sonic are as iconic as it gets in games, I feel like the movies only help them even more, especially if they’re received well. If Toad is a popular character in the movie, I feel that would bring him to the forefront of potential newcomers. I feel the same way right now about Dr. Robotnik. Almost everyone loved Jim Carey’s portrayal so I think he’d be a very popular choice as well (obviously voiced by his in game actor but still).
You say that as if Eggman's game voice can't be funny:
Man, if Long John Baldry was still alive, he would be the perfect choice to voice Robotnik in an animated adaptation of Fleetway's Sonic the Comic (since later in the comic's run, he uses the AoStH design) That and the other characters having british VAs.
You are not the only one. I like all three Mario cartoons.
I loved them as a kid and I would definitely rewatch them to show them to someone who hasn’t seen them before but I don’t tend to rewatch shows on my own.
That's quitter talk, and I'm no quitter
I probably shouldn't give you false hope, and I apologise if I do, but I think it'll depend on whether or not Nintendo wants to use the movie as an opportunity to try and make the extended Mario franchise more connected. Sonic is going through something similar ATM, with Ian Flynn semi-confirming (I say "semi" because he just said he "wouldn't argue against it") that the IDW comics are canon to the games, and Sonic Frontiers casually revealing that Sticks the Badger is canon to the games now. Takeshi Iizuka apparently wants all Sonic-related stuff to be more connected to each other, even having a dedicated lore team formed to help make sense of it all. Now I won't try to imply Nintendo will do something similar for Mario (they don't care NEARLY as much about lore as Sega does), but from what we've seen, the movie makes a bunch of references to SEVERAL pieces of Mario media: the Kongs, Peach's personality, and apparently the Mario Bros even use the same van from the live-action film. It's just... something I've been thinking about, I guess.
you say quitter, i say realist
To be fair both villager and Ridley were able to be made playable, when previously massive hero soccer guy decided against them, multiple times in the case of Ridley.
there's a difference. villager was considered ill suited, ridley too big, toad hasn't even been acknowledged. we have no reason to think he's ever been considered
Fair, but IIRC Sakurai never acknowledged K. Rool before his inclusion, and look where he is now
I’m just happy Spyro is in the thumbnail: it means nothing and he isn’t in the video but hey, he’s in the thumbnail at least.
Does putting it in the thumbnail count as acknowledging it?
when we get spyro, the stary cat and nightmare in smash?
I mostly just watch these general videos (not focused on any specific game) to see which games appear, so at the very least I’ll take what I can get.
From all characters in the Mario movie not in Smash yet, I see Cranky Kong as the number one frontrunner. Toad maybe next. But it's all timing.
By this same token, I think the Sonic movies being a success really helps the chances of an additional Sonic character. From what I understand, the movies really gave the franchise a shot in the arm in terms of Japanese popularity, which felt like the biggest factor holding a second Sonic character back post-Sephiroth. I think either Tails or Knuckles would work given that they're both featured so prominently in the second movie, although I think Tails has the slight edge because he's effectively Sonic's Luigi and he seems to get priority in the games themselves
