Official Smash Ultimate Discussion

Almost one month has passed since release. In retrospect....

  • This is by far the best Smash ever. Like, I don't even know how they will top this.

  • Pretty freakin' good; I have a few qualms over things like internet play, balancing issues, etc.

  • It's ok, but [insert Smash game here] is better.

  • I'd rather play Parcheesi.

Might I remind you that these are the people who created Minions and Paper Mario: Sticker Star.

Honestly who gives a flying **** about the Mario movie.
If it's good, yay, it's a decent at best movie we'll forget about later.

If it's a shameless uninspired cashgrab (which it probably will be) it'll be forgotten within the week because Mario is a unstoppable juggernaut.

People tend to exaggerate how bad Illumination movies really are. They're somewhat boring, unoriginal, and sometimes have a tiny bit of potty humor but they aren't usually absolutely terrible. The animation is still fine enough. I think Minions being spammed everywhere just left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

I would never expect a Mario movie to be some sort of masterpiece of story and character writing anyway, so I'm really not that bothered that Illumination is handling it.

Maybe Sakurai thought that Ridley and K Rool were enough for crowd pleasers and wanted to focus on other characters that were either iconic or relevant

It's simple Metroid and DK are still alive. GS is dead.

But if it's a total disaster of a tirefire, then it will be remembered to be laughed at for generations to come

So, a recap of the confirmed video game movies coming soon.
Live-Action Detective Pikachu starring Deadpool.
Mario movie by Illumination
Live-Action Sonic the Hedgehog movie.
A Monster Hunter movie, also Live-action.
A Metal Gear Solid movie, also Live action I think.
And of course, a Live-action Megaman Movie.

There's a lot of videogame movies coming out.. Did I miss any?

I am both disgusted and intrigued by the Det. Pika movie.
I am frightened by what Illumination will do to Mario.
I'm even more frightened of Sonic and live-action being a thing.
And I don't care about MH or MSG.
But Mega Man might be ok.

That would be the best case scenario because then we could return to the good old days of animated LoZ and CDi Link youtube poops.

Palutena's Guidance reference huh?
Now that I think about it, I hope we get the character codecs back. If we don't get Snake's or Palutena's codecs/guidance return maybe we could get the Squid Sisters to talk about the fighters on the Inkopolis stage instead. This might have been discussed, but since Snake handled the character conversations in Brawl and Palutena in Sm4sh, it's possible we might get another series to handle the character conversations for Ultimate. Or I could be wrong, I don't mind if either Snake or Palutena handled the character convo again.

I'm just hoping it does better than good.

If it does well, it might restore Nintendo's faith in film, and inspire them to try out other things again. TV Shows, more movies of their franchises, etc.

The guy in charge of making the Metal Gear movie says he wants to make a Live Action Metroid movie too, one that takes the franchise back to its roots of isolation.

Exactly. I don't think it makes a lot of sense to put in a character from a dead series, unless the character is iconic, which Isaac is not

My biggest worry is the voice acting. I actually trust that Illumination can put effort into the story, animation and humor if Nintendo was willing to trust them, but I can NEVER see voice acting going well...

The only one of those with potential to be good is Metal Gear.

Kinda related, but I really hope that rumor about a Zelda anime made by the Castlevania Netflix guys is true. Unless the Castlevania anime was trash idk.

Mmm I have never been too much of a fan of slapstick kids movies like Illumination. They are not the worst things in the world, it is just the jokes and humor are usually cheap. Also I hate Minions.

EDIT # 2: I've recently been informed by my sources (the internet) that an official Minecraft Movie is also in the works.

As long as both Mario and Luigi are voiced by Vinesauce it's gonna be good.

Going to bring up the context behind the hate. The reason most people hate illumination is that its image is not healthy for the industry. Their movies are safe (never taking risks) and average. They are also relative cheap to make. They are also making it in the business incredibly well with box office records. If they stay like this, it could end up changnig the industry since why should the competition try hard when its easy to make lots of money without having to make amazing cinematic classics?

Season 1 was good. Season 2 I have mixed opinions on.
