We already got our Civil Rights pick, five years ago:

Should’ve had the Top Hat on when he was announced.

What if there were two E3’s a year? One in June and one in December or January? I mean, I know the game awards are a thing. But... I don’t know. I just think it would be nice to guarantee reveals from specific companies.

I really don’t think we need two E3s.

It kinda loses that special feeling. Like if Christmas was everyday, it’s special because it comes once a year so you really enjoy it.

-Switch major to Web Design

-First animation class has me use Newgrounds as a idea bin, and to showcase what you can do with animation for my final project.

Me, having grown up watching Newgrounds and always a fan:

It’s smarter to generate hype in the summer. Then once the holidays come in, hype regenerates and sales are made. It would be pretty dumb to announce games in January lol bc you can’t release until the end of that year

I can't draw for **** lmao. I'm decent with animations outside of hand drawn ones. I'm also not bad at arranging preset images to work as a design for pages and what not.

Its still fun even If I'm not the best.

Sighs. I know.

Life sucks.

Maybe if I go to sleep, I just... won’t wake up. Ever.

ESAM and Ash Ketchum winning something on the same day is way too scripted to ignore.

 

[Wademan94]

So um, is there anything you guys wanna talk about?

 

[Kingslime304]

Pointless fun fact: Banjos Fair isn’t a punch, it’s instead a swipe, since you can see Banjo not clenching his fist.

Can I repeat a point I made a couple days ago?

We could've gotten a DreamWorks made Mario movie had Nintendo waited a bit for that Universal Parks deal

No wonder the Twitch chat was on ESAM's side the entire time.

Played through a lot of the Blue Lions route today in Three Houses.

Spoiler: BL Chapter 17 spoilers

Dorothea's "we killed Ferdie, Professor" quote was definitely one of the most heartbreaking parts of the game so far. It's up there with some of the Crimson Flower death quotes.

I'll probably be able to complete this route in the next few days. Gotta say though I think I'm starting to like Dimitri more than Edelgard.

I can't think of two diametrically opposed animation studios than Illumimation and DreamWorks, and now they are both owned by Universal

Would be interesting, but I can't say it fits completely. Dreamworks is big on world building and story telling, which could be tricky to adapt Mario into easily. There's the Yoshi land, DK land, Wario's Land, etc. The Mario World is hugely but it's never had huge stories or crazy world building so it be hard imo to make it something like how to train your dragon, which I imagine would have been the goal rather then make it more like say Shrek. Dreamworks do a lot of different movies in fantasy settings, but each one is a pretty different style. Animation wise it would have been pretty nice, but I'm not sure I see them handling the project with ease.

It could have definitely been good and interesting, but we won't know now. IF they adapted elements from the RPGS, that could make for a pretty cool scale movie. I'd imagine Nintendo wants it more traditional, with bowser taking peach however, and Mario traveling the land to save her.

Now if it was Dreamworks Making a Zelda movie, that could have been pretty breathtaking with a lot of their movie franchises elements being able to help them there.

I'm curious to see what path Illumination takes with it though.

Hey guys, hate to tell you but this is your next dlc Fighter according to my daughter

I asked her to pick the next dlc Fighter with it either being this guy, Doomslayer, Crash, Steve?, Hello Kitty, Scorpion, and Hayabusa. She chose Anpanman. Since she is my daughter, she can never do wrong and is always right and cute in my eyes. Enjoy playing as a superhero made from red bean paste filled bread.

We’ll never get a HTTYD flying scene with Mario and Yoshi

Considering how they handled the Captain Underpants movie, I think they could’ve pulled it off.

Did you do Mercede's paralouge? ( You need Casper and her I believe)

If you did, then in a few chapter there will be a really sad scene that plays out

 

[Zinith]

Ah, so that's what happened to the Wind Fish

 

[Z25]

I haven't seen it, but heard good things. It looked to keep the zany feel of the books in tact pretty well. It could have definitely been a good idea for them on how to approach Mario. I would have loved to see more of DW's idea and what Nintendo's was/is for the Mario Movie.

I wonder what game adaption could happen if Mario does well. I'd love to see Kirby on the big screen.

 

[Venus of the Desert Bloom]

Actually, I might just make all of her favorite Japanese children show characters into the Smash stocks....

Like the cat-mouse dude, Nyanchu.

 

[Noipoi]

The first despicable me was really good, actually. So I have some hope for the Mario movie.

But if the Goombas start speaking vaguely Hispanic gibberish, just throw the whole movie away.

I actually recruited Caspar just so I could do that paralogue since I...

Spoiler

...heard that it involved the Death Knight and I wanted to learn more about him. While I already knew that Mercedes and him were related, I have no idea why he decided to be evil and such. Hoping I get to find out why he became like that soon.

 

[Wademan94]

Yeah I agree the first film is still pretty good, but that was back before Illumination found out that they didn’t have to put any effort into their films to make a quick buck.

I’m still waiting for the Zelda movie that I never want to see

I’m still waiting for the animated Sonic movie that we should’ve gotten instead.

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Zelda is definitely the next movie adaptation after Mario. Either that or Metroid.

Anyways, I can see the Mario movie potentially working. I just wanna know the cast of characters they're using. If it's just Mario, Peach, Bowser, maybe Yoshi, and Luigi? Eh.

Also, Goombas and Toads will definitely be the "Minion" characters if they really try and force that. I hope they follow after the cartoon's footsteps with some RPG personalities added in for at least good characterization.

Mario.. RPG..

GENO WILL BE IN SMASH TO PROMOTE THE MARIO MOVIE WHICH IS AN ADAPTATION OF SUPER MARIO RPG: LEGEND OF THE SEVEN STARS!! /s

I think the best inspiration they could use is the Super Mario Adventures comic. Probably the best non-video game representation of the series.

All I know is I want Keith Ferguson as Bowser.

Nah, it’s animal crossing. It’ll blow Endgame out of the water with its top notch action sequences and gripping nail-biting story line. I have high hopes for Michael Bay’s vision for this series.

Illumination will definitely go the celebrity voice cast angle aside from Mario and Luigi using Charles Martinet.

I could just see them announce "Jeff Bridges as Bowser"

 

[Shyy_Guy595]

Honestly, it'd be funny if the movie was a huge marketing scheme to promote a new Mario title releasing as a sort of tie-in with the movie.

Like, maybe the movie has a plot of them getting transported into a movie from the game and the game has them transport from wherever they were in the movie to the game's setting like Mania and Forces except actually keeping consistency.

Spoiler: This used to be two separate posts, so...

Every now and then I look at the Terry gameplay.

I keep looking at those two power waves, trying to figure out if one moves faster than the other, if one is bigger, if there are any differences, out of pure fear that Terry has the same light and heavy button mechanic as Ryu and Ken. If they destroy this character with that annoying gimmick after I was so excited for him I stg.

Time for controversy; in my opinion, the command inputs are the absolute best part about Ryu and Ken. Not only are they a creative way to respect their origins, but they're something that a player can actively choose to use or not. You can either play it safe and use the standard B-Button inputs, or you can take a risk at messing up an input for a more powerful attack (or an entirely different move). Seeing as Terry hails from a fighting game like the two we have right now, it wouldn't be surprising to see if that were the case (and judging by the motions he made with the Burn Knuckle, it's likely that that's the case). Not trying to prove you wrong, I just thought I'd share why I personally think that it's a neat trick for Ryu and Ken, and why it'd be neat for Terry.

Miyamoto and Nintendo as a whole are heavily involved with the movie's development. With how protective they are of their properties, I highly doubt that the Mario movie will fall victim to the Illumination Pop-Culture Plague. They've likely got too little authority to do so.

 

[Cosmic77]

At the very least, I'm sure the animation for the new Mario movie will look great. Illumination manages to make visually appealing movies at half the price of Pixar and Disney's studios.

I just hope they use Detective Pikachu and Sonic as reference for what you should and shouldn't do regarding character designs. This might be one of the few cases where Miyamoto's "guidance" would come in handy.

So Japan finally just got UberEats but Uber itself remains absent. I heard the government made it illegal but maybe that was Airbnb. However, I see why it’s not here because of the near-tyrannical grasp the taxi companies/unions have on the market. To be fair, taxis in Japan would be considered luxury taxis in the States. They are top notch.

I tried to do UberEats here but it only exists in Tokyo

Yet they air commercials up the whazoo everywhere.
