Mario Chat / Re: New Mario Movie (Not Joke)

« on: January 06, 2015, 09:53:23 PM »

the Mario games don't really have much in the way of story.

Which really needs to change.
The thing I want most from the main Mario games is for them to start having an actual story. They have all these great characters, but they are all basically reduced to being lifeless pawns. Since it doesn't seem likely that the games will change any time soon, this movie could finally be a way to see all these characters interacting in an actual story. I would love that.

I would only hope that they keep Charles Martinet and co doing the voices. Anyone else voicing Mario at this point would just be wrong.
Also because the idea of putting a celebrities voice in an animated movie in order to sell more tickets is absolutely retarded. No one is going to go to an animated movie just because Random Celebrity X is doing one of the voices.

Speaking of consistency, I noticed today in the Smash Brothers credits on N64 (which I normally bypass but actually didn't today) that his name was spelled "Martinee". It sort of makes sense since the name is French and would be spelled similarly (like "matinee" or "melee"). Source: I have a French last name ending in "et" which sounds like the "ay" sound.

It was also spelled like that in Mario Party 1 and 2.

I sure hope they don't turn the Sonic games into collect-a-thons.

You could also buy it on an NES cart from a place like http://www.nesreproductions.com/
Or you could make such a cartridge yourself, if you know how.

The only game at e3 that I'm excited for is the Donkey Kong game. I just hope they don't ruin it with ridiculous motion controls like so many games do.

Perhaps so he can pretend he has Windows 7 and a wider screen!

EDIT: After checking back, I feel ashamed of myself for not having done my research beforehand. Of course an old Quick Launch bar wouldn't look like that...

Oh really?

My favorite cartoon would have to be the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It was like the perfect blend of action, comedy, and cheese.
Also, the recent '87 series / '03 series crossover was hilarious, even though I don't like the new series.

Probably my second favorite would be Kim Possible. It also is a good combination of comedy and action.

I watched Nickelodeon all the time as a kid. Ren & Stimpy, and Rocko's Modern Life are my favorite nicktoons.

Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog is pure awesomeness.

I really liked the 90s Spider-man series. I also really like The Spectacular Spider-man.

I'm enjoying the 90s X-men series now, but for some reason I thought it was boring as a kid.

Phineas and Ferb is very funny. It's amazing how they can basically reuse the same formula over and over, but still keep it feeling fresh and hilarious.

And of course, I like Looney Tunes. Who doesn't?

Let's see...what else...Pinky and the Brain,  the Mario cartoons... that's all I can recall at the moment.

By the way, orchestrated music with percussion BETTER happen in Galaxy 2. If they go to such pains to recreate the Mario vibe, the least they can do is bring back the Yoshi percussion, even if it's MIDI beats laid over top the music

I hope they don't have the Yoshi percussion. I find it annoying. It always sounds tacked on, and ruins the song.

What Nintendo Should Do:

They have tons of R&D money to throw around. I say they kill all "lol wii iz for kiddies and lol ps2 grafix" bullcrap and pull out allllll the friggin' stops for their next system. Make a system that has the Wii's innovative motion control system, but at the same time, have every capability these other systems hide behind, as well. Blu-ray (maybe), external hard drive, 720i/1080i/1080p capabilities, an awesome storefront, an online component with tons more support and user-friendliness, the banishment of friend codes/everything that restricts online play, way more DLC support (who wouldn't want downloadable Mario worlds or a create & share level editor, for example?), etc. etc. etc.

If Nintendo could pull that off, I think they'd sweep the whole gaming market off its feet. No longer would the Wii's relatively low horsepower be a deal-breaker for people, and no longer could the Crashbox 360/Play-With-Yourself Station 3 guys say, "lol teh grafix suk." They'd have nothing to hide behind if Nintendo would just bite the bullet and stomp the other companies' asses into the ground with the system to end all systems.

I agree 100 percent. Sadly, I doubt it will happen.
