I heard the movie makes Luigi the damsel in distress (they were too afraid to show Mario being weak after what happened with all the Sonic comics). And I hope Luigi gets a decent movie of his own to make up for it.

Probably just because Luigi is fun to scare the poo poo out of.

I'm replaying Portal 2 on Switch afrer having first played it on Xbox what seemed a long time ago.

I got to The Surprise. I realise that it could have been way, way worse. Like Chell could have been forced to pick which of her parents live or die or something. So it was a pretty powerful bait and switch.

I played through it again last year and was kind of floored that whenever there hasn't been a joke for a while they'd just have one of the characters call you fat. There were so many fat jokes it was weird

there was a lot of cut dialogue from glados in the game’s first half that was way more venomous and overtly violent. presumably valve dialed it back in favor of the childish taunts for the sake of the game’s tone, and also because the joke there is really on the super-AI who constantly resorts to neener-neener weight wisecracks

An Animal Crossing movie where the lead character, voiced by Joaquin Phoenix, spends 3/4 of the runtime digging up fossils and listening to Blathers (Ian McKellen) explain them in excruciating detail would sweep the Oscars.

To be honest, if Peach was the damsel it would have made no sense for Mario to be concerned about saving her, considering the main plot of this movie is them just arriving in Mushroom Kingdom and having no clue what's going on at all. Luigi being the one to save made the emotional connection much more obvious.

This makes me wonder if the inevitable sequel will have Bowser actually getting Peach right away, which could (hopefully) lead to the Bros. teaming up to save her because the best parts of the movie by far were the few times they actually were on screen together.

There's one joke early in the game about AI construct operating at very low voltages that only pays off on a second play through after the potato battery scene.

I bet it's 50-50 that they team up with bowser next movie.

...or pull him out completely and make Wario the villain. The first movie has so many big names in it, sequels are only going to get more and more expensive to pay them

That makes sense, and I agree and all. But I'd rather they just had something else instead. I know Mario's games are pretty much just the same one sentence plot summary every time. But they could have had something else going on to make Bowser the bad guy. And still have some kind of reason for Mario and Luigi to be against him when they arrived. But I guess this was just the easy way to go about the movie. Or they figured it's what people would have wanted / expected to see.

Mario is a time traveling rear end in a top hat that can't stop pressuring some girl that clearly doesn't want him.

Luigi, one the other hand, is the every man and relatable. He goes home to his decent sized house, has a recliner, probably invests wisely, and has a rad ghost dog. That man is living the dream.

If you're doing this legitimately serious respect, that game gets tough and I have no shame saying I resorted to the Rewind feature a whole bunch. There's no shame in doing that btw even if it's just to put a save-state at the start of the level which is still a super legitimate way of beating the game, helps deal with the game over nonsense of yesteryear.

Not directly switch related but Pizza Tower is an incredible wario land game probably the best one ever made. Wonder if they'll port it to switch?

The art is deranged, the powers are cool, the gameplay is very very similar to wario land 4 but more refined, with better controls and more complex in a good way, and the game is just outright fuckin hilarious. Music goes hard too, I knew I had to pick this one up eventually and I am really glad I did!

This is the kind of game that makes video games feel fresh and novel all over again
