What you don't know is that Giant Mario eats the hills and then clouds too.

There's a difference between having a face and being alive. Maybe a smiley face is just a commonly naturally occurring formation in that world

Guys, I really don't think I've been so excited to play a console like this since the Gamecube/PS3. Both the Wii and Wii U destroyed my hype, but I still got them because of Zelda (Wii U kinda screwed me over in that sense) but I'm actually genuinely excited for this one. Don't let me down Nintendo pls

I think that's from a comic from like 1990.

I'm just learning that Princess Peach and Toadstool are the same person though.

Nah, it's in the manual for Super Mario Bros. on the NES. Bowser used his evil magic to turn the citizens of the mushroom kingdom into bricks and stuff. The ones that give you coins and power-ups are ensorcelled mushroom people who are trying to aid your quest.

I'm pretty sure that was retconned/ignored out of existence by SMB3, though.

lmao at anyone who still can't comprehend that the ad didn't feature real switch game footage

They asked the person that acted in the interview. The actual screen on the switch was turned on and the actor played it, and that's what they captured on film. Some footage on the TVs were overlaid in post production.

Funny side note: When they run over to the arena, instead of holding an actual Switch, it's just a block of wood painted black.

He did say the units were real. He didn't say they actually played it, or that the units were even turned on.

They had a room for the actors to learn to play Splatoon on Wii U, so they could pretend to be playing it on the Switch controllers. They didn't have actual copies of Splatoon Switch running on set.

For as much as we like to go on about rooftop brunch parties, I really want to live in the alternate reality where Splatoon has an immensely popular pro league like that, though why the hell these pro teams aren't given a green room in a gigantic arena is beyond me.

they're just people who are looking for reasons to complain and the chunky nature of that footage gave them one. the fact that the footage is totally irrelevant to anything is a sore subject, i guess. i am fully aware that people are tired of this topic, but people keep bringing it up again and it is simply the stupidest thing i have ever heard in my entire life.

Damned if you do damned if you don't. Whenever a new Zelda title (not a Zelda tech demo) is shown one of the first negative things some people always point out are how much they hate the actual grass textures, how ugly the ground looks and everything is ruined because they don't bullshot the footage and lather it all up.

why do you think you know more about how well the switch runs than the actor in the commercial?

blahblahblah

It's not that great of a game imho.

I never had a 64, I played it a little at friends houses and just thought it was ugly as gently caress. I got the DS around launch I bought the remake though. It was aight. I never even finished it. I don't think I liked a 3D Mario until I got SM3DW. After that I got the 3DS one and also liked that.

Vaguely related; I beat every level on SMW this weekend. That was rad. I haven't done that since I was a kid. I completely forgot after you finish star road all the turtles turn into Mario faces. Also, gently caress Tubular. That level always hosed me as a kid too. It's literally the only level in the whole game that gave me trouble.
