- Pronouns
- he/him
Finally watched the Direct. Thoughts:
- They've been working on this for 7 years, meaning this was setup as part of Iwata's push to diversify the company's offerings: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2...tendos_position_in_the_entertainment_industry
So once again "Thank you Iwata!" - Pratt sounded like he may have ripped a bong before his interview during the pre-roll.
- Visuals look great and totally in-line with what Nintendo's in-house teams have been doing for CGI since the GameCube era
- Loving the characterization with Bowser where there's definitely a feel of him being a serious threat
- That said, Jack Black sounds like he's trying a little too hard to sound like Jim Cumming's Pete voice which is a little off-putting. But it does kinda work for the character
- Not sold yet on Pratt's work. It's fine, but that's not my Mario.
- Also not a big fan of the facial redesign of Mario where he looks slightly closer to Fix-It Felix now.
- Luigi I think sounded better but there was so little of it to really form a cohesive opinion.
