Same here. I briefly had an N64 but it was something I stumbled into while working at a FuncoLand decades ago. I kept it for maybe 3 months and traded it in. I think we mostly played GoldenEye on it.

Street Fighter died for like 10 years until 4 came out in 2009. I don't know why you'd skip good games or consoles otherwise.

The amount of casuals in this thread is staggering. I must be spending too much time on ResetEra and reddit where people buy every major game day 1 and have decades of discussion over it.

I jumped ship to the PS1 and PS2. Tekken, SoulCalibur, KOF, Capcom VS SNK and such took over for me.

You missed out on some groundbreaking games. Fighters are fun, but only sticking with fighting games gets old after awhile.

Not when there's so many. And when you have a brother to play with.

I do miss the old days before work, rent, mortgage and whatnot got in the way. Like when Street Fighter 2 was new, we were up all night playing the hell out of it for the SNES. I remember similar experiences with WWF Royal Rumble back in the day since it featured (at the time) the wrestlers we saw on TV (except Flair).

I think the SNES games that were not fighting games that made us play for hours were Megaman X and Mario RPG, especially the RPG naturally.

Then we finally got our hands on a PS1 and got into SF EX + Alpha and the Tekken games and whatnot.

The PS2 got us the KOF games and whatnot.

I barely have time to devote countless hours to gaming nowadays. I don't exactly run to the controller the moment I clock off work. I just wanna chill and do nothing. The only RPG I play once in a rare while is Persona 5 Strikers, and that's maybe a few hours to at least progress the story before I hit save and get back to it the next time I remember that I own it.

I mean I have a full time job and still have 5-6 hours to play videogames each weekday. I don't know how you guys consume media but I have plenty of time to play games and watch shows/movies.

N64 had some groundbreaking games. Ocarina of Time is still a masterpiece to this day. Gamecube was good but a little less so. Wii was mostly known for the Mario Galaxy games, Twilight Princess, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Metroid Prime Trilogy, etc.

It's weird. Though I sort of get it... none of the worlds in Galaxy are particularly memorable but the worlds in Odyssey are.

The issue is they're going to run out of ideas for the third movie when they make one. This movie is combining:

- Super Mario World: Mario meets Yoshi for the first time

- Mario Galaxy: Rosalina and the observatory, traveling through space

- Mario Odyssey: The sand world kingdom and mexican skeletons pictured above

- Mario Sunshine/Wonder: Bowser Jr. is introduced with his paintbrush


They're like taking 4 big Mario games and merging it all together. Technically 5 if they include Mario Galaxy 2 worlds in it as well.

What is left for a third movie? The Koopalings I guess...lol

I mean they're just remixing things, this is galaxy in name only, it has worlds from Odyssey but at the same time it's an original story of Baby Bowser trying to save his father and I guess conquer the kingdom.
The first movie people can say that it "adapted" SMB1 I guess but it's basically an original story, that used elements from every mario game, mario kart and even Donkey Kong arcade

The third movie will just be another original story using elements from the 40 years of history of Super Mario. They'll be fine.

I don't think they'll even touch Wario or Daisy until a Super mario 4 or 5. If Nintendo even allows Illumination to use them. Though I think things could get crazier since I think Miyamoto won't be supervising anything after mario 3. Hell, maybe the zelda movie is the last thing he supervises.

Now that I think about it, Nintendo is going to be parading Miyamoto around until he dies like Disney did with Stan Lee aren't they?

Last month, I met both Kenny James and Samantha Kelly, the longtime voices of Bowser and Princess Peach and Toad, respectively at a convention. Kenny told me he did not see the first movie, but Samantha said she did and she enjoyed Anya Taylor-Joy and Keegan-Michael Key’s performances as Peach and Toad. I told them that I wish they had some involvement in the movie like Charles Martinet, the longtime voices of Mario and Luigi did. Kenny told me he heard that Charles wasn’t thrilled about Chris Pratt and Charlie Day doing his characters. I can understand why Charles would’ve been disappointed, but it was good of Universal and Illumination to have him voice Mario and Luigi’s dad, other family members, and the character where he got to do his iconic voice. I’m sure he was told ahead of time that this would happen unlike the late Janet Waldo whose dialogue as Judy Jetson in Jetsons: The Movie was replaced by Tiffany and Matthew Lillard, Grey DeLisle, and Kate Miccuci, who were not told that they wouldn’t be reprising their roles as Shaggy, Daphne, and Velma, respectively in Scoob!

ETA: I think some archive audio of Samantha Kelly was used for the other Toads in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Pretty much. If you ask anyone that's played Super Mario Galaxy to describe what the game is about, they'd say, "Bowser attacks Peach's castle and rips it out of the ground, taking it into space, where he's trying to create a new galaxy. Mario chases after to rescue the princess and stop Bowser's plan." This movie doesn't look like it's going to have anything to do with any of that.

I didn't even make that connection with the paintbrush. But yeah, sort of, sure. And I'm not sure if we're getting the Observatory. We may just get those spinning ring boosters that blows Mario to the next world and that's it, or maybe Mario's Starship Mario from Galaxy 2 or his full-on spaceship from Odyssey.

This really should of just been a Yoshi movie. The Galaxy stuff should of been saved for the third movie. This movie is covering Yoshi/Mario World, Mario Odyssey, Mario 2 in the casino part with Birdo and the other Mario bosses, baby Mario and Luigi, and Bowser Jr. and Rosalina all in the same movie?

They could call the third one. The Super Mario Odyssey Movie.
