Chris Pratt as Mario is probably the biggest questionable choice in the movie... BUT he did work on The Lego Movie and Ben 10, which he did pretty good on. So, I don't know. I'm definitely conflicted as I prefer the actual voices to actors, but who knows? (btw, Charlie Days and Jack Black just make sense to me)

[@Rexaura888]

Not familiar with that time he was on Ben 10, but I liked him in Onwards. I’m just wondering if he’s going to try to go for an accent or just give his normal speaking voice to Mario as tends to be the case for most celeb actors put in voice roles like Ben Schwartz as Sonic.

[@gameridiotNOT]

@@Rexaura888 Apparently he voiced the mutant human, Cooper. The blonde kid with the purple jersey. More specific in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien, obviously not the original series

[@MrAuthor3DS]

I'm gonna stay neutral until I actually hear them.

[@cider2384]

Besides Mario and Peach, the rest of the character casting seems to be based on comedic value. Charlie Day - comedian. Jack Black - comedian. Seth Rogan - comedian. Keegan Key - comedian. Hell, Chris Pratt is actually listed as a comedian on Wikipedia as well. So make that 5. SEEMS very typical of Illumination to hire 5 comedians to voice the 5/6 of the main cast. Like what they did to the Despicable Me franchise, they just turned it into full blown child comedy, I feel they would do the same to the Mario movie, although the actors they hired have "adult" humor, so...I don't know if it will even work.

[@quietdemon8138]

Ha wasn’t expecting this casting for the Mario movie from Nintendo and Illumination but I gotta say it’s kinda perfect, Chris as Mario was weird and unusual at first but now thinking about his voice he may actually be perfect for the role, Anya as Peach is completely unsurprising in the most perfect way possible she’s gonna be awesome as the character and hopefully give her more dimension than she’s had in the past, Jack as Bowser is gonna be comedy gold and I legit can’t wait to see how he plays a villain and finally Seth as Donkey Kong is hilarious, his voice also just seems to mix perfectly with the image of Kong himself, so yeah in terms of the main cast I’m personally hyped to see how this movie turns out .... no seriously I ain’t kidding I really wanna watch it 😂

Is it weird that the most surprising thing from this direct for me was Ninji reappearing? New Kirby game looks divine though.

[@ninboy01]

Ninjis have had a bit of a reprisal lately. They have been in all recent Paper Mario games, and showed up in the speedrun mode of Mario Maker 2. But yeah, certainly a surprising pick for Mario Golf regardless.

[@ParadoxBrony]

Regarding the Mario movie, the reason why Hollywood feels the need to rely on known actors is because there is zero faith that video game properties can carry themselves so the big names are to get your average person into the theater. The only way this stops is when people stop going to see movies because of the actors that are in the movie.

Hey at least most of the actors got talent and experience doing voice roles. And probley love the project

@@TopOfAllWorlds Oh no! A voice actor doing voice actor's expected work??? What a cruel world, voice actors will never be able to do a full movie like visual actors can! On the more serious side of things, we have no idea of if Charles wanted it and was declined or had declined himself. There are obvious issues if he wanted it and was declined, but if he didn't feel up to it they could have... you know... gotten an actual voice actor instead of star power. Nothing against Pratt, but it's clear that they mainly want him for his Star power.

[@Megafan16]

I agree with the part about using star power for the cast. That's exactly what Blue Sky did for most of their movies, especially Ice Age (they got fricking Nicki Minaj to voice a minor character for crying out loud), and look how they turned out; and why Walt Disney Animation usually has actors that not as many people know about (take the cast for Zootopia) AND don't prominently bill them on posters.

[@Midnight_Rein]

Sooo as someone who knows some of the Catalyst guys directly, Shadowrun started off as a TTRPG. The computer games are a pretty good representation of it, but yeah, basic gist of the premise is that the earth moves in magic cycles, and that at the end of the 2012 Aztek calendar, magic re-emerged and a bunch of people started turning into orks and trolls, and then people started being born elves and dwarves. Dragons came out of hibernation and most of them took over mega-corps and started running a big cyberpunk distopia world, where you're either a killer cyborg with tons of augs or a magic-user with some killer skills. DnD with guns and motorcycles man. And then there's the unkillable bug spirits that devour your soul, steal your body and memories, and then walk around as you to advance their hive and serve their queen. They *nuked* them in Chicago and it did nothing because, in very short, magic and tech are two different types of energy that interfere with eachother, and a nuke is pure tech energy, so it just put them to sleep in the lining of the crater.

Highlights for me: Kirby and the Forgotten Land, first ever 3D Kirby game! Ninji is coming to Mario Golf Super Rush! More Metroid Dread, and with cool voice-overs too! Dr. Mario 64 as one of the launch games for Nintendo 64 on Nintendo Switch Online! (played that a lot as a kid) Original Paper Mario and BANJO-FLIPPING-KAZOOIE are coming to Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo 64 library on Nintendo Switch Online, probably the best announcement from this Direct! Castlevania Advance Collection, some of the best games in the series! Deltarune Chapter 2 coming to Switch, I will GLADLY double-dip for this game! Also, that Toby dog dance gives me life! Foreman Spike, my favorite obscure Mario character, is confirmed to be in the Super Mario Bros. movie, and his voice actor, Sebastian Maniscalo, is getting top billing along with the main characters, implying that he'll have a major role! That's a win for me! And he's even got an Emblem, and given that Kamek's emblem is from Mario Kart Tour, maybe Foreman Spike will appear in Mario Kart Tour? Or other Mario spin-offs? I can only hope! Charles Martinet being in the Super Mario Bros. movie... Hopefully he's Wario and Waluigi. Disappointments: No new Wario Land, Rhythm Heaven, Star Fox, F-Zero, etc. (Star Fox 64 and F-Zero X don't count, though it is cool that they're coming) Mario Party Superstars only has 5 boards, and none of them are Waluigi's Island. Having to pay extra for Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games on Nintendo Switch Online. Honorable Mentions (not a highlight or disappointment but still worth mentioning for me): ActRaiser Renaissance, I recognize ActRaiser as a cult classic, cool to see it remade. The cast announcement for the Super Mario Bros. movie. It's... Well, it's a very Illumination cast, I'll say that much. (Chris Pratt as Mario, what the actual heck... and Jack Black as Bowser, Seth Rogen as Donkey Kong, Keegan-Michael Key as Toad, this is just too surreal) Splatoon 3... wish I could say more about it, but the Mario movie cast overwhelmed me at that point. Bayonetta 3 trailer... finally.

I love how the chat says they love the new look for Bayo, and almost 24 hrs later, i'm still like i don't know if i hate or i love it, she looks like a nerd and i don't like that but i know it's reminiscent from how she looked when she was a child as was shown in the first game. As for the Direct in general, for me, it was okay, not good, not bad, just okay, like 7/10. I'm glad after years i've got to see Bayo again, i know it's still in development but it looked kinda crunchy like, it looks worse than Bayo2, and Bayo2 looked good. And the only thing aside Bayo3 that got me with the hunger for more, was Kirby, like, it actually legit impressed me how it looks, it looks fantastic and i want to see more of it, i haven't been interested on a Kirby game since Canvas Curse, and that game is awesome and it's from 2006 IIRC and Forgotten City really made me consider it for my library

[@Rexaura888]

All I really have to say here is that I came in with a healthy expectation that they were going to talk about Winter launches as they advertised and expected to see some Advance Wars. Somehow they danced entirely around Advance Wars and the like and most showed off things that were coming out today, next month, or mid-late next year, the Mario movie included. Not upset, just baffled by the misdirection from the advertising. I guess a few other things: looking forward to the next step in 3D Kirby platforming after Kirby 3D and Blowout Blast, hearing the Roost made me tear up a bit, hopefully more devs can learn from Triangle Strategy and Hades Beta, hope that Expansion Pack isn’t too pricey for just the games or if it is pricey include other features too (or better yet just improve the internet service for everyone), Dread can’t come soon enough, and I’m happy for everyone who got what they wanted even if they didn’t know they wanted it like Reese for Actraiser and all the Bayo fans who’ve been holding out for Bayo 3. Your faith did not go unrewarded. Oh, and hopefully F-Zero X having online means we’re one step closer to having a 32-man online F-Zero race some day.

[@KoroxasHeart]

Mario movie is comedy btw, decision made by Illumination and need star power cast to attract more people to come watch it. Knowing their studio, they LOVE milking it.

Well think about it this way if it was charles doing all his characters he would pretty much be doing everyone but peach, do you know how tiring and time consuming that would be, especially for someone his age, it rather have big star names than charles working to the bone, also he's probably giving tips on how to voice them better, also at least he makes cameos

[@Unyubaby]

My only possible assumption as to why Charles is not voicing Mario, that isn't just blatant Hollywood star power, is his age and the fact he'd have to voice both Mario and Luigi, and potentially much more. Let's also remember that while he does do a lot of their voices, they aren't feature length films but rather short bursts since overall the cast don't really "say" all that much in the games.

[@Rexaura888]

You ever seen any of the meet and greets he’s done as Mario at NYC Nintendo and E3? He can talk as Mario and Luigi for a while, in full sentences no less, but then again, those aren’t feature length productions.

Wish more people understood that Prime is a side story for Metroid. The main story goes Metroid -> Metroid II -> Super Metroid -> Metroid Fusion -> Dread. That's why Samus looks different. This is her after Fusion, when her suit had to be altered to save her life. EDIT: People upset over the Mario cast should mellow a bit. We have no what the movie is about. Let's wait until we get a trailer to decide if it's gonna be shit.

sadly i think the mario movie will be a kids movie and will need the star power to get parents to the movie. the names are known and for the most part wholesome and entertaining. of course if this spins off many more movies using game assets then maybe the voice actors can try to get their foot in the door with the movies only being able to get one big name and paring them with many smaller in the future , but this would all depend on a mario movie not bom-oming

The reason Charles Martinet isn't voicing Mario and Luigi is because he voices both, and Luigi is evidently going to be a main character, and you almost never want 2 main characters voiced by the same guy in a movie, just look at Adam Sandler in Eight Crazy Nights, and you'll see why. And it'd be jarring if he voiced one but not the other, so I can definitely see why they opted to just have him voice neither. EDIT: Addendum, but I've also heard Charles do full sentences in his Mario voice and if I'm being honest, it'd get old FAST in a movie, ESPECIALLY if it's twofold if he's also voicing Luigi. He's good in short bursts, not for long periods of time like a movie. Point I'm trying to make is I don't think they're shafting Charles Martinet in favor of star power, and it's more out of necessity.

@@CrimsonRedHeat9 I can understand scrubbing Byleth's English VA because he's actually guilty of doing something. Chris Pratt on the other hand, he hasn't actually done anything wrong. People are basically after him because another celebrity made the assumption his church is anti-lgbt by association. Therefore Chris Pratt must be anti-lgbt too. That makes zero sense, it's a guilt by association fallacy.

Jack Black, please save the Mario movie!

I'm super worried about the Super Mario movie now. Don't get me wrong, those are all great actors, but something studios need to realize is good actors does not mean good voice actors. There have been plenty of movies where big name actors did terrible voice work.
