Your squad was part of the challenge. They aren't meant to help you, they're there to make it tougher to get medals because you have to keep them alive.
Some of nintendo's properties would make excellent movies or shows. Star Fox, F-Zero, and Splatoon immediately come to mind as those properties are full of expressive and stylish characters.
But Mario, Zelda, Kirby, etc movies just don't need to be made. They are template IPs that were always designed to serve the gameplay, which is what Nintendo used to excel at. Movies about those properties are doomed to be shallow, unfaithful, or just a string of dopamine hits like the Mario movie.
What’s wrong with a video game movie being a string of dopamine hits? Do you really imagine a splatoon movie being some thought-provoking dramatic tour de force?
Splatoon has several subplots and lore items that would make for a good movie. I would expect something along the lines of a classic dreamworks or pixar movie.
I mean, why wouldn't they? They have a solid line of characters that most people like with stories that are uncontroversially easy to adapt. Its shocking it took this long.
The problem will arise between the Western studios trying to Wokeify it and Miyamoto trying to put Motion Controls in a movie somehow before he allows it to be made.
I'll disagree with the echo chamber around here and say that if the Mario movie qualifies as woke, then almost any movie in history does because we've moved the bar so low that every single explanation of it uses the same buzzword "girlboss."
She was her entire army, leaving them completely helpless at first mention of trouble. Which meant when it came she had to go beg a psychotic monkey for his army, and only got it because Mario was there to push a deal through when she couldn't. A failure of a general and leader, something important for the only royal in her entire kingdom.
Even the usually claimed "girlboss" scene from the trailer is her walking out to lose, which she instantly does, because she has completely failed at accomplishing anything the entire movie except for training Mario.
Who, after a single montage in which a normal human from Brooklyn fails to be an instant expert at Parkour in a magical world compared to someone who spent her entire life there, is never treated as inept and is constantly shown to be quick thinking and capable.
Any more questions you got from watching outrage bait videos?

The hyper over analyzing is adorable, you could just as easily say she managed to maintain peace and stability as a one woman army until recent events occurred by your same rhetoric
No, that's literally the plot. The toads are incapable of doing anything, so they gotta ask Kong for his army and he is insane. Its the first scene she is in and its laid all out right there in words children can understand.
Good job though, you used more cheap buzzwords to try and support your disproven original buzzword.
She was hardly girlboss, she failed everything she tried and the things she had success in was because she was raised there and knew the Mushroom Kingdom.
The Switch had an excellent launch, but now Nintendo is just dripfeed central. The success of the Mario movie means they're going to focus more on shallow "Look! It's <1-dimensional character> on the big screen!!" and less on games.
It's the first time I'm not excited for a mainline Zelda game. If it ends up being shit like it looks, Nintendo is dead to me.
That problem started with the Wii, imo. Galaxy was a huge success, so they just made Galaxy 2 which was just more levels pretending to be a mainline game. Twilight Princess was hugely anticipated so they just added motion controls and called it the Wii launch seller, and then made a Zelda game so heavy on them its still unplayably awful. Same with Metroid Prime 3, and many others.
The problem with the Switch is they have way more "mainline" series than in the past, so if they don't all appeal to you then it seems way more stretched out because things like Xenoblade and Fire Emblem aren't as "all purpose" as Mario or Zelda.
They are objectively drip feeding though. The Metroid Prime remaster was completely finished, and Nintendo sat on it for over a year before surprise releasing it.
A remaster isn't new content to begin with to even consider. Also the real dripfeed is how we've gotten only a single new Metroid game in over a decade to begin with. And that's if you even count Other M as real.
Which I would argue is probably a massively overinflated number, because so many people had to buy a second one because they were so poorly built.
Everyone in my circle of game-playing friends had to replace their PS2 (and XBox 360, for that matter) within 3 years so that their purchased games and accessories didn't become useless.
In the 20 or so years the PS2 has existed, I've personally had to buy 5 of them because of how faulty they are after a while. Which wouldn't be a problem if the emulation for it wasn't spotty.
Compared to every Nintendo console where emulating them during their lifetime is usually possible and even preferrable in many cases.
That's not my experience at all. It's like we're living in opposite worlds.
5 of them.
I've only ever had one PS2. Still works 21 years later. I just turned it on to check, though on the rare occasion that I actually want to play a PS2 game I use the PCSX2 emulator instead, leading to my second point.
if the emulation for it wasn't spotty.
PCSX2 seems to be working fine for anyone with a decent enough computer.
Killzone (2004), Cold Winter (2005), Black (2006), Dark Cloud, Seek and Destroy, The Seed: Warzone and a heap of other games that I've tried work perfectly. Encountered no problems whatsoever. I don't even think that much messing around with the emulator options needs to be done. Connect the PS4 DualShock to the PC via USB and these games function just as they would on the PS2 except with a much higher resolution. I haven't found any problems with the ePSXe emulator for PS1 either.
The only PS2 game that I can think of that emulates poorly is Scarface: The World Is Yours (2006). And even that game doesn't seem to have performance or stability problems, only annoying vertical coloured bars down the screen.
I don't know what to tell you mate, I've had three fat boys and two skinnys and all of them have had their disc drive fail. Which is a common issue with them to the point where its one of the first repair guides you can find, though granted I've likely been quite unlucky to have that many.
And the PS2 emulator is the only one I've ever had problems with, as I've got most other emulators running just fine. Which, again, based on discussions I've had over many years seems to not be just a me issue though I see plenty of people running it just fine. Which is why I went with "spotty" instead of nonfunctional.
Thankfully a large portion of PS2 games ended up ported or remastered on the PS3 and that emulator works no issue, so they are still accessible. Except for GoW3 which will melt your PC.
Dude, the cheapest Steam Deck is 50 bucks more expensive than the Switch, isn't available in major retailers, and doesn't have the IPs people buy Nintendo consoles for. Don't EmUlAtIoN at me either, most people don't want to bother emulating games.
The Switch and the Steam Deck aren't really competing for the same market, the Steam Deck isn't the Nintendo killer. If Nintendo survived the Wii U they can survive the Steam Deck, an enthusiast product that doesn't appeal to the casual market that Nintendo caters to.
That's an absurd argument. AAA games are 70 bucks on steam and on switch, and indies are generally the same price. Steam might have better sales and a wider selection of indies, but outside of sales the games are priced the same.
That new Tony Hawk game is the same price on Switch, Xbox, Playstation and Steam. The Steam deck also can't play pirated games without some insane fenagling if at all so the "free" aspect of PC gaming isn't really there.
For programs that work, adding them to the steam library is just the easiest way to get them running. You can always install Proton/Wine the old fashion way if you really want.
I have one. Any windows exe can be added to your library, then Steam automatically uses Proton to run it. I use this for all my non-steam games that aren't native linux.
I find SteamOS to be a far superior platform than Windows.
I was shocked at how intuitive, fast, and easy it is to use (especially in Desktop Mode).
I WISH Windows was that simple to use. Any device driver, program, or utility I need, you just type it in the search bar and it pulls up all the available apps. You don't need a ridiculous Windows account, or a Windows Store account, or an Xbox Live account, or any of that other annoying stuff that you need to hop through to get apps to work right on Windows 10/11.
I wish Valve made a desktop version of the SteamOS because for my next gaming rig I would have that in place over Windows. Plus, I love how easy it is to navigate the SteamOS for games/apps using a controller for the tabs.
It’s only a matter of time before Hollywood parasitically latches onto Nintendo and corrupts Nintendo. Hollywood is an incurable disease that infects all entertainment mediums.
I loved that game. Only annoyance was your squad wasn’t much help
Your squad was part of the challenge. They aren't meant to help you, they're there to make it tougher to get medals because you have to keep them alive.
Makes sense. I didn’t have a Super Nintendo very long (friend left it over when he spent the night so I had it for a month).
Do a barrel roll!
Just give the Fox in Space guy a budget.
Some of nintendo's properties would make excellent movies or shows. Star Fox, F-Zero, and Splatoon immediately come to mind as those properties are full of expressive and stylish characters.
But Mario, Zelda, Kirby, etc movies just don't need to be made. They are template IPs that were always designed to serve the gameplay, which is what Nintendo used to excel at. Movies about those properties are doomed to be shallow, unfaithful, or just a string of dopamine hits like the Mario movie.

Splatoon has several subplots and lore items that would make for a good movie. I would expect something along the lines of a classic dreamworks or pixar movie.
You mentioning making a movie out of F-Zero makes me think of Redline, a fantastic anime movie about racing in space that came out about 10 years ago.
I would love to watch another movie like it.
Untz untz untz untz untz untz untz untz untz untz untz untz untz untz untz untz
+1 for redline. Excellent anime movie!
Mario movie was great fun, was simple just pure fun like the games.
I mean, why wouldn't they? They have a solid line of characters that most people like with stories that are uncontroversially easy to adapt. Its shocking it took this long.
The problem will arise between the Western studios trying to Wokeify it and Miyamoto trying to put Motion Controls in a movie somehow before he allows it to be made.
“Trying”
Looks at girlboss Peach and goofy inept Mario…
I'll disagree with the echo chamber around here and say that if the Mario movie qualifies as woke, then almost any movie in history does because we've moved the bar so low that every single explanation of it uses the same buzzword "girlboss."
Really?! Care to share what flaws she had?
She was her entire army, leaving them completely helpless at first mention of trouble. Which meant when it came she had to go beg a psychotic monkey for his army, and only got it because Mario was there to push a deal through when she couldn't. A failure of a general and leader, something important for the only royal in her entire kingdom.

Notice you didn’t say peach, because once again she is their entire army
She was hardly girlboss, she failed everything she tried and the things she had success in was because she was raised there and knew the Mushroom Kingdom.

wow that was hard
For programs that work, adding them to the steam library is just the easiest way to get them running. You can always install Proton/Wine the old fashion way if you really want.
For older windows games, a VM should work.
That's not how the steam deck works.
I have one. Any windows exe can be added to your library, then Steam automatically uses Proton to run it. I use this for all my non-steam games that aren't native linux.
Proton. See my other comments

Does windows run worth a damn on it? You can always switch over to the Linux distro
