The text of the IGN review reads like all the criticism people have of the recent games.
Padding? over-tutorialization? Autopilot humor and writing? Yup, sounds like Dream Team-onwards M&L alright.
Today, the English fan translation patch for Medarot 3 (Game Boy Color RPG) got its 1.0 release, and to my surprise, I got a shout-out on the release page! Very happy about it.
I have a confession to make: I was paid off by Big Nintendo to astroturf interest in the Nintendo Switch game "Crazy Galaxy" on the Super Mario WIki and its twitter account. However, the game was cancelled and I am now destitute.
I'm not a lawyer either, so my read on the situation is as follow. It could be bullshit. I don't know. That's how I see it.
-Since mariowiki's servers are hoted in the US (AFIK), Fair Use can be used as a defense. It's not a silver bullet like the internet would lead you to believe - the wiki...
I generated this one a few weeks ago. I was quite happy that ChatGPT understood Noshi's character in all his facets such as him being apparently a Mario Kart racer and his famed "lighting fast reflexes"
Let me tell you the tale of Army Men.
In the early 90's, one Trip Hawkins had big dreams and left his cushy job as founder and CEO of Electronic Arts to found The 3DO Company and release its self-titled console. The console bombed because the business model was never viable and loaded with...
Lmao, a friend pointed me to your edit about that one kickstarter trailer that had broque monsieur in it and, long story short, we now got the insider scoop on that https://twitter.com/GdnkBomb/status/1754692027978260980
Speaking as the unremarkably-sized pooblah of the wiki's twitter, I personally have no interest in expanding to other social medias, and neither did Shokora when we talked about it. Whenever Elon inevitably pisses on the twitter master servers or something, I'll just call it quit.
The current...
I don't think voice actors credits need to be sourced with hard, capital A academic sources, because yes in many instances it's impossible and not even the actor themselves remember. But I do think it needs to be walked through to the reader in some way, even if it's as simple as "This character...
I disagree with the notion. This is very red carpet as far as announcing a voice actor recast goes. Video games are not movies or even TV shows. Vanishingly few people are going to buy a video game on the basis of who voice the characters and this stuff is rarely publicitized unless they got a...
The writing was on the wall with them moving to AI recordings for the Mario in Real time exhibits but it still feels so sudden.
I wasn't in love with his performance as Mario but it's undeniable Charles was a big part of the character's identity for the past 30-ish years. I wish him the best...
Well yes, if it's true, it is worth mentioning. What I object to is listing to it in this way, like he sat down in the recording booth to make sound for those games like he did for Saturday Supercade.
I think a better way to do it would be to make separate sections when a voice clip is reused...
The topic of dubbing and voice actors attracts a lot of very passionate people, and with that, a lot of overeagerness. Our page for quote-unquote voice actors are not exempt. I observe three recurring problems:
- If someone who has another role in production but was asked to record a few grunts...
An employee of the defunct video game outlet Kikizo has been digitzing tapes recorded by the magazine. This includes the 2000 Nintendo Spaceworld presentation and its showcase of Super Mario 128, making for the highest quality and most comprehensive footage of the game yet. Watch as hundred of...
Dreamnt Ashley and Red were playable in a new paper mario games.
The only part I remember is that you'd fight uhhh the green buzzy beetle martial artist from the first Paper Mario twice and he'd get butthurt and move to some icy location where you'd fight him again. Ashley could buff herself...
There is some other cross-promotion through things like Super Mario Maker 1's costumes, WarioWare microgames, amiibo extras (even if that's dead now), etc etc. So there are instances where for example, Mother Brain appears on Captain N and interacts with Donkey Kong in one episode, appears in...
As I recently acquired the Umbrella blu-ray for the 1993 movie, I have started working on properly documenting the movie's home video releases. I would like feedback on the format, as I believe we will need a standardized format with Nintendo ramping up its TV and movie ambition.
I would also...
There's no standard in wiki policy regarding this, and IMO there shouldn't be. My view is that if anyone is credited on a Mario game, or can produce sufficient proof of their involvement, they warrant a page.
There's currently more pages on creatives than technical folks because rightly, or...
